Essential Web · Woking, Surrey

Websites that work as hard as your business does

I rebuild tired websites for local businesses so they look current, work properly on phones and make it easy for customers to get in touch. Then I host them and keep them running, so you don't have to think about it.

Why it matters

What a good website does for a local business

Gets you foundCustomers look you up before they call. A clear site helps them find you and choose you.
Works around the clockEnquiries come in at 10pm, on Sundays and while you're out on a job.
Builds trust fastA current, tidy site makes a good business look like one at first glance.
One tap to callOn a phone, your number, area and services are right there.
Fewer wasted callsPrices, areas and common questions are answered before people ring.
Yours, not a directory'sNo competitors listed next to you, and no fees per lead.

What I do

Everything your website needs, in one place

Most small businesses don't need a big agency. They need a site that loads fast, reads well on a phone and turns visitors into calls.

Hosting and careFast, secure hosting, small text and photo changes, and a monthly check that everything works.
