Independent web studio
Most local businesses have a website they'd rather nobody looked at.
We build the one they're proud to send people to. Hand-built, fast on a cheap phone, for pubs, salons, trades, takeaways and holiday lets. And you see yours working before a penny changes hands.
01 / How we build
Watch a site get made properly.
Our site looks like us, yours will look like you. Every build goes through the same three stages, by hand, every time. Have a look at each one working.
Stage 01 · The words
Written before it's designed
We interview you, then write every page, headlines, prices, the lot. The waffle gets struck out and what's left sounds like you on a good day. You never stare at a blank box.
Interview call · Every page written for you · Read-out-loud test
Stage 02 · The build
From blank file to live site
Same job, next stage. The words from the call become real code, and the code becomes the page, watch the headline you just saw written get built and deployed. No page builders anywhere in the process.
Hand-coded · No page builders · Nothing you don't need
Stage 03 · The checks
Tested like it matters
Before anyone sees it: speed-tested on a cheap phone on mobile data, every form fired at a real inbox, every page read out loud. Then it goes live and gets watched.
Cheap-phone tested · Forms fired live · Watched after launch

02 / How it works
We build yours first. Then you decide.
See it before you buy it
STEP 01
You see it before you buy it
We build a working version of your new site and send you the link. Nothing to pay, nothing to sign. If it's not for you, that's a fair answer.
STEP 02
You tell us what's wrong with it
Wrong photos, wrong wording, missing a page. We change it. Two rounds included, and we write the copy so you're not staring at a blank document.
STEP 03
We put it live
Domain, hosting, contact forms, Google. We handle the technical side and hand you a site that works, then keep it running.
03 / The deal
A site that's built once, then looked after.

The care plan
Optional monthly cover so the site stays live, current and off your to-do list.
- Hosting, security certificate and domain renewal
- Backups and uptime monitoring
- Text, photo and opening-hours changes when you need them
- Google Business Profile kept up to date
- A short monthly note on how the site is doing
- Cancel with a month's notice, and you keep the site
Prices depend on how many pages you need and what the site has to do, so we'll give you a fixed number before any work starts. No hourly billing and no surprises at the end.
The questions everyone asks
How much does a website cost?
Every job gets a fixed price before any work starts, based on how many pages you need and what the site has to do. No hourly billing, no surprises at the end, and seeing the first version costs nothing at all.
How long does it take?
You'll see a working first version within days of telling us about the business. Once you've said yes and we've made your changes, going live typically takes a week or two, not months.
What if I don't like what you build?
Then you don't pay, and we part as friends. If it's close but not quite right, two rounds of changes are included, we'd rather fix it than argue about it.
Who owns the website and the domain?
You do, outright, from day one. The domain is registered in your name, and if you ever leave, the site and the address go with you.
I've already got a website. How does switching work?
We build the new one alongside the old, so nothing goes offline. When you're happy, we switch them over, usually inside an hour, and your email keeps working throughout.
04 / Get in touch
Tell us about the business.
If it looks like a fit, we'll build you something to look at. If it isn't, we'll say so rather than waste your time.
