Websites for accountants and bookkeepers

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Most accountancy websites say the same three things: we’re friendly, we’re proactive, and we offer a full range of services. None of it helps someone decide. A farmer, a landlord and a new limited company director each want to know whether you work with people like them, what it will cost and whether you’re properly qualified. Plenty of people only look when something has gone wrong, so they want answers quickly.

Websites for agricultural contractors

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Most agricultural contractors get their work through the farmers they already know. A website matters when someone new is looking: a farmer who’s lost their usual contractor, a new smallholder, or a neighbour two valleys over. They’ll look you up on a phone, often standing in a yard with poor signal, and they want three things quickly: what you do, what kit you use and whether you’ll come out to them.

Websites for barbers and barbershops

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Most people choosing a barber have three questions: how much, when, and is it any good. A lot of barbershops answer those on Instagram and nowhere else. That works for people who already follow you. It doesn’t work for someone new to town searching on their phone at lunchtime, or visiting family for the weekend and needing a tidy-up.

We build a short, clear site around those questions. The homepage shows your opening hours and a booking button. The price list covers every cut, beard trim and shave, with kids’ and OAP prices where you offer them. If you take walk-ins, we say so plainly, along with the times you tend to be quieter. If you only work by appointment, we say that too, so nobody turns up and gets turned away.

Websites for builders and joiners

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Most builders get work from word of mouth, and the website is where that word of mouth gets checked. Someone hears your name from a neighbour, looks you up, and wants to see a job like theirs, the area you cover and a way to ask for a price. Too many builder sites are a logo, a phone number and a stock photo of a hard hat. That’s enough to lose the job to whoever has better photos.

Websites for family and newborn photographers

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Parents choose a family photographer on two things: whether they love the pictures, and whether they trust the person behind them. The website has to show both quickly. Many photography sites fail on the first count because the galleries take ten seconds to load on a phone, and on the second because the price and the process are kept vague until someone fills in a form.

We start with the galleries. Every image is compressed and served at the right size, so your work looks sharp without the wait. Newborn, family, maternity and milestone sessions get their own pages, so a parent looking for one doesn’t wade through the others. You choose the images, and send new ones whenever your best work changes.

Websites for farm shops

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A farm shop website is mostly answering four questions before anyone gets in the car: are you open, what’s in, where exactly are you, and is it worth the drive. Most farm shop sites miss at least one of them. The hours are last year’s, the “seasonal produce” page was written in spring three years ago, and the map drops people at the wrong gate.

The fix isn’t a bigger website. It’s a small one that stays accurate. We build a clear homepage with today’s opening hours, a short in-season list you can change by sending us an email, and a proper page on where your produce comes from. If you run a café, it gets a menu people can read on a phone. If you take Christmas orders, there’s a pre-order form with collection dates and closing dates in plain sight.

Websites for florists

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A florist’s website does three quite different jobs. It’s a portfolio for couples planning a wedding a year ahead. It’s a calm, simple place for a family ordering funeral flowers at short notice. And it’s where someone checks whether you can get a birthday bouquet to their mum’s village by tomorrow. Most florist sites try to do all three on one crowded page, and none of them done well. The result is phone calls asking things the site should have answered.

Websites for holiday cottages and B&Bs

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Most holiday lets and B&Bs get their first bookings through the big booking sites, and pay commission on every one. That’s fine for being found. The problem is when guests who loved their stay come back the following year and book through the same site again, because there was nowhere else to do it. A website of your own gives them somewhere to go.

The key is linking to what you already use. If you run a booking system or a channel manager, we add its calendar or booking widget to the site so availability stays in step with the platforms. There’s no second calendar to keep up to date. A short line on why booking direct is better, whether that’s a better rate, a welcome hamper or flexible changeovers, gives guests a reason to use it.

Websites for nurseries and childminders

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Parents choosing childcare read carefully. They want the inspection report, the fees, the session times and whether funded hours can be used, and then they want a feel for what a day with you is like. If any of those is missing, they ring three other settings first, or don’t ring at all. A clear website saves you repeating the same answers on the phone during the busiest part of the day.

Websites for physiotherapists and sports therapists

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Someone searching for a physiotherapist is usually in pain and a bit fed up. They want to know three things fast: can you help with this problem, are you properly qualified, and when can they be seen. Many clinic websites bury all three under a page about holistic care and a stock photo of someone stretching on a beach.

We build the site around the patient’s question. The homepage says what you treat, where you are and how to book. Each common condition gets a short page in plain English: what it is, how you’d assess it and what treatment usually involves. You check every page for clinical accuracy before it goes live. A first-appointment page explains what to wear, how long it takes and what happens next.

Websites for hairdressers and hair salons

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Most people choose a new hairdresser on their phone, often in the evening, after looking at two or three salon websites. They want to see what a cut and colour will roughly cost, which stylist is right for them, and how to book a slot without ringing during the day. For £47 a month we design, write and host a website for hairdressers that answers all of that, with no setup fee and no contract.

Websites for osteopaths and chiropractors

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Someone looking for an osteopath or chiropractor is often in some discomfort and a little unsure what they’re signing up for. They want to know that you’re properly registered, what actually happens in a first appointment, what it costs and how soon they can be seen. For £47 a month we design, write and host a website for osteopaths and chiropractors that answers those questions plainly, with no setup fee and no contract.

Websites for bakeries

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A bakery website mostly answers questions people would otherwise ask at the counter or down the phone. What’s baked today, what time you close, whether there’s anything they can eat with a nut allergy, and how much notice you need for a birthday cake. Every one of those questions answered online is one less interruption at seven in the morning.

Celebration cakes deserve their own page. They’re often the most profitable work a bakery does, and the enquiries are usually vague. A good form asks for the date, the number of guests, flavours and any allergies, and states your lead time and deposit terms. Add a gallery of cakes you’ve genuinely made and the enquiries that arrive are ones you can quote for straight away.

Websites for beauty salons and nail technicians

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A beauty salon website is really a menu with a door attached. People want to see what you do, what it costs, how long it takes and whether they can book tonight. Most salon sites either hide the prices in a PDF or rely on a booking app’s own listing, which looks like every other salon on the platform and does little to show what makes your room different.

We build the menu properly. Every treatment gets a price, a time and a line on what’s involved, grouped so someone looking for a lash lift doesn’t have to scroll past forty waxing options. Courses and packages are explained in plain terms. When prices change, you email us and we update it.

Websites for dental practices

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Most people arrive at a dental practice website with one question: can you see me? Too many sites dodge it. They talk about a passion for smiles and leave the patient ringing reception to find out the practice isn’t taking NHS patients and hasn’t for two years. That’s a wasted call for both of you.

We put availability first. The homepage says plainly whether you’re accepting new NHS, private or plan patients, and what to do if you’re not. When that changes, you email us a line and we update it, usually the same day. Next to it sits a clear fee list for private treatment and any monthly plans, with a link to current NHS charges where they apply. People who can see prices up front tend to book rather than shop around.

Websites for independent shops

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Independent shops win on things the big chains can’t copy: the stock you choose, the makers you know and the person behind the counter. The website’s job is to show that, and to answer the practical questions that decide whether someone makes the trip into town. Are you open, what’s new, can I collect it, and what’s on? A site that answers those quickly, on a phone, does more than a long one that doesn’t.

Websites for livery yards and riding schools

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Most livery yards and riding schools fill their places by word of mouth, and that still works. But when someone moves to the area, buys their first horse or wants lessons for their children, they search first. If they can’t find what livery includes or what a lesson costs, they ring the next yard that says so. A clear website also cuts down the calls you take in the middle of mucking out, asking the same three questions.

Websites for plumbers and heating engineers

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A heating engineer’s website has one job before anything else: telling people you can work on their system. In a town that usually means a gas boiler. Out here it could be oil, LPG, a heat pump or a back boiler nobody has touched in twenty years. If the site doesn’t say which you cover, people move on to the next result.

So we start with the basics. Your registrations go near the top: Gas Safe, OFTEC, MCS if you install heat pumps, and any manufacturer approvals. Then a clear page for each kind of system you look after, written in the words customers use. Someone with an oil boiler in a farmhouse should be able to tell in seconds that you’re the right person.

Websites for solicitors

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

People rarely go looking for a solicitor when life is going well. They’re selling a house, dealing with a parent’s estate or trying to sort out who takes on the farm. They want to know quickly whether you handle their kind of matter, what it might cost and whether you’re a properly regulated firm. Many law firm websites answer none of that, offering a long list of practice areas and a photo of a gavel.

Websites for videographers and film-makers

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A videographer’s website lives or dies on the first ten seconds of the showreel. If it buffers, or won’t play on a phone, most people leave before they see your best shot. Self-hosted video is usually the problem. We embed your reel from Vimeo or YouTube so it streams properly, and show a still frame until someone presses play, so the page itself loads fast.

The second problem is trying to talk to everyone at once. A couple planning a wedding wants emotion, a venue they recognise and a package price. A marketing manager wants to see a similar brief, a turnaround time and proof of insurance. We give each its own pages, with the relevant films and wording, on one site with one enquiry form.

Websites for wedding and event venues

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Couples usually find a venue through photos, on a phone, often late at night. By the time they reach your website they’ve already seen something they liked. The site’s job is to keep that going: show more of the place, answer the practical questions and make it easy to take the next step, whether that’s a brochure, a viewing or an open day.

Photos come first. Not empty rooms, but real weddings through the seasons: the barn laid out for dinner, the ceremony in the orchard, the evening with the lights on. We build galleries around those and credit the photographers who took them, which they appreciate and which keeps you on good terms with the people who recommend venues.

Websites for butchers

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The best thing a butcher can say online is where the meat comes from. Supermarkets talk about “British farms”. You can name the farm down the road, the breed, and how long the beef has been hanging. That’s the reason people walk past the chiller cabinet and come to you, and most butcher’s websites barely mention it.

So we start there. A page for the farms you buy from, with names, places and photos if the farmers are happy. A short explanation of how you hang and cut the meat. Cooking notes for the cuts people are less sure of, which also helps you sell more of the whole animal.

Websites for campsites and caravan parks

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Campers plan around details. Will the caravan fit, is there a hook-up, can the dog come, and are you open that weekend in October? If the website doesn’t answer, they book somewhere that does, or ring you at tea time to ask. A clear site saves you those calls and fills the pitches you’d otherwise leave empty. It also helps in the quieter months, when a clear page on early and late season stays can fill midweek gaps.

Websites for dog groomers

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Most dog groomers don’t need more enquiries. They need better ones. The phone rings with people asking what a groom costs, whether you’ll take a reactive dog, and if you have anything on Saturday. A good website answers those before anyone dials, and sends you the details of new clients in a form you can work through when you have time.

Pricing is the hardest part, because every dog is different. We get round it with starting prices by breed and size, covering full grooms, bath and tidies, nail trims and puppy introductions. A short note explains when matting or a heavy coat costs more. Owners accept a guide much more easily than a refusal to say, and you can still confirm the price when you see the dog.

Websites for electricians

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Most people only look for an electrician when something’s wrong or something’s changing. The lights keep tripping, the landlord certificate is due, or there’s a new electric car on the drive. They search, open two or three sites, and ring the one that looks most clearly qualified for their job. A site with a phone number and a picture of a plug socket doesn’t do that.

So we start with the paperwork. Your NICEIC or NAPIT registration goes near the top, with a link so people can check it. We explain Part P sign-off in a sentence, because plenty of customers have heard of it but aren’t sure what it means. Insurance details sit alongside. It’s dull, but it’s what people look for before they let anyone near the consumer unit.

Websites for independent estate agents

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Most buyers find property on the big portals, so an independent agent’s website has a different job. It has to win instructions. A seller who has seen your board in the village will look you up before deciding who to invite round. If the site is slow, generic or still showing a sold house from two years ago, the chain with the glossy brochure gets the call.

We build the site around valuation requests. A short form sits on every page, asking for the property type, location and timescale, and it emails you straight away. Sales and lettings get separate routes so landlords aren’t lost among sellers. For buyers, we link to the listings you already publish on the portals or through your listings software, so you don’t have to enter properties twice.

Websites for yoga and Pilates teachers

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A yoga or Pilates website has one main job: get the right person to the right hall at the right time. That sounds simple, but many teachers rely on a Facebook post, a laminated sign and a timetable on a website that still shows last autumn. New people won’t risk turning up to a dark village hall on a wet Tuesday.

We start with the timetable. Every class is listed with day, time, level and venue, in a format that reads well on a phone. Term dates and breaks are clear. When something changes, you email us and we update it, usually the same day. Each venue gets a short entry with a map, parking, access and, for halls tucked down a lane, a what3words location.

Websites for architects and surveyors

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Architects and surveyors sell something clients can’t see until it’s built. That’s why the portfolio does most of the work. Yet many practice websites show a handful of small images with no explanation, or a striking homepage that hides how the practice actually works. A couple planning a barn conversion wants to see one you’ve done, understand the steps and get a sense of the cost before they pick up the phone.

Websites for cafés and coffee shops

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Most people find a café on their phone, standing in the street or sitting in the car. They want three things quickly: are you open, what’s on the menu, and is it the sort of place they’d like. A café website that answers those in the first few seconds will do more for you than a long page about your story.

Opening hours are where most café sites go wrong. Winter hours, early closing on a Monday, the week you shut for a holiday. If the website and Google disagree, people don’t take the chance. We keep your hours in one clear place, update them when you email us, and help you keep your Google Business Profile in line.

Websites for counsellors and therapists

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A counsellor’s website does a delicate job. The person reading it might have been thinking about getting help for months, and they’re often reading late at night on a phone. They want to know whether you deal with the kind of thing they’re going through, whether you’re properly trained, what it costs, and how to make contact without having to pour everything out to a stranger in a web form. For £47 a month we design, write and host a website that answers those questions calmly and plainly.

Websites for roofers

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

People look for a roofer in two moods. Either there’s water coming through the ceiling after a night of wind, or they’ve been putting off a tired roof for years and finally want it done. A good roofing website works for both. One wants a phone number and a promise you’ll come. The other wants to see your work, check you’re a proper firm and send off a request for a price.

Websites for painters and decorators

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A painter and decorator lives on the finish, and the finish is exactly what people want to see before they ring. Most customers find you through a neighbour or a search, then look at your website to check the quality of your work, whether you cover their area and how to get a price. For £47 a month we design, write and host a website for painters and decorators that shows all three, with no setup fee and no contract.

Websites for independent restaurants

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

When someone searches for your restaurant by name, they should land on your own website. Too often they land on a review site, a delivery app or a listings page with an old menu and last year’s hours. That costs you bookings and, with the apps, a share of every order. A good website gives people a clear official answer.

The menu is the heart of it. Diners want to read it, with prices, before they commit. A blurry photo of a printed menu or a PDF that won’t open on a phone puts them off. We build it as a proper web page, with set menus, à la carte and Sunday lunch laid out clearly, and dietary markings that are easy to spot. When the season changes, you send us the new menu.

Websites for landscapers and gardeners

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Most landscapers and gardeners run two businesses at once. There’s the maintenance round, which pays the bills and needs steady, reliable customers in the right villages. Then there are the projects: a new patio, a stone wall, a garden replanted from scratch. They want different things from a website, and most garden sites only cover one, if that.

So we give each its own page. The maintenance page says what a regular visit includes, how often you come and which villages you cover. When the round is full, email us and we’ll add a short note so you’re not turning people away on the phone. The projects page shows finished gardens with before and after photos and a few lines on what was built. Photos from your phone are fine.

Websites for personal trainers and fitness coaches

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Most personal trainers start with an Instagram account, and for a while that’s enough. But when someone searches “personal trainer near me”, or a friend passes your name on, they want somewhere to check who you work with, what you charge and how to book. For £47 a month we design, write and host a website for personal trainers that answers those questions, with no setup fee and no contract.

Websites for tree surgeons and arborists

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Most people only need a tree surgeon once every few years, so they don’t have one in their phone. They search, look at two or three websites, and ring whoever looks safest and covers their village. A website for tree surgeons has to show three things fast: that you do the job they need, that you’re qualified and insured, and how to reach you. For £47 a month we design, write and host one that does exactly that.

Websites for cleaning companies

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Hiring a cleaner is a trust decision first and a price decision second. People are letting someone into their home, often when they’re not there, or handing over the keys to a holiday cottage worth a lot of money. A cleaning website has to answer that worry straight away, and then explain clearly what you do and where.

So trust goes near the top. Your public liability insurance, DBS checks for your team, how you look after keys and alarm codes, and a real name and face behind the business. If you’ve got Google reviews, we link to them. None of it is exciting, but it’s what decides whether someone fills in the form or moves on to the next result.

Websites for pubs and inns

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A pub website has a short list of jobs, and most pub sites get at least one wrong. The biggest is serving times. Bar hours and kitchen hours are different, and the families who arrive at quarter past two on a Saturday wanting lunch don’t come back. We keep the two clearly separate, so nobody is caught out.

Sunday lunch is often the busiest service of the week, and it books up. People want to see the roast menu, the sittings and how to reserve a table. If you use an online booking system, the link sits on every page. If you prefer the phone, the number is one tap away, with an enquiry form for large parties and functions.

Websites for garages and MOT centres

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Most people look for a garage with a reminder in their hand or a warning light on the dash. They want to know three things quickly: can I book it, what will it cost, and will you work on my car. A garage website that answers those in the first screen on a phone gets the booking. One that makes them hunt for a number usually doesn’t.

So booking comes first. If you already use an online booking or garage management system, we link straight to it from a clear button on every page. If you don’t, there’s a short form asking for the registration, the job and a preferred day, and it comes straight to your inbox. We don’t try to replace the systems you already run the workshop on.

Websites for street food and mobile caterers

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A street food business has two kinds of customer, and the website has to serve both. The first is the hungry person who follows you from market to market and wants to know where you are on Saturday. The second is the couple planning a wedding, or the organiser of a show, who might book you for a whole day. The second kind usually pays the bills.

For the first kind, the pitch schedule is everything. A simple list of where you’re trading, by date, which you update by sending us a message. Past dates tidy themselves away, so the page always looks current. Add a menu with prices that reads on a phone and your regulars always know where to find you and what you’ll be serving.

Websites for breweries, distilleries and cider makers

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Most people find a local beer, gin or cider by drinking it somewhere first. Then they search for it, and that search is your chance. If the website tells them which shops and pubs stock it, when the taproom is open and how to book a tour, you’ve turned one pint into a regular customer. Without one, that interest drifts off to whatever the supermarket has on the shelf.

We build the site around those questions. A stockists page grouped by town, kept current by email. A taproom page with hours that match Google, what’s pouring and the dates of events. A tours page with prices and a link to the booking tool you already use. Each drink gets its own short entry with tasting notes, strength and where the ingredients come from.

Websites for driving instructors

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Choosing a driving instructor is often a family decision. The learner finds you on a phone, and a parent checks you out before anyone pays for a block of lessons. Both want the same basics: are you properly qualified, do you teach manual or automatic, what does it cost and when could you start. A website that answers those clearly wins the enquiry over a name on a car roof sign.
