Websites for local businesses — Brighton & beyond
Get found.
When someone searches for the best in your trade — on Google, or by asking an AI — the answer should be you. We build websites that make sure it is.
Designed & built with 15 years of big-agency craft. Everything handled on one simple monthly plan.
Someone is searching for you right now.
“Who’s the best plumber near me?”
It used to be a Google search. Now it's a question to ChatGPT, Gemini or Siri — and those tools build their answers from websites. No website means you simply don't exist to them.
Social pages come and go at someone else's whim. Your website is the one thing online you actually own — and it's what search engines, AI assistants and customers all check before anyone picks up the phone.
Competitors with a proper website are getting found first. Every week without one is work going to somebody else.
← this should be you
Five things every local business should know.
AI answers come from websites.
ChatGPT, Gemini and Siri pull their recommendations directly from the web. If you're not on it, you can't be the answer — no matter how good you are.
People check before they call.
A proper website is your best word of mouth. It's the difference between "looks legit" and someone quietly moving on to the next name on the list.
You should own your presence.
Facebook pages get throttled, Instagram reach dries up, platforms change the rules. Your website is the one channel nobody can take away from you.
Found first wins the work.
Most customers never look past the first few results. The businesses showing up there aren't better — they just have websites built to be found.
It shouldn't be your job to figure out.
Site builders, hosting, domains, SSL, SEO — you've got a business to run. This is our trade, the same way yours is yours. Leave it with us.
Everything, handled.
One team, one plan, no jargon. You talk to the person who actually builds your site.
Designed & built properly
Fast, modern, built to look the part and rank. The same standard of craft we've delivered for some of the biggest companies in the country — pointed at your business.
The technical stuff, gone
Domain, hosting, SSL, updates, backups, security — all of it covered by your plan. You'll never see a control panel, an invoice from a registrar, or a scary renewal email.
A human on the other end
No chatbots, no ticket queues. Need a change? Send a message and it's usually sorted the same day — by a person you know by name.
One simple monthly plan. Design, build, hosting and support — all in.
No big upfront agency bill. No surprises. Cancel anytime.

Big-agency craft, without the big agency.

Too many business owners get stuck between DIY site builders that eat their weekends and agencies quoting thousands before a single pixel exists. There's a better way: proper craft, a simple plan, and a real person who picks up.
