Web design & development

A website your business deserves

We build websites for local businesses that need to look credible, explain what they do and make it easy for a customer to get in touch. You tell us about the business. We handle the rest.

What we build

Websites that do a job

Most of our work is small business websites between one and ten pages. A homepage that explains the business, service pages that answer real questions, an about page that makes you feel like a person, and a contact page that works.

Some clients need a full build from nothing. Others have a site that is five years old and needs to be rebuilt. A few just need the mobile layout fixed and the contact form working again. We are happy to tell you which one applies to you, even when it is the smallest one.

Who it is for

Local businesses, mostly

If your customers are within driving distance of you, this is built for you.

  • Trades and home services: plumbers, electricians, HVAC, roofing, renovation
  • Automotive: repair shops, detailers, tire shops, mobile mechanics
  • RV, marine and powersports service businesses
  • Cleaning, landscaping, snow removal and property maintenance
  • Barbers, salons, spas and personal services
  • Restaurants, cafes and local food businesses
  • Professional services: bookkeeping, consulting, legal support
  • Any small business that needs to look credible and be easy to contact

What is included

Everything that has to happen before a website is actually finished

A lot of this is invisible to the visitor. It is also the part most people do not want to deal with, so it is included rather than quoted separately.

  1. 01

    A design made for your business

    We do not start from a template and swap the logo. The layout follows what you sell, who buys it and what you want people to do when they land on the page.

  2. 02

    Responsive on every screen

    Phones, tablets, laptops and large monitors. The mobile version is designed on purpose, not shrunk down from the desktop one.

  3. 03

    Contact forms that work

    A form that sends to your inbox, shows a clear confirmation, and does not quietly swallow enquiries. We test it before launch and after.

  4. 04

    Domain and hosting handled

    Whether you already own a domain or need one, we connect it, set up the SSL certificate and get the site online. You keep ownership of everything.

  5. 05

    The SEO foundation

    Page titles, descriptions, headings in the right order, clean URLs, a sitemap, image alt text and a site submitted to Google for indexing.

  6. 06

    Fast loading

    Compressed images, modern formats, no heavy scripts running in the background. A fast site is better for visitors and better for search.

  7. 07

    Launch and handover

    We walk you through the finished site, show you what is where, and stay available afterwards if something needs changing.

  8. 08

    Support after launch

    Send us updates when you need them. There is no monthly contract you have to sign to get help with your own website.

Redesigns

Already have a website?

We can take a look at what is working, what is not and whether a redesign actually makes sense. Sometimes it does. Sometimes the site is fine and it is the mobile layout or the contact form that needs attention.

The RV Solutions site below is a full redesign. The business was the same, the services were the same. What changed was how quickly a visitor could understand both.

  • An honest look at your current site
  • What to keep and what to rebuild
  • Content moved across properly
  • Old links redirected so nothing breaks
  • Mobile layout designed from scratch
  • A clear before and after you can see

How it works

Four steps, no surprises

You will always know what is happening and what happens next.

  1. 01

    Tell us about your business

    We start with a conversation. What you do, who your customers are, what you want the website to accomplish and what has not been working. No forms full of jargon.

  2. 02

    We design and build

    We handle the design, the writing structure, the development and the technical setup. You get updates as it comes together, so nothing is a surprise at the end.

  3. 03

    You review it

    You see the finished website before anyone else does. Tell us what to change and we change it. This is the part where we get the wording and the details right.

  4. 04

    We launch

    Once you approve it, we connect the domain, set up the SSL, submit the site to Google and make sure the forms reach your inbox. Then it is live.

Supporting service

Website Management

Once your site is live you can keep handling updates yourself, or hand them to us. Content changes, new photos, an extra page, small fixes and the general technical upkeep. It is billed as you need it rather than as a contract you have to think about.

  • Content and price updates
  • Photo and image changes
  • New pages when you add a service
  • Small layout and copy fixes
  • Technical maintenance and performance checks

Pricing

Websites start at $299

Most small business builds land between $299 and $1,299 depending on the number of pages and how much custom work is involved. You get an exact number before anything starts.

FAQ

Web design questions

If yours is not here, send it over. We answer every one.

Ask a question
How long does a website take to build?

A small site is usually ready in about a week. A larger one takes longer, mostly because of the review rounds and gathering photos and content. We give you a timeline before we start, and the biggest factor is normally how quickly we can get information back from you.

Can you redesign my current website?

Yes, and a redesign is often the right call. We look at what you already have, tell you what is working and what is holding it back, then rebuild the parts that need it. Sometimes a smaller fix is enough, and we will tell you if that is the case.

Will my website work properly on phones?

Yes. Most local businesses get the majority of their visits from phones, so we design the mobile version deliberately rather than shrinking the desktop one. Buttons are easy to tap, text is readable without zooming, and your phone number is always close by.

Can you connect my existing domain?

Yes. If you already own a domain we can point it at the new website. If you are not sure whether you own it or where it is registered, send us what you have and we will figure it out.

Do you provide hosting?

We can set hosting up for you and handle the technical side, or work with whatever you already have. Either way you own your domain and your website. We will explain what you are paying for so there are no surprise renewals.

What do you need from me to get started?

A rough idea of what you want and some basic information about your business. Your services, your service area, any photos you have and your contact details. If you do not have photos or written content yet, that is normal and we will work through it with you.
