Contact Form Triage

Why emails are going missing

Most servers are not set up to send emails directly. Without a secure verification setup (called SMTP), email providers like Gmail or Outlook mark your website's contact form submissions as spam—or silently drop them entirely.

Repair Quote Flat £45

Includes configuring a robust transaction email provider, testing all forms, and setting up secure SPF/DKIM verification tags.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to sign a long contract?
Absolutely not. All of our monthly plans are on a rolling, pay-as-you-go basis. You can cancel at any point with a simple email, and we’ll hand over your files immediately.
What happens if my site breaks during updates?
Before we touch any code, we take a full, external snapshot of your site. If an updated plugin causes a conflict, we instantly revert it to the working backup and fix the issue manually in a safe environment. Your visitors won't notice a thing.
Who actually works on my website?
Real web developers based right here in Leicestershire. We don't farm out work offshore. The person you chat with on the phone is the exact developer editing your code.
Platform Agnostic

We support whatever system you are already using.

Unlike other agencies, we won't bully you into buying an expensive, brand-new rebuild just because we only understand one system. We have years of experience across all major web systems.

WordPress Expert Support

Keep your WordPress site running smooth.

WordPress runs over 40% of the web, which unfortunately makes it a primary target for hackers. We keep your themes, plugins, and core software updated, fix Elementor or Divi visual layout issues, and clean up compromised or injected files.

Common fixes we handle:

  • Resolving the "White Screen of Death" after database crashes.
  • Fixing broken forms that refuse to send message alerts.
  • Optimizing bloated page templates to load faster on mobile.

Who We Are

A real, local expert you can trust.

We are the support arm of Sitewide Design, a local agency founded in 2016. We built this service because small businesses deserve premium maintenance without high agency overheads.

Started in 2016

Why we started Leicester Web Support

We noticed a massive problem: traditional web design agencies love charging thousands of pounds to build new websites, but they actively dislike maintaining them. When clients require small adjustments, they are either met with massive minimum fees or complete silence.

We believe in a more honest way of working. Our goal is to answer your phone calls directly, communicate in straightforward, friendly English, and treat every business with respect — no matter how small your website issue might be.

Our Three Commandments

1. Never use technical jargon to confuse you

We explain issues in regular terms. If we modify your redirect rules, we will simply tell you "we pointed your old page to the new one so visitors don't get lost."

2. Always pick up the telephone directly

No complex offshore support ticket queues or robot chat assistants. You will call a local number, and a human will answer who actually knows your project.

3. Upfront flat rates with zero surprises

If we agree to a fixed price to repair your broken layout, that is exactly what you will pay. If it takes us longer than anticipated, we cover the extra costs ourselves.
