Websites for small trade and service businesses

We build straightforward, fast websites for independent businesses — the kind that need to explain what they do, be found, and take an enquiry without getting in the way.

What we do

We design and build small business websites end to end: structure, copy, layout, and the contact forms that actually bring work in. Most of our projects are between four and a dozen pages.

Every site we build is written for the business it belongs to. We do not resell a template with the colours changed, and we do not pad a site with pages nobody reads.

How a project runs

We start with a conversation about what the business does and who it is trying to reach. That produces a page structure and a plan, which you see and sign off before any design work starts.

From there it is usually two to three weeks to a live site, depending on how quickly photos and details come back. You get a link to review as it takes shape rather than a single reveal at the end.

Content and copy

Most of our clients would rather not write their own website, so we do it. We interview you about the work, then draft the pages and revise them until they sound like you rather than like marketing.

Where a business has genuine detail worth explaining — a process, a material, a reason they do something a particular way — that is usually the most valuable part of the site.

After launch

Sites we build stay online and stay monitored. We check that pages load and that forms are still delivering, and we fix things without waiting to be told.

Small content changes are part of the arrangement. If a phone number changes or a service is added, send it over.

Who we work with

Independent trade and service businesses, mostly. Detailing shops, installers, contractors, and small local operators who need a credible web presence and do not have anyone in-house to build one.

We take a small number of projects at a time, which is why we are usually booked a few weeks out.
