Hello and welcome to Gammons Take. 

It doesn't matter whether you have a computer or use email or not, your customers do! 

Any business that does not have a website is losing potential business because not only will customers not be able to find out that you exist and about the services that you offer, but also they will doubt that you are legitimate business. 

We are based in Somerset, and specialise in providing simple and effective websites and hosting for small to medium businesses at very competitive rates. 

Although we are website specialists, what makes us different is that our background is in marketing and design and so you'll be relieved to find that we talk plain English not computer jargon!

Whatever your budget, we can help.  We listen to our customers and put their needs first, we work hard and we can work to tight deadlines but we also have a good sense of humour! 

We pride ourselves on our professionalism and we also like to make acquiring a website as pleasant and stress-free an experience as possible for our clients.

I’m a friendly website designer based in Somerset who specialises in providing effective websites for small to medium sized businesses at reasonable prices.

I can create the perfect website for your business from scratch or take over and improve your existing website.

If you wish to be able to update your website yourself I can build it using the popular Wix or Weebly drag and drop editors. I am also an expert in using WordPress for web design.  I will provide full training and ongoing support. 

If you prefer me to update your website for you on an as-and-when basis this can be arranged too. 

All my websites include as standard

• PURCHASE OR ADMINISTRATION OF A DOMAIN NAME FOR YOUR BUSINESS - This is your website address and the bit that goes after www on a website, or the @ in an email address. My domain name is gammonstake.co.uk. If you already own a domain name I can do the admin and tech stuff to ensure it connects to your new website.
• THE FIRST YEAR OF HOSTING YOUR WEBSITE - To be visible your website's files need to reside on a web server.  Hosting is providing the rented space for your files so that your website' pages are visible.  After the first year there is an annual charge for hosting.  (I also offer hosting as a standalone service if you already have a website.) 
• RESPONSIVE DESIGN - This means that it will look great and work well whether customers are looking at your website on a large desktop screen, a tablet, a mobile phone or anything in between. 
• SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMISATION (SEO) - Simply put, tinkering with the order of the text, images and code in your website to ensure that search engines are able to find your website and rank you highly in search results when people search for the words relevant to your business. 
• SSL CERTIFICATION - An SSL certificate is a type of digital certificate that provides authentication for a website and enables an encrypted connection.   SSL certificates are what enable websites to use HTTPs at the beginning of their address which is more secure than HTTP and preferred by Google. 
• GOOGLE ANALYTICS - A small piece of code inserted into the background of your website which produces statistics about the visitors to your site. 
• EMAIL FORWARDING - Setting up a new email address for your domain which forward to your existing email address. 
• LINKS TO YOUR EMAIL, PHONE AND WHATSAPP - So people can contact you at the click of a mouse. 
• LINKS TO YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS - if you have Facebook or Twitter accounts we can have buttons directing visitors to these.
• EMBEDDED GOOGLE MAP - So your customers/clients can see your location if this is relevant to your business, and then click on the map for directions. 

Yes I can help with web design but I can also help, and save you time and money, by introducing you to experts I have good relationships with, who provide a range of other services that may be useful to you. If you prefer I can even liaise on your behalf. 

I prefer to work with smaller friendlier providers, all honest, hardworking and brilliant, who can provide excellent tailored advice and a more personal service at good value prices.  

My contacts write press releases, provide advice, research, reports and support to help businesses of all sizes achieve their aims, whether they want to become more profitable, develop new products, research ideas, get more publicity through the media, attract more visitors or arrange events.

They can help you plan your next steps and guarantee that they will always go the extra mile.

You may have some great quality photographs of your own for all your website and marketing needs?

Perhaps you are happy to purchase stock photographs?   

A picture is worth a thousand words, and you may want to treat your business to some professional photography to capture its character and help it stand out from the competition. I can help by putting you in touch with a brilliant photographer. 

Are you looking for someone who is highly experienced, hugely efficient and good value for money? I can help!

My contact will work with you on a strategy then to provide relevant and engaging content for your Social Media streams.  

They offer a flexible, professional social media management service that is tailored specifically to your needs, whether by the hour, day, week or month.

Do you want to create a whole new brand for your business which will feature across your website, business stationery, the side of your van, etc?

Or maybe you need just need some promotional leaflets, or new business cards

Either way, get in touch, I can help you with both the designing and organising the printing for you at great rates. 

Videos and aerial photography has risen in popularity over the last few years as these can be great ways of getting a lot of information across quickly.  This is important online as people browsing the internet have short attention spans.  

I have a contact who offers competitively priced video production & aerial footage to showcase your business and keep your online viewers engaged.
