I build websites for local businesses that load fast on a phone and show up on Google, so more customers find you and call. Nothing to maintain, and changes are easy: make them yourself, or send them to me.
Most small business sites are slow, hard to change, and quietly falling behind on updates. Here's what you get instead.
Most customers search for you on a phone. Your new site loads quickly, and SEO is built in from day one: clear page titles, search descriptions and a sitemap, so Google knows what you do and where you work.
There are no plugins to keep updated, and out-of-date plugins are the most common way small business sites get hacked. There's very little to break and very little to attack.
Update your hours, swap a photo or post a seasonal special yourself in an editor simple enough to actually use. Or send it to me and I'll take care of it.
Your domain stays in your name, every change is saved in a full history, and the site's files can move to your own account whenever you ask.
Live sites I built and still look after.
