Do you provide ongoing maintenance after launch?

Thirty days of snag fixes are included after launch at no extra cost — anything that does not work as specified gets fixed. Beyond that there are monthly plans for updates, backups, monitoring and small changes. They are optional and cancellable; a site handed over properly does not require a retainer to keep running.

Can you fix my existing site rather than rebuild it?

Often, yes, and it is usually the cheaper answer. Speed problems, a broken mobile layout, a form that silently fails or missing structured data are all fixable on the site you already have. I will tell you which of the two you need after looking, and a rebuild only gets recommended when the fix would cost more than starting again.

What hours will you be available to us in Yeovil?

My standard day lands at 05:00–14:00 your time — about 5 hours of genuine overlap with a normal Yeovil working day. That is enough for one reliable daily window rather than constant back-and-forth, so Yeovil projects run on written updates plus one scheduled call a week.

How long does a Yeovil project actually take?

Three days for a business site, seven for a store, ten for a custom application. That holds because the process is fixed rather than improvised and because your content exists on day one. What stretches a build is almost never the code — it is waiting for copy, logos and photographs, so those are requested before the clock starts.

Can you migrate my Yeovil site without losing rankings?

Yes, and the redirect map is the whole job. Every existing URL is mapped to its new equivalent with a 301 before launch, and anything with no equivalent goes to the closest relevant page rather than the homepage. Sites lose rankings in migration because that mapping was skipped, not because migration is inherently risky.

Do you build on WordPress or something custom?

Whichever the project justifies. WordPress when you need to edit content constantly and want a familiar admin. A static build when speed and security matter more than a plugin ecosystem. Custom PHP and MySQL when the logic is genuinely yours. The choice is explained in the quote with its trade-offs, not presented as a foregone conclusion.

What happens if I am not happy with the result?

Work is delivered in milestones against a written scope, and you review each one on a staging URL before it is paid for. If the delivered milestone does not match the scope, it gets corrected before anything moves forward. That structure exists so disagreement is resolved at the stage it happens rather than at the end when it is expensive.

Responsive web design and development in Yeovil

Responsive is not a feature to add at the end. A layout designed at 1440px and squeezed down produces a phone experience that technically works and practically loses enquiries — tap targets too close together, a form that fights the keyboard, and a call button below three screens of hero image. For Yeovil businesses, quoted in GBP from $80, typically live in 3 days.

What responsive web design and development includes for a Yeovil business

Fixed scope, agreed in writing before development starts. From $80, typically live in 3 days.

Mobile-first layouts designed at 360px and widened, rather than desktop layouts compressed
Fluid type and spacing scales so nothing is pinned to a handful of arbitrary breakpoints
Tap targets at 24px minimum with real spacing between them, per WCAG 2.2
Images served as AVIF and WebP with correct srcset and explicit width and height attributes
Forms with correct input types and autocomplete, so phone keyboards behave
Tables and wide content that scroll inside their own container instead of breaking the page
Tested on a real handset over mobile data, not only in a resized desktop browser
Core Web Vitals verified in the field after launch, including Cumulative Layout Shift

Why this matters for United Kingdom specifically

UK local search is the most saturated in the English-speaking world, so a merely competent site does not win the job — the quote form does. Every UK build I ship is specified around the enquiry step first and the homepage second.

The performance budget every Yeovil build is held to

Pages are built to a hard weight limit rather than optimised afterwards, because retrofitting speed onto a heavy site is several times the work of not making it heavy. In practice that means no framework runtime on a content page, fonts subset to the characters actually used, and images generated at the sizes actually displayed.

For United Kingdom specifically this is a commercial number, not a vanity one. A visitor on mobile data who waits four seconds is frequently a visitor who is gone, and the analytics will record it as a bounce rather than as the lost sale it was. Core Web Vitals is simply the name Google gave to noticing this.

Manufacturing, wholesale and B2B in Yeovil

A B2B site in Yeovil serves two audiences with opposite needs. A buyer wants specifications, tolerances, lead times and a downloadable datasheet. A procurement officer wants your company registration, insurance, certifications and payment terms. Serving both from one undifferentiated "About" page serves neither of them.

The highest-value feature is almost always a searchable product or capability index carrying real part numbers, because that is what engineers search for. It is unglamorous, it is a database problem rather than a design problem, and it produces enquiries that arrive already qualified.

Images shipped at ten times the size they display

A hero photograph exported at 4000 pixels wide and displayed at 400 is the most common single cause of a slow page. The browser downloads all of it and then discards most of it. On a phone over mobile data that is several seconds spent waiting for pixels nobody will ever see.

The fix is generating each image at the sizes actually used, serving AVIF or WebP with a fallback, and setting explicit width and height so the layout does not jump while they load. It is mechanical work with a directly measurable result, which makes it the first thing worth doing on almost any Yeovil site.

What I am not claiming about Yeovil

I have no office, postal address or phone number in Yeovil
I cannot meet you in person, and if that is a requirement you should hire locally
I am not claiming existing clients in Yeovil specifically — my live work is listed on the work page and you can check it
Nothing on this page is a guarantee of search rankings, which no developer can honestly offer
