Service Area
Do you work with businesses outside of Yeovil?
Yes! While we're based in Yeovil, Somerset, we work with businesses throughout the UK. We serve local clients across Somerset and Dorset, but also help businesses nationwide through video calls and remote collaboration. Our local focus gives us insight into the South West market, but our expertise extends much further.
Pricing
How much does a website cost?
Our website service has two parts: First, we build your professional website for £795 ex VAT (one-time cost). This includes everything you need for a stunning online presence. Then, you can choose from our ongoing support options: Basic Hosting at £25/month + VAT for essential maintenance, or our Continuous Growth package at £250/month + VAT for comprehensive support, security, updates, and optimisation. This flexible approach lets you choose the level of support that fits your business needs.
How much does a website cost in Somerset?
For Somerset businesses, our website costs are transparent and competitive: £795 ex VAT for professional website design and development, plus your choice of ongoing support - Basic Hosting at £25/month + VAT or Continuous Growth at £250/month + VAT. This pricing is the same whether you're in Yeovil, Taunton, Bridgwater, or anywhere across Somerset. We understand the local market and provide exceptional value for Somerset businesses wanting a professional online presence. Unlike some London agencies charging £3000+, we offer premium quality at fair prices that work for local businesses.
Timeline
How long does it take to build a website?
Most websites take 1-2 weeks to build once you provide us with the content and artwork we request. This fast turnaround is possible because we have a streamlined process and know exactly what we need from you upfront. If content creation is needed, or for more complex e-commerce sites, timelines may extend to 3-4 weeks. We'll give you a clear timeline and content requirements list during your initial consultation.
Maintenance
Do you provide ongoing website maintenance?
Absolutely! We believe in long-term partnerships and offer two ongoing support options: Basic Hosting at £25/month + VAT covers essential hosting, security, and basic maintenance. For comprehensive support, our Continuous Growth package at £250/month + VAT includes hosting, security updates, content updates, performance monitoring, backup management, technical support, and continuous optimisation. This ensures your website stays secure, fast, and up-to-date while continuously improving your online results.
SEO
Can you help improve my existing website's SEO?
Yes, we specialise in SEO for Somerset and Dorset businesses. We can audit your current website, identify improvement opportunities, and implement local SEO strategies to help you rank higher in Google. Our SEO services include keyword research, on-page optimisation, local SEO, and ongoing monitoring.
Small Business
Do you work with small businesses in Somerset?
Definitely! We love working with small and medium businesses across Somerset, Dorset, and the South West. Many of our clients are local shops, restaurants, tradespeople, professional services, and growing businesses. We understand the local market and create websites that connect with your community.
Services
What's included in your web design service?
Our complete service includes strategy consultation, custom design, professional development, content creation assistance, SEO optimisation, mobile responsiveness, security setup, performance optimisation, training, and launch support. We handle everything so you can focus on running your business.
What's the difference between web design and web development?
Web design focuses on the visual appearance, user experience, and layout of your website - the creative and aesthetic elements that users see and interact with. Web development is the technical coding that makes the design functional, including programming, databases, and behind-the-scenes functionality. At Saunders Simmons, we handle both web design and web development as part of our complete service, so you get a beautiful website that works perfectly. Many agencies specialise in just one area, but we provide the full package for Somerset businesses.
Redesign
Can you redesign my outdated website?
Absolutely! We specialise in website redesigns for Yeovil and Somerset businesses. We'll modernise your design, improve user experience, enhance mobile performance, boost SEO, and ensure your site reflects your current brand. We can often migrate your existing content and improve upon it.
E-commerce
Do you build e-commerce websites?
Yes, we create professional e-commerce solutions for businesses wanting to sell online. We work with platforms like Shopify, WooCommerce, and custom solutions. Our e-commerce sites include payment processing, inventory management, order fulfillment, and marketing tools to help you grow your online sales.
