Web design & build for small businesses

Your website should bring you customers. Not just sit there.

We design, build and look after websites for independent businesses. Live in about a week, not months — and built to turn a search into a booking.

The usual story

If any of this sounds familiar, you're in the right place.

Most owners who call us don't need a bigger website. They need one that works.

  • It falls apart on a phone

    Looks fine on your laptop. Most of your customers never see that version.

  • Nobody can find it

    You pay for it every month. It doesn't show up when someone nearby searches.

  • Every change takes a week

    New opening hours shouldn't mean emailing a developer and waiting.

  • You can't tell if it works

    Nothing tracked, nothing measured. No way to know if it's ever paid for itself.

What we do

Four things, done properly.

We do a narrow set of work. It's why we're quick, and why the quote is the invoice.

New websites

Built around the two or three decisions a customer makes before they call you.

  • Copywriting included
  • Photography direction
  • Booking & enquiry flows

Rescue & redesign

We keep what's working, rebuild what isn't, and don't lose your rankings doing it.

  • Zero-downtime migration
  • Redirect mapping
  • Keeps existing rankings

Local SEO foundations

The groundwork that decides whether you appear when someone nearby searches.

  • Google Business Profile
  • Local schema markup
  • Review generation

Care plans

Hosting, updates, backups and small changes, for one monthly number. Terms set out in full before you sign up to anything.

  • 99.9% uptime monitoring
  • Same-week small edits
  • Monthly plain-English report

How it works

How a project actually runs.

No mystery, no month-long silences.

  1. 1

    Day 1

    You send the brief

    Four minutes on the form below. Enough for us to give a real answer, not 'it depends'.

  2. 2

    Day 2

    Strategy call & fixed quote

    Forty-five minutes working out what your customers need to see. Fixed written quote the same day.

  3. 3

    Days 3–6

    Design & build

    A live preview link from the first morning. Two rounds of changes included, not billed as extras.

  4. 4

    Day 7+

    Launch & look after

    We launch, set up tracking, and show you how to make your own edits.

Pricing, honestly

No packages. No surprise invoices.

A café's site and a two-site dental group aren't the same job. What we can promise is how the number is reached.

  • A fixed quote before any work starts

    One number, agreed in writing after the call. It only moves if you ask for something new — and we tell you before, not after.

  • One person, start to finish

    Whoever replies to your brief is the person who designs it, builds it and launches it. No handovers, no account managers, no ticket queue.

  • You'll know exactly what's yours

    Domain, hosting, code, analytics — who holds what is agreed in writing before we start, along with what happens if you ever want to move on.

Most projects land somewhere between a decent second-hand van and a small delivery vehicle. The brief tells us which end you're at.

Questions

The questions we get asked every week.

What does a website actually cost?

It depends on scope and how much content already exists — the answer nobody wants. So: the brief takes four minutes and gets you a real range before any call. If we're out of your budget, we'll say so in that first reply.

How long will it take?

About a week from the strategy call to launch. What slows a build down isn't us — it's waiting on photos and content. If those are ready when we start, a week is comfortable. If they aren't, that's the part that adds time, and we'll tell you so up front.

Do I have to write all the words?

No. Copywriting is included in every build. We interview you for about an hour, write the site, and you edit anything that doesn't sound like you.

I already have a site. Do I have to start again?

Usually not. If the bones are sound we'll redesign rather than rebuild — quicker and cheaper. We map every existing URL across so your rankings survive the move.

Do you handle hosting and the technical side?

Yes, through a care plan: hosting, SSL, backups, updates and small edits. Before you sign up we'll set out exactly what the plan covers, what's registered where, and the notice period — so there's nothing to discover later.

What happens after launch?

We set up tracking so you can see calls and forms attributed to the site, and send a plain-English report each month. What happens after launch — an ongoing care plan, or handing things over — is agreed at the start, not sprung on you at the end.
