Website design and development for small businesses in London
A website with some nerve. Finished, not half-done.
We design it, write every word, make the images and build it properly, so it’s quick on a phone and readable by search engines from day one. A finished site, typically two weeks from our first call.
What usually goes wrong with a small business website — Stock, Empty, Obvious
A template, a stock photo of a handshake and a page that says “welcome to our website”. The owner was left to write the words, so the words never came — and the site says nothing.
We start from the other end: what your customers need to read, see and do. Then a design that makes them stop scrolling.
What’s included in a website build — Sorted Everything Out
The words
We write every page in your voice, after a proper conversation about the business.
Each page is written around what your customers actually search for, so it reads well to people and makes sense to search engines. You read and approve every line.
The pictures
Images made for your site — illustrations, graphics and scenes that fit the design — instead of the handshake photo every other site uses.
If you have good photos of your work, we’ll use those too.
The design
A look that belongs to your business, not a theme with your logo dropped in. Bold if you want bold, calm if you don’t — but never beige by default.
The build
Built in code rather than assembled from a template, and made for phones first. Pages are prepared ahead of time, so they arrive quickly instead of being assembled while your customer waits.
Search foundations
Page titles, descriptions, structured data, a sitemap and clean addresses, all in place before launch.
Replacing an old site? Every page that already brings in visits keeps its address or gets a proper redirect, so the new site doesn’t throw away what the old one earned.
A CMS you can use
Change a price, swap a photo or add a page yourself, without calling anyone. Or leave it to us on a care plan.
How a website project works — Short, Efficient, Organised
A call
You tell us about the business, the customers and the website you have now. We ask a lot of questions.
A plan and a quote
The pages you need, what they’ll say, and a price in writing before anything starts.
Words, pictures, design
We draft everything and show you. You tell us what’s wrong, and we fix it.
Launch
Live typically two weeks from the call, once we have what we need from you.

Website design questions — Speaking Entirely Openly
How much does a small business website cost?
Websites start from £1,995, with a quote in writing before anything begins. The price includes the words and the images. Hosting and ongoing help are a separate monthly care plan. The details are on the pricing page.
How long does a website take?
Typically two weeks from the call to a finished site, once we have what we need from you — mostly your time on a call, and anything you already have, like a logo or photos of your work.
Do I have to write anything?
No. We write every page after talking to you, and you approve it. If you enjoy writing you’re welcome to, but you don’t have to.
I already have a website. Can you redesign it?
Yes. We keep every address that already brings in visits, or redirect it properly, so a redesign doesn’t throw away what the old site had earned in search.
Can I update the website myself?
Yes. The site comes with a CMS where you can change text, prices and photos and add pages. If you’d rather not, small edits are part of the care plan.
Do you use templates?
No. Each site is designed for the business and built in code, not assembled from a theme.
