Websites that bring work in.

I'm Lewis Fielding. I build websites for Lancashire businesses and run the search, advertising and follow-up around them. The measure isn't traffic or impressions — it's how many good enquiries land in your inbox, and what they turned into.

One person, start to finish You deal with me. No account manager, no ticket queue, no handover to a junior after you've signed.
Built, not assembled Hand-coded pages, no page-builder bloat. Fast enough to pass Google's Core Web Vitals on a phone.
Fixed price, fixed scope You get the number before the work starts. It doesn't move unless you ask for more.

I'll go through your site, your Google results and your ad spend before we speak, then send you a written list of what to fix first. No charge and no obligation to use me.

Or email hello@fielding.digital — I answer everything myself, usually same day.

Most marketing budgets leak before they ever reach a customer.

Not because the ads were bad or the logo was wrong. Because of unglamorous things nobody gets around to. Here's the two-column version of what I actually get paid to change.

Where it goes

  • Someone searches, lands on your homepage, can't tell in four seconds what you do — and goes back to the results.
  • You rank below competitors doing worse work, because their Google Business Profile is filled in and yours isn't.
  • Ad clicks land on a page that was never built to answer that search, so the money buys a visit and nothing else.
  • A real enquiry sits in a shared inbox for two days because it isn't anyone's specific job.
  • At the end of the quarter nobody can say which spend produced which jobs, so next quarter is a guess too.

Where it should go

  • A page for each thing you sell, headed with the words your buyers actually type and use.
  • A profile, a review flow and local pages that put you in the map results for your towns.
  • Ads pointed at a landing page built for that exact query, with one obvious next step on it.
  • Every enquiry acknowledged in minutes, owned by a named person, with a next action and a date.
  • One monthly page: spend in, enquiries out, by channel. Enough to decide where next month's money goes.

Four services. They work best together, and I'll tell you which one you need first.

Most people arrive asking for one of these and leave the call needing a different one. That conversation is free and it saves you money.

Hand-built sites for businesses that need to be found and believed. Structured around what you sell rather than how your org chart is drawn, fast enough to pass Google's speed thresholds on a phone, and written so a buyer knows within a few seconds that they're in the right place.

No page builders, no template licence, no platform you can't leave.

SEO

Getting found for the searches that end in someone contacting you — not for a vanity keyword that looks good in a report. Local map rankings for your towns, service pages that answer the query properly, and the technical work underneath that stops Google having to guess.

Reported monthly against enquiries, with the terms agreed before we start.

From £450 a month Local + organic No lock-in contract

Paid search you can audit. Tight campaigns built around genuine buying intent, negatives maintained weekly so you stop paying for the wrong searches, and landing pages built for the ad rather than a homepage doing a job it was never designed for.

Flat monthly fee — never a percentage of your spend, because that pays me to spend more of your money.

From £400 a month Flat fee, not % of spend Your account, your data

What happens after the click. Capture that fits how people actually enquire, instant acknowledgement, routing to a named owner, follow-up that keeps going when someone goes quiet, and reporting that ties spend to jobs won.

Most businesses don't have a lead problem. They have a follow-up problem, and it's the cheapest thing on this list to fix.

The speed targets every site is built to hit

Google publishes the thresholds it considers "good" for a page. They aren't a secret, and they aren't negotiable — a site that misses them is measurably harder to rank and measurably worse to use on a phone. These are the numbers I build against.

0.1 Cumulative Layout Shift How much the page jumps about while loading. The reason your thumb hits the wrong button. web.dev

You're hiring a person, not a pipeline.

Agencies sell you to a partner and deliver you to an executive who joined last month. There's nothing wrong with agencies — some of them are excellent — but the model only works above a certain size of budget, and most Lancashire businesses aren't there.

This is deliberately the opposite. Small number of clients, no layers, and the person who scoped the job is the person who does it. If something isn't working you tell me and it changes that week, not after a review meeting.

The trade-off is honest: I can't take twelve clients at once, and if the slot isn't there I'll tell you when it is rather than take the money and stretch.

Questions people ask before they get in touch

Straight answers, including the ones about money.

How much does a new website cost?

Most business sites I build land between £1,800 and £6,500 depending on how many pages you need and whether the copy is written for you. You get a fixed number before any work starts and it doesn't move unless you add scope. Ongoing SEO and ad management are separate monthly retainers, quoted the same way.

How long does it take to build?

A five to eight page site is usually four to six weeks from the kick-off call. The slow part is almost never the build — it's getting content, photos and sign-off out of a busy business. If you have those ready, it's faster.

Do I own the website when it's finished?

Yes. The domain, the hosting account and the code are all in your name. There's no proprietary platform and no exit fee. If you want to move to someone else in two years, you take everything with you.

Do you work with businesses outside Lancashire?

Regularly. I'm based in Lancashire and most clients are within an hour, which makes site visits easy, but the work itself is location-independent and I have clients across the North West and further afield in the UK.

What if I already have a website?

Then the first job is finding out whether it's worth keeping. Sometimes a site is structurally fine and just needs pages, speed work and a search strategy on top — that costs a fraction of a rebuild. I'll tell you honestly which situation you're in, and it's not always the one that pays me more.

Can you just do the Google Ads and leave the site alone?

I can, but I'll usually argue against it. Sending paid clicks to a page that wasn't built to convert them is the most reliable way to waste an ad budget. If the site is weak, fixing the landing page first is normally the cheaper win.

Twenty minutes will tell you whether this is worth doing.
