How it works
Four steps. About an hour of your time.
Most of the work is ours. Yours is answering four short questions at the start, then sending photos and a few details once you've seen the design and liked it.
- You see a real design before anything is paid or promised
- No meetings, no discovery workshop, no account manager
- One person designs it, builds it and answers your emails

Tell us about it
Three boxes: your name, your email, and what your business does. No questionnaire about your brand values, no forty-minute call to "scope requirements".
What we need from youNothing yet. Just the three boxes.

See your design
We design a real homepage for your business, with your services, your town and your kind of customer in mind. It arrives as a link you can open on your phone and show to whoever you show things to. See six we built for other trades.
If it's not right, that's where it ends and it's cost you nothing. If it's close, tell us what's wrong and we'll change it.
What we need from youStill nothing. You haven't paid and you're not committed to anything.

Days 3 to 6
We build it
You approve the design and pay. We build the rest of the pages, set up your domain and email forwarding, write anything you haven't written, and get your Google Business Profile in order so you turn up on the map. What each price includes.
What we need from youYour photos, your services and prices, and your logo if you've got one. This is the only part that can slow things down, which is why the seven days start here rather than at step one.

Day 7
You're live
Your site goes live on your own domain. We check it on a real phone on mobile data rather than just a laptop on office wifi, because that's how your customers will see it. Then you get 30 days of free changes while you live with it.
What we need from youA review, if you're happy with it. That's honestly how the next job arrives.
Nothing to lose at step two
- You see the design before you pay a penny. Don't like it, walk away.
- The site and the domain are in your name, transferred free whenever you ask.
- One person designs it, builds it and answers your emails.
Free. No payment details. You'll have a reply within one working day.
What "7 days" actually means
Seven days from the moment you approve your design and send your content. Not seven days from your first email.
If your photos take a fortnight to arrive, your site takes a fortnight plus seven days. We say that out loud because waiting on content is the only thing that delays a build, and a promise that quietly depends on you isn't really a promise.
Get your bit back the same day and people are usually live inside a week of first getting in touch.
Your hour, itemised
- 6 to 10 photos of your actual work. Phone photos are fine and beat stock images every time.
- Your services and prices. A list in an email is plenty.
- Opening hours and the area you cover.
- Your logo, if you have one. If you don't, we'll set your name in type properly, and it'll look better than a clipart one.
- Anything you want to say about yourself, even roughly typed into an email. We'll write it properly.
That's the lot. About an hour, and most of it is finding photos.
Why it costs £499 and not £2,000
A studio like this used to need a team, and the price had to cover the team.
We use modern tools, AI among them, to handle the repetitive parts of a build: preparing images, drafting text for editing, checking links, testing how pages behave on different screens. That's work that used to take days and now takes minutes, and the saving goes into the price rather than into a bigger margin.
Every site is designed, checked and signed off by a person. Nothing goes live that we haven't opened on a phone and looked at properly. The judgement about what your customers need is the part you're paying for, and it isn't automated.
What that doesn't mean
- It doesn't mean a template with your logo dropped in
- It doesn't mean text nobody read before it went live
- It doesn't mean a robot answers your emails
- It doesn't mean the site is worse. It means it's quicker to make
Changes, before and after
Before we build
Two rounds
Two rounds of changes to the design, included. Most people use one, and usually it's the colours or a headline.
First 30 days live
Free
Anything you spot once you're living with it: wording, prices, a photo you'd rather use. No charge, no argument, no limit within reason.
After that
£15 a month
Hosting, backups and up to 30 minutes of changes a month. New pages and new features are quoted before we start. See what the care plan covers
Free. No payment details. You'll have a reply within one working day.
Questions about the process
What if I haven't got any photos?
Take some on your phone. A real van, a real shop, a real finished job beats a stock photo of someone else's every time, and customers can tell the difference immediately. If there's genuinely nothing to photograph, we design around it with type and colour instead.
What if I don't know what to write?
Then don't write it. Send us bullet points in an email, or ring up and talk at us for ten minutes, and we'll turn it into the pages. Writing the words is included on Complete and we'll do it on Starter too rather than let a site go live half empty.
Can you use the domain I already own?
Yes, and it costs nothing. We point it at your new site and copy across your email records first so nothing stops arriving. If you'd rather move the domain to us entirely, that's £13 a year and it stays in your name.
What happens if my business changes later?
Small things are what the care plan is for. Bigger things, a new service, a second location, a shop, get quoted before we start, and we build on what's already there rather than starting again.
Do you know my trade?
Probably. Most of our work is for plumbers, electricians, salons, cafés, personal trainers and mobile therapists, and each of those pages shows a site built for that trade. If yours isn't on the list, it changes nothing: the questions are the same, and the answers are different for every business anyway.
Do I have to meet you?
Only if you want to. We're in Basildon and happy to come to you anywhere in Essex or east London, but the whole thing works by email and most of it does. Nobody is going to make you sit through a presentation.
