It depends on where you are with your business. For complete beginners, platforms like Wix and GoDaddy are popular because they’re cheap and easy to use. 

However, be careful because there are disadvantages to these platforms. Put simply — buy cheap, buy twice. 

Neither Wix nor GoDaddy are transferable. That means that as your business website outgrows the platform, you can’t move it elsewhere without paying through the nose to recreate everything from scratch. WordPress allows you to freely export the entire website to another host.   

There are also serious limitations with SEO. Cheap platforms offer only the basics, so it’s difficult to properly optimise your website for search engines. You’re unlikely to be seen online by your target market. WordPress is great for SEO. Google finds it easy to rank the content. 

Yes, we can create an SEO and content strategy which is affordable — and, most importantly, practical. We know you’re busy. 

Contrary to what some agencies may say, SEO isn’t rocket science. Firstly, you deliver a good experience to website visitors. Secondly, you clearly show Google that you’re doing it.

OK, it’s a bit more complex than that — but we’ll sort out the technical stuff, then come up with a realistic content strategy which works for you. 

We take the worry away. You’ll get a healthy return without wasting a penny. 

We’d be happy to update your current site. Sometimes, it’s the small things which make the biggest difference. 

When it comes to websites, it’s not always necessary to reinvent the wheel. We can make tweaks to improve your SEO, and content changes to attract more website enquiries. 

At Pumpkin, we’ve built entire websites in just 6 weeks — but that’s unusual! 

For a brand new, tailor-made WordPress website, depending on its complexity, you should expect the process to take around 12-14 weeks. Very complicated sites can take a little longer. 

We’ll give you a timeline and keep you updated. You’ll always know what’s happening, when and why.
