Web design in Wigan. Built around you.
Web design and digital services.
Your online presence should work as a whole: the build, how people find it and the care that keeps it useful. Choose the support you need now, with a direct conversation about what comes next.
Web design
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.
Web development
The visible website is only part of the job. I’m a full-stack web developer who can connect the front end, the database and the systems behind your business. I build new features, improve existing websites and help remove the manual work between an enquiry and the action that follows.
Lead generation
A visitor is only useful to your business if they can understand the offer and take the next step. I bring website design, search visibility, paid advertising and enquiry handling together so each part of your online presence supports the same commercial goal.
SEO
A useful SEO plan connects what people search for with what your business actually offers. I’m Sam Jay Heaton, a Wigan-based web developer and SEO practitioner. I can work on the content, technical details and website improvements together, so recommendations can become practical changes.
AIO
People increasingly use AI tools to research suppliers, compare options and understand unfamiliar services. AIO is the work of making your business information clear, credible and accessible in that environment. I approach it as part of a sound search strategy, alongside SEO rather than as a shortcut around it.
PPC / Google Ads
Paid search works best when the advert, landing page and follow-up agree with each other. I can manage Google Ads alongside the website and technical work, helping you put a clear offer in front of relevant people and understand what happens after the click.
E-commerce
An online shop needs to make buying straightforward and make the day-to-day work manageable. I design and develop e-commerce websites around your products, customers and operations, with direct support from the person who understands the build.
Hosting
Hosting is the service that keeps your website available and gives it the resources to run. I provide website and email hosting with a practical advantage: you can talk to the person who understands the website, rather than start again with someone who has never seen it.
Maintenance
A website is part of the business long after launch day. Software changes, content needs updating and small problems need a sensible response. I provide ongoing maintenance and support with direct contact, so you have someone who understands the site and the decisions behind it.
Consultancy
You may already have designers, developers or a marketing team. Sometimes what you need is someone who can look across the whole picture, ask the awkward practical questions and help turn an idea into a workable plan. I can act as your website consultant and contribute directly where the project needs it.
AI automation
AI is most useful when it helps a real process. I can help identify repetitive work, connect the systems involved and build controlled workflows that save unnecessary handling. The aim is to support your team and your customers, with clear responsibility for the decisions that matter.
AI websites
AI can help with website planning, content and everyday editing. It does not remove the need to understand how the website works. I build websites with professional judgement and practical AI connections where they add value, so you get a useful business asset with a person accountable for the result.

Your business matters.
You deal with me.
I’m Sam Jay Heaton, a Wigan-based web designer and full-stack developer. My clients come to me because they want a person who understands their business, can explain the options and stays involved in the work. My services are provided through Sam Jay Heaton LTD.
I bring design, development and lead generation together. That might mean a first website, a more useful online shop or a custom CRM that connects enquiries to the way your business works. The starting point is what you need to achieve.
My web design Wigan service brings together clear content, convincing examples and an easy route to enquire. I can build those foundations, then work on SEO, AIO and Google Ads around your goals.
You can also bring me into an existing project as a website consultant, working alongside your in-house or external team. After launch, hosting, maintenance and direct support keep the relationship going.

Talk to me in WiganStarting something new?
Your first website needs to explain what you do, give people confidence in your business and make it easy to get in touch. My web design service in Wigan brings the pages, content and visual design together around those jobs. I’ll talk through your audience, the questions customers ask and the details that make your business different. From an enquiry form to an online shop, I agree what you need for launch and what can follow as you grow.
Ready to improve what you have?
Website design in Wigan also means helping established businesses move forward. If your current site is difficult to update, awkward on a phone or no longer reflects your services, I can review it with you. I plan the page structure, design and development together, considering existing content, useful integrations and redirects where addresses change. I can connect the work with SEO and PPC, with enquiries and sales helping guide the next steps.
Based in Wigan? Start with a call to 07759 829 208, or arrange a video chat. You will speak directly with me, with ongoing care available after launch.
Before I get started
Good questions.
Honest answers.
Your questions about websites, pricing, AI connections and ongoing support. For something specific to your business, talk it through with me.
Ask me anythingHow much does a website cost?
Business websites start from £800 plus VAT, including design, development, on-page SEO and 12 months of website and email hosting. E-commerce websites start from £1,500 plus VAT. I agree the pages, features and content responsibilities with you before the project starts.
How does the £100 monthly website service work?
It is an ongoing website rental service for local businesses, from £100 plus VAT per month with a 12-month minimum term. Ongoing local SEO and AIO are included. It is not an instalment plan that transfers ownership after twelve payments; the scope and rental terms are set out in your proposal.
Will I work directly with you?
Yes. I am your direct contact for the website, the technical decisions and the ongoing work. You can also bring me in to work alongside your in-house team or another supplier.
Can you improve my existing website?
Yes. I can review what is working, where visitors struggle and which changes are worth making. A focused improvement can sometimes be a better use of your budget than a complete rebuild.
Can I use my AI assistant to help manage the website?
On suitable WordPress builds, my Pro toolkit includes support for connecting a compatible AI assistant through MCP. I set up the supported tools and agreed permissions with you. What the assistant can do depends on the platform, integrations and AI client.
Do you provide SEO and AIO as well as the build?
Yes. I can work on technical SEO, useful content, local search information and how your business is understood in AI-assisted research. The plan is shaped around your services and the enquiries you want, with measured website data where access is available.
Can you connect a website to my CRM or quoting process?
Yes. Development can include CRM connections, custom quoting tools, dashboards and reporting. I review the systems, data and workflow first, then agree the right scope and integration approach.
What happens after the first year of hosting?
Ongoing website and email hosting is £120 plus VAT per year. My WordPress maintenance plan is £75 plus VAT per month and includes hosting. Your proposal sets out the service you choose and any separate software or third-party costs.
How long will the project take?
That depends on the pages, features, integrations and how much content is ready. I agree a realistic plan with you before starting, including time for feedback and testing. Tell me if you have a particular launch date in mind.
Do I need to be based in Wigan?
No. I am based in Wigan and work with clients across the North West, elsewhere in the UK and beyond. We can plan the project by phone or video call and review the working website together.
Included with managed WordPress builds
The tools behind
a better start.
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.
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.
FormLayer Pro
Build useful enquiry forms around the information you need to qualify and respond to leads.
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.
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.
