Stonehill Web Co.
We design and build websites for businesses, one stone at a time, so the people looking for you find the way in.
Recent work
Five sites for businesses that live on phone calls and trust. Four are free concepts made for roofing firms around Hull, and one is a product concept.
Hikers stack stones on a trail so the next person knows which way to go. A good business website does the same job. It tells a stranger what you do, shows them it is real, and points them to the door. That is all we build, and we build it carefully.
What we build
Everything a small business needs to be found, trusted and contacted online, from one studio.
New websites
A site designed and built from scratch: the pages, the words, the photos plan and the code. Built to load fast on a phone and to be found on Google.
- Page structure and copy
- Custom design
- Mobile first build
- Search basics
Redesigns
For sites that look dated, break on phones or bury the phone number. We keep what works, fix what does not, and move your content across.
- Audit of the old site
- Content moved and rewritten
- Redirects so search rankings carry over
Booking and ordering
Appointments, pre-orders, quote requests and enquiry forms that ask the right questions, so the messages you get are ready to act on.
- Online booking
- Order and deposit forms
- Quote and enquiry flows
Words and structure
Most visitors decide in a few seconds. We write the pages in plain language your customers use, and put the answers to their questions where they look first.
- Copywriting
- Service and location pages
- Calls to action that match how you work
Found on Google
The basics done properly: page titles, local listings, a Google Business Profile that matches your site, and pages for the towns you serve.
- On-page search setup
- Google Business Profile
- Analytics you can read
Care after launch
Updates, fixes, backups and small changes each month, so the site stays current without you learning to code.
- Hosting and backups
- Monthly edits
- Security updates
How a site gets built
Step 1: Survey
We start with your customers. What they search for, what they ask on the phone, what makes them pick you over the shop down the road.
Step 2: Foundation
A sitemap, the words and a plan for photos before any design. Most weak websites are weak here, not in the colors.
Step 3: Build
Design and code by the same hands. Fast pages, readable on a phone in bright sunlight, simple for you to update.
Step 4: Mark the trail
Launch, search listings, analytics you can read, and a check-in a month later to fix what real visitors trip over.

Questions owners ask
Something else on your mind? Ask us directly.
How much does a website cost?
It depends on the number of pages and whether you need booking, ordering or a shop. Every project gets a fixed quote after the first call, so you know the full price before we start.
How long does it take?
Most small business sites take four to eight weeks from the first call to launch. The biggest factor is usually how quickly the words and photos come together.
Will I be able to update it myself?
Yes. Opening hours, menus, prices, photos and news are set up so you can change them from your phone. Bigger changes are covered by a care plan or a one-off fix.
Who owns the website?
You do. The domain, the content and the site are yours, and if you ever move on, you take everything with you.
Do you handle hosting and the domain?
We can set up and look after both, or work with what you already have. Either way, the accounts stay in your name.
I already have a site. Can you just fix it?
Often, yes. If the foundation is sound we will improve what is there. If it would cost more to patch than to rebuild, we will tell you that plainly.
Do you write the words and take photos?
We write and edit the copy with you. For photos we plan the shots you need and can recommend local photographers, or work with what you have.
