A web design studio from Found First, built for businesses that rely on trust.
Web design for UK businesses
Websites for businesses built on trust
I design affordable websites for businesses where trust wins the work: trades, salons, therapists, law firms and every local service in between. What sets me apart is SEO. I run Found First, so I plan every page around what your customers actually search for, then write the words myself, so your site looks right and gets found on Google, Maps and AI search.

Sound familiar?
Have you ever wanted a proper website, but not known where to start?
You opened a website builder, picked a template, and closed the tab ten minutes later.
Your current site went up years ago, and you would rather customers did not look at it.
People search for exactly what you do. They keep finding someone else first.
I make it simple. One free call, one fixed price and a website you are proud to send people to. You know your business. I handle the words, the design and the technical bits.
Book a free website callWhat a good website does
Most businesses do not need a bigger website. They need one that makes a stranger think, "these people know what they are doing."
It looks credible
Calm layouts, real details and nothing that feels thrown together. First impressions happen in seconds, usually on a phone.
It explains clearly
What you do, where you work, what it costs and what happens next. Visitors should never have to guess.
It earns the enquiry
A button, a form or a phone number waits exactly where a ready customer looks for it.
The Found First difference
Most web designers stop at a nice-looking site. I build yours to bring customers in.
I come from SEO. I have spent more than twelve years working out how people find a business online and what makes them choose it. So I plan every site around the whole journey, from the first search to the first enquiry.
- 01 · Search
They search.
I start with the words your customers really type, like "emergency plumber Bristol" or "balayage near me", and plan your pages around them.
plumber near me - 02 · Find
They find you.
Each service gets its own page, with the titles, headings and schema that help Google, Maps and AI search show it to the right people.
- 03 · Trust
They trust you.
Clear words, honest prices and proof that fits your trade show a visitor that you are the safe choice.
- 04 · Enquire
They get in touch.
Tap-to-call, short forms and fast pages turn a curious visitor into a phone call, a booking or an email.
Tap to call
Nobody can honestly promise rankings. I give your business the best possible chance of being found first.
Who I work with
Websites shaped around your kind of customer
A roofer, a nail artist and a probate solicitor need very different websites. Each of these pages explains what I would build for your world, and why.
Trades and local services
Proof, speed and a phone number that is never more than a thumb away.
Beauty and salons
Menus, galleries and a booking button that sits exactly where people look for it.
Wellness and care
Gentle words, clear fees and an easy first step for someone who is hesitating.
Professional firms
Authority without stiffness, and enough clarity to earn the first consultation.
Creative businesses
The work comes first, and the enquiry form shows up at the right moment.
Something else?
Cafés, coaches, consultants, cleaners. If your customers need to trust you before they get in touch, the same thinking applies.
Prices
Simple, fixed, affordable prices.
Pick the package that fits today. After a free call you get a fixed quote, so the price never creeps up halfway through.

Who is behind this
Hello, I am Dave. I plan, write and build every site myself.
I run Found First, an SEO consultancy for UK businesses. Found First Design grew out of the same work: clients kept asking me to fix websites that looked fine but never brought in enquiries.
So I build websites the way I wish more were built. Short, clear pages. Honest prices. Proof that fits the trade. A design that feels considered rather than templated. And the search structure underneath, done properly from day one.
If you want a big agency with a big retainer, I am not it. If you want an affordable website that makes you look as good as your work, let's talk.
How much does a website cost?
My Starter Website starts at £590 for one page. A Business Website with 3 to 5 pages starts at £1,250, and Website + Visibility starts at £1,750. After a free call I give you a fixed quote, so you know the whole price before I start.
Who will I actually work with?
Me, Dave Bell. I plan the pages, write the words and build the site myself. You will not be handed to an account manager or a junior after the sales call.
Do I need to write anything?
No. I ask you questions about your work and your customers, then I write the copy. You read it, tell me what sounds wrong, and I change it until it sounds like you on a good day.
Will my website show up on Google?
Nobody can honestly promise rankings. What I can promise is a site built the way search engines expect: one clear topic per page, proper titles, schema, fast loading and details that match your Google Business Profile. That gives you the best possible start.
How is this different from a website builder?
A builder gives you the tools and leaves the thinking to you. I do the thinking: what each page should say, what order it goes in, what a nervous customer needs to see before they call. You get the finished result rather than a blank template.
What is the connection with Found First?
Found First Design is the web design studio of Found First, my SEO consultancy. The design work stands on its own, but every site benefits from the same search thinking I use with SEO clients.
