Website Development for Small Businesses in London
Most small business websites fail for the same reason: they were built to look good in a portfolio, not to bring in work.
We build the other kind. Small business website development that loads quickly, ranks properly, and turns visitors into enquiries — because that is the only measure that matters once the site is live.
What we build
WordPress websites
For most businesses, WordPress is the sensible choice. You get a site you can update yourself without ringing a developer every time a price changes. We build on properly licensed themes and keep the plugin count low — usually ten or fewer — because every extra plugin is another thing that can break or be exploited.
Custom PHP applications
When a project needs something WordPress cannot do well, we build it from scratch. We have developed coupon platforms, deal aggregators, and content sites that handle thousands of pages and pull live data from affiliate networks. If your idea does not fit a template, it does not need to.
E-commerce
WooCommerce stores set up with payment gateways, delivery rules, VAT handling and stock management configured for UK trading, not left on American defaults.
Redesigns and rescues
Sites that have gone stale, slowed down, or been hacked. We audit what is there, keep what works, and rebuild the rest. We have cleaned up sites infected through nulled themes, so we know what to look for and how to make sure it does not come back.
How we work
We start with a conversation, not a quote
Before we price anything, we want to understand what the site is meant to do. A site that takes bookings has different requirements from one that generates B2B enquiries. Getting this wrong at the start is expensive later.
You see progress, not silence
You get a staging link early and can watch the site take shape. Feedback at week two costs nothing to act on. Feedback after launch costs a rebuild.
Built to be found
Every site we deliver is built with proper heading structure, clean URLs, unique title tags and meta descriptions, XML sitemaps, and schema markup. Page speed is treated as a requirement rather than an afterthought — image compression, caching, and a CDN are set up before handover, not sold as an upgrade.
Secure from day one
SSL, a web application firewall, two-factor authentication on admin accounts, automated backups to off-site storage, and uptime monitoring. This is included, not an add-on.
What you get
- A responsive site that works properly on phones, where most of your traffic will come from
- Hosting and domain setup, or migration from your existing host
- Google Analytics 4 and Search Console configured and verified
- A UK GDPR-compliant cookie banner with a genuine reject option
- Contact forms that actually deliver to your inbox
- A short handover session so you can manage your own content
- Thirty days of post-launch support included
Timelines and cost
A straightforward brochure site typically takes two to three weeks. E-commerce and custom builds take longer, depending on scope.
We quote per project rather than per hour, so you know the cost before we start. If the scope changes, we tell you what it means before doing the work — no surprise invoices.
We are honest about what your budget can achieve. If a project needs more than you have to spend, we will tell you what to build first and what can wait, rather than delivering something half-finished.
Why Marktechsol
We have been building and running websites since 2019. Alongside client work, we operate our own portfolio of content and affiliate sites, which means we are not just building sites and walking away — we live with the consequences of our own technical decisions every day.
That shapes how we work. We know which shortcuts cost you later, because we have paid for them ourselves.
