Web design, Ipswich
Web design in Ipswich for small businesses
Web design in Ipswich by one person, not an agency. Fixed price, found on Google, the map and AI answers, most live in three weeks.
I’m Dean, based at Basepoint in Ipswich. I design and build websites for Ipswich businesses myself, from first message to handover, so you deal with one person the whole way.
Most of the businesses that come to me have a website that looks fine but doesn’t bring anything in. The usual reasons are the same: search engines can’t read it properly, the Google Business Profile was never finished, and enquiries land in an inbox nobody checks. I fix all three as part of the build.
One fixed price, agreed before anything starts. Half up front, the rest when the site goes live. Most builds are live within three weeks, and everything is in your name from day one, the domain, the listing and the contacts.
What you get
What’s included
- Design and build, mobile first, fast on a phone signal
- Domain registration and business email set up in your name
- Enquiry forms, call and WhatsApp buttons, wired to a CRM that follows up
- Google Business Profile, sitemap and the technical search setup
- A preview link from week one so nothing is a surprise
- One training session and a handover with everything in your name
Built to be found in Ipswich
A site that nobody finds is a brochure in a drawer. So every Ipswich site I build is set up to show up in the places people actually look.
- Page titles and service pages written for what Ipswich customers actually search for
- Area pages for the places you cover, like Kesgrave, Felixstowe, Woodbridge, Stowmarket, Needham Market and Hadleigh
- Google Business Profile set up properly, with the right categories and service areas
- Schema markup so search engines and AI assistants can read what you do
- Fast on a phone, where most of your visitors are
- Checked for whether ChatGPT and Google's AI answers mention you

How a build works
Three weeks, one price, and you see it as it happens.
- 1Day 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.
- 2Week 1
Half up front, and I 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.
- 3Weeks 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.
- 4Week 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
After it’s live
Once the site is live, the care plans keep it secure, up to date and improving. They start from £97 a month with no minimum term, and the higher plans add ongoing SEO and Google Business Profile work. If search is where you want help, here’s more on SEO in Ipswich.

Most small business websites I build are between £745 and £1,595, agreed as one fixed price before anything starts, and you'll have an exact figure within a day of telling me what the business does.
Most builds are live within three weeks of the deposit being paid, and you see the site on a preview link from the first few days so nothing is a surprise at the end.
No, most of the work happens over WhatsApp, email and a preview link you can check on your phone, so you never need to come to me.
It's built to be found, with the search setup done as part of the build, and the care plans keep it improving after that, though I don't promise specific positions.
No, I work across Suffolk and the rest of the UK, and there’s a page on web design across Suffolk with more on the towns I cover.
