Dean Vinyard. Web design, systems and SEO. Ipswich, Suffolk

Being online is not the same as being found.

I build websites for small businesses in Ipswich, Suffolk and across the UK, structured so search engines and AI assistants can actually read them, then wire up the CRM and automation that handles every enquiry that comes in.

Recent builds: a chimney sweep in Suffolk, a pub garden in Surrey, a photo booth in Cornwall. All built by one person, all live within a month.

Web design

Websites that bring in work, not just look nice.

Designed around your business, built by me and live in about three weeks. One fixed price, agreed before anything starts. That’s web design in Ipswich, done properly.

Designed for your customers

Clear words, real photos and one obvious next step on every page.

Fast on a phone

Most visitors are on a phone, often on a weak signal. It's built for that first.

Built to be found

Structured so Google and AI assistants can read what you do and where.

Every enquiry handled

Forms, calls and WhatsApp messages land in a CRM that follows up for you.

How a build works

Three weeks, one price, and you see it as it happens.

  1. 1
    Day 1

    Message me

    Tell me what the business does and what you want the site to do. You'll have a fixed price back within a day, usually the same one.

  2. 2
    Week 1

    Half up front, and we start

    Deposit paid, build starts. If there's no logo yet, that's the first thing you get. Then the domain, the email, the CRM behind the scenes.

  3. 3
    Weeks 1 to 3

    You watch it come together

    A preview link from early on, not a big reveal at the end. Change your mind about anything while it's still cheap to change.

  4. 4
    Week 3

    Live, then found

    Balance paid, site goes live. Then search setup: business profile, sitemap, the local pages. Then a handover where everything is put in your name.

Everything stays yours

Most people who come to me have been held hostage by someone who owned their domain or their listing. So this is written down, not implied.

  • Your domain is registered to you, not to me
  • Your Google Business Profile is yours, I'm just a manager on it
  • Your contacts export any time, no asking
  • No minimum term. Thirty days' notice ends any monthly plan

SEO and AI search

A site nobody finds is a brochure in a drawer.

Three places customers look before they ring anyone: Google, the map results and AI assistants like ChatGPT. I get you into all three, then keep you there. That’s SEO in Ipswich, done properly.

01

Search

Structured so search engines can read every page, with the right words on the right pages for the areas you cover.

Sitemaps, page titles, local landing pages, speed, the technical bits nobody sees.

02

AI answers

People now ask ChatGPT and Google's AI who to call. Sites built the right way get cited. Most don't.

Clear structure, plain answers on the page, schema markup that tells AI what you are.

03

Google Business Profile

The map listing is the first thing most local customers see, and most businesses never touch it after setup.

Kept current, reviews requested and answered, posts, photos, the categories that actually match.

AI answers checked

Whether ChatGPT and Google's AI name you, and who they name instead.

Google listing looked after

Posts, photos and review replies kept current.

Directory listings

Your details on 25 trusted UK directories, all matching.

Links from local sites

Outreach to local sites that link to your competitors but not you.

    He instantly understood what we needed even though we are printers and that's not his background. With a few quick chats along the way and tweaks, he built something simple for our customers to use which saves time for both our customers and ourselves.

    Dean solved some fiddly automation issues I was having that are going to help me get so much more out of my CRM. And he worked through the weekend to get it done too!

Systems, apps and automation

Websites are the easy part.

Most web designers stop at the site. I build the thing behind it: the CRM, the booking system, the automation, the database. Custom software and business systems for small businesses, and every example here is live.

Every table booking from the website on one iPad screen behind the bar.

  • Staff block out a period for an event and it vanishes from the website instantly
  • Inside and garden calendars kept in sync with no double bookings

Bespoke case management CRM

A collections system built around how the agency actually works: every case, contact and payment history in one place, not a generic CRM bent to fit.

  • Reporting across the whole book, not one case at a time
  • Bulk actions: hundreds of cases updated or chased in one go

About Dean

One person. That’s the point.

I’m Dean Vinyard. I run GrowthMatix from Ipswich, and I build websites, CRM systems and automation for small businesses that want the enquiries handled, not just a site that looks tidy.

No account manager, no ticket queue. The person who quotes the job builds the job, and answers the WhatsApp afterwards. That means I only take on the work I can do properly, and it means you always know who you’re talking to.

When I’m not building, I sing. Soul, mostly, in a band and on my own. It has nothing to do with websites, except that it’s taught me a room can tell in ten seconds whether you mean it.
