Based in Okehampton but serving businesses across the whole of Devon. Local knowledge, local rates, local results.
If you're searching for a web designer in Okehampton, you've probably already noticed that most results are either large agencies from Exeter or Plymouth charging agency prices, or national directories full of anonymous freelancers you'll never meet. Dartmoor Digital is different — it's Darren, based right here in Okehampton, building websites for local Devon businesses at prices that actually make sense.
The way people find local businesses has changed completely — and rural Devon hasn't been immune. When someone needs a plumber in Holsworthy, a landscaper near Crediton, or a beauty treatment in Barnstaple, their first move is a Google search on their phone. If your business doesn't appear — or appears with an outdated, broken or mobile-unfriendly site — that customer calls someone else.
Devon is particularly behind on this. Many excellent local businesses still have websites that were built ten years ago, don't work on mobile, and haven't been touched since. The gap between the quality of what they do and the quality of how they present it online is enormous — and it's costing them real money in lost enquiries every week.
A good local website does three things well. It loads fast — Google penalises slow sites and so do visitors who leave within seconds. It works on mobile — over 60% of local searches in Devon happen on a smartphone, and a site that doesn't render properly on a phone is effectively invisible to most of your potential customers. And it converts — meaning it has a clear phone number, a contact form, and a reason for the visitor to get in touch rather than bouncing back to Google.
Beyond the basics, a well-structured local site includes schema markup so Google understands your business, proper meta titles and descriptions targeting the searches your customers actually make, and a Google Business Profile that links back to your site and helps you appear in the maps results above organic search.
A well-built website for a small local business in Devon should cost between £400 and £1,500 depending on complexity. A simple 5-page site for a sole trader — plumber, electrician, cleaner, tradesperson — sits toward the lower end. A more complex site with a gallery, booking system, multiple service pages and full local SEO sits toward the upper end.
Be cautious of websites priced below £300 — at that price point corners are being cut, usually on mobile responsiveness or SEO structure. Be equally cautious of web agencies quoting £2,000–£5,000 for a small business site — you're largely paying for their overheads, not better results.
Dartmoor Digital's starting price of £500 reflects the actual cost of building something properly — not a template subscription, not an outsourced project, but a custom-designed site built by someone with 25 years of local experience who stands behind their work.
Every site includes full mobile responsive design, SEO-optimised page structure, meta titles and descriptions, Google Analytics setup, a working contact form, and a Google Maps integration. Business sites additionally include Schema.org local business markup, which helps Google understand and display your business information correctly in search results.
You receive full ownership of the site and all its files. There are no monthly platform fees, no locked-in subscriptions and no dependency on a website builder that could change its pricing or terms. Your site is yours.
Ideally yes — your own photos and words are always better than stock imagery and generic copy. However if you don't have photos, we can advise on what to take with a smartphone that will look great on the site. If you need copywriting help, that can be arranged. The important thing is that the site reflects your actual business — not a sanitised, generic version of it.
