The work, and who it is for in Shrewsbury

The catchment is the thing to build for, and it is where most local sites give up. A Shrewsbury firm that genuinely works in Oswestry, Telford, Ludlow, Church Stretton and Welshpool should have a page for each rather than a line in the footer saying “and surrounding areas”. Those are separate searches with separate intent, and a single page cannot rank for all of them. It is the same structural point the Pro Pave build turned on.

The economy is agriculture and food across the county, tourism and heritage in the town itself, a substantial independent retail and hospitality centre, professional services serving the rural economy, and public-sector employment around the council and the hospital.

The nearest comparable work is CFC Wedding Lists — a family furniture retailer in Cookstown trading since 1972, where the gift-list platform had to be written rather than configured. It is the closest thing on this site to the problem a long-established independent has: carrying fifty years of earned warmth in a build that still loads in 0.78 seconds with zero layout shift.

Worth saying plainly rather than hoping you do not ask: I am in Manchester, not Shrewsbury. There is no local office and this page does not pretend there is one. Two builds in Northern Ireland and one in the Republic of Ireland have run entirely remotely without difficulty, and what you should insist on from any remote supplier is the same list I would insist on — the domain registered in your name, the hosting in your own account, a full working copy of the site if you ever leave, and no exit fee. All four are standard here and they are written down on the pricing page.

And before any website work at all: the Google Business Profile. It is free, it takes an afternoon, and for a local business it decides the map pack that sits above every result a website can win. That is an awkward thing to put on a web designer’s page and it is still the right first move.

What you get, and what it costs

The same three numbers as everybody else, published rather than quoted on request: from £500 for the build, from £50 a month for hosting and care, and growth blocks from £250 a month if and when the site should start earning more. No setup fee, no management fee, no percentage of ad spend, and no minimum term on anything.

• A bespoke build rather than a page-builder assembly, so the site is fast on a phone rather than fast on your laptop.
• A page for each service and each area you actually sell in, so every search has somewhere of its own to land instead of competing with the homepage.
• Editable by you, with a walkthrough at handover.
• The domain in your name and the hosting in your account, with a full working copy if you ever leave.
• Titles, structure and metadata written around the searches your customers actually run — not around a keyword dump.
