How does your business look online?

Pop in your details and I will check how you come across to a customer searching right now. Your website if you have one, your web address, how you look on a phone. Free, instant, no strings.

No charge and no obligation. We only use your details to run the check and reply. See our privacy policy.

That did not work, sorry. Give it another go in a minute, or just fill in the form at the bottom and I will check it for you personally.

The bit nobody else does

See your website before you spend a penny.

Most agencies take thousands up front and disappear for months. We do it backwards. Tell us who you are and we build a real preview first: your name, your reviews, your trade, even the web address we would register for you. If you love it, it can be live in two days. If you don't, you owe us nothing and we part as mates.

Your reviews, working

Your Google rating and reviews pulled onto the site. The first thing customers check, doing the selling for you around the clock.

Your own address

A clean .co.uk that matches your business, with a professional email to match. No more @gmail on the side of the van.

Climbing Google, every month

We check where you rank for your trade in your area, tell you straight, and keep working to move you up. Most agencies charge £199 a month or more just for this. It's in our plans.

Recent builds

One job, three ways to pay.

Every option includes the lot: design and build, your domain, hosting and security, professional email, your reviews and photos, and edits whenever you need them. Prices shown with and without VAT. If you're VAT registered you claim it back.

£229/mo + VAT (£274.80 inc)
  • Everything in Monthly, plus the growing
  • Your Google ranking tracked and reported every month

What the same job costs elsewhere.

Local agencies' own published prices, added up the way you would actually buy them: £650 or more up front for a five page site, then £199 to £499 a month for SEO on top, then £50 to £100 a month for maintenance on top of that, and edits billed by the hour. That is £350 or more a month before anyone writes a word of content. One monthly price here, everything in, and you saw the site before you paid.

Why we started this

Most small businesses get a raw deal on websites.

You ring an agency. They charge you a few thousand up front, disappear for three months, and hand back something built on a platform you don't understand, that you can't edit, that quietly stops working a year later when the developer who built it has moved on. We think that's backwards. You should see your site before you pay, own a straight answer on price, and have a real person on the end of the phone when you want something changed. That's the whole idea.

FAQ

Straight answers.

Do you do SEO?

Yes, and it's in the plans, not an extra invoice. Every site is built properly for Google from day one: titles, descriptions, mobile, speed, your area and trade on the page. On Monthly we check where you rank every quarter. On Grow we track it monthly, send you the report, keep your Google Business Profile active and add fresh content every month. Most local agencies charge £199 to £499 a month for that part alone.

How fast is it really?

The free mock-up usually lands the same day you get in touch. Once you've signed the one page agreement and the first payment is in, we send you the first version of your site to approve, usually within 24 to 48 hours. If we fail to get that first version to you within 7 days of your cleared payment, and the delay is on our side, you get the first payment back in full. Time we spend waiting on your content or approvals doesn't count.

Do I own the website?

On the one off plan, yes, everything is handed over on completion. On monthly plans we look after the site and domain during your 12 month term, after that the domain is yours and stays yours while you're a customer. It's all written in the agreement.

What if I want changes later?

Message us. New photos, new services, price changes, all included on monthly plans at no extra charge. That's the point of the monthly.

Can I cancel?

After the 12 month minimum, any time with 30 days notice. No sneaky auto renewals for another year, no exit fees.

Is there really nothing to pay for the mock-up?

Really. We build it from your public listings and reviews. If you don't want it, that's the end of it, no hard feelings.
