Web Design by Matt: Website Design and Digital Marketing for Service Businesses

Quick Summary

Web Design by Matt is a one-person web design and digital marketing business for service businesses and tradespeople. It is run by me, Matt, from 32 Porteous Cl, Two Dales, Matlock DE4 2EN. If you are a service business owner near St Peter's Church, Edensor, I build WordPress websites and bring local SEO, hosting and ongoing support together into one system.

Plenty of service business owners have a website that sits there and does nothing. The phone doesn’t ring any more often because of it, and nobody is looking after it. I know that feeling because I’ve been there myself.

I’m Matt, and I run Web Design by Matt from 32 Porteous Cl, Two Dales, Matlock DE4 2EN, serving service businesses near Edensor. This page explains what I do and how I work. My clients are service businesses and tradespeople who need enquiries and bookings. I’m talking about plumbers, electricians, joiners, therapists, physios and accountants. I build online marketing systems designed to bring in predictable leads. I also stay around after launch to keep everything running.

A website on its own rarely solves the real problem. You can have a smart-looking site that nobody finds, or one that people find but never contact you through. So I build complete online marketing systems. The website is the centre of it, and local SEO, hosting and support all sit around it. Everything is built to work together, and one person looks after the lot. That person is me.

  • Web design and SEO Matlock

    I didn't start out in web design. Before I launched Web Design by Matt, I had 7 years' experience marketing a service-based business. I spent those years growing my own service business through web design, SEO and digital marketing, and I learned first-hand what brings in work and what wastes money. That experience shapes everything I do now. I understand the pressure of finding the next customer, because I've had to do it myself.

    Over time, I turned what worked into a clear process I call the Service Business Blueprint. It takes you from the first conversation through to launch and ongoing support. The aim is to give you digital marketing without the stress, with someone you can call when you need help.

The Service Business Blueprint: How Matt Builds and Supports Your Website

I follow the same process with every client. I call it the Service Business Blueprint. It has five phases and they always run in the same order, so you know what is happening and what comes next. There is zero guesswork on your side.
  • Phase 1: Understanding. I start with a discovery call to learn about your business, your customers and your goals.
  • Phase 2, Strategising: I map out your site structure, keywords and local SEO plan. Keywords are simply the words people type when they're looking for a service like yours.
  • Phase 3, Building: I design and build your WordPress site around your services and customers.
  • Phase 4, Perfecting: I test, optimise and fine-tune for speed, mobile and search, so the site is mobile-optimised and SEO-ready before anyone sees it.
  • Phase 5, Launch and Support: I handle the launch, then keep your site hosted, secure and improving.
That last phase is the big difference from a one-off web design job. A one-off job finishes the day the site goes live. With me, launch is where the long-term work starts. Your site stays hosted, kept secure and improved over time, and you have one person to call when you need something.

Web design and SEO Matlock
  • Before I started Web Design by Matt, I spent years growing my own service business through web design, SEO and digital marketing. So I bring a tradesperson's view and a marketer's know-how to the same job. I know what it is like to need the phone to ring.
    That is why I build complete systems rather than a website on its own. A complete client system can include the website, lead capture, a CRM, automations and booking. In plain English, lead capture means the forms that collect an enquiry's details. A CRM is a simple place to keep track of your enquiries and customers. Automations are the follow-up messages that send themselves, so fewer enquiries slip through the cracks. Everything is conversion-focused, which means built to turn visitors into enquiries and bookings.
    This suits service businesses and tradespeople who need enquiries and bookings. Think of an electrician who wants more quote requests, or a counsellor who wants new clients booking sessions. If that sounds like you, the Blueprint was made for your kind of business.
    I'll be honest about what I don't do. I don't build simple brochure websites, ecommerce sites or app-based websites. I focus on service businesses, not online shops or product sales. I also work best with people who want a long-term partner to handle their website and marketing, rather than a one-off job they will manage themselves. If you would rather build and run everything yourself, I'm probably not the right fit, and I'll say so.
    This is a personal service, not an agency. It is just me, and I look after the work myself. That is how I aim to offer digital marketing without the stress.
    I don't make promises about rankings or results that nobody can guarantee. What I do promise is that I'll be there when you need me: advising, advocating for your business, and supporting your digital marketing for the long term. If something isn't working, I'll tell you and put it right.

Credentials, Contact Details and Booking a Consultation

When you hand your website and marketing to someone, you are trusting them with the part of your business that brings in work. I understand that. When I ran my own service business, I wanted to know who I was dealing with before I let anyone near my enquiries. So here are the plain facts about me.
I am a member of Derbyshire Dales Trusted Trader. This is an independent scheme that vets local businesses for quality and reliability. I am also a member of the East Midlands Chamber of Commerce.
I carry £2 Million Public Liability insurance and £1 Million Professional Indemnity insurance. Professional indemnity is the cover that applies to the professional work I do for clients. I hold both because it is the right way to run a business. You would expect the same from a builder or an electrician working on your property. Your website deserves the same care.
None of this changes what I said earlier about results. I won't promise rankings or results that nobody can guarantee. What I can tell you is who I am, how I work, and that I will be there when you need me. If something isn't working, I will tell you and put it right.
Because this is a one-person business, the person you speak to is the person who does the work. There is no account manager passing messages along and no handing you between departments. You get one person who knows your business, your customers and your goals, and who builds your online marketing systems around them.
