What’s the Point of a Pretty Website If No One Finds It?
Most web designers focus on how a site looks. Fonts, colours, layouts. And that stuff does matter. But if your website isn’t built with SEO in mind, it’s not going to get found.
Not in Google. Not in Maps. Not by the people who are actually looking for what you offer.
And even if it does show up, that’s only half the job. If it loads slowly, isn’t mobile-friendly, or doesn’t guide visitors to take the next step, you’re still losing business.
The other problem is cost. Truly custom websites can run into the thousands, which is simply out of reach for a lot of small businesses.
That’s why I build websites that are Built to Rank. Not just to look good, but to get found, load fast and turn visitors into real enquiries.
Looks Great and Ranks Quickly
My websites are built to rank, with SEO baked in from the very start, not bolted on later.
You won’t find bloated templates, inflated prices or fluffy agency jargon here. Just clean, fast, search-optimised websites that are designed to do a job: help your business grow.
Every site looks good, of course. But more importantly, it’s built to get found by the people who are actually searching for what you offer.
Whether you’re launching something new or replacing a site that isn’t pulling its weight, this gives you a simple, cost-effective way to get online with confidence.
You get the fundamentals done properly: smart structure, fast load times, mobile optimisation and the technical SEO foundations that help Google take your site seriously.
And it’s all offered in a clear, three-tier setup, so you only pay for what you actually need and nothing you don’t.
What You'll Actually Get
This isn’t just another website. It’s your business’s online engine, built to be fast, easy to find and ready to grow with you.
The first and most important thing you’ll notice is visibility. Your site is built to show up where your customers are already searching, not sit quietly in the background. And when people do land on it, it’s designed to turn that attention into action, with clear messaging and structure that drives clicks, calls and enquiries, not just “traffic”.
Performance is baked in from the start. Your site will be fast, mobile-first and easy to use, which keeps both Google and your customers happy.
Under the hood, everything is set up properly. You get a solid SEO foundation with clean technical setup, sensible keyword targeting and a structure that helps search engines understand and trust your site.
It also looks the part. The design is clean, professional and built to inspire confidence from the moment someone lands on the page.
Your site is built with WordPress and Elementor, so it’s easy to edit, easy to expand and you stay in control. There are no contracts or retainers, just a clear one-off price for a site that’s designed to support your business for the long term.
And to keep things simple, hosting and your domain can be sorted for you too, so there are no technical headaches or extra subscriptions to worry about.
Why Work With Me?
There are thousands of web designers out there, from agencies charging £5,000+ to people spinning up generic templates in a day. But my approach is different.
This is for small businesses that want a proper website. Something that looks good, performs well and actually gets found, without the eye-watering price tag.
You’ll work directly with me from start to finish, combining professional web design with real SEO built in from day one. I keep everything straightforward, transparent and jargon-free, and you’ll fully own your WordPress and Elementor site so you can edit or expand it whenever you like.
There’s no lock-in and no ongoing commitment. Just a solid website, built properly, with support available if and when you need it.

I’ve had an excellent experience working with Rob Haggan at PEAK SEO. From the very start, Rob was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely focused on helping the business improve its online presence. What really sets Rob apart is his clear communication and personalised approach, he doesn’t hide behind jargon or confusing reports; instead, he explains everything in practical terms. Rob's transparent pricing and flexible services were refreshing, there were no long-term contracts or hidden fees, just a service that’s tailored to what I needed.Posted on Google![]()

Rob is building my hairdressing business website for me and I’m really impressed with what he’s done so far. I had no idea what I wanted to begin with, but he’s come up with so many great ideas and kept me informed throughout the whole process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Not sure how it all works? Here are the answers to the most common questions.
-
Do you only build websites in WordPress?
I can work with platforms like Wix and Squarespace if you already have a site there. However, I strongly recommend WordPress (with Elementor) for most businesses. It’s more flexible, better for SEO, easier to scale as your business grows and you fully own it. It also avoids the platform limitations that often hold sites back when you want to improve performance or rankings later.
-
Is this a one-off cost or a monthly fee?
Your website is a one-off cost. There are no contracts and no ongoing fees for the build itself. All packages include 12 months of UK hosting. When that’s up, you can either renew hosting with me or move your site to any other host you like. You’re never locked in.
-
Do I own the website when it’s finished?
Yes. 100%. The site is yours. You can edit it, move it, expand it or hand it to another developer if you ever want to. There’s no platform lock-in and no “you can’t leave” nonsense.
-
Can you look after the site for me after it’s launched?
Yes. I offer ongoing support, maintenance and SEO if you want it. Some clients just want a great site and manage it themselves. Others want me to keep improving it, adding content and growing visibility. You can choose what level of help you want.
-
Can you also help me get more traffic and enquiries?
Absolutely. All sites are built with SEO in mind from day one, and I also offer Pay As You Go SEO and ongoing SEO packages. Many clients start with a new site and then use SEO to grow traffic, rankings and enquiries over time.
-
How long does a website usually take to build?
Most sites take between 3 and 6 weeks depending on the size of the project and how quickly content and feedback come back. I’ll give you a clear timeline at the start so you know exactly what to expect.
