Professional WordPress websites for small businesses in Wigan. Hand-coded by a real Wigan agency at WN3 5AT — mobile-first, SEO-ready, and built to generate enquiries from day one. Sole traders, small teams, growing businesses. From £749 one-off — no platform fees, no nonsense.
Most Wigan small businesses get burned twice — once by a builder-bloat template, then again paying to fix it. We’ve built Mako specifically to stop that.
Most Wigan small businesses have been burned by cheap websites that look cheap — drag-and-drop templates with no SEO, no schema, no thought. From £749 you get a hand-coded WordPress site, mobile-first, with proper SEO baked in. Same architecture we use on our biggest builds — just scoped to one page or five instead of fifty.
A small business website should ring the phone. Click-to-call, contact forms, clear CTAs above the fold, fast load times, mobile-first layout, LocalBusiness schema. Every signal Google uses to push you up local results is built in before launch — not bolted on as a £749 extra later.
If you need a professional website that converts visitors into enquiries — without paying London agency rates — you’re in the right place.
Plumbers, electricians, builders, roofers, joiners, landscapers. A clean fast site with services, area covered, and click-to-call is all most small trades need. Local SEO does the rest. From £749.
Cafés, restaurants, pubs, salons, barbers, independent shops. Customers Google you before they walk in. Your site needs to give them confidence and the right info — opening hours, menu, photos, location. We make that easy.
Cleaners, dog groomers, driving instructors, personal trainers, accountants, consultants, mortgage brokers. Trust matters — a professional site is your first interview. Built to convert, not just exist.
Fixed prices, agreed before work starts. No estimates that grow halfway through. Pick the size that fits today — upgrade later if you scale.
Single-page WordPress site for sole traders & small services. Live in 48–72 hours.
Multi-page WordPress for businesses with several services. Best fit for most Wigan SMEs.
Bespoke WordPress builds for established businesses with specific needs. Quoted before work starts.
Not the design awards. Not the animations. The six things that turn a Wigan small business website from a brochure into a phone-ringing, enquiry-generating asset.
Most cheap small business sites fail at three or four of these. We build all six in from day one — on a £749 build and on our biggest builds. Same architecture, just scoped to size.
Built for the phone first, scaled to desktop second. Most Wigan local searches happen on mobile — if your site doesn’t work properly on a phone, you’ve lost the enquiry before they’ve scrolled. We test on real devices, not just emulators.
Hand-coded HTML, optimised images, lazy loading, no page-builder bloat. We target LCP < 2.5s, CLS < 0.1, INP < 200ms — the three Core Web Vitals Google has used as a direct ranking factor since 2021.
JSON-LD with your name, address, postcode, phone, opening hours, service area, geo coordinates and aggregate rating. The single biggest local-ranking signal most cheap sites skip entirely. Built into every site we ship.
Click-to-call phone number visible above the fold on mobile. Contact form that emails you instantly. Email link. WhatsApp button if relevant. One-tap actions, not buried menus. The phone should ring within seconds of someone landing on your site.
Proper H1 → H2 → H3 hierarchy, descriptive title tags, keyword-targeted meta descriptions, alt text on every image. Google reads structure — not just words. Most cheap sites get this completely wrong.
Hand-coded WordPress — no proprietary builder, no lock-in, no subscription required to change a phone number. You log in, edit text, swap images, update opening hours. 30 minutes of free training included so you’re never paying us £50 to fix a typo.
We use this exact architecture we use on our own site — same playbook, different business. Want ongoing SEO work? Optional local SEO plans from £225/month on a 12-month plan. Most small businesses don’t need them straight away — foundations first, then growth.
Both started as small business website projects. Both still live. One scaled into a custom multi-cluster SEO machine, the other into a full WooCommerce e-commerce site. Same Wigan agency, two very different growth paths.
A Wigan small business that grew. Started with a simple WordPress build, scaled into a full custom site with 80+ bespoke PHP templates, six service clusters, 49 sub-service anchor pages, and a 10-location regional SEO network across the North West. The path most small businesses can take if the foundation is built right.
Independent Wigan small business — raw dog food retailer with loyal local following. Complete WooCommerce redesign: custom "feedumraw" theme replacing Petio + Elementor, brand taxonomy filter, Subscribe & Save, Click & Collect, zero-downtime swap. Proper small-business e-commerce done right.
Honest answers to the questions every Wigan small business owner asks before booking. No fluff.
A one-page WordPress site is £749 fixed. A five-page small business build is £749. Business websites from £2,499.99. SEO retainers from £225/month on a 12-month plan if you want ongoing ranking work. All prices fixed before work starts — no estimates that grow halfway through. Most Wigan small businesses start with the one-page build and upgrade to five-page or custom as they scale.
It depends on your business. A one-page site works for sole traders, trades, and service businesses that just need a clean professional online presence with phone, services, and contact form. If you offer multiple services, cover multiple Wigan towns, or want to rank for several search terms, a five-page or custom site gives you far more to work with. We'll tell you straight which one fits — no upselling for the sake of it.
A one-page site is typically live in around 2 weeks from when we have your logo, brand colours, copy, and contact details. A five-page build takes 1–2 weeks. Custom multi-page sites take 2–4 weeks depending on scope. We're Wigan-based so back-and-forth is fast — phone, email, or walk-in by appointment to our WN3 5AT office.
Yes — every site is built mobile-first. We start with the phone layout and scale up to desktop, not the other way around. Most Wigan local searches happen on phones, so mobile performance isn't optional. We test on real devices, target Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP), and Google indexes the mobile version of your site as the default — so it's built for the way people actually search.
Yes. Every site is hand-coded WordPress — no page-builder lock-in, no proprietary system. We give you a 30-minute walkthrough at handover and a written guide so you can update text, swap images, change opening hours, and add news posts yourself. For anything bigger we're a phone call away on 01942 644870 — direct line, no ticket queues.
Yes. Hosting and care: 12 months included, then £99.99/year — includes SSL, daily backups, security monitoring, plugin updates, and minor content edits. If you want hands-off so you can focus on running your business, the support plans are designed for exactly that. No lock-in.
Same network, different angle. Pick whichever route matches what you’re actually looking for.
