§ 01 — Approach

A studio, not a template farm.

i.

Every site, drawn from scratch.

Your business isn't a Squarespace dropdown. We sketch, build and refine until it feels properly yours — typography, palette, voice. The lot.

ii.

Built to load in a blink.

Single-file, hand-coded HTML. No bloat, no plugins, no spinning loaders. The whole thing weighs less than a single Instagram photo.

iii.

A monthly rhythm.

From £30 a month you get the build, hosting, ongoing tweaks and a person who actually picks up the phone. No surprise invoices.

iv.

Local, in every sense.

Based in Bristol, working with the South West and beyond. Schema markup, Google Business sync, the full local SEO works.

v.

Mobile-first, obviously.

Most of your customers will see it on a phone in one hand while holding a coffee in the other. We design for that reality.

vi.

Honest about the price.

No setup fees hidden in the small print. No "from £X" that turns into £X×10. What we quote is what you pay. Cancel any time.

§ 03 — Process

From hello to live in two weeks.

01 — Conversation

Listen

A proper chat, not a sales call. We learn what you do, who you serve, and what makes the phone ring.

02 — Design

Draft

Within a week you see a working draft. Not a mockup — the real thing, in your browser, on your phone.

03 — Refine

Polish

Two rounds of feedback. We tweak copy, swap photos, get the details right until it feels properly yours.

04 — Live

Launch

Domain pointed, emails set up, indexed by Google. We stay on retainer for any updates you need going forward.

§ 04 — Selected work

A handful of recent builds.

They built us a site that actually feels like our business. The phone hasn't stopped since we launched it.

A real client — Testimonial pending photographs & permission

§ 05 — Questions

Reasonable things to ask.

Most small businesses can't (or shouldn't) drop £3–5k upfront on a website. The retainer spreads it out and keeps us on hand for the inevitable "can we change this bit" moments. Cancel any time, take your domain with you.
A bespoke single-page or multi-page site, hosting, a custom domain, a business email, ongoing tweaks (within reason), local SEO basics, and someone who replies to your messages. Pricing scales up to ~£40 for larger or more complex builds.
Cancel any time, no fuss. Your domain is registered in your name and stays yours — wherever you take it next, it's yours to keep. The site itself is part of the service though, so it goes offline when the retainer ends. Same way you'd lose your Squarespace or Shopify site if you stopped paying. Most clients stay because the site keeps working and we're easy to reach.
Most sites are designed, refined and live within two weeks. Bigger projects (lots of photography, complex booking flows) may take three or four.
No — we're Bristol-based but we work across the UK. Local clients get the option of an in-person meeting; everyone else gets a proper video call and the same care.
Often, yes. If your current site is salvageable we can bring it into the retainer. If it's beyond rescue (most are) we'll rebuild from scratch — same monthly price.
