Web Design by Matt: Complete Online Marketing Systems for Service Businesses Near Bakewell

Quick Summary

Web Design by Matt is a one-person web design and digital marketing business run by me, Matt, from 32 Porteous Cl, Two Dales, Matlock DE4 2EN, near Bakewell. I build complete online marketing systems for service businesses and tradespeople, combining web design, local SEO, hosting and support. The aim is to help you generate predictable leads and grow your revenue.

A website should bring in work. If yours is out of date, sits there doing nothing, or you haven’t got one at all, that’s the problem I work on. I’m Matt, and I run Web Design by Matt on my own. If you’ve been looking for a web designer near Chatsworth House in Bakewell, here is where I am. My address is 32 Porteous Cl, Two Dales, Matlock DE4 2EN, in the Derbyshire Dales, near Bakewell. I build online marketing systems for service businesses and tradespeople. That means a website plus the parts that help turn visitors into enquiries: lead capture, a CRM, automations and booking. Before I started this business, I spent years growing my own service business through web design, SEO and digital marketing. I know the pressure of finding the next customer.

Most service business owners don’t need a pretty page that nobody finds. They need a steady flow of enquiries and less time chasing them. So I build complete client systems. The website is one part. Around it sit the pieces that do the work of capturing and handling enquiries.

In plain English, lead capture means giving visitors an easy way to get in touch or leave their details. A CRM is one place to keep track of your enquiries and customers, so nothing slips through the cracks. Automations are tasks that run on their own once they’re set up. Booking lets people arrange an appointment without phoning you mid-job. Put together with local SEO, hosting and ongoing support, you get a complete client system that I look after with you.

My main category is Web Designer, but the work covers more ground than that. My business is also listed under these categories:

  • Marketing agency: local SEO and Google Business Profile work
  • Copywriting service: SEO copywriting and conversion focused copywriting
  • Web hosting company: managed hosting, WordPress hosting, updates, security and backups
  • Internet marketing service: email marketing, lead generation strategy and digital marketing strategy
  • Web design and SEO Matlock

    What that means for you is simple. The person who builds your site is the same person who writes the words, keeps it hosted and handles the marketing side. You have one person to call.

  • Web design and SEO Matlock

    I have 7 years' experience marketing a service-based business. I didn't come into this from a design studio. I came from running a service business myself and learning first-hand what brought in enquiries and what didn't. I combine that tradesperson background with marketing know-how, and I use it only for service businesses.

  • Web design and SEO Matlock

    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.

    Further down this page I explain exactly how I build and support a site, who I'm the right fit for, and how to get in touch.

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

I work to a set process I call the Service Business Blueprint. It has five phases, always in the same order. You'll know where we are and what comes next, so there's 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.
A few of those terms need a plain English explanation. Site structure is which pages your site has and how they connect. Keywords are the words people use when they look for the service you offer. A local SEO plan is how I help your business get found by people in your area. WordPress is the system your site is built on.

By the end of Phase 4, the aim is a site that's mobile-optimised, SEO-ready and conversion-focused. Conversion-focused means it's built to turn visitors into enquiries and bookings. The point of the whole process is to give you a better shot at predictable leads and consistent growth, rather than a site that looks fine and sits there.

Web design and SEO Matlock
  • I'm not the right fit for everyone, and I'd rather say so now. I focus on service businesses that need enquiries and bookings. That could be a therapist, a plumber, a physio or another local service provider. I don't build online shops or sites for product sales. I don't build simple brochure websites, ecommerce sites or app-based websites either.
    I also work best with people who want a long-term partner to handle their website and marketing. If you want a one-off job you'll manage yourself afterwards, or you'd rather build and run everything on your own, I'm probably not the right person. I'll tell you that.
    Then there's the question of results. I don't make promises about rankings or results that nobody can guarantee. When I ran my own service business, I'd have wanted someone to be straight with me about that. 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.
    On the web design side, my services are Website Design, Small Business Website Design, WordPress Website Design, Service Business Website Design, Website Redesign, Lead Generation Website Design, Conversion-Focused Website Design and Website Maintenance.
    For helping people find you, I offer Local SEO, Google Business Profile Optimisation, Google Business Profile Management, Local SEO Audit, SEO Website Audit and Local SEO Campaign Management.
    I also write the words on the page. I offer SEO Copywriting and Conversion Focused Copywriting. Good copy explains what you do clearly and gives the reader a reason to pick up the phone. It also needs to make sense to the people searching for your service.

Hosting, Ongoing Support and How to Reach Web Design by Matt

Launch day isn't the end of the job. A website needs looking after, the same way a van needs servicing. Here's what I offer once your site is live.
  • Managed Website Hosting and WordPress Hosting. Hosting is the space on the internet where your site lives. I manage it, so you don't have to deal with it.
  • WordPress Updates. WordPress and its add-ons need regular updates to keep working properly.
  • Website Security Monitoring. I keep an eye on your site for problems.
  • Malware Removal. Malware is harmful code that can get into a website. If it happens, I clean it out.
  • Website Backup Management. Backups are saved copies of your site, so it can be restored if something goes wrong.
The idea is simple. You get on with your work, and you have someone to call if something on the website breaks or looks wrong. That's what I mean by digital marketing without the stress.
I also offer email and marketing services for service businesses that want to make more of the enquiries they already get. These are Email Marketing Setup, Email Marketing Campaign Management, Email Marketing Automation, Email Newsletter Management, Lead Nurture Email Sequences and Customer Retention Email Marketing. A lead nurture sequence is a short series of emails that keeps in touch with someone who has enquired but hasn't booked yet. Customer retention emails help you stay in touch with people who've already used you.
On the planning side, I offer Lead Generation Strategy, Digital Marketing Strategy, Marketing Funnel Development and Conversion Rate Optimisation. In plain English, that means working out how people find you, what they do on your site, and what changes could help more of them get in touch. These pieces sit alongside lead capture, so enquiries that come in through your site aren't left to go cold.
You'll want to know who you're dealing with. I carry £2 Million Public Liability and £1 Million Professional Indemnity cover. I'm a member of Derbyshire Trusted Trader, a scheme run by Derbyshire County Council's trading standards service that vets local businesses for quality and reliability. I'm also a member of the East Midlands Chamber of Commerce.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about working with a web designer near Chatsworth House near Bakewell.

  • Where is Web Design by Matt based?

    I’m based at 32 Porteous Cl, Two Dales, Matlock DE4 2EN, in the Derbyshire Dales, near Bakewell and Chatsworth House. I run the business on my own from there, so my address isn’t in Bakewell itself, though I’m close by in the Dales.

  • What kind of businesses do you work with?

    I work with service businesses and tradespeople who need enquiries and bookings, such as plumbers, electricians, roofers, therapists and physios. I don’t build online shops, ecommerce sites, app-based websites or simple brochure sites. If you want a one-off job you’ll manage yourself afterwards, I’m probably not the right fit.

  • Is the same person handling my website, copywriting and hosting?

    Yes, it’s just me. My listed categories cover web design, marketing agency work like local SEO and Google Business Profile, copywriting, managed WordPress hosting with updates and backups, and internet marketing including email and lead generation. That means one person to call rather than several different suppliers.
