We rebuild websites that lose work.
Most local business websites were built years ago and quietly turn customers away. We turn them into the reason the phone rings, and you own every bit of it.
- You own it outright
- Fixed quote before we start
- Fast on every phone
Same business. Ten years apart.
Pennywell is made up, but its website is the one we find on half the plumbers in Leeds. Here's what we change.
- Clear out the clutterVisitor counters, Comic Sans and "under construction" go first.
- Put things where people lookPhone number top right. Services in a row. The price where it's seen.
- Say what you do, plainlyOne headline about the problem you fix, and two buttons.
- Make it safe and quickA padlock, fast pages, and a number that rings when tapped.
Animated example: an old 2014 plumbing website with clutter, a visitor counter and Comic Sans turns into a clean modern site with a clear headline, phone number and booking buttons.
Built for the phone in their hand first.
Most people find a tradesperson on their phone, often in a hurry. The same site works just as well on a laptop.
Thumb-first buttons
Call and book sit at the bottom of the phone, where thumbs reach.
Readable without pinching
Text sized for phones, so nobody has to zoom in to read a price.
One site, every size
The same pages rearrange themselves for phones, tablets and laptops.
Three businesses, three different looks.
We don't put every client in the same template. These are concept designs for made-up businesses, to show the range. Open one.
More than a nicer homepage.
Every site can take bookings, payments, quotes and more, built in and ready to switch on. Pick a type of business to see what that looks like.
Fast on the phone in their hand.
Most people give up on a site that takes more than a few seconds to appear. Yours opens straight away, even on one bar of signal.
- Served from near your customersYour site runs on a worldwide network, so a visitor in Leeds loads it from a server close by.
- Built lightPlain, hand-made pages. No WordPress, no plugins, nothing slow running every time someone visits.
- Photos that don’t dragEvery photo is resized and compressed, and pictures further down only load when someone scrolls to them.
- Only what each page needsA page with a booking form loads the booking code, and nothing else.
- No heavy add-onsWe leave out bulky chat bubbles, trackers and widgets unless they earn their place.
- Checked, not guessedWe test every site on Google’s speed test before it goes live, then every month after.
Four steps, no surprises.
Free mockup
Send us your details. You get a new homepage design with your real business on it, usually within two working days.
A fixed quote
We agree exactly what your site will do and what it costs before anything starts. The price doesn’t change halfway through.
We build it
You see the site as it’s made and tell us what to change. We set up your domain and move everything across.
Live and looked after
Your site goes live. Change prices, hours and photos yourself from a simple page, or just ask us.
Looked after, every month.
Most people would rather run their business than their website. On a care plan we keep everything running, safe and up to date, and you message us when you need something changed.
It’s still your site. If you’d rather look after it yourself, you can. You own the domain and every file either way.
What people ask us.
Do I own the website?
Yes, outright. The domain is registered in your name and you get every file. If you ever want to leave, you take it all with you.
Who looks after the hosting?
We do, if you’re on a care plan. We set everything up on paid plans, so your site won’t be paused or slowed down when it gets busy. If you’d rather host it yourself, we’ll hand it over.
Can I change things myself?
Yes. You get a simple settings page for prices, opening hours, photos, news and holiday mode. You log in with your email, so there’s no password to remember.
Are there monthly costs?
It depends on what your site does. Your quote sets out any monthly costs up front, including the care plan if you want one, so there are no surprises later.
Do I need to be good with computers?
No. We do the technical side, including your domain and email. If you can use a phone, you can update your site.
How long does it take?
The mockup usually takes about two working days. Build time depends on what your site needs, and we agree a date in your quote.
Will people find me on Google?
Every site is built with the basics Google looks for: fast pages, proper page titles, your business details set out for search, and a page for each area you cover. Nobody can promise a top spot, but we make sure nothing on your site holds you back.
Do you use templates?
No. Each business gets its own look. The features underneath are tried and tested, which keeps them reliable and quick to set up.
How does yours score?
Answer eight quick questions about your current website. It takes less than a minute, and nothing is sent anywhere.
See your new homepage first.
Tell us who you are and where your current site is. We'll send back a new homepage design with your real details, usually within two working days.
No call and no sales pitch. If you don't like it, just ignore it. If you do, you'll own the finished site outright: domain, files and all.
