Your developer. Your direct contact.
A proper starting point
Your business.
In its best light.
A good website should feel like your business and make the next step obvious. I’m Sam Jay Heaton, a Wigan-based web designer and full-stack developer. I work with you directly to turn your ideas, services and experience into a website that helps the right people get in touch.
Before choosing a colour or moving a button, I want to understand your business. What do you sell? What do people need to know before they enquire? Where does the current website make life harder? Those answers shape the pages, content and calls to action.
That might mean a straightforward site for a new local business, a stronger presentation for an established company, or a detailed site that supports a longer buying decision. The design follows the job it needs to do, rather than squeezing your business into a layout that happens to be available.

The detail behind the work
A considered approach.
From the start.
The choices, practical details and support that shape your project.
01Your business, presented clearly
I plan navigation, page layouts and content together so visitors can find the important information without hunting for it. On a phone, that means readable text, useful spacing, sensible forms and clear routes to call, book or request a quote. On a larger screen, it means making good use of the space while keeping the same priorities.
I can work with your existing brand and photographs, help organise the material you already have and identify where the site needs better explanations or stronger examples. Real work, specific services and honest answers do more to build confidence than a page full of broad claims.
02A practical start from £800 plus VAT
Business website projects start from £800 plus VAT, including design, development, on-page SEO and the first twelve months of website and email hosting. We agree the pages, content responsibilities and required features in the proposal before the build starts.
On WordPress builds, the managed Pro toolkit supports everyday needs such as forms, performance, backups, search settings and authorised AI connections. The tools are configured for the project: a simple enquiry website does not need the same setup as a trade catalogue or a custom application.
03One conversation from idea to launch
You deal with me about the brief, the build and the decisions along the way. I can explain what is worth doing now, what can wait and where a more involved feature will affect the price. You see the working website before launch so we can review the content and customer journeys together.
My portfolio includes modest lead-generation websites as well as bespoke work for larger businesses. Examples such as ACL Forklift Training, Wigan Roller Rink and Digital Space show why the right approach depends on the brief, not on making every project the same size.
04A website you can keep improving
Launch is the start of the website’s working life. Hosting, maintenance, local SEO, AIO and paid advertising can be planned around what your business needs next. If you already have a useful website, I will also tell you when focused improvements make more sense than a rebuild.
Based in Wigan, I work directly with local businesses and clients further afield. You can explore the relevant platform or industry options below and see real examples before deciding what fits your project.

Your Pro toolkit covers forms, search settings, performance, backups, login protection and supported AI connections. I configure the tools around your site and hosting, rather than adding overlapping features.
MCP connects compatible AI tools to the WordPress abilities you authorise. Available actions depend on the client, integrations and user permissions. It does not give every AI tool unrestricted control. Pro licence access is supplied through the managed service; exact tools and renewal arrangements are set out in your proposal.
OneMCP Pro
Connect a compatible AI assistant to supported WordPress tools, with the agreed user permissions and an activity log.
Loginizer Pro
Login protection and controls that help reduce automated attacks against your WordPress sign-in.
Elementor Pro
Visual page building, reusable layouts and Pro design features for a WordPress website that is easier to manage.
Backuply Pro
Website backups and a recovery route, with storage and schedules set around your agreed service.
SpeedyCache Pro
Caching and front-end optimisation where appropriate for the hosting and website. Shop and account pages need separate treatment.
SiteSEO Pro
Manage search titles, descriptions and other on-page SEO settings alongside the work on your actual content.
