Web designin Dudley,with proof.
Bespoke websites for businesses in Dudley, Netherton, Sedgley, Gornal, Kingswinford and Brierley Hill, designed and hand-built in Stourbridge, five miles down the A461, and structured so the people searching in your part of the borough actually find you.
If you run a business in Dudley and your website is slow, dated or missing from Google, a bespoke rebuild from our Stourbridge studio typically costs £3,000 to £10,000 and takes four to ten weeks. The proof is local: a Dudley mobile mechanic we rebuilt went from 73 Google visits a month to 366, with calls from the map up 137%.
Dudley is bigger than
one search.
Dudley is the largest town in the borough, and for most trades and practices it is really six or seven markets stacked together. Someone in Sedgley or Upper Gornal searches differently from someone in Netherton or Kingswinford, and Google shows each of them a different set of results. A website with one page that says 'serving Dudley and the surrounding area' competes in none of those places properly.
That is the pattern we see most often on Dudley business websites: a decent business, a template site, one vague location line, and no page for any of the districts customers actually name. It is also the easiest thing to fix, because the competition in most Dudley trades is thin once you look at it district by district.

Pages for the places people name
Sedgley, Gornal, Netherton, Coseley, Kingswinford, Brierley Hill. Real content for each, not a list of towns in the footer.

Built for a phone in a hurry
Most Dudley searches happen on a mobile, often from someone with a problem in front of them. Sub-second load, phone number one thumb away.

Proof where doubt appears
Reviews, real photographs of real jobs, roads and estates a local would recognise. Trust decided in the first scroll.

Google Business Profile aligned
Categories, service areas and reviews that match the site, so the map pack and the organic results pull in the same direction.
What it did for a
Dudley business.
Your Local Mechanic is a father-and-son mobile mechanic based in Dudley, covering the Black Country. Before we rebuilt the site, its average Google position was 35.2, which is page four, and most enquiries came through paid ads at £1.86 a click. The Google rating had drifted to 3.6.
We rebuilt the site around the jobs and districts people search for, gave each town its own genuine page, tidied the Google Business Profile and set up a simple review routine. Visits from Google went from 73 in August 2025 to 366 in August 2026. Calls straight from the Google listing rose 137%. The rating climbed to 4.4. Google Ads were switched off on 30 April 2026, and August's 366 free visits would have cost about £680 at the old rate.

| mobile mechanic brierley hill | #3 | Held |
| mobile mechanic kingswinford | #3 | Was #5 |
| mobile mechanic halesowen | #2 | Held |

What it costs
in 2026.
Website prices around Dudley run from a few hundred pounds to well into five figures, and the number on the quote rarely tells you what you are getting. These are the bands we see across the Black Country this year, with honest notes on each.
Our projects sit in the small studio band. You get a fixed price after one conversation, and if a cheaper route would serve your business better, we will say so before you spend anything.
| Option | Typical cost | What you get | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| DIY builder (Wix, Squarespace) | £0–£500 + subscription | A template you fill in yourself. Limited SEO control, slower than it looks, ongoing monthly fee. | Very early stage, no budget, willing to do the work |
| Freelancer | £1,000–£3,000 | Usually a WordPress theme customised for you. Quality varies enormously. SEO often an afterthought. | Simple brochure sites with modest goals |
| Small studio (us) | £3,000–£10,000 | Bespoke design, hand-built, search structure and content planned together, performance guaranteed. | Established businesses where enquiries matter |
| Larger agency | £10,000+ | Bigger teams, account managers, longer timelines. Often similar output to a good studio at a higher price. | Multi-site or enterprise requirements |
Five miles from
Stourbridge.
We are based at Greyhound Lane in Stourbridge, which puts Dudley town centre about fifteen minutes away on a good day. We know the difference between Gornal and Netherton, which retail parks are dead, and which trades are booked up till Christmas. That knowledge ends up in the pages we write for you.
It also means the first conversation can happen at your premises, we can photograph the real thing, and you can hold us to account across a desk. After that, most of the work runs on short calls and shared drafts you can comment on, with real pages and real content early rather than a mood board followed by a surprise.
Local
questions.
Do you work in Dudley, or just Stourbridge?
Both, and the towns between. Stourbridge is home, but Dudley, Netherton, Sedgley, Gornal, Kingswinford and Brierley Hill are all inside the ten-mile ring where most of our clients are. Our best-documented case study is a Dudley business.
My site already says 'Dudley and surrounding areas'. Why isn't it ranking?
Because Google treats each district as its own local market. A single mention of Dudley does not make you relevant for Sedgley or Kingswinford searches. The fix is a genuine page for each area you serve, with real content, plus a Google Business Profile whose service areas match. That is what took Your Local Mechanic from page four to page one.
How much does a website cost in Dudley?
For a bespoke business website from a local studio, £3,000 to £10,000 is the realistic range in 2026. Under £2,000 usually means a template or a very simple site. We publish a full breakdown in our article on website costs, and every quote we give is fixed and written.
How long does it take?
Four to ten weeks from first conversation to launch. If you have photographs and text ready, the shorter end. If we are writing the copy and arranging photography, plan for the longer end.
Can you meet in person?
Yes. Dudley is a short drive from the studio, and most projects start with a look around your premises and a coffee. You will deal with the person doing the work, not an account manager.

better websites.
