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 run by me, Matt, from my base in Two Dales, Matlock. I build websites and complete online marketing systems for service businesses and tradespeople who need enquiries and bookings. If you're a service business owner near Minninglow in Ballidon and your website is outdated, underperforming or missing altogether, this page explains what I do and whether I'm the right fit.
If you’re searching for a web designer near Minninglow in Ballidon, I’ll start with where I am. Web Design by Matt is based in Two Dales, Matlock, and I cover the surrounding area. I’m Matt, and I run the business on my own. Before I started it, I spent years growing my own service business through web design, SEO and digital marketing. That gave me 7 years’ experience marketing a service-based business, learnt first-hand. I understand the pressure of finding customers while you’re also busy doing the work. I now build websites and online marketing systems for service businesses that want more enquiries, less stress and someone reliable to call. If your current site is letting you down, or you don’t have one yet, read on.
I focus on service business owners and tradespeople who feel their current website is outdated, underperforming or nonexistent. That could be a plumber, an electrician, a builder or a roofer. It could just as easily be a therapist, a physiotherapist, an accountant or a coach. What these businesses have in common is that they sell their time and skill. They need people to get in touch or book in.
I’ll be honest about what I don’t do as well. I don’t build simple brochure websites, ecommerce sites or app-based websites. I focus on service businesses that need enquiries and bookings, not online shops or product sales. If you’re selling products online, I’m not the right person for the job, and I’d rather tell you that now.
On the website side, I offer Website Design, Small Business Website Design, WordPress Website Design and Service Business Website Design. For businesses with a site that’s no longer pulling its weight, I also provide Website Redesign, Lead Generation Website Design and Conversion-Focused Website Design. After launch, Website Maintenance keeps everything secure, up to date and running smoothly.
A website on its own only goes so far. That's why I build complete online marketing systems. Alongside the site, a system can include lead capture, a CRM, automations and booking. Lead capture means the forms and prompts that turn a visitor into an enquiry. A CRM is a place to keep track of your enquiries and customers so nothing slips through the cracks. Automations take care of routine follow-ups. Booking lets customers pick a time themselves.
My website builds are conversion-focused. In plain English, that means they're designed to turn visitors into enquiries. They're also mobile-optimised, so they work properly when someone looks you up on their phone. The aim is predictable leads and consistent growth for your business. A site that looks nice but brings in nothing isn't much use to anyone.
All of this follows a process I call the Service Business Blueprint. It's how I take a service business from a first conversation to a working website and beyond. I explain each step in the next section, so you know exactly what working with me involves.

The Service Business Blueprint: How Matt Builds and Supports a Website
- 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 in when they look 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.
- Phase 5, Launch and Support: I handle the launch, then keep your site hosted, secure and improving.
- A couple of terms in plain English. Keywords are the words people type when they look for a service like yours. Site structure is simply how your pages are organised, so visitors and search engines can find what they need. WordPress is the software your site runs on behind the scenes. Every site I build uses it. By the end of Phase 4, the aim is a site that is conversion-focused, mobile-optimised and SEO-ready. In other words, it should load properly, work on a phone and make it easy for people to get in touch.The website is only one part of it. Around it, I can handle Local SEO, Google Business Profile Optimisation and Google Business Profile Management, plus a Local SEO Audit, an SEO Website Audit and ongoing Local SEO Campaign Management. I write SEO Copywriting and Conversion Focused Copywriting, so the words on your pages do their share of the work. I also run Email Marketing Campaign Management, Email Marketing Automation and Lead Nurture Email Sequences. Lead nurture just means staying in touch with people who enquired but weren't ready to book yet. Pulling it together, I offer Lead Generation Strategy, Conversion Rate Optimisation, Digital Marketing Strategy and Marketing Funnel Development. That's how lead capture, a CRM and automations end up working together as one complete client system rather than a pile of separate tools.That's also why fit matters. 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'll manage themselves. If you'd rather build and run everything yourself, I'm probably not the right fit, and I'll say so.What I'm working towards with every client is predictable leads and consistent growth. I won't dress that up as a guarantee. What you get is a clear process, someone who has been in your shoes, and digital marketing without the stress of doing it all yourself.
Hosting, Ongoing Support, Credentials and How to Get in Touch
- Managed Website Hosting: your site lives on a server I look after, so you don't have to deal with the technical side.
- WordPress Hosting: hosting set up for the WordPress sites I build.
- WordPress Updates: WordPress and its add-ons need updating. I handle those updates for you.
- Website Security Monitoring: I keep watch over your site's security.
- Malware Removal: malware is harmful code that can get into a website. If it does, I remove it.
- Website Backup Management: I manage copies of your site, so there's something to restore if things go wrong.
