A decade of building and running the complete digital presence for a busy pub restaurant.

I'm Mike, a freelance web designer and developer based in Sheffield. I build fast, affordable websites for small businesses — from £395, with a fixed quote before any work starts. We can meet for a coffee anywhere in Sheffield or South Yorkshire, or work entirely remotely. Email me at mike@mikewebdeveloper.co.uk or book a free call below — I reply within 24 hours.
Most of my local clients are in and around Sheffield — and being able to meet in person makes the discovery stage faster and the result better. Further afield, the whole process works remotely just as well.
I spent a decade running a hospitality business — managing its website, Google presence, and marketing myself. I know what a local customer actually does before choosing you, because I've watched it from behind the counter.
Every site ships ready for local search: proper structure, fast loading, and the structured data Google and AI assistants use to understand who you are and where you work. Need more? My SEO & Performance service starts from £295.
Coffee in town, a visit to your premises, or a video call — whatever works. You'll get plain-English updates and progress links you can click, not jargon and silence.
Three services, honest starting prices, and a fixed quote before any work begins.
Design, development, and a decade running a small business myself.
A decade of running the complete digital presence for a busy local hospitality business — the kind of hands-on experience you can't get from an agency brief.
Most developers talk about pixels and plugins. Mike asked how many covers we do on a Friday night and built the website around that. Bookings come in while I sleep — that’s the whole review, really.
The same four steps whether we meet in Sheffield or work remotely.
A free call about your business, customers, and goals. I listen first — the website serves the business, not the other way round.
You see the design before anything is built, and we refine it together until it feels right. Fixed quote agreed before work starts.
I build fast, accessible, and SEO-ready as standard — with progress links you can click, not just promises.
Go live with training so you can update things yourself, 30 days of free fixes, and an optional care plan after that.

Happily. A coffee in the city centre or a visit to your premises works anywhere in Sheffield or South Yorkshire — sometimes seeing the business in person is the fastest way to understand it. Remote calls work just as well if you prefer.
The same as anywhere I work — honest, fixed pricing with no “local agency premium”: one-page sites from £395, full business websites from £895, and custom builds from £1,995. You get a fixed quote before any work starts.
No — Sheffield is home, but I work with small businesses across the UK remotely. Local clients get the option of in-person meetings; everyone gets the same process, pricing, and 24-hour response time.
