Website Creation - A Website That Does Justice to Your Business
Your website is often the first impression someone gets of your business. It needs to look professional, load quickly, be easy to navigate, and tell visitors exactly what you do and why they should choose you — all within a few seconds. That's a lot to get right.
Whether you're starting from scratch or your current site is overdue a complete rebuild, we create websites that look great and work even better. We handle everything from design and copy to SEO setup and launch — so you end up with a website you're proud to share, without the headache of doing it yourself.
We primarily build on Squarespace and WordPress, and we work with small businesses across Essex, Hertfordshire, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, and beyond.
What's Included
• Initial consultation - understanding your business, your audience, and what you need from your site
• Website design - clean, professional layouts tailored to your brand
• Copywriting - page copy written for you, or working with content you provide
• Mobile optimisation - your site will look great on every device
• SEO foundations - page titles, meta descriptions, image alt text, and URL structure set up correctly from day one
• Contact forms, booking integrations, and third-party tool setup
• E-commerce setup - product pages, payment gateways, and shop functionality if needed
• Domain and hosting setup - or connection to your existing domain
• Google Analytics and Search Console setup
• Training - a walkthrough so you know how to manage and update your site going forward
• Post-launch support - we don't disappear once your site goes live
Platforms We Build On
• Squarespace - ideal for service businesses, professional portfolios, and small e-commerce stores. Easy to manage yourself once it's built.
• WordPress - more flexible and powerful for content-heavy sites, blogs, or businesses that need advanced functionality.

Why Choose The Social Sphere for Website Creation?
We're not a traditional web agency. We're a small business support team that understands what small businesses actually need from a website - and what they don't. We won't sell you features you'll never use or charge agency prices for a five-page site. We build what's right for your business, at a price that makes sense.
Because we also offer copywriting, SEO, social media, and ongoing website management, we can take care of everything before, during, and after your launch. You don't need to manage multiple suppliers - we've got it.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Most small business websites take between three and six weeks from brief to launch, depending on complexity and how quickly content and feedback is turned around. We'll give you a realistic timeline at the start of the project.
-
Not necessarily. We offer copywriting as part of our website creation service, so we can write all the page copy for you. You'll need to provide some information about your business, but we'll ask the right questions to get what we need. If you'd rather provide your own copy, that works too.
-
Yes. If you already have a website that isn't working for you - whether it looks dated, doesn't convert visitors, or you've just outgrown it - we can rebuild and redesign it. We'll move across any content you want to keep.
-
Yes, and we'll make sure you know how. Both Squarespace and WordPress have user-friendly editors for day-to-day content changes. We'll give you a walkthrough before handover so you're comfortable managing it. If you'd rather not deal with it yourself, we offer ongoing website management too.
-
Yes - all our websites are built with SEO foundations in place: proper page titles, meta descriptions, alt text on images, clean URL structures, and Google Analytics connected. This doesn't guarantee immediate rankings, but it means you're starting in the right place. Ongoing SEO is a separate service.
-
It depends on the size and complexity of the project. A straightforward five-page service site will cost less than a multi-page e-commerce store. Get in touch and we'll give you a clear, honest quote based on what you actually need.
-
We offer a post-launch support period to catch any issues, and we're available for ongoing website management if you need it. We're not the kind of agency that hands over a finished site and disappears - we build long-term relationships with our clients.
