Web Design by Matt: A Matlock-Based Web Designer for Service Businesses

Quick Summary

Web Design by Matt is a one-person web design and digital marketing business based in Two Dales, near Matlock. I build complete online marketing systems for service businesses and tradespeople, following my 5-step Service Business Blueprint. Before starting this business, I spent years growing my own service business through web design, SEO and digital marketing.

If you’re looking for a web designer near Hall Leys Park in Matlock, here’s who I am. My name is Matt, and I run Web Design by Matt from my business address in the Matlock DE4 postcode area. It’s just me. When you deal with Web Design by Matt, you deal with me.

I work with service business owners and tradespeople across the UK who need a proper website and local SEO to bring in enquiries. Most come to me because their current site is outdated or isn’t pulling its weight. Some don’t have a website at all. If that sounds like you, you’re the kind of business I set this up to help.

I’m listed as a web designer, but that’s only part of what I do. The business also works as a marketing agency, a copywriting service, a web hosting company and an internet marketing service. Those pieces all connect, and I’d rather handle them together than leave you juggling several different suppliers.

    What I build are online marketing systems. A website is one part of that. Around it sit lead capture to collect enquiries, a CRM to keep track of them, automations to handle follow-ups, and booking so customers can get in your diary. Put together, that's a complete client system. The aim is predictable leads and consistent growth, rather than a nice-looking site that sits there doing nothing.

    My background is the reason I work this way. I have 7 years' experience marketing a service-based business. Before I launched Web Design by Matt, I spent years growing my own service business through web design, SEO and digital marketing. I learned first-hand what it's like to need the phone to ring. I know the pressure of finding the next customer while you're also trying to do the actual work. That experience shapes everything I build for other service businesses.

    Every project follows the same 5-step process, which I call the Service Business Blueprint. The five stages are Understanding, Strategising, Building, Perfecting, and Launch and Support. Following a set process means there's zero guesswork about what happens next or why. I'll go through each stage properly further down this page, so you can see how a project runs from the first call to life after launch.

    The sites I build are conversion-focused, mobile-optimised and SEO-ready. In plain English, that means they're set up to turn visitors into enquiries, they work properly on a phone, and they're built so search engines can understand what you do. The last stage of the Blueprint is support, because a website needs looking after once it's live. I'd rather be the person you call for the long haul than someone who hands over a site and disappears.

What's Included: Website Design, Hosting, SEO and Marketing Services

Here's exactly what I offer. I've grouped the services under the five sides of the business so you can see what fits together. You don't need all of it on day one. But it helps to know it's all under one roof, handled by one person.
  • Website design: 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.
  • Local SEO and Google Business Profile: Local SEO, Google Business Profile Optimisation, Google Business Profile Management, Local SEO Audit, SEO Website Audit and Local SEO Campaign Management.
  • Copywriting: SEO Copywriting and Conversion Focused Copywriting.
  • Hosting and security: Managed Website Hosting, WordPress Hosting, WordPress Updates, Website Security Monitoring, Malware Removal and Website Backup Management.
  • Email and internet marketing: Email Marketing Campaign Management, Email Marketing Automation, Email Newsletter Management, Lead Nurture Email Sequences, Lead Generation Strategy, Conversion Rate Optimisation, Digital Marketing Strategy, Marketing Funnel Development, Customer Retention Email Marketing and Email Marketing Setup.
A few of those terms need a plain-English translation. Conversion-focused means the site is built to turn visitors into enquiries and bookings, not just to look nice. Lead nurture email sequences are a short run of emails that keep in touch with people who've shown interest but haven't booked yet. Managed hosting means I look after the server your site lives on, so you don't have to think about it.

Web design and SEO Matlock
  • Every project follows my Service Business Blueprint, five phases in the same order, so there’s no guesswork about what happens next. First comes Understanding, where a discovery call helps me learn about your business, customers and goals, because a roofer and a counsellor need very different things from a website. Then Strategising, where I map out your site structure, keywords and local SEO plan. In Building, I design your WordPress site around your services and customers, then Perfecting is where I test and fine-tune it for speed, mobile and search before anyone sees it. Finally, Launch and Support: I handle the launch, then keep your site hosted, secure and improving, because the work doesn’t stop the day it goes live.
    Now the honest bit about who this isn’t for. I don’t build simple brochure websites, ecommerce sites or app-based websites. I focus on service businesses that need enquiries and bookings, so if you sell products online, I’m the wrong person.
    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. Having run my own service business, I know most owners would rather be on the tools or with clients than fiddling with plugins at ten o’clock at night. That’s the gap I’m here to fill.

Experience, Guarantees and How to Get in Touch

Before you hand your website and marketing to anyone, you want to know who they are and what backs them up. That's fair. I'd want the same.
My background is running a service business, not working in an agency. I have 7 years' experience marketing a service-based business. Before I started Web Design by Matt, I spent years growing my own service business through web design, SEO and digital marketing. I learned what brings in enquiries and what wastes money by doing it myself. That's the experience I bring to every service business I work with.
I'm a member of Derbyshire Dales Trusted Trader. It's an independent scheme that vets local businesses for quality and reliability. I'm also a member of the East Midlands Chamber of Commerce.
On insurance, I carry £2 Million Public Liability and £1 Million Professional Indemnity cover. You shouldn't have to wonder whether the person looking after your website is properly insured.
Now the honest part. I don't make promises about rankings or results that nobody can guarantee. Anyone who promises you top spot on Google or a set number of leads is guessing. I won't do that to you.
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. To me, that's what digital marketing without the stress means. You have someone to call who knows your business and gives you a straight answer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about working with a web designer near Hall Leys Park in Matlock.

  • Who does the work at Web Design by Matt?

    I do, every time. Matt runs this business alone, so when you call or email you’re dealing with the person who designs the site, writes the strategy and handles the ongoing support. There’s no handover to a different team member partway through, and no account manager between you and the work.

  • What makes the websites different from just a nice-looking site?

    Every site is built to be conversion-focused, mobile-optimised and SEO-ready, meaning it’s designed to turn visitors into enquiries, work properly on a phone, and be understood by search engines. Around the site itself sits lead capture, a CRM, automations and booking, so it functions as a full client system rather than a page that just sits there.

  • Does the service stop once my website goes live?

    No, support is the fifth stage of the Service Business Blueprint. After launch, Matt keeps the site hosted, secure and improving rather than handing it over and disappearing. The idea is to be the person you call for the long haul, not a one-off supplier you never hear from again.
