Web design for local service businesses

A website that turns up when someone searches, loads before they lose patience, and lets them book or call without hunting for the button. Built for businesses that win work locally: accountants, solicitors, salons, clinics and trades.

  • A page for each service you offer, written around what people type
  • A booking or enquiry route that works on a phone
  • Structured data, fast pages and clean headings as standard
  • Rebuilds planned so the new site keeps what the old one earned

What we build

Where to start

A new site, a rebuild of the one you already have, or design and search taken together from the same brief. All built the same way, with structured data, speed and sitemaps part of the build rather than added afterwards, and priced the same way: one build fee, then one monthly fee.

    Web Design and SEO

    Design and SEO decided together from the same brief, by one team, so the structure that makes a site findable is built in rather than retrofitted.

Questions

Before you get in touch

The things owners ask before a build, answered plainly.

What is included in a website build?
Design and build, the page structure search engines read, the pages for each service you want found for, and the enquiry or booking route someone uses on a phone. Hosting and ongoing maintenance sit under website management rather than being a separate bill you discover later.
Can you move my existing website across?
Yes, and it is worth doing properly. A rebuild that ignores the old URLs throws away whatever rankings the old site had earned. The mapping and redirects are the work, not an afterthought, which is why a redesign is handled as its own piece rather than bolted onto a new build.
Do I own the website?
You own your domain, your content and your images. The platform the site runs on is ours, which is what lets us maintain it properly rather than handing you a codebase nobody will look after. If you leave, you take your domain and content with you.
Do you only work with certain types of business?
We work with local service businesses: accountants, solicitors, salons, clinics and trades. What they share is that they win work from people nearby, which is what the sites are built to do. If your business sells nationally or online only, we will tell you honestly whether we are the right fit.
How is this different from a website builder?
A builder gives you the tools and leaves the decisions to you. The decisions are the hard part: what pages you need, what each one should say, how they link together, and what makes them findable. If you want to make those decisions yourself, a builder is cheaper and you should use one.
