Web Design by Matt: Web Design and Digital Marketing Near Matlock

Quick Summary

Web Design by Matt is a web design and digital marketing service for service businesses and tradespeople. I'm Matt, and I work from 32 Porteous Cl, Two Dales, Matlock DE4 2EN, near Matlock town centre. I build complete online marketing systems that combine web design, local SEO, hosting and support, using a five-step process I call the Service Business Blueprint.

Maybe your website looks dated. Maybe it isn’t bringing in enquiries. Maybe you don’t have one at all. If you run a service business and you’re looking for a web designer in Matlock town centre

I’m close by. I’m Matt. Web Design by Matt is based at 32 Porteous Cl, Two Dales, Matlock DE4 2EN, near Matlock town centre. My postcode sits in the same DE4 postcode district as Matlock itself. This is a one-person business. The person you talk to is the person who plans your site, builds it and looks after it afterwards. There’s no account manager in the middle and no passing you along. If you’d like someone to call who knows your business and your website inside out, that’s how I work.

Web Design by Matt builds complete online marketing systems for service-based businesses and tradespeople. The website sits at the centre, and it works alongside local SEO, hosting and ongoing support. The aim is to help you generate predictable leads and grow revenue, so you’re not left guessing where the next job is coming from.

    A quick word on the jargon. Local SEO means setting up your website and online presence so people nearby can find you when they look for the service you offer. Hosting is where your website lives online. Support means I'm still there after the site goes live, keeping it secure and working.

    I didn't come into this from a design agency. Before launching Web Design by Matt, I spent years growing my own service business through web design, SEO and digital marketing. That's 7 years' experience marketing a service-based business, and I learned it first hand. So I bring both sides: what it's like to run a trade, and how to market one online. I use that specifically for service businesses.

    That matters because a plumber, a physiotherapist or an accountant doesn't need a website to look pretty. They need it to bring in enquiries and bookings. I know the pressure of needing the phone to ring, because I've been there with my own business.

    Every project follows the same five steps. I call it the Service Business Blueprint. I'll go through each step properly in the next section, so you can see exactly what working with me involves. The short version is simple. You get one person who plans it, builds it and sticks around afterwards. That way your website keeps doing its job, and you get straightforward, stress-free marketing support.

How the Service Business Blueprint Works, Step by Step

When I ran my own service business, the hard part was never the work itself. It was knowing where the next enquiry would come from. That's why I follow the same five steps on every project. I call it the Service Business Blueprint. You know what's happening at each stage, 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.
That last phase matters most to me. A website that's built and then left alone tends to drift. I stay involved after launch because that's where steady, consistent growth comes from.

I also build complete client systems. That means the website plus lead capture, a CRM, automations and booking. In plain English, lead capture is how a visitor turns into an enquiry, such as a form or a booking request. A CRM is one place to keep track of your enquiries and customers, instead of notes scattered across your phone and your van. Automations are the jobs the system does for you, like sending a reply when someone gets in touch. Put together, these are online marketing systems built to turn visitors into enquiries and bookings. That's what conversion-focused means.

  • To be straight with you, this isn't right for everyone. 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. Think plumbers, electricians, roofers and landscapers, physiotherapists, counsellors and chiropractors, or accountants, solicitors and coaches.
    I 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. If you'd rather get on with your own work and have someone reliable to call, that's what I'm here for.
    What I will and won't promise. 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 marketing for the long term. If something isn't working, I'll tell you and put it right.

Credentials, Ongoing Support and How to Get in Touch

Handing your website and marketing to someone else is a big step. You want to know they're properly covered and that other people have checked them out. I'd want the same if I were in your shoes.
I hold £2 Million Public Liability and £1 Million Professional Indemnity cover. Professional indemnity is the insurance that relates to the professional work and advice I provide. It's there so you're not left exposed if something goes wrong on a project.
I'm also a member of Derbyshire Dales Trusted Trader. It's an independent scheme that vets local businesses across the Derbyshire Dales for quality and reliability. On top of that, I'm a member of the East Midlands Chamber of Commerce.
Once your site is live, I can look after the technical side for you. These are the ongoing services I offer:
  • Managed Website Hosting: I look after the server your site lives on, so you don't have to.
  • WordPress Hosting: hosting set up for sites built on WordPress.
  • WordPress Updates: keeping the WordPress software and its add-ons up to date.
  • Malware Removal: cleaning out harmful code if your site gets infected.
  • Website Backup Management: keeping copies of your site so it can be restored if needed.
When I ran my own service business, I didn't have time to worry about plugins, backups or security warnings. I had jobs to do and customers to look after. That's the point of this side of my work. You get on with running your business, and you have one person to call about your website.
If you're weighing up whether we'd be a good fit, the easiest first step is a free 30-minute consultation. It's a straight conversation about your business, where your enquiries come from now and what you want from your website. There's no pressure. If I'm not the right fit, I'll tell you.
