TalonInsights Book a Groundwork Visit

Web design in Shrewsbury.

Fifteen miles from my base in Telford, which makes an on-site first meeting easy. Bespoke websites for Shrewsbury's independents, trades and professional firms — fixed price, and yours outright.

  1. 01

    Independent retail & hospitality

    Somewhere that looks as considered as the shop does, loads instantly on a phone, and makes opening hours, location and booking obvious in one glance.

  2. 02

    Trades and makers

    Real photographs of finished work, plainly priced or plainly explained, and structured so Google can tell exactly what you do and where you do it.

  3. 03

    Professional practices

    Solicitors, accountants, consultants — where credibility is the entire product and a dated website quietly undermines it every day.

  4. 04

    Period and listed premises

    If your building is part of the story, the site should show it properly rather than hiding it behind stock photography.

The difference

Run like a project, not a favour.

The common Shrewsbury story is a site half-built by someone's nephew, or an agency that vanished after launch. Both come from the same root cause: no written scope and no dates.

  • A written scope before anything is built — what's included, what isn't, what it costs.
  • Milestone dates you can hold me to. Running projects to time is my profession, not a side effect.
  • You own everything on completion. Domain, code, content, no hostages.
  • A reply within one working day, long after launch.

Built in as standard

  • WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility — most local competitors ignore it entirely.
  • Core Web Vitals targets: LCP < 2.5s, INP < 200ms, CLS < 0.1.
  • LocalBusiness schema so Google understands your trade and your area.
  • Analytics, so you can see whether it's actually working.

Common questions

Shrewsbury, specifically.

Do you travel to Shrewsbury?

Regularly — it's about fifteen miles from Telford. The Groundwork Visit happens at your premises and sits inside the normal £350–£500 range, credited in full against the project if you go ahead.

What does it cost?

£1,500 for a starter site, £3,000–£4,000 for a business site, from £6,000 for custom interactive builds. Published, fixed, and identical wherever you're based. Full pricing.

Can you build an online shop?

For a focused product range, yes — including booking and payment flows, which I've built and run commercially myself. For a large catalogue an established platform is usually the honest answer, and I'd rather tell you that than sell you a build you don't need.

We're not technical at all. Is that a problem?

No — that's most clients. Plain English throughout, and if I can't explain a technical choice in one sentence you'd repeat to someone else, I don't get to make it.
