Typically, my clients are located in and around Surrey and Sussex, although clients from the USA have used my services.


Whether you’re just starting out on a new venture as a sole trader or you're a small-to-medium sized business, or you feel it’s time for a refresh of your current website, I understand that your website is one of your most important business assets. You need a trusted web designer who can bring your vision to life and design and build your business website which focuses on your customers.

The most common questions I get asked

Each website is unique, just like the business or service it represents. The cost of your website will vary based on your specific requirements. Several factors that can affect the price include:

  • The complexity of the design—whether it’s straightforward or intricate
  • The number of pages required
  • The need for an e-commerce platform
  • The integration of third-party services, such as Acuity Scheduling, and whether you would like assistance in setting them up


As a result, each website project is priced on an individual basis. If you'd like to get a rough idea of costs, then why not use my online website cost estimator.

The timeline largely depends on your specific needs and the complexity of the website. If your website is relatively straightforward with only a few pages, you should allow at least three weeks for completion. However, more complex websites may take up to eight weeks, accommodating time for you to request revisions to the layout as well as the integration of all text and graphics.

The most effective approach to developing your website will ultimately depend on your unique and specific needs. To ensure I have a thorough understanding of your requirements, I ask that you complete my Website Creative Brief. This detailed questionnaire will provide me with valuable insights that will help me determine the most suitable platform for building your website, whether that be WordPress paired with Elementor Pro or my WebHub System.

WebHub is tailored for less technically complex websites, making it a terrific option for individuals or businesses looking for a high-performing site that is easy to manage and navigate. WebHub is almost always faster in response times than a WordPress website due to how it delivers your website content.


In contrast, WordPress is a good choice for more complex websites that have a need for additional functionality through various plugins. This makes it particularly well-suited for projects that may require features like membership systems.

Regardless of the platform, all websites will be hosted on fast servers equipped with caching technology to enhance overall performance. However, it's important to note that WebHub websites, due to their streamlined design and the absence of the additional overhead typically associated with WordPress, tend to operate at an inherently faster speed. This distinction can make a significant difference in user experience, ensuring that your visitors engage with a website that loads quickly and operates smoothly.

To ensure that your website has the opportunity to be prominently featured in search engine listings, it is essential to implement a process known as Search Engine Optimisation, commonly referred to as SEO. This critical strategy involves optimising various elements of your website and its individual pages to improve visibility and ranking within search results.

SEO is a multifaceted and intricate subject, encompassing a wide range of variables and factors that can significantly impact the performance of any website. When your website is designed and built it will incorporate foundational SEO techniques to set you on the right path—and in most cases, this is more than adequate. However, if you are seeking more in-depth and advanced SEO strategies tailored to elevate your website’s presence in a competitive digital landscape, it may be advisable to consider enlisting the expertise of an SEO specialist.

As you will probably be aware, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is on the rise. Whilst some platforms claim to be able to build your website entirely using AI from just a few prompts of information from you, AI will not be used in this manner for your new website. Your website will be built by me and not AI. For WordPress based websites, the ability to use AI is limited, however, there are elements of AI that I do use during the website build using my WebHub system.  For example, AI can be used to remove artifacts from images or if you wish to improve the readability of any text you supply. AI is also used to help with the SEO of your website where appropriate.

Websites by Dave Parker is located in the town of Redhill, Surrey, and operates from the comfort of my home. This enables me to maintain significantly lower overhead costs compared to businesses that need to manage traditional office spaces. By eliminating these additional expenses, the savings are passed on directly to you, allowing high-quality services at more affordable prices.

Regardless of whether you are situated in Surrey, Sussex, or even further afield, it would be a pleasure to assist you in designing and building your website. Your online presence is crucial, and I am dedicated to creating a tailored solution that meets your needs and exceeds your expectations.
