Make sure your business is

Never ignored.

I build bespoke websites — and sort the Google Business Profile, socials and details around them — for North East barbers, cafés, salons, trades and new local businesses, so customers can find you, trust you and get in touch.

Concept builds

Three local businesses. Three customer journeys.

These are concept builds, created to show how different businesses need different routes to trust, contact and booking — not one repeated template.

Booking made impossible to miss.

Prices, proof and a one-tap booking route in the first screen — a barber's site has exactly one job.

  • Showing today's free slots turns "maybe later" into "book now".
  • Prices up front kill the "how much?" hesitation.
  • Reviews sit beside the booking route, where doubt actually happens.

The three things people check, first.

Hours, menu and where to find it — served warm, no scrolling required.

See the thinking
  • Hours and location first — the two things people actually check.
  • A menu taster sets expectations before they visit.
  • One obvious action: view the menu, then find the door.

Who it helps

Built for businesses customers search for locally.

The focus is small businesses where the next customer needs quick confidence: what you do, where you are, what it costs, whether you're trusted and how to get in touch.

What I do

New websites, refreshes and a cleaner online presence.

A strong website is the centre of it. From there, the same thinking can support bookings, enquiries, Google Business details and social links when they matter.

01

New websites

A bespoke site built from a blank page — ideal for new businesses or local firms that have relied on word of mouth and social pages for too long.

02

Website refreshes

Improve an old, thin or confusing site so it better reflects the business behind it — without rebuilding more than you need.

03

Booking & enquiries

Make it easy to book, call, ask a question or request a quote, with the right action repeated where customers are ready to use it.

04

Presence clean-up

Tidy the links, wording, photos, social profiles and your Google Business Profile so customers see one consistent, trustworthy version of your business.

What a build includes

The essentials, done properly.

No endless pages — just the things a customer needs to choose you. Tap any item to see what it means.

Mobile-first layout

Designed around how people actually browse local services — most of your visitors arrive on a phone, so that's where it's built to work first.

Clear services & pricing

What you offer, set out plainly, with starting prices or quote guidance so customers aren't left guessing what it costs.

An obvious contact route

Call, message, form or booking link — front and centre, repeated where people are ready to act, never buried.

Location & opening details

Map, areas served and opening hours, easy to find — the details people check before they commit to visiting or calling.

Trust signals

Reviews, photos, experience or qualifications, shown where you have them, so a new visitor has a reason to believe you. Real photos beat stock every time — and if you don't have professional images yet, that's fine; a strong first version can launch without them.

Google Business Profile

The listing that appears on Google Search and Maps. Set up from scratch or tidied to match your site — hours, photos, services and contact details all telling the same story.

Local search setup

Page titles, descriptions, local wording and clean structure, so you stand a fair chance when nearby customers search for what you do — with no overnight-ranking promises, because honest ones don't exist.

Straightforward pricing. Most new sites land between £250 and £450 — where yours sits depends on pages, booking, forms and how much of the content you'd like written for you. Agreed flat before any work starts, and your domain, site and logins stay in your name from day one. No agency runaround, no surprise invoices.
After launch

Launched is the start, not the end.

Most websites and listings go stale because nobody has time to keep them current. Small updates, new prices, fresh photos and a monthly once-over can be handled without you chasing.

Care plans from £30/month — or £60/month with Google Business Profile updates included. Optional, clearly scoped, cancel anytime.
How it works

A simple route from idea to live.

No complicated tech project — most builds go from first look to launch in around 1–2 weeks, once your content, photos and key details are ready.

See the 5-step process
1
Review

I look at your website, social page, Google listing or starting point and find the obvious friction.

2
Plan

We decide what a customer needs to see first, and the one action the page should drive.

3
Build

I create the first version — clear layout, useful wording and a proper contact route.

4
Refine

We adjust the wording and details until it feels true to your business.

5
Launch

It goes live, checked on mobile, with a clear handover of what you own and how it works.

All I'll need from you along the way: what you do and your prices, any photos you have, contact details, the areas you cover and your opening hours — plus links to any socials or your Google listing. That's it.

About

Your work should be easy to choose.

A good online presence does not need to be complicated. It needs to show what you do, where you are, why people trust you and what customers should do next.

Clear over clever

Design that helps customers act — not decoration that only looks impressive.

Plain English

No jargon, no forced agency tone — just the information customers need, written clearly.

Grows when it earns it

One strong website first; bookings, Google Business support and social links added when they are useful.

FAQ

Fair questions before you get in touch.

Do I need a full website or just one page?

Most small businesses can start with one strong page. If it shows your services, builds trust and makes contact easy, it can beat a bloated five-page site — and you can always add more later, once the first page is earning its keep.

Can you improve what I already have?

Often yes. If you already have a site, social page or Google listing, the first step is working out whether it needs a tidy-up, a clearer customer route or a proper website around it.

Who owns the website?

You do — outright. Domain, site, content, logins: everything is registered to you from day one, so you're never locked in or held to ransom.

I only use Facebook or Instagram. Is that a problem?

No. Social pages can be a useful starting point. A website gives customers one stable place to find your key details, while your social profiles and Google listing can still support it.

How does pricing work?

A flat price agreed up front, in clear terms, before any work begins. You'll know the cost before you commit to anything.
