What we do

Four services. That's deliberately all.

We'd rather do a small number of things properly than offer a long list we can't stand behind. If you need something outside this, we'll tell you and point you somewhere sensible.

A new website

You don't have a website yet, or you've been meaning to sort one out for years.

Most local businesses lose work because people can't find them, can't see what they do, or can't tell whether they're still trading. A clear site fixes that.

We build you something straightforward: what you do, who you do it for, proof you're real, and an obvious way to get hold of you. It loads fast on a phone, because that's where nearly all your customers will see it.

You don't need to know anything technical. We'll ask you questions about your business in plain English and handle the rest.

Best for: Businesses with no site, or nothing but a Facebook page.

What's included

  • Up to 5 pages, written and built for you
  • Works properly on phones, tablets and desktop
  • Your contact details, hours and location, everywhere they matter
  • Set up so Google can find and list you
  • Your own domain name connected and secured (the padlock)

Fixing the site you have

You've got a website, but it's slow, dated, or unusable on a phone.

An old site can cost you more than no site at all. If it looks abandoned, loads slowly, or breaks on a phone, people assume the business is the same way.

We'll tell you honestly whether yours needs rebuilding or just tidying up. Sometimes the answer is that it's fine and you should spend the money elsewhere — we'll say so.

If it does need rebuilding, we keep whatever's working, rewrite what isn't, and move it onto something that stays fast and doesn't need babysitting.

Best for: Anyone whose site was built more than five years ago, or who can't edit it any more.

What's included

  • An honest review of what's actually wrong
  • Rebuild on a faster, simpler setup
  • Existing content carried across and rewritten where it needs it
  • Old links redirected so you don't lose your Google ranking
  • Same domain, no interruption to your email

Looking after it

The part most people forget about until something breaks.

A website isn't finished when it launches. Hours change, prices change, you add a service, someone leaves a bad review you want to answer with a better page.

Our care plan covers hosting, security, backups and small changes, so you've got someone to call rather than a site slowly going stale.

It's optional. If you'd rather take the site and run it yourself, that's genuinely fine — we'll hand over everything you need and you owe us nothing further.

Best for: Businesses that would rather run their business than a website.

What's included

  • Hosting and your security certificate, included
  • Small text and photo changes whenever you need them
  • Backups, and we fix it if it goes down
  • A real person who answers — not a support ticket queue
  • Cancel any time, and the site is yours to take with you

Getting found on Google

The free listing that shows your business on Google Maps and local searches.

For a local business, your Google Business Profile is often worth more than the website. It's what shows up when somebody searches "plumber near me" — with your hours, your phone number, your reviews and directions.

Most businesses either haven't claimed theirs or set it up years ago and left it half-finished. It's free to have, and it takes a bit of knowing what you're doing to set up properly.

We'll claim it, fill it in properly, connect it to your site, and show you how to ask customers for reviews without being awkward about it.

Best for: Any business customers search for locally — trades, food, salons, shops.

What's included

  • Claim and verify your Google Business Profile
  • Categories, service area, hours and photos set up properly
  • Connected to your new website
  • A simple way to ask customers for reviews

Not sure which one you need?

Describe your situation and we'll tell you honestly — including if the answer is that you don't need us yet.
