Isle of Wight web designer
Websites for Isle of Wight businesses. Researched, written, designed, hosted and looked after by someone who lives here.
Maybe your website’s out of date and you keep putting it off. Maybe your last designer went quiet. I’ll help you work out what needs doing and tell you what it will cost. You deal with me directly, here on the Island.
Rebuild from £2,495 + £99/month care. WordPress Rescue: £99/month for 12 months.
Hi, I’m Matt, your Isle of Wight web designer
I live in West Wight, near Totland Bay. I’ve been designing and building websites for local businesses and charities for over 15 years. Long enough to know what matters when someone lands on your site at 9pm on their phone.
These days I run a managed website service for Island businesses. I design your site and host it, keep it secure and make the updates when things change. When you need something done, you message me. That’s the whole relationship.
It’s me from the first conversation through to changes after launch. What I care about is whether your website gives people enough confidence to pick up the phone. You can read more about me and how I work, or send an enquiry.
Helping an Island business find the right words.
Jacob’s one-page Wix website hadn’t kept up with his growing business. For Vectis Home Physio, I researched what potential customers were looking for and planned more useful pages around it.
The new site explains his services and speaks to families arranging care. It also answers the practical questions about fees and home visits.

Why hire a web designer on the Isle of Wight?
Plenty of businesses get pitched by mainland agencies or cheap offshore builders. The site might look fine in a demo. Then you need a change, and you’re waiting three days for a ticket reply about a thirty-second fix.
With an Isle of Wight web designer, you know who built your site and you’ve got a direct line when something needs updating. The person answering also understands how Island businesses actually run: seasonal trade, ferry logistics, word-of-mouth reputation, and customers who check your site on the beach. If you run a café or restaurant, our guides on café websites and restaurant websites cover what those sites need to turn visitors into bookings.
Someone on the Island who answers the phone
No ticket queue, and no account manager on the mainland. You message me and I sort it, usually the same day.
A website built for how people actually find you
Clear pages and plain-English copy, laid out so visitors trust you before they call. Built for phones first, because that's how most people browse.
Looked after from launch
I handle hosting, security and updates. Care includes up to an hour of content changes each month, so if your opening times change or you've got new photos, just tell me.
See the website options and what ongoing care includes on the homepage, or read articles on web design for Island businesses.
How working together works
It’s simple. You get time to give feedback, and we agree the payment stages before any work starts.
Send an enquiry
Tell me about your business, your current website and what you would like to change.
We talk properly
A relaxed chat about your business and your customers, and what the site needs to say to them.
I build, you review
I use the research to write your content and design the site. You review the work along the way and pay at the agreed stages.
You can see the full breakdown of payments and what happens after launch in the prices section of the homepage.
A WordPress website that needs a fresh start?
If the design still works, Rescue moves your existing site to a simpler home and keeps the design and page addresses. It includes hosting and up to an hour of changes each month, at £99/month for 12 months (£1,188 total).
If the business has moved on, Rebuild starts with research and a plan for what the website needs to say. I write the content, design the pages and launch the site for £2,495, with care at £99/month after launch.

Isle of Wight web design: questions I get asked
Straight answers to what people usually want to know before they get in touch.
How much does a web designer on the Isle of Wight cost?
Rescue is £99/month for 12 months (£1,188 total), including hosting and care. Rebuild is £2,495, paid in stages of £495, £1,000 and £1,000. Grow is £2,995, including three months of content. Rebuild and Grow both include mandatory care at £99/month after launch. There is no VAT to add.
Do I need to know WordPress or anything technical?
No. There's no login to look after or software to learn. When your prices change or you want new photos up, contact me by WhatsApp, phone or email. I make the change, usually the same day.
What if my last web designer let me down?
You're not the only one. I've heard about the web guy who took the money and went quiet more times than I can count. That's why we agree the scope and payment stages before work starts, and you review the work along the way. And I live here, in West Wight. You have my number, and I'm not going anywhere.
What's included in the monthly fee?
Care is £99/month after a Rebuild or Grow launch, and is included in Rescue. It covers hosting and up to an hour of changes each month, with me as your point of contact. The full breakdown is on the homepage, alongside the website options.
Do you only work with certain kinds of business?
I work with small businesses across the Island, including cafés, restaurants, salons and tradespeople. If you run another local service, we should talk too. Your website should make it easier for Island customers to find you.
How do I get started?
Send a short enquiry and tell me about your business and website. I'll reply personally within one working day, then we'll have a proper chat. If we're a good fit, we'll agree the right service, scope, timing and payment stages before work starts.
