Delivery from Newcastle upon Tyne
Your Derby business can do excellent work and still lose enquiries before you speak to anyone. A buyer searches for an engineer, fabricator, shop, hotel or contractor, then compares several businesses in minutes. If your website is unclear, slow or hard to trust, the call goes elsewhere.
You also need more than website design Derby. You need useful quote forms, local search, reviews, call handling, adverts and regular updates. We provide the complete system from Newcastle upon Tyne, delivered by video call and email. You deal with the same person throughout, with published website packages from £1,295.
The problem
Engineering, construction and specialist firms often describe work in internal terms. Prospective buyers cannot tell which service fits, what information to send or whether you handle their type of project.
Organise your services into clear, price-ready pages
A customer searching Derby may see competitors with better business listings, fresher reviews and clearer location pages. Good work alone does not put your name in front of that searcher.
Improve your Derby pages and Google Business Profile
A message with only a name and phone number creates more work. Your team must call back, request drawings, check postcodes and discover whether the job is suitable.

Start with no upfront costQuote request
Two minutes of questions and we will send back a real number, not a range. Website packages start at £1,295, ecommerce from £2,495, and there is a no upfront option at £199 a month.
The result
Customers arrive with the postcode, job type, dates, drawings or photos you need. Your team spends less time gathering basics and more time deciding what to quote.
Your website and Google Business Profile explain your services, locations and proof clearly. People searching around Derby can understand your fit before they compare another supplier.
The AI Receptionist collects details when your team is unavailable. You receive a text with the caller's needs, urgency and contact information, ready for a proper follow-up.
01
We build the website as the centre of your sales and marketing. It explains what you do, proves that you can be trusted and guides visitors towards a useful next step. That might be a quote request, a product order, a booking or a phone call. We handle website design Derby businesses can use without needing a separate supplier for every change.
The remote process is simple. We learn how your business works over video call, prepare the pages, show you the work and make changes by email. You receive a clear build price from £1,295. There is no travel cost hidden in the price, and you own everything we build when the project is complete.
Choose the pages and next step your Derby customers need, then request a quote for the right starting package.
02
People in Derby search with a clear need. They may look for a sheet metal company near Pride Park, an MOT garage in Chaddesden, a wedding venue near the Peak District, or an industrial supplier serving the wider Midlands. We improve the pages that help Google understand your services, location and customers.
We also improve your Google Business Profile, the business listing that appears in Maps and local results. That includes your services, areas covered, photos, opening times and regular updates. The aim is practical: help the right local people find you, then give them enough information to choose you.
Send us your priority services and Derby areas, and we will map the local searches worth targeting.
More detail
Open the parts you care about. Everything here is on the page, just tidied away.
A contact box saying 'get in touch' makes your team do all the chasing. We build forms around the information you need to price or qualify a job. A fabricator may need drawings and material type. A contractor may need the postcode, timescale and photos. A venue may need dates, guest numbers and room requirements.
Each enquiry can arrive with the useful detail already attached. That means fewer emails asking for basics and faster decisions about which work is worth pursuing. We can connect forms to email, text alerts, spreadsheets or your existing software. This is small business website design Derby owners can manage without technical knowledge.
List the details you normally ask on the phone, and we will turn them into a better enquiry path.
A buyer choosing between similar Derby businesses often checks reviews before making contact. A rail supplier, joiner or hospitality operator needs proof that the work is reliable. We help you ask for feedback at the right point, instead of relying on someone to remember later.
The process can send a polite review request after a completed job, booking or appointment. Happy customers can be guided to Google, while private feedback gives you a chance to fix problems early. We also place useful proof on your website, such as project photos, sectors served, qualifications and customer comments you have permission to use.
Start with your last ten completed jobs, and we will show you where review requests can fit naturally.
A missed call can mean a lost quote, room booking or urgent repair. Our AI Receptionist answers 24/7 in your business name. It asks what the caller needs, takes their contact and job details, and sorts urgent requests from routine enquiries. You receive the details by text straight away, even when your team is busy.
The AI Receptionist costs £169 a month. It is £199 a month with Website Care, which is required for every client. It does not pretend to be a person or make promises your business cannot keep. We give it clear rules, services and escalation instructions, then improve those instructions as you learn what callers ask.
Choose the calls you most often miss, and we will plan the receptionist's questions around them.
Google Ads can put your business in front of people ready to act. This suits firms with spare capacity, high-value jobs or a seasonal push. We build campaigns around services and locations, then send clicks to pages written for that exact need. Ad spend goes directly to Google and is never marked up by us.
Management costs £449 a month. We test advert wording, adjust bids and budgets, remove poor search terms and improve the landing pages receiving visitors. Call tracking and form tracking show which clicks became real enquiries, booked work or sales. You can then judge campaigns by useful outcomes, not just visits.
Tell us your target job, Derby service area and monthly ad budget, and we will assess whether paid leads fit.
A new website needs regular reasons for customers to return and Google to understand your expertise. Our SEO and Content service costs £249 a month. SEO means improving your website and business information so it appears for relevant searches. We create two useful pages or articles each month, based on your real services and customer concerns.
That could include a guide to preparing drawings for fabrication, a page for rail maintenance buyers, a seasonal Peak District accommodation update or answers about appointment availability. We also update your Google Business Profile, build trusted local listings and report on progress. Automated Social Media costs £99 a month, while the Marketing Coach costs £49 a month.
Choose one service to promote this quarter, and we will turn it into a practical monthly content plan.
Essentials costs £1,295 and gives you a credible presence that turns visitors into enquiries. Complete costs £1,995 and suits businesses losing work to missed calls. Growth costs £2,495 and is for businesses ready to buy leads through Google. All website clients need Website Care at £59 a month for hosting, security and support.
We also build Ecommerce Launch at £2,495, Ecommerce Growth at £3,995 and Ecommerce Pro from £5,995. Direct Booking starts at £2,495, Booking Growth is £3,995 and Tourism Pro starts from £5,995. Appointment booking websites cost £1,495 to £1,995. A no upfront option is £199 a month over 24 months, with no setup fee.
Choose the package that matches your next commercial step, then ask for a written quote with the required monthly care included.
The honest comparison
It is a fair question, and it deserves a straight answer rather than a sales pitch.
If you simply need a basic online presence, a low-cost website builder may be enough. Somewhere to point people who already know your name. If that is genuinely all you need, do that and spend the money elsewhere. We would rather tell you that than take a fee for something you will not use.
Our websites are designed for established businesses that want Google traffic to turn into calls, enquiries and customers. Copy, tracking, conversion setup and ongoing management are built in. That is a different product solving a different problem, and it is priced accordingly.
A £199 builder site
Fine for a basic presence. Not built to win work.
A Look North website
Built so search traffic becomes booked jobs.
Who writes the words
A £199 builder site
You do, usually at 11pm, into a blank box.
A Look North website
We do. Copywriting for every page is included, written around the jobs you actually want.
Whether it shows up on Google
A £199 builder site
It will rank for your business name. Not much else.
A Look North website
A page for every service and every town you cover, structured so each one can rank.
What happens to an enquiry
A £199 builder site
A contact form emails you. If you miss it, you miss it.
A Look North website
Quote forms written for your trade, instant SMS and email alerts, and every enquiry stored so none are lost.
When the phone rings and you are on a job
A £199 builder site
It goes to voicemail. Most callers hang up and ring the next business.
A Look North website
Our AI receptionist answers 24/7 in your business name, takes the details and texts you straight away.
Knowing what is working
A £199 builder site
A visitor counter, if that.
A Look North website
Call tracking, conversion tracking and call attribution, so you know which clicks became real jobs.
Getting reviews
A £199 builder site
You remember to ask, sometimes.
A Look North website
Review generation set up so a request goes out after every job, with the results shown on your site.
What happens after launch
A £199 builder site
Nothing. It sits there until you cancel the subscription.
A Look North website
The Marketing Coach gives you a plan broken into weekly jobs, so the site keeps earning its keep.
Who owns it
A £199 builder site
The platform. Stop paying and it disappears.
A Look North website
You do. The code, the domain, the hosting account and the content are yours.
Speed on a phone
A £199 builder site
Template bloat, often slow, which costs you rankings and visitors.
A Look North website
Built mobile first, because that is where almost every local search happens.
When something breaks
A £199 builder site
A help centre article and a support queue.
A Look North website
Website Care at £59 a month: monitoring, backups, updates, and a person who answers.
If the upfront cost is the blocker rather than the quality, we do a no upfront option at £199 a month on a 24 month term. That is not a builder subscription. It is a real site built for your trade, with hosting, Website Care and the AI receptionist included, live in 5 working days. The difference between that and a £199 builder site is the difference between renting a van and renting a parking space.
What the difference buys
Not features. The things that change how much work comes in.
A missed call is a customer ringing your competitor. The AI receptionist picks up 24/7, qualifies the job and texts you. Most trades win back more than the cost of the whole website in the first few months.
One page cannot rank for eight services across twelve towns. We build a page for each, so you show up for the specific job someone is searching for right now.
Not "how much for a bathroom?" but property type, scale, access, timing and photos. You quote accurately, first, without a site visit.
A review request after every job. In a year you have the review count competitors cannot catch up with, and reviews are the last thing a customer checks before calling.
Copywriting for every page is included. No blank boxes, no writing your own service descriptions at 11pm, no page that sounds like everyone else.
Call tracking and conversion tracking show which clicks turned into jobs. You stop guessing which half of the marketing worked.
The Marketing Coach turns a strategy into weekly jobs small enough to actually finish. That is why our sites are still growing a year later.
Code, domain, hosting, content and your Google Business Profile. Nothing switches off if you leave, because nothing was rented to you.
If a basic presence is all you need, a builder is the sensible choice and we will say so. If you want the phone to ring more often, that is what we build. Get a fixed price.
