The index

Three things, in the order a business needs them

Websites first, because it is the only place online you fully own. Apps when the business is ready for one. Content and ads to feed both.

01WebsitesBuilt to rank and built to convert. Your Google Business Profile optimised alongside, so the site and the map listing pull in the same direction.02Mobile appsiOS and Android from one codebase, on infrastructure that bills for what you use and does not fall over on a busy day.03Social and adsCreatives, captions and campaigns that send people to the site you just built, with the numbers reported every week.

Range

Any kind of website. The same rigour underneath.

A venue, a D2C drop, a clinic, a startup, a restaurant. The look changes completely; the speed, the structure and the search foundations do not. Watch it change, or pick one.

The way it runs

Audit first. Then build. Then keep it busy.

Every project runs the same way, so you always know what happens next and what it costs. It starts with a free written audit of your business online, ranked by what is costing you customers. Then a fixed, itemised price with a launch date. Then a build you watch on a link on your phone every week.

At launch, hosting and domain go into your name. After that, if you want it, a monthly note with the numbers and the freedom to stop any month.

What we believe

Small on purpose. Built for the busy day.

Most small businesses are told a custom website is out of reach, so they get a template that looks like everyone else and a retainer they cannot leave. We think the opposite should be normal: one team from start to finish, sites that hold up when a reel goes viral, and everything owned by you.

So we say the true thing early. If you do not need an app yet, the audit says so. If your current site can be fixed instead of rebuilt, the audit says that too.

Before you call

The things people ask

How long does a website take?

Most business websites go live within a few weeks; ecommerce takes longer. You get a fixed launch date in the scope, and you see the work every week while it is being built.

Who owns the website, the hosting and the domain?

You do, from day one. Hosting and domain are set up in your name and we never resell them. If we part ways, everything stays with you.

Do I need an app, or is a website enough?

Most businesses need the website first. An app earns its place when customers come back every week and want to be a tap away. The audit will say which one you need, even if the answer is "not yet".

What does the free audit include?

Where you rank for the searches that matter, your Google Business Profile position by position, speed and mobile, how AI assistants describe you, and the path from social to your site. Every finding is tied to what it is costing you, ranked by impact. Yours to keep, whether or not we work together.

Is there a monthly fee?

Only if you want one. The build is a fixed price. Monthly care, social and ads are optional retainers that start after handover, and you can stop them any month.

Do you work with businesses outside your own city?

Yes. The work is remote-first: the audit, the build and the campaigns run over WhatsApp, calls and a link you can open on your phone. We take projects from anywhere.
