About
My name is Rob Dobson. I build search engine friendly websites using WordPress.
I offer small businesses a professional and affordable option in website design that allows them to focus their budget on what’s important, marketing it!
WordPress Website Design
WordPress is an excellent cost-effective platform on which to build your own self-hosted website. Inherently search engine friendly, it is flexible enough for any type of website, with a myriad of starter themes that cuts down on design costs. Whether a simple brochure-based website, ecommerce site, or a multilingual site using WPML, WordPress is the way to go!
Richard Hollins Director, Hollins & Associates
“Rob’s just done some great work for me, putting together a new WordPress-based website. I couldn’t be happier with the results. Considering the amount of work he put in and the quality of the results, Rob’s services are excellent value.”
Website Migration
Already have an existing website? The proper migration from old to new is hugely important and something that is often forgotten. It is a chance to appraise the search engine indexing of the current site and assess all those backlinks. The correct redirection of old to new web addresses is vital in retaining your current standing within the search engines.
Louise Root Owner, Very Important Pets
“I have been a client of Rob’s for many years now and I wouldn’t work with anyone else. It is rare these days to find someone in business that is such a pleasure to work with. I have endless comments on how great my website is and it’s all thanks to Rob.”
Google Analytics Set Up
Google Analytics is easy to set up. But using it effectively to monitor the conversions on your website is another matter. Event tracking can be implemented to monitor your conversions with related goals mapped out within Google Analytics. Regular reporting can be put in place so you can easily monitor how your website is performing.
Trish Petersen Owner, Leap Into Life
“Rob’s expertise in web design was key in creating my website that is beautiful, alive and current, using the WordPress platform. I highly recommend Rob not only for his expertise but also his flexibility, insight and availability.”
Google Search Console Set Up
The Google Search Console service is your window into how Google perceives your website. It helps to get a new website indexed quickly and enables you to deindex any web addresses that shouldn’t have been indexed in the first place. It informs you of any errors on your website and, when linked to Google Analytics, gives you some important search data. A hugely valuable service that is often overlooked.
James Darby Founder, Embrace Mindfulness
“I cannot recommend Rob highly enough – he is patient, precise, responsive and firm – all essential qualities when working with luddites like me… Engage his services and you will not be disappointed…”
WordPress Maintenance
Although WordPress is an excellent platform it does require some maintenance. Just like your computer’s operating system it is regularly updated to protect against security issues that arise as well as provide new features. The same goes for the plugins you will use. Our WordPress maintenance packages do all this for you along with providing daily or weekly backups and uptime monitoring options giving you peace of mind that your website is up to date and running smoothly.

“Rob has been a great help in continually updating my website… He works in a timely manner and gets back to my emails very quickly.”
Digital Marketing Strategy
Getting a website built is just the beginning. You want it to be found online by prospective customers searching for the products or services you offer. If budget allows this should be started before the website build so we understand the keywords potential customers are using to find products or services such as yours. But this can be done afterwards if necessary, and continue with social media, email marketing and paid search and social media advertising strategies.
