Website Build
Fast, mobile-first websites built around what your customers came to do: book, buy, call or find you.
A small business website has one job: turn someone who is already looking for what you sell into a booking, an order or a phone call. Most of the sites we replace fail at that for dull reasons — they take five seconds to load on a phone, the phone number is an image, the booking form is three clicks deep, or the whole thing was built for a desktop screen nobody uses any more.
We build every site mobile-first and pre-rendered, which means the page arrives as finished HTML rather than being assembled in the browser. It loads in about a second on mobile data. That is not a vanity metric: page speed is a confirmed Google ranking signal, and it is the difference between a customer waiting and a customer tapping the next result.
The detail behind each part of the service.
We design the site around what you actually sell and how customers actually decide. That usually means fewer pages than you expect, each one doing a clear job, with the booking or the phone number never more than a tap away.
Online booking, Stripe payments, deposits, order forms and quote requests. We built the full booking, print-order and gift-order system that runs Surrey Quays Photo Studio, plus the photo-to-quote flow for Alterique in Walthamstow, so this is well-trodden ground rather than an experiment.
Correct heading structure, clean URLs, meta titles and descriptions written per page, structured data for your business and services, a sitemap, and Google Search Console connected before launch. Retrofitting this later costs more and works less well.
We host, monitor, back up and keep the site current, and you get one number to ring when something needs changing. No dashboards to learn and no plugin updates to worry about.
Live, named, local. Have a look and judge the work for yourself.

What people ask about website design and development.
A focused small-business site is usually three to five weeks from the first conversation to going live. Larger builds with booking systems, payments or a lot of pages run six to ten weeks. You get a timeline with the quote, before any work starts.
A one-page site is £299. Most small-business sites are £499 or £799, depending on how many pages you need and whether you want booking or payments. Online shops and custom systems are quoted individually. Full detail is on the pricing page.
Yes. You own the design, the content and the domain, and you can take the site elsewhere whenever you like. We do not hold anything hostage.
Usually, yes — and if the existing site has search rankings we are careful to keep them, with redirects mapped before launch rather than after. Send us the address and we will tell you honestly whether it is worth rebuilding or repairing.
It is designed on a phone first, because that is where most of your customers are. We test on real devices on mobile data, not just a narrow browser window.
All three work better together, but none of them requires the others.
We get you found by people already searching for what you sell, then keep them coming back.
Photography, video and design that give your brand a look people remember.
