Websites for the whole of Hemel

FIG. 01 — THE OFFER

Hemel Hempstead is the largest town in Dacorum, and its businesses are just as varied: the trades and home-services that cover the new and old town, the independent shops and cafés around Marlowes and the Old High Street, and the many firms based out at the Maylands business area, one of the biggest employment hubs in the county.

That mix means there's no single "Hemel website". A tradesperson needs to be found fast and take a call; a shop needs to look the part and maybe sell online; a B2B firm at Maylands needs to look credible to the businesses it pitches to. I build each site around what that business actually needs: custom, quick, and easy to use on a phone.

Common Hemel Hempstead projects

Lead-generating sites for trades and home-services
Online shops and click-and-collect for local retailers
Booking-led sites for clinics, salons and service businesses
Credible, professional sites for Maylands-based B2B firms
Redesigns of dated or slow existing websites

Standing out in a busy local market

FIG. 02 — GET FOUND

Hemel Hempstead has plenty of web designers, and several compete hard on price. You'll see headline figures well below mine. I don't try to be the cheapest. I build fast, modern, properly structured sites and back them with a care plan, because a site that loads slowly or breaks on a phone costs you far more in lost enquiries than it saves up front.

To actually get found, the on-page SEO basics come as standard, and I'll help you set up a free Google Business Profile: the single biggest factor in appearing in Hemel's local "map pack" results. If you want to push harder, the Growth and Commerce tiers add stronger SEO and analytics.

Nearby? I also cover Berkhamsted and Tring, and the wider Hertfordshire area.

The Fives Vault homepage — a full-court video hero titled 'Fives. The wall game, modernised.'

Flagship build FIG. 03a — COMPLETED

A site built to compete, minus the agency bill.

A friend needed a website an agency had quoted at £15,000–£30,000. I built the whole thing — twelve custom pages with a shot-technique gallery, a 44-court finder and a 3D court viewer, plus SEO that ranks — for a fraction of that. Fives isn't a Hemel business — it's the yardstick: every build gets the same custom treatment, whether it's a twelve-page platform or a single-page shop site.

Scope: 12 pages, custom
Includes: Shot Vault · 44-court finder · SEO
Built by: Joshua, solo
