Your website should be bringing you customers, not costing you them.

Website costs in Devon typically range from a few hundred pounds for a basic template build to several thousand for a fully bespoke site. At MidDevon Digital our websites start from £495, and that includes the design, the build, local SEO foundations, hosting and ongoing support. We give every client a clear itemised quote before any work starts, so you know exactly what you are paying for and what is included. There are no setup fees hidden in the small print and no annual renewal shocks.

Most of our websites go live within four to five weeks of the first briefing. That covers the discovery conversation, the design phase, your revisions and the final checks before launch. If you already have your content, photography and a clear idea of what you need, it can be quicker. If you need help writing the content or sorting out photography, it may take a little longer, and we will tell you that upfront rather than promising a date we cannot meet.

A well-built website gives you the foundation, but SEO is what helps people actually find it. Every site we build includes local SEO basics as standard, which means proper page titles, descriptions, schema markup and Google Business Profile alignment. That gets you off to the best possible start. Ongoing SEO work builds on that over time, improving your rankings as competition changes and search behaviour shifts. Most businesses find the combination works better than either on its own.

DIY builders make it easy to get a website looking reasonable, and for some businesses that is enough. The problem is that looking good and being found are two very different things. Most people building their own site have no reason to know how SEO works, how a site should be structured for search, what schema markup does, or why page titles and headings matter. The result is often a site that looks perfectly smart but sits there quietly doing nothing, because nobody can find it.

That is the gap we fill. We handle the structure, the local SEO foundations, the schema markup and the technical setup that most DIY sites miss entirely, and we stay involved afterwards with hosting, updates and support. If you have the time and the interest to learn all of that yourself, genuinely, go for it. If you would rather spend that time running your business, that is where we come in.

Yes, and we do this regularly. We maintain, update and improve sites built on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, Duda and most other platforms. If your original developer has moved on, gone quiet, or you simply want someone reliable keeping an eye on things, get in touch. We can take over maintenance, improve your SEO, or rebuild the site entirely depending on what makes sense for your situation.

Local visibility comes down to three things working together. Your Google Business Profile needs to be complete, accurate and active. Your website needs proper local signals, which means location-specific content, schema markup and consistent business details. And your business information needs to be consistent everywhere it appears online. We handle all three as part of our SEO work. It is worth knowing that this takes time. Google needs to crawl and assess your site before rankings improve, so this is a matter of weeks and months rather than days.

They might, and it matters more every year. AI tools pull recommendations from businesses with clear structured content, consistent information across the web, and credible online presence. If your business has thin content, inconsistent details or no schema markup, you are unlikely to appear in those answers. We build with AI visibility in mind and include GEO and AEO work in our SEO packages as standard. We also offer a free AI Visibility Audit that shows you exactly where your business currently stands.

No. We do not tie clients into long contracts and we never have. Our hosting and support plans are monthly and you can leave whenever you want. SEO packages are monthly too, though we will be honest and tell you that SEO needs a few months to show meaningful results, so leaving after four weeks is unlikely to give you a fair picture. We would rather you stayed because the work is good, not because you are locked in.

Peter, directly. Every project at MidDevon Digital is handled personally by Peter Teal from the first conversation through to launch and beyond. There are no account managers, no junior designers and no subcontractors. If you ring 01392 346700 or email, you get Peter. That is deliberate, and it is one of the main reasons clients choose a small local agency over a larger one.

Yes, and the two work together rather than replacing each other. A Google Business Profile is excellent for local visibility but you do not control it and it only shows limited information. Social media reaches people but the platforms own the audience and the algorithms change constantly. Your website is the only part of your online presence you actually own and control. It is also what Google, AI tools and potential customers check when they want to know whether a business is credible.
