At It'seeze Web Design South Wales Valleys, we help local businesses create websites that reflect the quality of their business and help them get found online. Many of our clients come to us because their website looks outdated, isn't generating enough enquiries or they've been let down by a previous provider. We do things differently. Before discussing websites or packages, we take the time to understand your business, your customers and your goals. That allows us to recommend the right solution for you rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Our services include:

✅ Bespoke Website Design
✅ Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)
✅ E-commerce Websites
✅ Website Hosting & Support
✅ Ongoing Website Reviews
✅ Local Advice & Support

Based in Treorchy, we work with businesses throughout:

📍 Rhondda Cynon Taf
📍 Caerphilly
📍 Merthyr Tydfil
📍 Blaenau Gwent
📍 South Wales Valleys

If you're looking for honest advice and a website partner who genuinely wants the best outcome for your business, we'd love to speak with you.

One thing I often notice on local business websites is the use of polished stock photos that have little to do with the business.

They may look professional, but a real photo of your own work, premises or team usually builds more trust.

It helps potential customers see:

• Who they’ll be dealing with
• What your work actually looks like
• The standard you take pride in
• That there are real people behind the business

You don’t need an expensive photoshoot either. A clear, well-lit phone photo can work brilliantly if it’s genuine and relevant.

Try using photos of:

✅ Recent completed work
✅ Your team doing what they do best
✅ Your premises or vehicles
✅ The details that show care and quality

It’s worth avoiding random images of smiling people in offices, handshakes or equipment you don’t actually use. Customers can usually spot when a photo doesn’t belong to your business.

Have a look at your website today: are your photos showing the real business, or could they belong to almost anyone?

I’ve hit the big 40 today! 🎉

I’m taking a couple of days off to enjoy it properly and I’ll be back and picking things up again on Thursday. 🎉

Someone sees your business on Facebook, then goes looking for your phone number.

They click through to your website, but can’t quickly find:

• What you do
• Where you work
• Your opening hours
• How to get in touch

After a few seconds, they may give up and move on.

This happens more often than you might think, especially for trades and service businesses.

Social media might be where someone discovers you, but your website is often where they decide whether to make contact.

Try this simple check today:

Open your website as if you’ve never seen it before. Can you find your phone number, enquiry form, service area and next step within a few seconds : especially on your mobile?

If not, it might be worth making those details easier to spot.

When was the last time you checked your own website this way?

Most businesses feel they have to choose between social media and a website.

You don’t.

Social media helps people discover your business, see what you’re up to and remember you. For many local businesses, it’s where a potential customer first comes across them.

But when they’re ready to find out more, your website gives them a clear place to understand what you do, see where you work, build trust and get in touch.

For a tradesperson, that might mean showing the areas you cover and examples of your work. For an accountant or consultant, it could mean explaining your services clearly and making it easy to start a conversation.

Social media can start the conversation. A good website helps move it forward.

Both have a job to do : they just do different jobs.

Is your website ready when someone finds you on social media?

If someone finds your business on their phone, can they quickly work out what you do and how to contact you?

For local trades and service businesses across the South Wales Valleys, your website often creates the first impression. A website that is difficult to read or slow to load can mean a potential customer moves on before getting in touch.

Here’s a quick mobile check:

• Is the text easy to read without zooming?
• Are buttons easy to tap?
• Is your phone number clearly visible?
• Can visitors quickly find your main services?
• Does the page load promptly?

Try checking your website on your own phone today. Even better, ask someone who hasn’t seen it before to find your phone number or contact button. Their experience may highlight something you’ve missed.

Is a page enough for your business?

It can be a great way to stay connected with customers, share updates and show recent work. But it shouldn’t necessarily be the only place people can find you.

Your website gives customers somewhere reliable to learn about your services, find you on Google and make an enquiry.

I’ve written about the differences between a page and a business website, and why the best approach is often to use both together.

One thing I often notice with local business websites is that people don’t always leave because the service isn’t right.

They leave because the website makes it difficult to take the next step.

A few common problems are:

Pages that take too long to load.

Services that aren’t explained clearly.

Menus that are difficult to use.

No obvious way to call, email or ask for a quote.

For trades and service businesses, this can mean a potential customer moves on to the next company instead.

A simple check is to open your website on your phone and ask:

Can someone understand what I do quickly?

Can they find the right service?

Can they contact me without having to search for a phone number?

If the answer isn’t clear, it might be worth looking at.

What is the first thing you would improve on your website?

Where Is Your Next Customer Coming From?

A question I've heard several times recently...

"Where is my next lead coming from?"

A lot of local business owners seem to be asking that right now.

Especially after the summer holidays.

So I'm curious.

Where did your last genuine customer come from?

Google?
Referral?
Networking?
Social media?
Or something else entirely?

I'd be interested to hear what's working for local businesses at the moment.
