Ludlow website Design
Website design for small businesses
WILDCURRANT MARKETNG
Small business websites built with SEO to you get found on Google & AI and that turn your website visitors into enquiries.
Based in Ludlow, on the Shropshire/Herefordshire borders, and working with small business owners across the UK.
It was the best money I ever spent and I have been recommending Wildcurrant to my fellow entrepreneurs.
The number of clients coming to Night Nannies has increased by about 25-30% in past 4 months since I contacted Melissa and I totally attribute that to her wisdom.
Melissa went above and beyond to produce a website of the highest standard
The new website visually is absolutely fantastic but more importantly it is user friendly, optimised well and the SEO is already working its magic. Almost instantly I was noticing more enquiries coming through the website.
WEBSITE IN A WEEK. WITH/WITHOUT SEO
A focused 5-page WordPress website built in one working week. SEO-ready foundations included, with the option to add full SEO within the build or later.
Bespoke WordPress + Advanced SEO (inclUDING AI VISIBILITY)
A bespoke WordPress website built over 4 -6 weeks, with keyword + competitor research and advanced SEO to structure the site for AI visibility.
SHOPIFY + KLAVIO EMAIL MARKETING SET UP
A conversion-led Shopify build delivered over 4 weeks (5 weeks if adding Klavio email flows), set up for smooth selling and easy management.
Wildcurrant created a website that not only looks beautiful but also fulfils all the technical criteria we needed.
Melissa has helped enormously in the development of our fledgling business, by working tirelessly and expertly to rebuild our website and really make it work for us.
We contacted Melissa to help us design a new website for our new Luxury Holiday let.
Melissa listened to all of our ideas and was able to create the perfect website to help us showcase our property. Melissa thought of things that I hadn’t even considered.
A great initial website created by Wildcurrant to start our business a couple of years ago…
We recently updated and expanded the site with Melissa’s help, guidance and savvy advice, and now have more customers and enquiries than ever! It’s definitely working for us.
