Work

Live sites, named clients, real local businesses

Everything below is live and you can visit it. We name the businesses and link to them because that is the only kind of portfolio worth anything — and because most agencies pitching for work in SE16 cannot show you a single client in the postcode.

3 projects, start to finish

What the business needed, what we built, and what changed as a result.

The Surrey Quays Photo Studio website

Photo studio on Lower Road, SE16

Surrey Quays Photo Studio

Surrey Quays Photo Studio is a walk-in studio on Lower Road — passports and visa photos, portraits, prints and photo gifts. Before the rebuild, everything went through the counter or the phone, which meant the studio was only taking bookings while somebody was standing in it.

We built a website with a separate, properly optimised page for each service, because "passport photos near me" and "family portrait studio" are different searches made by different people with different intentions. Each one now has a page written to answer it, with online booking and payment attached.

The Google Business Profile was rebuilt alongside it: correct primary and secondary categories, every service listed, real photographs of the studio instead of stock, and a review flow that asks customers at the point they are happiest.

  • Bookings and payments taken online, outside opening hours
  • A dedicated, searchable page for every service the studio offers
  • Print and photo-gift orders placed and paid for without a counter visit
  • One Google Business Profile that matches the website exactly
  • Website Build
  • Local SEO
  • Google Business Profile

The Alterique website on a phone

Tailoring and alterations in Walthamstow, E17

Alterique

Alterique is a tailoring and alterations studio in Walthamstow. The problem was wasted journeys in both directions: customers travelling in to ask what a repair would cost, and the studio spending its day quoting instead of sewing.

The site we built inverts that. A customer photographs the garment, describes what they want doing, and sends it through the website. The quote comes back without either side leaving the building. Call and WhatsApp are one tap from every page, because for a business like this the phone is still the main channel and pretending otherwise loses work.

Everything is designed for a phone held in one hand, because that is where the photographs are taken and where the whole interaction happens.

  • Quotes requested from a photograph, with no visit needed
  • Call and WhatsApp one tap away on every page
  • Enquiries captured outside opening hours
  • Found in local search for alterations across E17
  • Website Build
  • Local SEO

The SQ Management website

Custom system for Surrey Quays Photo Studio

SQ Management

SQ Management is the system that runs Surrey Quays Photo Studio behind the scenes, and it exists because off-the-shelf software did not fit how a walk-in studio actually works.

It handles orders and the jobs queue for staff, generates Stripe payment links and invoices, and hosts private client galleries where customers view their own photographs and order prints directly.

We include it here because it is the honest answer to "can you build more than a website". When a business has a process that does not fit existing tools, we build the tool.

  • Orders and staff jobs tracked in one place
  • Stripe payment links and invoices generated on the spot
  • Private client galleries with print sales built in
  • No monthly per-seat fee for software that half fits
  • Custom software
  • Online payments

Shown with sample data. Real customer details never leave the system.

How a project runs

Four steps and one point of contact, from the first call to launch day.

  1. Talk

    Tell us about your business, your customers and what you want to change.

  2. Plan

    You get a clear plan, timeline and quote before any work starts.

  3. Create

    We design, build and shoot, and you see progress at every stage.

  4. Launch and grow

    We go live, then keep marketing, measuring and improving.

What we will not show you

A note on the portfolio, because it is worth being straight about this.

We are a young agency. There are three projects on this page, not thirty, and we would rather show you three real ones than pad the list with template sites and stock mockups. Two of them are live and you can click through to them right now. The third is internal software, shown with sample data, because real customer records are not ours to publish.

If you want to talk to a client before you commit, ask. We will put you in touch with Surrey Quays Photo Studio on Lower Road, or with the studio in Walthamstow, and you can ask them what we were like to work with rather than taking our word for it.

Tell us about your project

Share what you need and we will reply with a plan and a fixed quote. The first conversation costs nothing.
