One of the first steps to take when you startup a new small business is thinking of your online marketing strategy.  A presence on the internet is invaluable whether you are selling your product or service locally or nationally.  An attractive, effective website with a handful of intelligently placed keywords can save you a fortune compared to offline advertising.

User Friendly Web Design specialises in designing websites for small startup businesses.  We know how important it is for a small business to keep costs down and plan ahead.  This is why DIY makes sense.  Content Management Systems (CMS) are websites which you can manage yourself so there's no delay in waiting for someone else to do it for you and of course no cost when you want to make changes to your website.

Websites produced by User Friendly Web Design are easy peasy for even the least technically savvy person to update.  With every site we produce we offer free training and an instruction manual so you can make changes whenever you like.

Our pricing structure is simple and there are no hidden charges.  There is a one off payment and then nothing more; no monthly charges.  If you elect to buy your own domain address (which will give you email addresses too) you normally pay (around £60) to renew ownership every two years.

User Friendly Web Design saves you time and money leaving you to concentrate on making a success of your business.

I have been building websites using Weebly.com for nearly a year now and out of all the template based web design options I find it by far the most user friendly.

There are a whole range of ready made design options to choose from and the simple drag and drop elements make page layout a breeze.

An attractive, easy to navigate design is only the start when it comes to effective web design.  Copy writing for the web is a skill which I have developed over several years of editing and publishing website content.  Then comes the crucial part; SEO (search engine optimisation) making sure that your words attract exactly the right readers.  Finally, getting the word out there, Social Networking is all important today.  Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Youtube all build up your online profile bringing visitors to your web site.

I have recently added Weebly training to my services, so if you want to learn how to effectively design and manage your own Weebly website I can help you.
