Websites · one of the three legs

A website built to win you the job

Not a brochure - a shopfront that answers the questions your next customer is actually asking, then makes it easy to book, call or ask for a quote. Built by me, hosted by me, cared for by me.

Real builds, not mockups

Here are three I built earlier

A café, a barbershop and a plumber. Open any of them and use it like a customer would - order a coffee, book a chair, price a job.

And one for the tools

Trades win the job on the quote. FlowFix prices a leak, a boiler or a bathroom live on the page, then hands the enquiry over with the details already filled in.

What you get

Everything a local site has to do

Cafes, trades, salons, clinics, shops - the details differ, but the job is the same: show up well, answer the real questions, make the next step easy.

Works perfectly on a phone

Mobile-first, because most visitors arrive from a Google search on a phone - often standing on the street. Fast to load, easy to tap, number and directions one thumb away.

Menus, services & pricing

Whatever you sell - a menu, a service list, a portfolio of jobs, a price list - laid out so people can answer "do they do what I need, and roughly what will it cost?" in seconds.

Booking & quote requests

Appointment businesses get booking links wired in properly. Trades get a quote form that asks the right questions, so enquiries arrive with photos and details - not just "how much?"

Trust signals up front

Real reviews, real photos of real work, clear contact details and who you actually are. That's what turns a looker into a caller - no stock-photo handshakes.

Galleries that sell the work

Before-and-afters for trades, the counter and the coffee for cafes, the finished cut for barbers. Good photography displayed properly does more selling than any paragraph.

Proper email & your own domain

you@yourbusiness.co.uk instead of a Gmail address, on a domain registered in your name. You own it outright - I just set it up and pass the cost through with no markup.

What that looks like on the screen

Not illustrations of features - crops of the real thing, taken from the demos linked above.

Two honest routes

Template-fast or bespoke

Both end in a site you're proud of. The difference is speed and how bespoke the design gets — I'll tell you straight which you need.

Template-fast

Start from one of my ready-made local-business templates and make it yours - your words, your photos, your colours. The quickest, most affordable route to a professional site.

  • Live fast - the design work is already done
  • Proven layouts for cafes, trades, salons and more
  • Still hand-finished - not a drag-and-drop builder site

Bespoke

Designed from scratch around your business - how you win customers, what makes you different, what you want people to do. For businesses that have outgrown looking like everyone else.

  • A design nobody else has
  • Built around your exact services and customers
  • Room for the extras - ordering, galleries, member areas

The difference

The same café, built properly

Most local businesses aren't badly served by their website - they're badly served by not having one that answers anything. Here's the gap, side by side.

BeforeThe site most local businesses have
dailygrindcoffee.co.uk
  • No menu, no prices, no way to book
  • Unreadable on a phone
  • Last updated years ago
AfterThe site I build them

Illustrative comparison. The “before” is a caricature drawn for this page, not a real business's website. The “after” is a genuine screenshot of a working prototype you can open and click around.

After launch

Hosted, cared for and never abandoned

A website has to stay fast, safe and current — that's what the monthly covers. No surprise invoices for a small edit.

Hosting, SSL & backups

Fast hosting, the https padlock and regular backups - all included, all handled. Most small sites run on genuinely free hosting tiers, and I'll tell you if yours doesn't.

Updates & small edits

Prices change, staff change, seasons change. Send me the change and it's done - no ticket queue, no hourly invoice for swapping a photo.

A person, not a platform

You always talk to me - the person who built it. If something breaks or you want something new, you know exactly who to message.

Straight pricing

From £149 setup + £49/mo

Every plan bundles the site with local visibility and Coco Card rewards - the website is one leg of the package.

  • A full new build starts at £499 setup + £129/mo
  • Every price fixed in writing before work starts
  • Not live within 14 days of me having your content? Your first month is free
The bigger picture

A great site is one leg of three

Getting chosen needs a site worth choosing. Getting found and bringing customers back are the other two legs - and they're built into the same package.
