Sudbury is the birthplace of Thomas Gainsborough and sits in the Stour Valley — Constable Country — drawing visitors interested in landscape, art, and the slow, waterway-threaded countryside between Suffolk and Essex. The town has a distinct independent retail character, a silk weaving heritage that's still present today, and a productive agricultural hinterland. It's a town that values quality and local provenance.
Fresh Slate Design builds WordPress websites for Sudbury businesses that are as well-made as the town's reputation demands — clean, fast, properly optimised, and built to bring in the right customers.
Three services, fixed prices, no hidden extras. Everything your Sudbury 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.
Sudbury businesses I work with include independent retailers and boutiques, galleries and arts organisations, restaurants and cafés, accommodation businesses drawing visitors to the Stour Valley, trades and professional services, and food producers selling local Suffolk produce. Every site is built around your specific customers.
A full WooCommerce online shop built on WordPress. You own it outright — no monthly platform fees, no marketplace commission. Includes payment integration, shipping setup, and up to 30 products.
For Sudbury businesses selling online — artisan products, food, gifts, crafts, or clothing — WooCommerce on WordPress with Stripe and PayPal, shipping setup, and up to 30 products. Particularly useful for independent retailers looking to reach customers beyond the town and the Stour Valley area.
Your website is a business asset. A maintenance plan keeps it secure, fast, and up to date — so you can focus on running your Sudbury 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.
