Web Design by Matt: website design and digital marketing for service businesses near Uppertown
Quick Summary
Web Design by Matt is a one-person web design and digital marketing business. I run it from 32 Porteous Cl, Two Dales, Matlock DE4 2EN. I build websites and online marketing systems for service businesses and tradespeople who need enquiries and bookings. If you run a service business in Uppertown and you're looking for a web designer near Uppertown Social Centre, this page explains what I do and who I do it for.
A lot of service business owners have a website that looks fine but doesn’t bring in much work. Some have an old site they’ve stopped looking at. Some have no site at all. I’m Matt, and I run Web Design by Matt on my own from 32 Porteous Cl, Two Dales, Matlock DE4 2EN. This page is for service business owners in Uppertown who want to know if I’m the right fit. I build websites and marketing for service businesses that depend on enquiries and bookings. Because it’s just me, you deal with me directly from the first conversation onwards. There’s no account manager in the middle and no being passed around a team.
Before I started 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 first-hand what it takes to find customers. I know the pressure of needing the phone to ring. That’s the experience I bring to every service business I work with.
What I build are online marketing systems. The website sits at the centre, but it works alongside lead capture, a CRM, automations and booking. Lead capture means the forms and calls to action that turn a visitor into an enquiry. A CRM is a simple system for keeping track of your enquiries and customers. Automations handle routine follow-ups so you don’t have to remember them. Put together, I call this a complete client system. The aim is predictable leads, rather than hoping the odd enquiry turns up.
This suits service businesses of all kinds. Think plumbers, electricians, builders and landscapers. Think therapists, physiotherapists and counsellors. Think accountants, consultants and coaches. I don't build simple brochure websites, ecommerce sites or app-based websites. If you sell products online, I'm not the right person for the job. My focus is service businesses that need enquiries and bookings.
From Website Design and WordPress Website Design to Small Business Website Design, Service Business Website Design and Website Redesign, all conversion-focused and built to bring in enquiries. To help local customers find you, I offer Local SEO, including Google Business Profile Optimisation, Google Business Profile Management, Local SEO Audits and Local SEO Campaign Management.
Once your site is live, my Managed Website Hosting keeps it fast, safe and running properly, covering WordPress Hosting, WordPress Updates, Website Security Monitoring, Malware Removal and Website Backup Management. I also offer Email Marketing, including campaign management, automation, newsletters, lead nurture sequences and customer retention emails, plus SEO Copywriting and Conversion Focused Copywriting, so the words on your site do their share of the work.
I work best as a long-term partner, looking after your website and marketing so you can get on with running your business. Below, I explain how a project runs from the first call to launch, and what happens after that.

The Service Business Blueprint: how a website gets built and supported
- 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.
- Phase 5 is where the long-term side starts. After launch, I keep your site hosted, secure and improving. That covers WordPress updates, security monitoring, backup management and malware removal if it's ever needed. You don't have to think about any of it. That's what I mean by digital marketing without the stress.A website on its own is only one piece of the job. What I build are online marketing systems. They bring together web design, local SEO, hosting and support. Depending on what your business needs, that can include lead capture, a CRM, automations and booking. Lead capture means the forms and calls to action that turn a visitor into an enquiry. A CRM is one place to keep track of your enquiries and customers. Automations are tasks that run on their own, such as follow-up emails. Put together, that's a complete client system. Every site is conversion-focused, mobile-optimised and SEO-ready. The aim is predictable leads and consistent growth, built on a proper system rather than luck.I'll be straight with you about results. 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. 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.I'm also not right for everyone, and I'd rather say so now. 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. That might be a joiner, a physiotherapist or an accountant. I also work best with people who want a long-term partner to handle their website and marketing. If you'd prefer a one-off job you manage yourself, or you'd rather build and run everything on your own, I'm probably not the right fit. I'll tell you that.
