Website Development
Custom websites for small businesses, built in about a week and fully yours.
We design and code mobile-friendly websites for trades and local service businesses. When the site is finished, the code, the content and the domain belong to you, and you can take them anywhere. Most sites go live within a week of us getting your content.
The problem
Does any of this sound familiar?
Your only presence online is a Facebook page, so people who search for you on Google end up calling someone else.
An agency quoted you $4,000 and six weeks for a five-page site.
You've paid a website rental company for years, and the day you stop paying, the site disappears.
What's included
What you get with Website Development
Designed around your trade
We start from your services, your photos and the area you cover. The goal is a site that gets people to call you, not a template with your logo dropped in.
Built for phones first
Most people looking for a plumber or an electrician are searching on a phone. We design for that screen first and keep pages light so they load quickly on mobile data.
SEO basics from the start
Clean page structure, a proper title and description for every page, local keywords where they belong, and a sitemap submitted to Google.
Easy ways to get in touch
Tap-to-call buttons, a quote form that lands in your inbox, and your reviews where visitors will see them.
Yours to keep
The code, the content and the domain are legally yours. If you ever leave, you take the whole site with you.
Help through launch
We connect your domain, set up business email, submit the site to Google, and stay on hand through launch week.
In depth
How a website project works
From first call to launch
- A short call or form. We ask what you do, where you work, what your best jobs look like and which jobs you'd rather not get. That last one matters more than people expect.
- You send your content. Logo, photos, your list of services and the towns you cover. If you don't have written text, we draft it from the call and you correct anything we got wrong.
- We build, you review. You see the whole site before it goes live and tell us what to change. Revisions are included.
- Launch. We connect your domain, test the contact form, set up Google Search Console and submit the site to Google.
- Handover. You get your logins. The site, the content and the domain are yours.
Which plan makes sense?
Starter suits a business with a handful of core services and one main area: a home page, your services, a gallery of your work and a way to get in touch. Plenty of trades businesses never need more than that.
Business makes sense once you offer several distinct services, because each one gets its own page. A page about water heater installation is much more likely to show up for that search than a single page listing twelve services in bullet points. It also comes with an email address on your own domain.
Growth is for businesses that want to cover more ground, with room for 15 or more pages and an AI chatbot trained on your business to answer visitors' questions.
If you're torn between two plans, start with the smaller one. Adding pages later is easy, and we'd rather you spend the difference on something that brings in work.
What makes a service business website bring in calls
The sites that do well for trades and home services tend to have the same things in common:
- A phone number at the top of every page that can be tapped on a phone.
- A headline that says what you do and where, rather than a slogan.
- Real photos of your own work.
- A page for each main service, written the way customers describe the problem.
- Reviews, licenses or other signs that you're established.
- Pages that load quickly on mobile data.
Animations, stock photos and long sections about company values rarely make the phone ring. We'd rather spend the time on the list above.
When we're not the right fit
If you need an online store with hundreds of products, an elaborate custom brand identity, or a steady stream of original articles written for you, a specialist will serve you better, and we'll tell you so.

FAQ
Questions about Website Development
Yes. Once the build is paid for, the code, the written content and the domain are yours. If you ever leave us, we hand everything over, logins included. We don't rent websites.
Most Starter and Business sites go live 5 to 7 business days after we have your content: logo, photos, list of services and the towns you cover. Growth sites have a lot more pages, so allow a bit longer. When a project runs late, it's almost always because we're waiting on photos or text.
Your logo if you have one, the services you offer, your service area, your hours, and real photos of your work. Phone photos are fine. If you don't have any written copy, we'll draft it after a short call and you approve it before anything goes live.
Then the yearly fee on the Starter plan is $0. We build on the hosting you already have and hand you the keys.
Your domain renewal, hosting and maintenance, meaning we keep the site online, secure and up to date. Business plan clients get the first year free, and Growth clients get 39% off the first year.
