About the studio

A real person behind every local business.

The Third Coconut is my one-person studio. You deal with me directly, start to finish - here's who I am, how I work, and the promise behind it.

About

A small studio growing local businesses across South West London.

The Third Coconut is my one-person studio: I help local businesses - cafés and takeaways, barbers and salons, plumbers and builders, and the professionals who keep a neighbourhood running - get found, get chosen and bring customers back. The website, Google profile, reviews and Coco Card rewards all work as one system, and you deal with me directly, start to finish.

I work with businesses right across South West London, so if you'd rather talk it through over a coffee than trade emails with an agency you'll never meet, that suits me fine.

Why the name? Honestly, my little one calls everyone a coconut - it's their word for people. It made me smile, so it stuck. It doesn't take itself too seriously, and neither do I. Behind every local business is a real person, and I like a name that remembers that.

The local growth studio · South West London

How it works

From idea to launch in four steps

No jargon, no guesswork. A clear path that keeps you in the loop from the very first chat to the day you go live.

Tell me about your business

A quick, no-pressure chat about where customers find you today - and where they slip away.

I build the whole thing

Website, Google profile, leads or bookings, reviews and your CocoCard loyalty - the connected platform, designed around your trade, with updates as it takes shape so nothing's a surprise.

You review and request changes

See it all working before it goes live, then tell me what to tweak until it feels right.

Launch - then grow, monthly

We go live, and the real work starts: reviews coming in, customers coming back, and a simple report so you can see it.

I handle the technical bits - domain, hosting, security, the lot.

Plain English, start to finish. No jargon, ever.

One person, start to finish - you always talk to me, not an account manager.

AI, done honestly

Modern AI where it earns its place

AI is genuinely useful for a local business - but only where it does real work, not as a buzzword. I use it to build faster, answer your customers and keep them coming back. A real person - me - still stands behind every bit of it.

A smart assistant on your site

The assistant answering you in the corner of this page is AI - you can have one on your business's site too. It answers customers day and night, points them to booking or a quote, and passes you anything it can't handle. Available as an add-on.

Your regulars, kept warm

Your “we miss you” messages, replies to reviews and monthly offers - AI drafts them in your voice and I check every one before it sends. Personal and quick, never the spammy stuff.

Faster to build, fair to price

AI does the grunt work, so one person can get your site live in about a week and keep the price fixed and low. I design and stand behind every pixel - no cookie-cutter templates, no AI slop.

The rule I work to: AI does the heavy lifting, a real human stays accountable for your business. That's the difference between using AI and being run by it - when something breaks before your busiest Saturday, you still get me, not a bot.

Straight dealing

No games, no small print

You're not taking a gamble on a new studio - the risk sits with me, not you. Here's exactly how.

You don't pay until you love it

See your site - and your Coco Card set-up - designed before you commit a penny of the package. If it's not right, I keep refining - or you walk away owing nothing. Fixed price, agreed up front.

Simple, honest, no lock-in

Lightning fast

Built for top Lighthouse & PageSpeed scores.

Mobile-first

Looks flawless on every phone and tablet.

Consent done right

GDPR & PECR-safe - offers only go to people who opted in.

You own your data

Your domain, your site content and your customer list - yours to export any time.

~1 week turnaround

Most local sites go live in days, not months.

Fixed price up front

Agreed before I start. No surprise invoices.

Until my first review lands here, judge the work itself - every demo is live.

  • Design, build, hosting & SSL - all free, on me
  • Promote your cause, events & fundraising
