Web Design by Matt: Website Design and Digital Marketing for Matlock Service Businesses

Quick Summary

Web Design by Matt is a one-person web design and digital marketing service based at 32 Porteous Cl, Two Dales, Matlock DE4 2EN, near Matlock. I build complete online marketing systems for service businesses and tradespeople, combining web design, local SEO, hosting and ongoing support. Before starting the business, I spent 7 years marketing a service-based business of my own.

If your website is outdated, isn’t bringing in enquiries, or you don’t have one at all, I can help. I’m Matt. Web Design by Matt is a web designer near Sydnope Hall in Matlock, and it’s just me running it. My base in Two Dales puts me in the DE4 postcode area, near Matlock rather than in the town itself.

I work with service business owners who rely on enquiries and bookings. That covers trades like plumbers, electricians, roofers and joiners. It also covers practitioners like therapists and physiotherapists, and professional services like accountants and coaches. I don’t build online shops or simple brochure sites. I build the systems that help a service business turn its website into enquiries. You also get someone reliable to call when you need help.

A website on its own rarely solves the real problem. You can have a good-looking site that sits there doing nothing. So I build a complete client system. The website is one part of it. The rest is what happens when someone lands on it, gets in touch, and needs following up.

    In plain English, that system can include a website built around your services and customers, designed to be conversion-focused, mobile-optimised and SEO-ready. Lead capture gives people clear ways to get in touch or ask for a quote, so no enquiry slips through the cracks. A CRM keeps track of every enquiry and customer in one place, rather than on scraps of paper and old texts. Automations handle your follow-up messages so you don’t have to remember them, and online booking makes it easy for customers to arrange a time with you.

    Around that, I combine web design, local SEO, hosting and ongoing support. Local SEO is the work that helps your business show up when people nearby search for what you do. Hosting is where your website lives online. I look after both, so you aren't left juggling different suppliers. The aim is predictable leads and consistent growth for your business. I'll be straight with you, though. Nobody can guarantee rankings or results, and I won't pretend otherwise.

  • Web design and SEO Matlock

    My background is the reason I work this way. Before I launched Web Design by Matt, I spent 7 years marketing a service-based business of my own. I grew it through web design, SEO and digital marketing, and I learned what works first-hand rather than from a textbook. Those 7 years came before this business existed. They're where I learned how much pressure there is in finding the next customer when you're also busy doing the actual work.

    That experience shapes how I work with service business owners now. I want you to have zero guesswork about what's being done on your website and why. I want it to be digital marketing without the stress. You get on with running your business. I look after the online side and keep it working for you as a long-term partner.

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

When I was running my own service business, the hardest part was not knowing what came next. You pay for a website, then you wait and hope. I didn't want my clients to feel that way. So I follow the same five steps every time. I call it the Service Business Blueprint. It means zero guesswork about what I'm doing, why I'm doing it and what happens next.
  • 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.
The order matters. I don't start designing until I understand your business and have a plan. A site built around how an electrician wins work, or how a physiotherapist takes bookings, will look very different from one built from a stock template. By the time Phase 4 is done, the site should be mobile-optimised, SEO-ready and conversion-focused. In plain English, it works properly on a phone, it is set up so search engines can understand it, and it is built to turn visitors into enquiries.

Web design and SEO Matlock
  • The website is only one part of what I build. I build online marketing systems. That can mean lead capture, so enquiries don't slip through the cracks. It can mean a CRM, which is a simple place to keep track of who has been in touch and where each job stands. It can also mean automations that handle the follow-up for you. The aim is predictable leads and consistent growth, and that is what the whole process is designed to work towards. It also means less chasing for you.
    I'm honest about who I'm right for. 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. 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. I'll tell you that straight, rather than take the work and leave you disappointed.
    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 digital marketing for the long term. If something isn't working, I'll tell you and put it right.
    That last part is the bit I care about most. When I was busy on jobs, what I needed was someone who would pick up the phone and give me a straight answer. That's the kind of support Phase 5 is there to provide. Launch day is the start of the work, not the end of it.

You might only need one thing from me right now. Perhaps it's a website redesign, or someone to look after your hosting so you can stop worrying about it. That's fine. Everything below is something I offer, and it all fits together when you're ready for more. Here is the full list, grouped so it's easy to scan.
  • Web 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.

  • Email and lead generation: 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 couple of those terms need a plain-English explanation. Your Google Business Profile is the listing that shows your business name, phone number and reviews when someone looks you up on Google. Lead nurture email sequences are a set of emails that go out automatically to people who have enquired but haven't booked yet. For a roofer, that might be a quote follow-up. For a counsellor, it might be a gentle reminder about a first session. Either way, it keeps you in touch without you having to remember to do it.
When you hand your website and marketing to someone, you want to know they're properly set up. 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 carry £2 million Public Liability and £1 million Professional Indemnity insurance.
The first step is a free 30-minute consultation. It's a straight conversation about your business, what's working, what isn't and whether I'm the right fit. If I'm not, I'll tell you. If I am, you'll come away knowing exactly what I'd do and why.
