Website consultancy in Pembrokeshire.

• You have received website quotes that include different things and need a fair way to compare them.
• A supplier recommends a new platform, but you are unsure whether the existing website can be improved.
• You need a clearer brief before approaching website designers or software developers.
• Hosting, domains, subscriptions or account access have become difficult to understand or hand over.
• You want booking, payment or customer-account features and need to assess existing software against bespoke development.

We agree a specific question and the output you need before starting paid work. Depending on that scope, the deliverable may be:

• A comparison of website proposals, with differences in scope, exclusions, recurring costs and unanswered questions.
• A written website brief covering audiences, essential pages, customer journeys, functionality and content responsibilities.
• A review of an existing website, with findings and a prioritised list of practical improvements.
• An options assessment explaining the trade-offs between keeping the current setup, using an established product and commissioning development.
• A handover checklist showing which domains, accounts, licences, content and data need an agreed owner.

The recommendation should explain what to do next and why. Any uncertainty, missing access or dependency on a supplier is recorded rather than treated as a confirmed finding.

This is an illustrative example, not a client case study. A proposal that says "online booking included" leaves several decisions open. A useful review would ask:

• Availability: does the website read from an existing booking service, or will someone maintain a second calendar?
• Payments: are deposits, cancellations, refunds and the payment provider fees covered by the proposed system?
• Confirmation: does the customer receive a confirmed booking, or only a request that the business must approve?
• Ongoing work: who updates availability, handles failed notifications and pays any provider subscription?

The output could be a clarified requirement, questions for each supplier and a revised scope. That gives you a basis for comparing quotes before deciding who should build the website.

We start with the task, rather than a preferred platform. If customers cannot find a service page, improving navigation may be enough. If staff repeatedly copy information between tools, we assess the process and the available integrations before recommending a custom application.

We compare the options against your requirements, budget, editing needs, ongoing costs and arrangements for leaving a provider. Sometimes the useful next step is a small change or a trial of existing software.

• Initial conversation: explain the decision, what you have already been offered and any deadline. We establish whether a detailed review would help.
• Scope and fee: agree the materials to review, any access needed, the output and the timescale before paid work begins.
• Review and recommendation: assess the agreed material and distinguish confirmed facts from assumptions and questions for suppliers.
• Next steps: talk through the findings and agree whether you will act on them yourself, with another provider or with Select Pembs. Any further work is separate.

Your website address, the decision you need to make, a short list of concerns and any deadline are enough to start. If you have quotes, tell us how many there are and what they cover; we will agree how to share relevant documents.

Do not send account passwords or confidential customer information through the enquiry form. A first conversation does not require access to your hosting or business accounts.

Select Pembs is based in the heart of Pembrokeshire and works mainly remotely. We welcome enquiries from Haverfordwest, Tenby, Narberth, Milford Haven, Pembroke, Pembroke Dock, Fishguard, St Davids and rural businesses across the county. A visit to your premises can be discussed when needed.
