Most agencies build something that looks good and hope for the best. We build WordPress websites structured to rank across the areas you serve and designed to turn visitors into enquiries, because that’s the only reason you’re paying for one.
Fixed price, agreed before we start. No hourly billing.
A removals firm whose site had no schema markup at all, thin copy across its service pages, and nothing telling Google which areas it covered. Average position on “removals company near me” was 9.9, outside the map pack across most of the patch.
Rewrote the home page and all eight service pages, added location pages for the areas they serve, and put schema markup across the site. Citations updated across both profiles so the details matched everywhere.

Plenty of agencies say they build with SEO in mind. Fewer build with local search in mind, and for a business that works within ten miles of its base, that difference is everything.
Local SEO is our main business. So every site gets built the way we’d want to find it later.
None of that costs extra. It’s just what happens when the person building the site is the person who’d otherwise have to fix it.
Want to know what we’d do with yours?
Get a quoteMost local business websites we’re asked to look at aren’t disasters. Someone built them, they load, the phone number’s on there somewhere.
They just don’t do anything.
one page listing everything you do means visitors can’t tell if you handle the specific job they need, and Google can’t tell either.
traffic arrives, reads a bit, and leaves. No obvious next step, nothing that makes picking up the phone the easy option.
nothing on the page tells search engines what you do or where you do it. No matter how good the site looks, you won’t turn up when someone nearby goes looking.
A beautiful website nobody finds is an expensive brochure in a drawer.
If you cover eight areas, Google needs eight reasons to believe it. Not one page with the town swapped, real pages with real detail. This is the single biggest structural difference between local sites that rank and ones that don’t.
One page listing everything you do ranks for nothing in particular. Separate pages mean each can rank for the search that matches it, and visitors land somewhere relevant rather than somewhere general.
Number in the header, on every page, tappable on mobile. Forms short enough that people finish them. It sounds too simple to matter, it’s the most common thing we fix and the change that shows up fastest.
Most visitors are on 4G, standing outside, choosing between you and someone else. A site that takes six seconds has already lost. We build light and test on real connections.
We inherit a lot of websites. Some were built by a friend of the family, some by a bargain freelancer, some on a builder platform by the owner at eleven at night. The same problems come up over and over.
Fixing a badly built site usually gets close to the price of building a new one properly, and you still end up on foundations someone else chose.
You own it outright from day one. No monthly build fee, no finance agreement, and nothing that gets more expensive the longer you stay.
Final price depends on how many pages, how many locations, and whether you need e-commerce or booking. You’ll get a fixed number before anything starts. No hourly billing, no scope creep.
Most clients pair a new site with ongoing local SEO, since a site that ranks needs both. More on local SEOWhat site work did for a removals firm

Before any design happens, we map the pages, services, locations, the lot, based on what people actually search for in your trade. Get this wrong and no amount of design rescues it.
Built in WordPress, on your branding, with content written for your services and areas. You see it come together rather than getting one big reveal at the end.
Every page, every form, every device. Redirects mapped if you’re replacing an existing site, so you keep the rankings you already have, a step that gets skipped constantly and is painful to undo.
Search Console monitored, teething issues fixed, and a walkthrough so you can update things yourself if you want to.
You’ll find agency websites arguing that a team beats an individual every time. They would, and for some projects they’re right. A multi-region e-commerce platform with an integration list needs a team, and you should hire one.
For a local service business website, the maths goes the other way.
The person who takes your first call is the person writing your service pages and mapping your redirects. No brief passed to a designer, then a developer, then an account manager.
Agencies staff smaller projects with their least experienced people. That’s not a criticism, it’s how the model works. Your project is a small one to them.
A £3,000 build is a rounding error to a 100-person agency and a meaningful project to me. That shows up in how quickly you get answered.
We don’t build e-commerce platforms, hotel booking systems, or brand sites for startups. Service businesses that need the phone to ring, that’s the list.
Your site and domain are managed on our infrastructure. That’s deliberate, updates, backups, SSL, renewals and security get handled without you thinking about them, and when something breaks there’s no three-way conversation with a hosting company who’s never heard of you.
What it doesn’t mean is that we hold your business hostage.
Free · no notice period · no retention call
Domain, site, the lot, moved to your own account or to whoever you choose, free, whenever you want it. You don’t need a reason and you won’t get a retention call.
No proprietary system, no bespoke framework only we understand. Any developer can pick it up and carry on.
The site doesn’t stop working if you stop working with us.
Realistically, from a few hundred pounds for a template to five figures for something bespoke. For a local service business with proper service and location pages, most sensible builds land in the low thousands. Our builds start at £750 plus £100 a year hosting. Below about £500 you’re getting a template with your logo on it, fine for some businesses, a false economy for most.
Usually four to eight weeks from first conversation to launch. The biggest variable is content: how quickly we get photos, service details and sign-off from you. Sites where the owner is responsive move considerably faster.
SEO first, always. Page structure, URLs and how services and locations relate to each other are SEO decisions, and they’re made before anyone picks a colour. Design applied on top of a sound structure works fine. A structure retrofitted onto a finished design usually means rebuilding half of it.
Often it can be improved. If your current site is reasonably fast, works on mobile and isn’t structurally broken, adding proper service and location pages is cheaper and quicker than starting over. We’ll say which applies after looking, and we say “keep it” more often than you’d think.
Yes. It’s WordPress, and we’ll walk you through the parts you’ll actually want to change: text, photos, opening hours. Plenty of clients would rather we handle updates, which is also fine. You’re never locked out of your own site.
Yes, sites are built and hosted on our infrastructure, with updates, backups, SSL, domain renewals and security monitoring included. If you ever want it all moved to your own account, ask and we’ll transfer it. Free, no notice period, no retention call.
It’s £100 a year. That covers the server, SSL certificate, daily backups, plugin and WordPress updates, domain renewal and security monitoring. It’s a running cost rather than a lock-in, but worth knowing that an unmaintained WordPress site is the most common way small businesses get hacked, so someone needs to be doing it.
This is the risk nobody mentions. Replacing a site without mapping redirects properly can wipe out rankings you’ve spent years building. Every URL on your old site gets mapped to its new home before launch, and we watch Search Console closely afterwards.
Yes, included. You tell us about your services and send photos; the writing is ours, written to rank, not padded to fill space.
Small ones, yes. Large or complex e-commerce isn’t our specialism, and we’d point you at someone better suited rather than learn on your budget.
For most local service businesses, yes. You own it, it’s flexible, it handles location pages and blogs properly, and any developer can pick it up if we ever part ways. Builder platforms are quicker to start with and harder to rank and move later.
