For any local business that does real work.
What we do
Websites
Designed around you: your look, your words, your photos. No templates.
Website SEO
Comes with every site: pages for the towns you serve, titles and descriptions, and schema.
SEO+
A separate service: your Google Business Profile set up and planned, monthly posts, ongoing SEO.
Monthly upkeep
A report every month and care for your site, with hosting included.
Website SEO
Every website comes with Website SEO. You get pages for the towns you serve, so people searching there can find you. Each page gets its own title and description, plus schema: hidden labels that tell Google who you are and what you do.

Bakery in Your Town and the towns around it. What we do, where we work, and how to reach us.
How it works
First we research your business. Then you click through the page designs and approve them before anything is built. We build and test the real site, you review it, and we take it live.

Rent or own
Two ways to get your website. Own it: pay once, half to start and half once you're happy, and it's yours. Or rent it: one flat price a month. Pick one to see how it works.
Our work
Custom sites for local businesses, built around their own photos and the towns they serve. For now these are concept sites: made-up businesses we designed to show our work. Real client stories are coming soon.

Questions
Do I own my website?
Yes. Once the build is paid in full, the site is yours: the design, the words and the code. Your domain stays in your name.
Is hosting extra?
No. Hosting is part of monthly upkeep. Upkeep is optional: skip it and we set your site up on free hosting in your own name.
Is the first call free?
Yes. The call and your quote are free, and there's no pressure to sign anything.
What comes with a website?
Website SEO, on every site: pages for the towns you serve, a title and description for every page, and schema, the hidden labels that tell Google who you are and what you do.
How long does a site take?
About a week from start to launch. The week depends on getting your photos and your approval of the page designs on time.
What if I want to leave?
We hand everything over and help you move, with no handover fee. Your domain and your email stay where they are.
