Hi – I’m Pete Wright. I’ve been building websites since 1996, and building businesses since 1989. Since 2005, I’ve specialised in providing cost-effective web services for small firms. Before that, I mentored award-winning tech support teams for several major ISPs.

Competing online takes more than just getting online. You’ll need cost-effective, experienced online marketing help. You just found it.

Since 2005, I’ve specialised in helping small firms, micro-businesses, startups and charities. So Netcentrics.co.uk offers professional website design, web development and web consultancy for SMEs. Based in Newport, I mostly serve Cardiff, Bristol, South Wales and the Southwest, but have clients across the UK.

Specifically, I help small firms reduce risk and increase ROI through a wide range of professional web design and digital marketing services. Because cost-effective and safe beats cheap and risky.

I don’t just build websites. I solve problems to help small businesses grow online.

Still, here’s why my support is truly unique:

Having specialised in supporting small startups for almost 20 years, I can help with far more than just building websites, SEO, content, email and video marketing. Unlike most agency staff and other freelance designers, I have run small businesses for over 35 years.

My first was an independent high-street shop. Then I moved on to mentor award-winning tech support teams for several of the UK’s first major ISPs, at a time when that required a deep understanding of how all the tech worked. Because when I started building websites in 1996, under 500,000 existed.

As a few folks have said in network meetings, “Oh wow — you’re one of the originals!”

Yes, I suppose I am — and it makes a difference. That’s why I can help you solve problems most agency staff and other freelance designers have never experienced.

Budget Web Design

Small Business Website Design on a Budget

Every small business owner wants to make every penny count. However, most cheap web design packages underperform, increasing the risks to your business. Still, having specialised in helping small businesses since 2005, I understand budgets sometimes limit the best intentions — and finance isn’t always an option. So my budget web design package helps to mitigate the risks associated with most cheap web design packages.

Budget SEO

Want to get started with SEO but feel even a flexible Starter SEO Plus package would stretch your budget? I hear you. That’s what the budget SEO package below is for.

First, though let’s be very clear about a few things:

• “Cutting costs” on marketing (or any sound investment) actually costs you more through missed sales.
• Many SMEs spend thousands per month on SEO, specifically to stay ahead of those who don’t see the value of it. They wouldn’t do that if it didn’t make them more money than they invest, but you can’t expect to get far by doing far less than your competitors.
• SEO isn’t a short-term tactic — even with big budgets, it generally takes 6-12 months to start seeing results. Some of that is by design — search engines want to promote trustworthy sites, and that trust builds slowly.
• SEO won’t work unless you persevere with it. You’re competing for search positioning and sales, and your competitors are already ahead of you. SEO is the accelerator pedal, but tapping it lightly and occasionally won’t catch up with anyone, let alone overtake. Light, persistent pressure will eventually get ahead of those who aren’t accelerating faster, but the slower you accelerate, the longer that will take.

Content Marketing for Small Businesses

Content marketing builds trust and attracts visitors by offering valuable content that entertains, inspires or educates them. People buy from those they know, like and trust. So content marketing increases sales.

Online, SEO makes content marketing even more powerful. Compared to less active sites, those that post new content regularly tend to get:

• Twice as many backlinks
• Twice as many sales leads
• More social followers
• Better search rankings

People rarely link to product and service pages, or to old content. So, it’s vital to add interesting and link-worthy articles regularly — whether on a blog, a news page, or as standalone pages.

Search engines prefer web pages with at least 300 words of text content and an image. Longer articles (1000+ words) and larger sites tend to do better in search.

Put simply: regularly publishing interesting, valuable, well-written content boosts sales.
