Business and brochure sites
The site most businesses actually need: fast, clear, credible, and built so you can update the words yourself without paying anyone.
Websites, E-commerce & Search
A website you own — not one you rent by the month.
Hand-built, fast, accessible and properly optimised for search. No page-builder subscription, no template with your logo dropped into it, and no arrangement where leaving means starting again from nothing.
What actually matters
Three things decide whether a site earns
Everything else is decoration. A beautiful site nobody can find, or that takes six seconds to load on 4G, is an expensive brochure.
It has to be found
Technical SEO, clean structure, real content written for the searches your customers actually type — including the town names. Local intent is where a small business can genuinely outrank a national one.
It has to be fast
Google measures loading, responsiveness and layout stability, and so does everyone on a phone in a car park. We build lean and host on our own UK infrastructure rather than a shared platform.
It has to ask for the business
A clear path from landing to enquiry, with the next step obvious on every page. Most sites lose people not to competitors but to indecision.
What we build
From one page to a platform
E-commerce
Product catalogues, personalisation, trade pricing, multi-supplier fulfilment, payments. Built on the same foundations as SmartGiftShop, which has run this for fifteen years.
Sport, clubs and venues
Golf clubs, sports venues, leisure centres and fitness brands are a particular strength — fixtures, memberships, bookings, tee times and club shops. ClubBrander came out of this work.
Content platforms
When the site is the product: many pages, structured content, search, and an admin your team can actually use without training.
Local search
Google Business Profile, local schema, town-level pages written with real local detail rather than a find-and-replace. Thin location pages actively hurt now, so we build fewer and better.
Hosting, care and support
Managed UK hosting, SSL, backups, updates and someone who answers the phone. Included as standard rather than sold as a bolt-on.
How it runs
Four stages, fixed price
-
One
What it has to achieve
Who you are trying to reach, what they search for, and what you need them to do. Half a day that saves a great deal of rebuilding later.
-
Two
Structure and words
Pages and content planned around real search intent. We write the first draft if you want — most people would rather we did.
-
Three
Design and build
Designed and built to a fixed price. You see it on a staging URL and can click through it long before anything goes public.
-
Four
Live, measured, improved
Analytics, Search Console and a review after the first few months, because the first version is never the final one.

- Holding your domain or DNS so leaving is difficult
- Dozens of thin town pages — Google suppresses those now
Common questions
What does a website cost?
A business site is usually £2,000–£6,000 depending on the number of pages and how much content needs writing. E-commerce and platforms start higher. Always a fixed price against a written scope, never a day rate.
Can we update it ourselves?
Yes — that is what the admin is for. Every heading, paragraph, image and price is editable, and the layouts stay intact so nothing can be broken by accident.
How long until we rank?
For local terms with genuine intent, weeks to a few months. For competitive national terms, longer and it depends on content. Anyone promising you page one by a fixed date is guessing.
What about the site we already have?
We will look at it honestly. Sometimes the right answer is a rebuild, sometimes it is fixing the speed and the structure of what you have for a fraction of the cost. We will tell you which.
Do you do the writing?
Usually, yes, and most clients prefer it. You know your business; we know what a search engine and a hesitant buyer each need to see. It works best as a first draft from us and your corrections on top.
