I offer expert WordPress development, SEO, and Web Design for Ludlow businesses and tradespeople. I focus on practical User Experience (UX) to improve your visibility online and locally, making it easier for customers to find and contact you online. Results backed by real experience!
Hi, I’m Ben. I’m not your typical web designer because I’ve run my own businesses right here in Shropshire. I understand the pressure to make payroll and find customers, so I build websites that actually deliver a return on investment.
I know you don’t need ‘digital transformation’ or agency waffle. You need the phone to ring and clicks on site. I use my real-world experience to build Websites and SEO strategies that actually generate work, not just look pretty.
Every website I build is designed to be fast, mobile-friendly, easy to use, and optimised to help you get found on Google and other Search Engines.
The best bit?
You won’t be passed around a sales team or deal with account managers – you deal directly with me. 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’ve previously owned and operated businesses, grown from the ground up,so 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 been building websites and optimising SEO for over a decade!

“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 Ludlow and the surrounding areas. Ludlow is home to a strong community of independent businesses and tradespeople, and I help them build professional online presences that attract the right customers and generate real enquiries.
Looking for some of the best web design Ludlow has to offer?
I offer a range of website design and SEO packages for businesses across Ludlow and the surrounding areas Cleobury Mortimer, Tenbury Wells, Leintwardine, and across South Shropshire, designed to suit companies at different stages. From brand-new start-ups to established businesses looking to improve their online presence. Every website I build is custom-designed, mobile-responsive, and optimised for speed, usability, and search engines from day one.
My pricing is straightforward, transparent, and based on real-world value, not inflated agency rates.
Whether you’re a local tradesperson, small business owner, or growing company in Ludlow, I’ll help you choose the right solution to create a professional website that attracts visitors and turns them into real enquiries.
A website is useless if nobody sees it. You don’t need a fancy Digital Agency or a small mortgage on AdWords (PPC) to get to the top of Google, you just need a strategy that works, and someone with a solid understanding of how Google and other search engines work in 2026. That’s where I come in!
I provide no-nonsense SEO services in Ludlow, specifically designed for tradespeople and local businesses. I don’t sell “magic tricks” or confusing strategies,. I simply build your site correctly and optimise it for the local area so when people search for your business type or service, they find you, not your competitors.
I target the keywords that actually bring in money (e.g., “Plumber in Ludlow” or “Roofing Services Shropshire”).
I set up and optimise your map listing so you stand out in the local “Map Pack.” Google Business Profile optimisation is extremely important in 2026. Most people are searching from a phone or search directly in the google maps app for local services. If you’re not optimised correctly, you’re not going to show up!
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 Ludlow to help your business appear in relevant Google searches. This is things like making sure you appear in relevant searches on google for ‘Bakery in Ludlow‘ or ‘Bricklayer in Ludlow’
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.
100%. I really like meeting clients at their business premises (or nip out to a job if you’re a trade) to get a feel for your business, your customers, your brand and discuss your website design further. It’s also at this point we can discuss local competitors and get the edge on competition!
