Arcimedia: Web Developer
I build custom web applications, professional websites and business tools for manufacturers, hospitality businesses, professional services and SMEs in Burton-on-Trent.
Based in Lichfield, a short drive down the A38, and working with Burton businesses regularly.
What I Build for Burton Businesses
Burton-on-Trent has a strong industrial and commercial base, manufacturing and logistics businesses along the A38 and A50 corridors, hospitality and food & drink companies rooted in the town's brewing heritage, and a growing professional services community.
Many of these businesses need either a website that properly reflects what they do and generates real enquiries, or a custom internal tool that replaces the spreadsheets and manual processes slowing them down. Sometimes both.
I work with Burton businesses directly (no account managers, no agency markup), delivering web development that's practical, well-built and honest about what it costs.
Burton is a straightforward drive from Lichfield down the A38, which makes face-to-face meetings easy when they're useful. I work with businesses across the Burton area (including Branston, Stretton, Horninglow and the town centre) and just as effectively with businesses who prefer to keep everything remote.
Most of my work comes through referral, which means quality matters on every project. A short call is usually enough to establish whether I'm the right fit.
Why Arcimedia
I ask what you're doing manually and how long it takes. The goal is to remove that overhead entirely, not build something that looks impressive but doesn't change anything.
You work directly with me, Andy Jones, not an account manager relaying messages. Faster decisions, clearer communication, no Chinese whispers.
I'd rather tell you something isn't worth automating than take your money for it. That honesty is why most of my work comes through referral.
Systems built to be extended as your needs evolve, not locked into a vendor or a rigid structure that breaks when you change direction.
Packages
Every project is scoped individually, but these give a clear starting point for the four ways I work.
Scoped per project
A fast, modern website built from scratch, structured to build trust, rank in search, and convert visitors into enquiries.
Scoped per project
Browser-based software built around your exact workflow, replacing the spreadsheets, manual processes and disconnected tools slowing your team down.
Per month
Monthly retainer to refine, expand and maintain your systems, keeping them aligned with how your business evolves.
Per month
Monthly digital support covering website, SEO, ads and strategy, for small businesses that need consistent help without agency costs.
Costs
Every project is quoted individually and a fixed price is agreed in writing before any work begins. These are the typical starting points. The full price guide has the detail.
How It Works
We talk about what you need and why, by phone, video or in person. I ask the questions first so I build the right thing.
A written proposal covering what will be built, how long it takes and exactly what it costs, before anything starts.
A standard business website typically takes 3 to 6 weeks. You see it as it comes together and give feedback along the way.
I launch it, then look after hosting, security and improvements for as long as you want me to.
Questions
Yes. Burton-on-Trent is a straightforward drive down the A38 from my base in Lichfield, and I also work with businesses in Branston, Stretton and Horninglow. I'm happy to meet in person when it helps and just as happy to work entirely remotely.
Mostly small and mid-sized businesses and professional services: manufacturing and logistics, hospitality and food and drink, trades and professional services. If you need a credible website or have processes still running on spreadsheets and email, that's the work I do.
Professional websites start from £800 for a straightforward company or service site. A WordPress site you can edit yourself starts from £1,200 and an online shop from £2,000. You get a fixed-price written proposal before any work begins, so there are no surprises.
A standard business website typically takes 3 to 6 weeks from sign-off to launch, depending on the number of pages and how quickly content is provided. I give you a clear timeline in the proposal.
I build every site with local search foundations: clean URLs, proper headings, schema markup, fast mobile pages and copy that names the places you serve. Nobody can honestly promise a position on Google, but a well-built site with a properly set up Google Business Profile gives you the best chance of being found by people near you.
Yes. A rebuild keeps your existing content and URLs where they're working, so your search visibility is protected rather than reset. Most clients find that starting clean produces a much better result than patching an old site.
Yes. Starter web apps (a booking system, client portal or data tool) start from £2,000, and larger multi-user business systems from £4,000. These replace spreadsheets, shared inboxes and manual admin with one system built around how you work.
I can host and look after it for you. Ongoing Optimisation from £100 a month covers hosting, backups, security updates, monthly improvements and priority support. One-off changes outside a retainer are £75 an hour, with no commitment.
Areas I Cover
I'm based in Lichfield, on the edge of Staffordshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire and the West Midlands, so I work with businesses across all four. Looking for something different? See web design in Burton-on-Trent, or the full package prices.
