About Shaldon Web Studio

A small studio, with Ben behind the work

Shaldon Web Studio is a small web design studio based in Shaldon, working with businesses in South Devon and remotely elsewhere in the UK and Spain.

Ben Jones handles the website design and build work directly. You speak with the person making the website instead of being passed between a salesperson, account manager and separate developer. Communication stays direct from the first conversation through launch and handover.

The work starts with understanding the business, what customers need to know and the next step the website should make easy. The focus is a clear, professional site that people can understand and use without fuss.

Frequently asked questions

Useful details before starting a project

Clear answers about scope, timing, revisions, hosting and support after launch.

Can you work with a business outside South Devon?

Yes. Shaldon Web Studio is based in South Devon, but suitable projects can be handled remotely across the UK and Spain using email, video calls and shared project information.

What is included in a website quote?

The written quote identifies the agreed pages, features, content responsibilities, revision allowance, technical work, price and any items that are not included.

Why can two one-page websites cost different amounts?

A one-page site can still involve very different amounts of copywriting, image preparation, galleries, forms, custom features and design work. The fixed quote reflects the agreed scope.

How many revisions are included?

Two agreed revision rounds are normally included unless the written scope says otherwise. Additional revisions or new work outside the scope may cost extra.

Are domain and hosting costs included?

Not automatically. Domains, hosting, paid software and third-party services are identified separately where they are needed.

How long does a typical website take?

Timing depends on the size of the website and how ready the wording and images are. A realistic timescale is confirmed after the project has been discussed. If you need a particular launch date, raise it at the start so availability and feasibility can be checked. No completion date is guaranteed until the scope and required materials are agreed.

What does SEO Foundations include?

Depending on scope, it may include page titles, meta descriptions, logical headings, internal links, service and location structure, sitemap and robots configuration, and Search Console setup.

Can you guarantee Google rankings?

No. A technically sound, well-structured website is an important foundation, but no responsible studio can guarantee a specific search position.

What happens after the website launches?

Launch and handover help are available. Ongoing website care can also be discussed if wanted. Any continuing service or third-party cost is explained and agreed separately.

Who owns my website once it is finished?

Once the final balance has been paid, you own the completed website and the content created specifically for your project. Your domain should also be registered in your name. Any third-party software, fonts, images or services remain covered by their own licences, and ongoing hosting, maintenance or subscription costs are explained separately. Shaldon Web Studio may retain reusable development components and working methods, while you can continue using them as part of your completed website. Shaldon Web Studio may show the completed project in its portfolio unless agreed otherwise.
