The Process

A Quick Call
We’ll arrange a quick 10-minute call to let us learn more about your business (such as what you do and the areas you serve). We’ll also ask for any photos and logos you might already have.

We Get Started
After learning what you’re after, we begin the design process using our own development site. You’ll be able to check in and see what you think as we go. You’ll also get each page sent for approval.

Signing Off
When we think we’re done, you’ll get the chance to look over your whole site and check you’re happy with it. We’ll also get our team to check everything is working as it should be!

Site Goes Live
We’ll manage the whole process of getting your site onto your address of choosing and get it live. We’ll also make sure it is submitted to Google so it can begin climbing the ranks!

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose a Shake & Speare website?
We understand both what you need to get from your website and what your potential customers are looking for.
Our sites are simple to use, easy to keep updated and act as the perfect window into your business. In fact, they’re so straight forward to use that we’ll train you on how to update it yourself if you’d prefer!
And seeing as our 1 page websites don’t cost you anything at all… well it’s worth seeing what we can do!
Why do I need to bother with SEO?
We’ve clarified this in a few recent blog posts. SEO is important if you’re genuinely looking to grow your online presence and if you want your business to rank for your services in your area. Without it, your site is unlikely to climb that high on Google, let alone page 1.
That said, every site that we deliver has the foundations of SEO included, so you’ll have the best possible start.
How do I know I’ll like my website?
We always ask you to provide us with as many sites that you already like the look of as possible, that means we’re already singing from the same hymn sheet before we even start designing.
We then send you over a draft homepage to see what you think before launching into the rest of the design. It’s a little more work than just using a template, but it means that your website is truly unique.
What will my website include?
The features in your website are entirely up to you. You might want some pricing calculators to allow instant estimates if you’re a decorator for example. Or, if you work with boilers, you could opt to have TrueQuote boiler software installed on your site. That means you customers get prices for installs before even having to pick up the phone.
Every site includes clickable phone numbers, email addresses and a contact form. Galleries tend to come as standard too, if appropriate for your trade.
You’ll also get an SEO plugin, Google Analytics and a security plugin called WordFence to protect your site from hackers.
How much are your websites?
They start from completely free, that’s for our one pagers, they’ll get your foot in the online door.
The majority of trades we work with choose the 5 page development sites that would cost £750 with standard features.
Those in a position to really accelerate their online world and grow their business can choose the full 10+ page professional websites, these start from £1000 and scale from there.
We always suggest you contact us for a full proposal.
Who builds my website?
We do it ourselves! None of this automated template rubbish. Our in house team builds it, usually Grant and Grey get together and work on the sites together, so you can expect to talk to both of us during the process.
