Small business websites: A front doorthat opens.
A hand built site that is fast on a phone, says what you do in one sentence, and takes the booking, the payment or the inquiry without a phone call. Six weeks with the brand, one fixed quote.
Sound familiar
It opens with "Welcome to our website".
The first line a stranger reads is about the website, not about you. They were deciding whether to call, and it gave them nothing to decide with.
It is slow on a phone.
Most people meet a local business on a phone, between other things. Every second the page takes is a second they spend deciding to go back.
Going from a one second load to three raises the chance a visitor bounces by thirty two percent.Think with Google, mobile page speed benchmarks, 2016
Every booking needs a phone call.
If the only way in is calling during working hours, the person browsing at nine at night books whoever lets them.

Questions owners ask
- How much does a small business website cost?
- After a twenty minute call about your business, we send a written scope and one fixed number within two working days. No hourly rate underneath it, and if the scope changes you approve the change before we start it.
- Do you use WordPress, Wix or Squarespace?
- We hand build, so there is no template to fight and no plugin stack to keep patched. You still get an editor for the pages you change often, and the code, domain and hosting accounts are in your name.
- Can you do the website without the brand?
- The website package includes the brand work, because a new site on a brand that is letting you down fixes half the problem. If your brand is already doing its job, say so on the call and the scope will reflect it.
- Does it include local SEO and Google Business Profile?
- Yes. Local SEO and your Google Business Profile are part of the build, alongside booking, payments and forms.
