I make bespoke websites for King's Lynn businesses and organisations, from the professional firms on King Street to the maritime trades, the food processors and the shops around Norfolk Street. I have made more than 1,600 websites since 2001, and I still design and build every one myself.
An electrical contractor whose work runs from the North Norfolk coast through King's Lynn and down into the Fens, with a website built from the evidence he already had.
A family-run electrical contractor at Stoke Ferry, and a specialist in lighting churches and historic buildings. Five years of photographs from his phone became eleven written-up projects, among them the angel roof at Upwell and the lighting scheme at Walpole St Peter, and the editor is plain enough to add new work from the van. Every enquiry now arrives saying which page it came from, so he can see which parts of the site bring in work.
Read the case study
King's Lynn is a former Hanseatic port: the Custom House on the riverfront, the docks, the Saturday market, and the Tuesday Market Place still drawing crowds 800 years on. The economy is a broad one: agriculture and food processing, the maritime trades, retail around Norfolk Street and the Vancouver Quarter, professional services on King Street, and the businesses that come with being the gateway to the North Norfolk coast.
So the people choosing a King's Lynn firm are just as varied: a client across town, a buyer further down the supply chain, a visitor on the way to the coast. Each of them is likely to look at the website before getting in touch, and it has to show every one of them the standard of the work, answer the questions they would otherwise have to ask, and make the enquiry easy to send. A template written for everyone answers that brief for no one.
Firms that sell to other firms will find more on business-to-business websites, and the owners of holiday lets on the way to the coast on websites for holiday lets.
I work with businesses across Norfolk and the Fens from a studio in Littleport, just outside Ely, and King's Lynn is about 55 minutes from Ely, up the A10. Most of the work happens remotely, from the brief to the design to the launch, with email and video calls in between.
Whoever signs off the work will ask much the same questions of any supplier, and each has a plain answer.
This is quoted as he wrote it, from a client who came back with a second project. I am glad to put you in touch with clients directly, should you or the partners wish to hear it from them.
“I have found Adam to be more than technically capable, reliable and trustworthy. The results gained have been excellent, and I liked working with him so much I used him again.”
These are the questions that open most first calls, and if yours is not among them, you are welcome to send it to me and I will answer it plainly.
Every commission is quoted to the job, because no two firms need quite the same thing. After a free 30-minute call you receive a written proposal within two working days, with one fixed price and a launch date, and that price holds however long the work takes. Should the scope change, the new price is agreed in writing before the extra work happens.
It takes about four weeks from the first call to launch for a website, and about six for an online shop. The launch date is set in writing beside the price before we begin, and I plan the work backwards from it, so that you can tell the people you answer to exactly when to expect it.
I do, and there is no account manager, no junior and no outsourcing: the person you brief is the person who designs, builds and looks after the website, and the person who replies, by the end of the next working day, when something needs changing.
No, there is no need: a good many of my clients I have only ever met on Zoom, and the work is no worse for it. King's Lynn is close enough, though, that I am glad to come up for the first conversation, and for any photography or planning that calls for it, should you prefer to meet face to face.
Every site I build has the search work done properly from the first day: a clean structure, sensible page titles, quick load times, local schema and your Google Business Profile. For a King's Lynn business competing in local search, that foundation does much of the work. Rankings are earned over months rather than weeks, and ongoing SEO keeps them moving should you want it.
The full service has a page of its own, and so do the towns nearest King's Lynn.
You are welcome to book thirty minutes on a call, on Zoom or in King's Lynn, or to leave a note in the form, and I will reply by the end of the next working day. The call is most useful when there is a real project in mind, so that the half hour is well spent. If I can help, the written proposal follows within two working days; if I am not the right fit, I will say so.
Or write to enquiries@adamlord.co.uk. For a fuller picture, the project brief takes about ten minutes.
It has come straight to me rather than to a queue, and I will reply by the end of the next working day.
