web design and IT support in Petersfield
Thirty-five minutes down the A3, for a market town with more going on than its size suggests.
About thirty-five minutes down the A3.
Petersfield is a proper market town: independent shops around the square, professional firms in the streets behind it, and a catchment that reaches well into the South Downs. Businesses here tend to be long established and to have a website that has been added to rather than designed, usually several times by several people.
Burley Geach Solicitors, with offices along this border, are the nearest piece of work on this site: their rebuild kept the content the firm had spent years getting right and changed the thing that had actually aged, which was everything around it.
That is usually the right answer for a town like this. Not a rewrite, and not another round of patching a theme bought in 2014, but a rebuild that carries the words across and leaves you able to edit them afterwards without ringing anyone.

WordPress Design
Most WordPress sites are a bought theme with somebody else's logo swapped out. Yours gets designed around what you actually need to say, and built so that changing it afterwards does not mean ringing me.
more about thisManaged WordPress
Updates, backups and security handled on a schedule, rather than the week after something goes wrong. Changes get tried on a staging copy first, so the live site is never the experiment.
more about thisWeb & Email Hosting
UK hosting for websites and mailboxes, with a person on the end of it. When email stops on a Friday afternoon you are speaking to whoever set it up, not filing a ticket and waiting.
more about thisSearch Engine Optimisation
No promises about ranking first, because nobody can honestly make them. Fixing what is technically wrong, building pages around the words people type into Google, and reporting in enquiries rather than positions.
more about thisquestions people ask
Our site has been added to for years. Rebuild or repair?
It depends what is underneath. If the content is good and the structure is sound, a new design on the same foundations is cheaper and faster. If every page is a different shape because four people built them, start again and carry the words across.
Will we lose our search rankings in a rebuild?
Not if the addresses are kept or redirected properly, which is the part most rebuilds get wrong. Every old address either stays or is pointed at its replacement, permanently.
Do you charge for the first conversation?
No. If it turns out I am not the right person for it, I will tell you that instead, which saves us both more time than it costs.
