WEBSITE DESIGN FOR BUSINESSES THAT WANT TO BE FOUND
Websites Built for People, Search Engines & AI
A website should do more than look good.
It should clearly explain what your business does, who you help, where you work and why people should choose you.
At Design SEO Websites, I build websites around those principles from the beginning — combining professional website design with SEO, local SEO, GEO and AEO.
The result is a website designed to be understood by your customers, search engines and AI-powered search systems.
SEO Web Design From the Start
SEO shouldn’t be something that gets added to a website after it has been designed.
I build the foundations of SEO into the website from the start, including the structure of the pages, headings, content, internal links, images and the way information about your business is presented.
This gives your website a much stronger foundation for future search optimisation.
A well-designed website should make it easy for both people and search engines to understand:
- What your business does
- What services you provide
- Where you provide them
- Who your services are for
- What makes your business different
- How customers can contact you
Website Design That Goes Beyond Appearance
A professional website needs to look good, but design is only one part of the job.
Your website also needs to be:
- Easy to navigate
- Mobile-friendly
- Fast and practical
- Clear and easy to understand
- Structured logically
- Built around the services you actually provide
- Designed with search engines in mind
- Ready to grow as your business grows
I don’t believe in building pages simply to fill a website.
Every important page should have a purpose.
WordPress Website Design
I build and develop websites using WordPress, giving businesses a flexible platform that can grow as their services, content and online presence develop.
Whether you need a new website or an existing website needs rebuilding, the aim is the same — create a clear, useful and properly structured website that represents your business and provides a strong foundation for SEO.
Website Redesigns & SEO Rebuilds
Sometimes a business doesn’t need a completely new website.
It needs the existing website to be restructured and rebuilt properly.
An older website may have useful content, established pages, backlinks and search history that shouldn’t simply be thrown away.
I can review the existing website and identify what should be:
- Kept
- Improved
- Rewritten
- Restructured
- Redirected
- Expanded
- Removed where appropriate
The aim is to improve the website without unnecessarily losing the value it has already built up.
Local SEO Website Design
If your business serves a particular town, city, county or wider service area, your website needs to communicate that clearly.
Local SEO can be built into the website through properly structured service pages, location information, useful local content and internal links.
For example, a business serving several towns may benefit from dedicated location pages — but those pages should provide genuine useful information rather than simply repeating the same content with a different town name.
Websites Built With GEO in Mind
Search is changing.
People are increasingly asking questions through AI-powered systems such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot.
Generative Engine Optimisation — or GEO — is about helping your business information become easier for these systems to understand and retrieve.
That starts with the website itself.
Clear information about your business, services, locations, expertise and experience can help create a much stronger digital representation of your business.
Websites Built With AEO in Mind
Answer Engine Optimisation — AEO — focuses on providing clear answers to the questions people are actually asking.
This can include:
- Clearly written service information
- Question-based content
- Frequently asked questions
- Well-structured headings
- Concise answers
- Useful supporting information
- Structured data where appropriate
The objective isn’t to write content for machines.
It’s to make your website’s information clear enough for people and structured enough for search systems to understand.
One Website, One Clear Source of Information
Your website should be the central source of information about your business.
It should clearly connect your:
Business → Services → Locations → Expertise → Experience → Content → Contact information
When these elements are properly organised, your website becomes much more than an online brochure.
It becomes the foundation of your online presence.
Website Design, SEO, GEO & AEO Working Together
SEO, GEO and AEO shouldn’t necessarily be treated as three completely separate services.
They overlap.
A properly structured website can provide useful information to customers while also giving search engines and AI systems clearer information to work with.
That’s why I approach website design with all three in mind.
SEO helps your website compete in traditional search.
GEO considers how your business information can be understood and retrieved by generative AI systems.
AEO focuses on providing clear answers to the questions people are asking.
Together, they create a website designed for the way people search today — and the way search continues to develop.
Website Design Based on Real Experience
I’ve been designing and developing websites since 2009, and I’ve spent years working with SEO and online search.
I don’t just build websites and hand them over.
I use the experience gained from working on real websites to understand how structure, content, search intent, internal linking and useful information work together.
One example is The Jet Wash Fella, where I’ve developed a website around a real business, its services, locations, photographs, experience and specialist knowledge.
The website provides a real-world example of how a local business website can be developed around website design, SEO, local SEO, GEO and AEO.
Who Is This Website Design Service For?
This approach can be useful for:
- Local businesses
- Service-based businesses
- Tradespeople
- Professional services
- Small and medium-sized businesses
- Businesses starting a new website
- Businesses replacing an outdated website
- Businesses whose existing website isn’t generating enough enquiries
- Businesses wanting to improve their visibility in search
Whether you need a completely new website or an existing website needs a serious rebuild, we can start by looking at what you already have and what you actually need.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. HOW MUCH DOES A BUSINESS WEBSITE COST?
The cost depends on the size and requirements of the website. A simple business website is very different from a larger website with multiple services, locations, case studies and supporting content.
I’ll look at what your business actually needs rather than trying to force every project into the same package.
2. DO YOU BUILD WEBSITES WITH SEO IN MIND?
Yes. SEO is considered during the website structure and content planning rather than being treated as something to add after the website has been completed.
3. DO YOU PROVIDE SEO AS WELL AS WEBSITE DESIGN?
Yes. Website design, SEO, local SEO, GEO and AEO can be developed together depending on what your business needs.
4. CAN YOU REDESIGN MY EXISTING WEBSITE?
Yes. An existing website can be reviewed to determine which pages and content should be retained, improved, rewritten, restructured or redirected.
5. DO YOU BUILD WORDPRESS WEBSITES?
Yes. WordPress is the platform I use for website development and allows a website to be expanded as the business grows.
6. WHAT IS GEO?
GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimisation. It is concerned with making information about a business clearer and more accessible to generative AI and AI-powered search systems.
7. WHAT IS AEO?
AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimisation. It focuses on structuring useful information and answers so they can be more easily understood by search engines and answer-focused search systems.
8. CAN YOU HELP WITH LOCAL SEO?
Yes. Local SEO can be incorporated into the website through service pages, location information, useful local content, internal linking and other relevant signals.
