Web Design by Matt: A Web Designer Serving Service Businesses Near Bakewell
Quick Summary
Web Design by Matt is a one-person web design and digital marketing business based at 32 Porteous Cl, Two Dales, Matlock DE4 2EN, in the Derbyshire Dales near Bakewell. I build complete online marketing systems for service businesses and tradespeople who need enquiries and bookings. That means web design, local SEO, hosting and ongoing support, all handled by me.
If your website looks dated, brings in very few enquiries, or you don’t have one at all, you’ll know the pressure that puts on finding work. I’ve felt that pressure myself. I’m Matt, and Web Design by Matt is my business. If you’re looking for a web designer near Haddon Hall in Bakewell, you should know exactly where I am. I’m based in Two Dales, Matlock, not Bakewell itself, though both sit within the Derbyshire Dales. I work with service businesses and tradespeople who need a website that brings in enquiries and bookings. I won’t promise rankings or results nobody can guarantee. What I do offer is a clear process, plain advice and someone to call when you need help.
This is a one-person business. There’s no account manager passing your messages along. When you work with me, you deal with me. Before I started Web Design by Matt, I spent 7 years marketing my own service business. I grew it through web design, SEO and digital marketing, and I learned first-hand what brings the phone to life and what just costs money.
My main work is as a Web Designer. I also cover the jobs that sit around a website: marketing agency work, copywriting, web hosting and internet marketing. In plain terms, I can design your site, write the words on it, host it, keep it secure, help you show up in local searches and run your email marketing. You don’t have to juggle three or four different suppliers to get it all done.
What I build are online marketing systems. A website is one part of that. Around it I can set up lead capture, which is how your site collects names and contact details from people who are interested. I can add a CRM, which is simply a tidy place to keep track of your enquiries and customers. Then there are automations, such as follow-up emails that go out without you having to remember, and booking tools so customers can arrange an appointment. Put together, that's a complete client system aimed at predictable leads and consistent growth.
Every site I build is conversion-focused, meaning it's laid out to turn visitors into enquiries. It's mobile-optimised, so it works properly on a phone, and SEO-ready from the start. I follow a five-step process I call the Service Business Blueprint, which I'll walk through in the next section.
I work with service business owners. That might be a plumber, electrician or roofer, a physiotherapist or counsellor, or an accountant or consultant. What matters is that you sell a service and need people to get in touch or book.
I'm also honest about what I don't do. I don't build simple brochure websites, ecommerce sites or app-based websites. I work best with people who want a long-term partner to look after their website and marketing, rather than a one-off job they'll manage themselves. I'll explain more about who I suit, and who I don't, below.

How the Service Business Blueprint Works and Who It Suits
- 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.
- For being found locally, I cover Local SEO, Google Business Profile Optimisation, Google Business Profile Management, Local SEO Audits, SEO Website Audits and Local SEO Campaign Management. I also write the words on your pages through SEO Copywriting and Conversion Focused Copywriting.Then there's the behind-the-scenes work. I provide Managed Website Hosting, WordPress Hosting, WordPress Updates, Website Security Monitoring, Malware Removal and Website Backup Management. These are the jobs that keep your site online and safe while you get on with running your business.Finally, there's marketing beyond the website itself. That covers Email Marketing Setup, Email Marketing Campaign Management, Email Marketing Automation, Email Newsletter Management, Lead Nurture Email Sequences and Customer Retention Email Marketing. It also covers Lead Generation Strategy, Conversion Rate Optimisation, Digital Marketing Strategy and Marketing Funnel Development. Put together, these are the online marketing systems that help a service business work towards predictable leads and consistent growth.So who is this for? I work with service businesses and tradespeople who need enquiries and bookings. Think plumbers, electricians, builders, therapists, physiotherapists, accountants or coaches. I work best with people who want a long-term partner to handle their website and marketing.I'm also clear about who I'm not right for. I don't build simple brochure websites, ecommerce sites or app-based websites. If you sell products online, I'm not the person you need. If you want a one-off job you'll manage yourself afterwards, I'm probably not the right fit either. I'd rather say so at the start.I also won'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. I'll advise you, advocate for your business and support your digital marketing for the long term. If something isn't working, I'll tell you and put it right.For peace of mind, I bring 7 years' experience marketing my own service-based business. I'm a member of Derbyshire Dales Trusted Trader, an independent scheme that vets local businesses for quality and reliability. I'm also a member of the East Midlands Chamber of Commerce. I hold £2 million public liability and £1 million professional indemnity insurance.
