Web design for small businesses and private practices

Websites that get small businesses found and booked

Built for businesses across Chester, Cheshire and North Wales, around how people actually search for what you do.

Starting from nothing or replacing a site that sits there doing nothing, we handle the lot and stay with you after launch.

Sound familiar?

"I've been meaning to get a website…"
"I only use Facebook at the moment."
"I don't know where to start."
"I just want someone to handle everything."

You're exactly who we work with. Our job is to remove the uncertainty and make the whole process straightforward - no jargon, no confusion, just a website you can be proud of.

What we do

We don't just build websites

We help small businesses:

Look professional

A modern, bespoke design that makes the right first impression - because every business deserves one.
Be found on Google

Built properly from day one, so search engines can find you and local customers can too.
Win new customers

Every page has a purpose. Every design decision supports a business objective - usually the phone ringing.
Grow with confidence

A website that keeps delivering value as your business grows - and a partner who sticks around after launch day.

How it works

Four steps from idea to launch

1
Chat

A friendly, no-pressure conversation about your business and what you need. Plain English, honest advice, transparent pricing.
2
Design

We create a bespoke design around your brand and your customers - and refine it together until you love it.
3
Build

Your site is built properly: fast, mobile-friendly and ready to be found on Google.
4
Launch & support

We take you live and stay in your corner. Our relationship doesn't end on launch day.

About

Hi, I'm Martin

First Site Studio is just me. You'll deal with the same person from the first conversation to launch day and beyond, which is the main difference between working with me and working with an agency.

I come from a digital marketing background, which matters more than you would think. A website that looks smart but never appears on Google is an expensive business card. Knowing how people actually search, and building the site around that, is the difference between a site that sits there and one that brings you work.

Most of the businesses I work with have run on word of mouth for years, and it has served them well. It only becomes a problem when someone new to the area reaches for their phone, searches for what you do, and finds somebody else.
