Websites that load in under a second and sell while you sleep.
Simon Says Web Design is a Mansfield-based web designer and SEO specialist. Bespoke WordPress websites engineered for speed, security and clean commercial conversion — plus maintenance, forms and integrations, all handled directly by one experienced UK developer.

A Mansfield web designer for businesses that want more enquiries
A website is only worth having if it brings in work. That is the test I apply to every site I build: does it make it easy for the right person to find you, trust you and get in touch? I’m a one-person web design and SEO business in Mansfield, and I work directly with business owners across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, from electricians and roofers to shops, cafés and professional firms.
Every site is built to order in WordPress, so it’s fast, secure and yours to keep, with your domain, your hosting account and your licences in your own name. The average page on my sites loads in under 0.8 seconds, and I agree a fixed price before any work starts. To see what that looks like in practice, have a look at my recent work, or read how a web design project runs from first call to launch.
Everything managed end to end, never outsourced.
From new builds to ongoing maintenance and complex integrations, across Nottinghamshire and the East Midlands.

What a good small-business website actually does
Most business websites let their owners down for simple reasons. They are slow, they are awkward on a phone, or a visitor can’t tell within a few seconds what you do and how to reach you. Fixing those basics does more than any clever design. A site that works hard usually has:
- A clear first screen. What you do, where you work and how to contact you, without scrolling.
- Fast loading. Slow pages lose visitors before they have read a word.
- A phone-first layout. A tap-to-call number and a short enquiry form that work properly on a small screen.
- Proof. Real reviews, real photos and examples of finished work.
- A page for each service and area, so Google knows what to show you for each search.
That is the approach behind every website I build, and it is why a well-made site keeps working long after launch.
Being found on Google in your own area
Building the site is half the job. The other half is being found. When someone searches for “roofer Mansfield” or “electrician near me”, Google usually shows a map with a few businesses first, then the ordinary results underneath. Getting into that map, and higher up the results below it, is what local SEO means: a properly set-up Google Business Profile, a website with a page for each service and area you cover, and consistent details wherever your business is listed.
I do this work myself. Nobody can honestly promise a top position, because Google decides that, but I can give you the strongest foundations and report on what is changing each month. Local SEO starts from £300 a month on a rolling basis, and there is a national SEO option if you sell across the UK.
Clear prices, agreed before we start
You get a fixed price before any work begins, and payments are staged across a build, so you never pay for work that hasn’t happened yet. As a guide:
- Web design from £850
- WordPress development from £1,200
- Online shops with WooCommerce from £2,400
- Pay-monthly websites from £65 a month, with hosting and support included
- Logo and brand design from £350
- Hosting from £25 a month and website care from £45 a month
Tell me what you need and you’ll get a straight answer on scope and price, usually the same day.
Working together, wherever you are
Everything is done remotely, so it works the same whether you’re in Mansfield or the other side of the county. We talk by phone, WhatsApp, email or video call, and I’m around every day from 09:00 to 21:00. You deal directly with the person designing and building your site, with no account managers and nothing outsourced.
The easiest way to start is a message. Send me a short brief or tap the WhatsApp button, and I’ll come back with a plan and a fixed price.
