Websites & applications
Where is your next job coming from?
For most small businesses, not from the website. We design and build it, do the search work that decides whether anyone finds it, host it, and send you a report every month showing what it actually brought in — for one monthly fee with a one-off setup charge, and no minimum term to sign up to. Pay for a year up front instead and you save over two months.
Plus a one-off setup charge. No minimum term — or pay yearly and save over two months

The problem
Not enough work is coming in, and nothing tells you why.
This is the only problem that matters. Not design, not a redesign, not whether the logo is right — whether enough people who need what you do get in touch this month. Most small businesses have a website that has never produced a single traceable enquiry, and no way of knowing that is what is happening.
The work is going somewhere. It is going to whoever turned up first when somebody searched, and whose page loaded before they gave up. You never see that happen — there is no missed call to notice and no email to ignore, which is exactly why it goes unfixed for years.

Published research about how people behave, from named studies you can check — not claims about results we have produced. What we can show you is the sites we have built and the report you would get about yours, both below.
What’s included
Everything in the price
- Discovery, information architecture and interface design
- The build, with copy support where you want it
- Performance and accessibility treated as build constraints rather than a later pass
- Security headers, CSP and HTTPS set deliberately rather than left at the platform default
- SEO fundamentals: metadata, structured data, sitemap and Core Web Vitals
- Two months of search work: your Google Business Profile claimed, categorised and filled in properly, and the on-page and content work that decides which searches you turn up for
- Hosting, monitoring and the updates that keep it secure, for as long as you are with us
- Analytics and conversion tracking, so you can see what the site actually brings in
- A report every month: who visited, which pages they read, what they searched to get there, and how many of them got in touch
- The ordinary upkeep of a working site — copy edits, new photos, opening hours, prices, a new service
Sites we built
Go and look at them rather than take our word for it
Every one of these is live, and every one is ours. Open them on a phone — that is where your customers will — and see how fast they come up.
lawtonelectricco.com
An electrical contractor in Lawton, Oklahoma. A service page for each trade, a quote form that reaches them, and written guides answering what people in that town actually search before they ring anyone. The ordinary version of this service rather than a showpiece, which is the point.
Visit the site →dentalcloud.io
A photo platform for dental practices: patient timelines, shareable case portfolios, accounts and billing behind it. A product rather than a brochure, built and run by us.
Visit the site →toothcheck.io
A second-opinion service where patients upload X-rays for a dentist to review. Uploads, payments and a review workflow — the kind of build that starts as a website and turns into an application.
Visit the site →seeeverymoment.app
An event photo tool with QR-code guest uploads and a live slideshow. Media handling at volume, on the same hosting and the same security headers as everything above.

What it costs
Setup once, then one fee. Nothing to sign.
A one-off setup charge of $219 covers the build. After that it is whichever of these suits you, and there is no minimum term either way.
Monthly
$89/mo
Month to month. Cancel and the next payment simply does not happen.
Yearly — save over two months
$799/yr
Paid up front. Cancel part-way through and we refund the unused whole months.
Local search
The Google listing often outranks the website
Someone searching for what you do gets a map with three businesses on it before they get a single website. The profile setup is already in the package above — claimed, categorised, services listed, real photos up.
What is not in it is telephoning your past clients for the reviews that decide which three appear. That is days of calls rather than an afternoon of setup, so it is priced separately — and it can be bought for a site we did not build.
Start a build
Tell us what the site has to do, and we will price it before we start
What you sell, who you sell it to, and whether you have a site now. You get scope, price and a date in writing before anything begins — and if we think you would be better served by fixing your Google profile and leaving the website alone, we will tell you that instead.
What’s not included
Where we stop
Being specific about the limits is cheaper for both of us than discovering them halfway through.
- Web applications — accounts, portals, payments, uploads, integrations. Those are a different kind of build entirely: quoted as a project first, and then run on a monthly fee once live. This price is for a website
- Review generation. Setting your Google Business Profile up properly is included; ringing your past customers to ask for reviews is the separate engagement below, because that is days of phone calls rather than an afternoon of setup
- A redesign, or a new feature. Ordinary upkeep is included; a rebuild is a separate quote, and we tell you which one you are asking for before doing the work
- Paid advertising management
- Incentivised or gated review schemes. Both breach Google's policies and risk your profile being penalised
Questions
The things people ask before saying yes
- Do you build more than marketing sites?
- Yes, and those are priced differently to the monthly fee above. The three products we run today are applications rather than brochures: a photo platform with patient timelines and shareable case portfolios, a second-opinion service where patients upload X-rays for a dentist to review, and an event photo tool with QR-code guest uploads and a live slideshow. A build at that scale is quoted as a project, and then runs on a monthly fee once it is live, because something with accounts and payments in it needs watching in a way a website does not. The monthly fee on this page is for a website.
- Who owns the site?
- You do. If you leave, it goes with you — no exit fee, no handover charge, and if you want the files you get the files. We would rather keep you because the work is good than because leaving is painful.
- What is the minimum term?
- There isn't one. There is a setup charge at the start, paid once, and after that it is month to month: cancel and the next payment simply does not happen. A minimum term protects us rather than you, and we would rather keep you because the site is working than because leaving is awkward. If you would rather not think about it monthly, pay for a year up front and save over two months.
- What is in the monthly report?
- How many people visited, which pages they actually read, what they searched to arrive, where they came from, and how many of them got in touch. It is your own site's data rather than a benchmark against anyone else, and it is there so you can tell whether the site is earning its keep — including the month where the honest answer is that it is not, and something needs changing.
- Are domains and email included?
- No, they are quoted separately because it depends what you want. We will set you up on Google Workspace, Microsoft Outlook, or an EU-hosted alternative if data residency matters to you.
- Is Google Business Profile included?
- Setting it up properly is, and the review calling is not — the line between them is worth understanding before you buy either. Included: the profile claimed, verified, categorised correctly, every service listed separately, service areas and hours right, real job photos uploaded. That is an afternoon of careful work and it is part of the two months of search work. Not included: ringing your past customers to ask them for reviews. That is days of phone calls, it is the part that actually moves you up the map, and it is the separate engagement described further down this page — which you can also buy for a site we did not build.
- Can you work with the site we already have?
- Sometimes. If it is on a platform we can maintain properly we will say so; if keeping it would cost you more than replacing it, we will say that instead.
- What if I want changes later?
- Ordinary upkeep is what the monthly fee is for: copy edits, new photos, opening hours, prices, a service you have started offering. Send them over and they get done. A redesign or a new feature is a separate quote, and we tell you which one you are asking for before doing any work rather than afterwards.
