Better design, a faster site and a real person in Lightwater looking after it, for what you already pay your website builder.
Website builders promise easy changes, but they're often fiddly to use. Small edits take far longer than they should, the design slowly loses consistency, and you're left fixing it in time you don't have. Switching relieves you of all that stress.
Hand-built around your business and designed to look great on every screen, from phones to big desktop monitors. I keep what you like and fix the small things that quietly cost you enquiries.
Pages load quickly, especially on phones, and foundational SEO is done properly, so Google understands what you do and where you do it.
You pay what your current builder charges each month, and you get your own portal for requesting edits.
Your money supports a local business, not a huge corporation, and you deal with one person who knows your site inside out.
Drag the handle on each site to see it before and after the switch.
Plumbers in Sandhurst
“I put off updating my website for so long and was hesitant to share it with customers. Now I share it with pride, and it's generating me a lot more work.”
Glamping site in Herefordshire
“Our website was okay, but making small changes was a nightmare and we didn't realise how bad it was in terms of loading performance until the change.”
Electricians in Wokingham
“We never got round to putting our site live because we were too busy with our day-to-day. Now we have a storefront to share, which is great for word of mouth.”
Events company in Burton
“Our website sells high-end events so it needs to be polished and premium. Rory added that, and more. Direct enquiries have increased 22%.”
The process is the same whichever builder you're on. I do the work and you approve it.
We talk through what you like about your current site and what has been driving you mad. I note the fixes you might not know you need.
A hand-built design that keeps the good parts and fixes the rest. Your old site stays live the whole time.
I move your words, photos and pages across, set up the SEO basics, and send you a preview link to check.
I point your domain at the new site. Your domain and email stay exactly where they are. Then you can cancel your old builder.
Your monthly price is whatever your current website builder charges you today. Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy, Weebly or Duda, the cost stays the same and everything else gets better.
Your domain and email stay with you. Nothing else needs to move.
Online shop or bookings? Those are a separate chat, so get in touch.
I'm a web developer based in Lightwater, Surrey. I started Site Switch because so many local businesses pay every month for a website builder and still have a site that lets them down.
Instead of a ticket number or a chatbot, you get someone local who knows web design and SEO.
No. I build your new site alongside the old one and only switch the domain over once you have approved it. Visitors never see a gap.
They stay exactly where they are, with whoever you registered them with. I just point the domain at your new site, so your email keeps working as normal.
Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy, Weebly, Duda, and most others. The process is the same whichever one you are on.
It matches what your current website builder charges you each month, with a minimum of £10 a month. Send me your current plan and I will confirm the figure before you commit to anything.
You will not need to. You get your own portal for requesting edits: tell me what you want changed and I will do it.
Changes to your existing pages are covered by your edits portal. Brand new pages or new content are charged as and when you need them, at a very reasonable rate. If it is a quick and easy addition, I will often do it free of charge, at my discretion.
Once the new site is live I will tell you it is safe to cancel. Check your plan first, as some builders bill yearly in advance.
Sometimes, but they are priced separately because every business needs something different. Get in touch and we can talk it through.
Yes, 12 months. After that you can stay month to month, and if you ever decide to leave, the site is yours: I will hand over everything you need to keep it running elsewhere.
Send me your current website and I'll come back with the things I'd fix, whether or not you switch.
