Costly website redesigns aren’t always the answer.

👉 Most websites just need more clarity, strategy, and targeted fixes.

Don't re-design to then make the same mistakes again. A new website re-design will not change the outcome if nothing changes.

Sadly many businesses settle with an under-performing website but instead spend a fortune on paid ads, when small, targeted changes could make a huge difference.

Common issues found:
➡️ Lack of clairty with the messaging
➡️ Poor user experience
➡️Technical problems affecting SEO

Here’s where my developer-led optimisation process comes in:

1️⃣ Audit & Analyse – I review and critique your website
2️⃣ Report – Walkthrough of findings (Zoom/in-person)
3️⃣ Action Plan – Structured plan to suit timeline/budget on what to fix.
4️⃣ Prioritise – Focus on what will make the biggest impact.
5️⃣ (Optional) Implementation & Review – I can make the changes or guide your team, then revisit and refine where necessary.

Whether you are looking for a focused critique of your landing page(s) or a full website report, I can support you to improve engagement and conversion rates.

Hi, I am Lee, founder and Developer behind Lee Vanstone Web Development 👋

I work with service-based business owners, marketing managers, and their teams, helping them through:

➡️ Website Redesigns (strategy-led, custom-websites coded, built to grow)

➡️ Website Support (keeping things running smoothly & growing)

➡️ Website Optimisation (fine tuning for better conversion rates)

What I love most is helping clients gain clarity, confidence, and results that matter most to them from their websites. Every project is built to perform, scale, and evolve without compromise.

When I’m not building websites, you’ll probably find me running whilst training for my next goal race.

👉 If you’re looking for a website partner who combines strategy, custom development, and results-driven thinking, let's start a conversation.

I am pleased to share that after securing a London Marathon space for April 2026, I have decided for this London Marathon to run and fundraise for Oxford Head Injury Service - OHIS

OHIS is an important lifeline for many who are affected by brain injuries. They work to improve recovery and wellbeing at every stage of a person’s rehabilitation journey by offering a wide range of support including specialist therapies, advocacy, information and community.

You can follow my training (from 2nd Jan 2026) and updates via my JustGiving page.

Could your WordPress website be doing more to streamline your business operations?

For the last 12+ months, Winterwood Tutors has worked with Lee Vanstone Web Development (LVWD) to help grow and enhance their exisiting WordPress website.

Winterwood Tutors needed a solution that better showcased their full range of courses and made enrolment simpler, all within their existing WordPress website.

LVWD created a brand new landing page and the course page templates.

It needed to highlight essential course details, simplify enrolment, and guide parents smoothly to securing and purchase a place for their child(ren).

The end result - A seamless event registration system integrated with Stripe that allows parents to choose either the full course or specific dates with ease. There is scope built in to evolve area further with the introduction of categorisation & filtering.

Nicky said of the work: "We cannot thank you enough for the design and ideas behind our website. Turning our event registrations from manual to an online payment system has been instrumental to our business!"

With social media algorithms constantly changing, are you giving your website enough attention?

Relying solely on social media is a risky strategy.

👉 What if your account gets hacked or removed?
👉 What if the platform shuts down?
👉 What if algorithms limit your reach?

Social media helps build communities and drive traffic, but it’s just a snapshot of your business. Your website is where trust is built.

I recommend WordPress because it gives you full control and ownership. Unlike social media, you’re not at the mercy of sudden changes, like Instagram’s recent grid update.

If your website feels outdated, ask yourself:

✅ Is it time for a refresh?
✅ Could small improvements boost performance?

If you’re ready to refresh or your website is in need of an update, let’s chat.

Be honest—how often do you check your own website?

Website maintenance isn’t a one-time task; it’s an ongoing habit. Regular check-ins help you catch issues early, keeping your site running smoothly and preventing missed sales or inquiries.

A quick monthly check can make all the difference! Why not set a recurring reminder for the first working day of each month?

If you'd prefer expert support to keep your site in top shape - safe, secure, and always operational. Get in touch to learn more about my website maintenance packages.
