Ipswich is Suffolk's county town, and it's going through a genuine period of renewal. The Wet Dock — one of the oldest wet docks in the world — has been transformed into a waterfront quarter of restaurants, offices, and apartments. The University of Suffolk has brought a young professional community into the centre. Beyond the waterfront, the town has a broad and varied economy: professional and financial services, food and hospitality, retail, logistics, and a growing technology and creative sector.
Fresh Slate Design builds WordPress websites for Ipswich businesses that are professionally made, fast, and set up to rank for the terms that bring in local and regional customers. No fuss, no overcomplication — just a site that works.
Three services, fixed prices, no hidden extras. Everything your Ipswich business needs from a website.
A custom WordPress website built for your business — not a template designed for everyone. Includes 5–8 pages, mobile-responsive design, basic on-page SEO, contact form, Google Analytics, and speed optimisation. Two rounds of revisions included.
Ipswich has a wide mix of businesses that need effective websites: accountancy and legal firms, restaurants and bars around the waterfront, independent retailers, construction and trades companies, tech startups, healthcare practices, consultancies, and charities. Whatever your sector, the site is built around your customers — not copied from a template designed for a different industry.

For Ipswich businesses selling online — WooCommerce gives you a fully-featured online shop built on WordPress, flexible, owned by you, and not subject to the fees and restrictions of a hosted marketplace. Includes Stripe and PayPal, shipping setup, and up to 30 products.
Your website is a business asset. A maintenance plan keeps it secure, fast, and up to date — so you can focus on running your Ipswich business rather than worrying about what's happening in the background.
I'm not a large agency juggling dozens of clients. I take on a limited number of projects at a time to give each one proper attention — and I deal with you directly from first conversation to launch.
WordPress powers over 40% of all websites on the internet. I build on it exclusively — so you get real expertise, not a surface-level familiarity spread across multiple platforms.
You receive a written quote with a clear scope before any work starts. The price agreed is the price you pay — no surprises when the invoice arrives.
Most sites go live within 2–3 weeks of the project starting. No agency queues, no account managers adding time to every step.
Maintenance plans and hourly additional work available after launch — you're never left to figure things out on your own.
A simple, transparent process — so you always know what's happening and what comes next.
Get in touch for a no-obligation chat. We'll talk about what your business needs from its website, your goals, and your budget. No jargon, no pressure.
Within 48 hours you'll receive a clear, fixed-price quote with a written scope of exactly what's included. No surprises, no hidden costs.
Your site is built on WordPress — the platform behind over 40% of the web. You'll see a draft to review before anything goes live, and you get 2 rounds of revisions to make sure it's right.
Once you're happy, we go live. You'll get a short training session so you feel confident making basic updates yourself. Optional ongoing maintenance keeps everything secure and running smoothly.
