Hi, I’m John.

I design and build every website myself. There's no team behind me and no one else to hand you over to.

Why I do this

I’ve been a graphic designer since 2012, working in print and design, including fine print work.

In 2021 I paid an agency £10,000 for a website. It arrived a year late, slow and unusable. Then, in 2022, an SEO company took my money and did nothing.

So I learned to do it myself, properly. I taught myself to build websites and do SEO, and I’ve been doing both since 2022. I started Business Sorted Kent in April 2025.

And it’s not just me. Most of my clients came to me after something similar.

  • Excel Inspection Solutions were paying an agency £500 a month for SEO and web design. They never got a report, barely heard from them, and could hardly be found online.
  • Another client had wondered for years why nobody could find them online. Their website agency put it down to a few negative Google reviews. That was only a small part of the picture.
  • Kent iPhone Repair had a one-page site a friend built. They simply weren’t competing. Now they get around 3,000 clicks from Google every three months, up from around 260. Read the case study.
  • Others had slow websites that visitors gave up on before they loaded.

Now I see small businesses paying silly money for slow, bloated websites and SEO that doesn’t show results. I’d rather do it right, at a fair price.

No badges, just results

There’s no official qualification for SEO, and the certificates that exist don’t tell you much. So instead of badges, I show you results: real figures from Google, with dates, from real clients you can speak to. And I’ll show you exactly how I work.

  • Since 2012 a graphic designer
  • Since 2022 building websites and doing SEO
  • Every site designed and built by me, personally.

How I work

The detail matters.

I started out in print, including fine print work, where a millimetre out means a reprint. I bring the same care to every page I build.

One person, the whole picture.

Design, build and SEO, all done by me. Nothing gets lost between a designer, a developer and an SEO person, because there’s only me.

High standards, checked, not claimed.

Every site is speed-tested with Google’s own tool before it goes live. Every result on this site is real and dated.

Someone you can actually talk to.

You deal with me from start to finish. I’d rather meet you or pick up the phone than send you a ticket number.

Don’t just take my word for it. Ask, and I’ll put you in touch with my clients, past and present.

Working with me

I work alone. I design and build every site myself, so you deal with me from the first conversation to launch and after it.

Your website is yours. If you ever move on, I’ll hand over your files and help you move, with no hard feelings. I’ll never hold a site to ransom.

I prefer to meet in person or talk on the phone, and I’d rather come to you: I visit businesses within about 40 miles. I work with businesses across the UK too.

SEO and AI search

AI search means getting found and quoted by tools like ChatGPT and Google’s AI answers. Nobody controls what AI tools say. What I can do is make your site as clear and trustworthy as possible for them to read.
