I'm Laurence, based in Ramsbottom at the southern end of the Irwell Valley. I work with businesses across the whole of Rossendale, from Edenfield and Helmshore in the south, through Rawtenstall, up to Haslingden and Bacup further north. The whole valley is on my patch.
Rossendale has a gritty, independent spirit. It's a working valley full of tradespeople, independent shops, services and small businesses that have been going for generations. Most of them aren't well represented online. That's a gap, and it's one that a decent website can close quickly.
One of the problems with being in a valley is that Manchester-based agencies don't think of you. They target the city and the big towns. Rossendale gets overlooked. I'm different because I'm here. I know the area, I know the roads, and I know that a plumber in Bacup and a cafe in Rawtenstall have completely different needs even though they're fifteen minutes apart.
I build websites by hand. No WordPress, no templates. Clean code, fast loading, designed for Google and for the people actually searching for your services. From £499 one-off, or fully managed from £30 a month with hosting, SSL and support included.
Local SEO across the valley means covering multiple town names, not just one. When I set up your search presence, I make sure you're visible in Rawtenstall, Haslingden, Bacup, Helmshore, Edenfield and the wider Rossendale area. £199 setup, £20 a month ongoing.
I also set up business email with Microsoft Exchange or 365 from £8 a month, build AI chatbots that handle enquiries when you're out on a job (from £199 setup), and provide IT support with onsite visits across the valley when needed.
