Vegan business websites

If you run a fully vegan business, I'll build your website at half my normal rate. That's £100/hour instead of £200/hour, which for a simple restaurant site works out at around £300 all in.

The reason I do this is fairly simple: I've been vegetarian my entire life and vegan since 2009, my wife and I run Vegan Prestwich as a community project, and I'd rather my work made vegan businesses easier to find and easier to run than it made already-comfortable companies more comfortable. It's not a marketing scheme, it's a values thing - same reason charities and co-ops get the same discount.

My pricing is all on the price calculator and the prices page, no hidden bits. Hosting is £20/month for the supported package, which includes personal help working through my free marketing guides and videos - which is the bit most people skip and then wonder why their lovely site isn't bringing in customers.

People searching for vegan options online tend to be quite practised at it - they have to be, because "vegan" still gets used as a marketing word by places that turn out to have one tired salad on the menu. That means it's worth getting the technical bits right: the meta tags, the structured data, the consistent mentions across HappyCow, Google Maps and social, the actual word "vegan" in the right places on the page. I'll handle all of that as part of the build.

A note for non-vegan places with great vegan options: I'm very happy to help you highlight the vegan side of what you do, and there's good search traffic in doing that well - but you don't qualify for the 50% discount unless the whole business is vegan. Just being honest about it.

A few examples

I build straightforward, fast-loading sites that the owners can edit themselves, hosted on the kind of low-maintenance setup that doesn't need babysitting.

Sally's Bakes runs a vegan bakery in Bury. The site has clear ingredient lists, HappyCow integration, and simple self-service edits. She ranks #1 on Google for "vegan bakery Bury" and a long tail of similar searches.
Southport Organics built their own direct-sales site to avoid Etsy fees, with easy product management and full ownership of the customer list. It's a fairly new site but it's ranking well already.
Vegan Prestwich is the community platform my wife and I run. It's grown to 800+ Facebook members and 500+ Instagram followers, and gets a steady stream of visitors from search. We did help convince Joseph Holts to make their beers vegan, which I'm still quietly chuffed about.
Avo Coffee isn't a vegan business but does have good vegan and veggie options. Their site highlights that clearly across the page text, meta tags and reviews, and they rank well on Google for vegan-related searches in their area as a result.
I've been hosting the This & That site for nearly a decade. They've always had three vegan curries on the daily menu, so I added a dedicated vegan curry page and made sure that's reflected across the rest of their web presence. The site gets hundreds of search visits a day.

I use Google Search Console, SerpBear for tracking search positions over time, Lighthouse audits and the rest of the usual technical SEO toolkit to make sure Google understands what each page is about and which specific vegan search term it's the right answer to. Sites are mobile-friendly and load fast, which keeps bounce rates down.

Editing the site

The Chobble Template handles the kind of things that come up a lot for vegan food businesses: full ingredient lists, allergen labels, obvious vegan markers on individual menu items, dietary symbols you can apply per-dish. You'll edit it all through PagesCMS, which is a normal-looking browser interface, and I'm a WhatsApp message away if you get stuck.

How a build goes

First we have a chat, free, about what you actually need. I'll send you a written quote with a breakdown of what each hour is for. Most sites are ready within a week or so once you've got your content together. You'll own the source code outright - I use open-source tools throughout, so nothing about your site is rented from a third party, and if you ever want to move it to another developer or host, you can.

Questions

Do I qualify for the vegan discount?

The clean version of the rule is: if the whole business is vegan, yes. Vegetarian businesses with a strong vegan focus, businesses transitioning, vegan product lines within a larger non-vegan business - it depends, and the honest answer is "ask me when you get in touch and we'll have a chat about it".

What if I'm just starting out?

Same deal. The earlier you get the website right, the less you'll spend redoing things later. I'll help you pick a sensible domain name, get a professional email address sorted, and build something that can grow with the business rather than something you'll outgrow in eighteen months.

Can you help with social media too?

Websites are my actual expertise. Through running Vegan Prestwich I've picked up a fair bit about what works on social - I'll share what I know, and my wife (who handles the Instagram side) might be able to chip in too if it's useful.

If you also run events, Chobble Tickets handles flat-fee ticketing at the same discounted rate.
