I provide honest, hard-working Web Design for Hereford businesses. I don’t deal in flashy gimmicks, just solid WordPress builds and practical SEO that gets you found. My focus is on clear UX (User Experience), ensuring your site does exactly what it says on the tin: brings you more enquiries.
Hi, I’m Ben from Ben Builds Websites. Not your average Web Designer as I’m an ex-tradesperson and business owner, not a tech salesman. I know Hereford businesses value a job done right, so I use my practical experience in Web Design and SEO to build sites that actually generate work.
I specialise in affordable, hardworking websites. Every site I build is fast, mobile-friendly, and set up properly to get you found on Google—simple as that.
The best bit?
You won’t be passed around a sales team or deal with account managers – you deal directly with me and only me. I design it, build it, and support it. No jargon, no fluff, just honest advice and websites that bring in real enquiries.
Most web designers have never run a business outside of web design. I have. I’m an ex-tradesperson and previously owned multiple businesses. I know that a website isn’t an art project (although it must look nice) it’s a tool to get the phone ringing and your business out there online.
I’m not just a tech guy, As well as Web Design and SEO, I’ve been on the tools and run my own businesses. I understand that a website isn’t an art project it’s a tool to get your business out there and enquiries in.
Most designers charge extra to make your site visible on Google. I build Local SEO into the foundation of every site, so you start climbing the rankings in Telford, Shrewsbury, and Ludlow from day one.
Sick of monthly “lease” fees? Once you pay for your website, it belongs to you. No hidden rental contracts, no holding your domain hostage. You have full control.
I speak plain English. You won’t hear about “synergy” or “funnels.” We talk about getting the phone to ring and getting you found on things like Google, Maps and Google Business Profile without the confusing words or tech terminology.
I’m based in Much Wenlock, not a call centre overseas. If you have a problem, you call me directly. If you want to discuss strategy, we can grab a coffee. Real local support matters.
70% of your customers are searching for you on their phones. I build websites that look perfect and load instantly on mobile, so you never lose a customer just because they’re on 4G.
I’ve spent over a decade building sites that work. Hereford businesses hire me for Web Design and SEO because they want a website that works for a living, ranking high on Google and bringing in enquiries.
I do the hard graft in the background—Local SEO, keyword research, and complete website design from start to finish, so you can focus on your business. The result is a website that pulls its weight, stands out, and generates real enquiries!
“From the first chat you've been great. You have really listened, visited us in person, and explained everything in plain English. The website looks amazing and we’ve already had enquiries from it. Couldn’t be happier.”
More than just web design. It’s building brands that stand out.
I provide Website Design, SEO, and Social Media Management for businesses in Hereford and the surrounding areas. Based nearby in Shropshire, I work with businesses across Hereford and Shropshire, helping them build professional online presences that attract the right customers and generate real enquiries.
Looking for no-nonsense Web Design in Hereford? I offer straightforward packages for businesses across the county, including Leominster, Ross-on-Wye, and Ledbury.
Whether you’re a local trade or a growing company, I build fast, mobile-responsive sites that rank. No inflated agency rates—just honest pricing and practical SEO that turns visitors into real enquiries.
Hereford is the engine of the Wye Valley. Whether you are based on the Rotherwas Industrial Estate, in High Town, or serving the wider county, the competition here is tougher than anywhere else in the region.
I provide Hereford-focused SEO strategies that cut through the noise. You don’t need a generic package; you need a local expert who knows how to target customers in HR1, HR2, and HR4. I build websites that dominate the local search results, ensuring that when customers in the city need your trade, yours is the first number they dial.
I target both specific city terms (e.g., “Builders in Hereford” or “Accountants in Herefordshire”) and wider county terms to ensure you don’t miss the big rural jobs.
Essential for local trades. I optimise your profile to ensure you appear in the “Local 3-Pack” whether the customer is in Tupsley, Whitecross, or the city centre.
I ensure your site is fast, mobile-friendly, and easy for Google to read. A bulky, slow website with massive images that have huge file sizes, incorrectly formatted designs and poor link building is a big turn-off for Google. Building it correctly ensures your website is a Ferrari not a skateboard!
Clear, honest reporting. You will know exactly what is working and why
There is a lot involved in a quality SEO campaign. It’s a cocktail of quality work, not just a quick shot of one particular thing! Want to know more? Read more about SEO and why it matters/how it’s done properly.

Review from Naturally Plastered – Heritage Builder
I’ve answered some of the most common questions I get about web design, SEO, pricing, and build times. Whether you’re a business or tradesperson in Shropshire, these FAQs should give you a clearer idea of what to expect when having a website built.
Website pricing depends on what you need. A simple, professional website for a small business or tradesperson will cost less than a larger, SEO-focused site with multiple pages and features. I offer clear, transparent pricing with no hidden fees, and I’ll always recommend the most cost-effective option based on your goals and budget.
Most small business websites can be designed and built within 2–4 weeks, depending on the size of the site and how quickly content is provided. I focus on efficient turnaround times without cutting corners, so you get a high-quality, fully optimised website that’s ready to generate enquiries.
Yes! Every website I build is SEO-ready from day one. This includes clean site structure, mobile optimisation, fast load speeds, keyword-focused content, and on-page SEO best practices. If you’re targeting local customers, I also optimise for things like local SEO in Shropshire to help your business appear in relevant Google searches.
I specialise in building websites for tradespeople, small businesses, and local companies across Shropshire. Having worked in the trades myself, I understand what customers look for and how to design websites that build trust, clearly explain services, and generate real enquiries — not just look nice.
Absolutely. If you already have a website but it’s outdated, slow, or not bringing in enquiries, I can redesign it with a fresh, modern look and improved SEO performance. Website redesigns focus on better structure, clearer messaging, and improved visibility on Google, helping your business get more from its online presence.
Definitley! I’ll be over in Hereford at your business before we start designing the website. I really believe visiting clients at their premises or on site helps me get a better picture of your business, branding, direction, customers, competition and gives me extra powers to create a better site for you.
