Web Design & Website Management
You run the business. We make sure it looks after you online.
From your website and email to updates, security and local search, we take care of the important things that keep your online presence working.
For a small business, your website needs to do more than look good. It needs to be working, secure, up to date, legally compliant and visible to the people looking for your business. And you shouldn’t have to worry about any of it.
At PrePress, we design and build professional WordPress websites for small businesses, SMEs, start-ups and owner-managed businesses — and then we continue to look after them.
For one straightforward cost, we take care of the website and the things around it that many small businesses simply don’t have the time or expertise to deal with.
You run your business. We look after your online presence.
Everything taken care of We believe a website shouldn’t become another job for the business owner. That’s why our service goes considerably further than simply designing and building a website.
We can take care of:
- Website design and development
- WordPress and plugin updates
- Website security
- Website backups
- Website hosting
- Business email
- Website content updates
- Local SEO
- Search engine optimisation
- Website performance
- Privacy policy
- Cookie policy
- Accessibility considerations
- Ongoing technical support
- Regular website reviews
And importantly, we don’t just build it and leave you to it.
Your website stays up to date
Businesses change. Services change. Contact details change. Images become outdated. New information needs adding. Search engines change the way they work.
We include four website updates every year as part of the service. That means your website doesn’t gradually become forgotten and outdated. We’ll review it, make the agreed updates and keep it moving in the right direction.
We help your business get found locally
Having a website is one thing. Having a website that potential customers can actually find is another. We work on the foundations that help your website perform in local search, so that when people are looking for the products or services you provide in your area, your business has the best possible opportunity of being found.
Local search, website structure, content, technical SEO and ongoing optimisation all form part of our approach.
We don’t simply put your website online. We help keep it visible.
We look after your email too
Your website and business email are often closely connected, but email is another area that can cause headaches for small businesses.
We can help look after your business email and the technical side behind it, so you don’t have to worry about whether everything is configured correctly or what happens when something changes.
One point of contact. One company looking after the important parts of your online presence.
We help keep your website legally compliant
There is more to a website than design and technology. Your website may need appropriate information about privacy, cookies and how personal data is handled. As part of our service, we can prepare and maintain your Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, helping ensure that the necessary information is clearly presented on your website.
We also keep an eye on the wider requirements affecting your website and will flag anything that needs attention.
We are not lawyers, and our policies are not a substitute for legal advice, but we make sure the important basics aren’t simply forgotten and are included in the costs.
And if something goes wrong?
This is probably the most important part. If your website stops working, something suddenly looks wrong, an update causes a problem or you simply don’t know what you’re supposed to do next, you have someone to call.
You don’t need to search Google for an answer. You don’t need to become a WordPress expert. You don’t need to understand plugins, hosting, DNS, PHP, SSL certificates or SEO. That’s our job.
You just need to know who to call.
Built on experience
PrePress has been working with businesses and their visual communications since 1989. We started in professional digital prepress and reprographics, working with designers, publishers and businesses long before the web became an essential part of business. That experience has given us a deep understanding of design, typography, imagery, colour, branding, marketing and communication.
Today, we apply that experience to websites. So although we use modern WordPress technology, our approach isn’t simply technical.
We understand how a business needs to present itself.
Ideal for small businesses
Our service is particularly suited to businesses that don’t have their own IT or marketing department. If you’re a:
One-person business
You probably don’t have time to deal with your website. We can take care of it.
Small business
You need a professional online presence without employing someone to manage it.
Start-up
You need to get online properly without spending your time learning how websites work.
Established SME
Your existing website may need bringing up to date and then properly maintained.
Business owner who simply doesn’t want the hassle
That’s probably our favourite description.
One cost. One company. One less thing to worry about.
We don’t want you having to deal with five different companies for your website, hosting, email, updates, SEO and technical support.
Our aim is simple: Get your website up and running. Keep it working. Keep it updated. Help it get found. And be there when you need us. All as part of one straightforward service. Your website is our responsibility.
We keep on looking after your website long after it has finished — it’s our baby.
Let’s get your website working for your business
If you need a new website, your existing website needs some attention, or you’re simply tired of having to deal with it yourself, talk to PrePress.
We’ll look at what you have, what you need and what could be improved. No jargon. No unnecessary complications. No passing you from department to department. Just experienced people who will look after your website and help keep your online presence working for your business.
One annual fee. And we work hard for that money
There are two ways of building and looking after a website: the right way and the cheap way. We know there are companies offering websites for £250 or less. If that’s all you need, there will always be someone prepared to build one for you. That’s not how we work.
Every business is different, and every website has different requirements. A simple website for a one-person business is very different from a website for an established SME, a service business or an online shop. We don’t believe in squeezing every business into the same package just to hit a price point.
Instead, we look at what your business actually needs and build a website around it. We then continue to look after it, keep it updated, help it perform in local search and deal with the technical details that you shouldn’t have to worry about.
Our service is based around one straightforward annual fee, covering the ongoing work and support your website needs. And we work hard to make sure you feel you’re getting good value for that money.
We want you to be completely happy with what we do. If something isn’t right, we’ll listen, explain what needs doing and put it right.
Our prices are reasonable, fair and transparent. We’re not trying to be the cheapest web designer.
