How we help

The problem we solve

Business owners know they need a professional website to represent them online and help get new leads and raise their level of professionalism. Most don't have the time or technical skills to create one or to look after it on an ongoing basis.

They're not proud of their website or even haven't got one.

Which means ...

Proud to refer people to their website.

More time and less worry/stress as it's taken care of.

More clients (the right ones) finding them online and getting more work.

Getting higher value clients as look more professional.

Which stops ...

Stress of doing stuff they don't really understand.

Fear of missing out on new work and seeing competitors excelling online.

What competitors are doing wrong

Big companies are impersonal and outsourced and don't care and not personal touch.

Lots of competitors will build the site and hand it back and leave it to the client.

Lots of competitors are overcharging.

Lots of competitors just grab a template and don’t think about what the client actually needs and their options are limited in terms of what they can offer. I can make sure that they have the right solution for them.

What makes us different

Might think I'm just a web designer. Real magic is my technical knowledge aligned with project management - bringing the right people together and getting everything set up, along with full website management and also my SEO knowledge to grow the website ongoing. Not many website designers offer SEO as part of it.

Not restricted to templates etc.

I come to web design from the IT route rather than graphic design.

As IT focused I keep up to date with latest software updates for my retainer clients and always focused on improving their sites.

Qualified project manager so good at bringing the right people together at the right time and taking care of it all to deliver the website project.

Experienced in business analysis so understand what a business needs from their website and get them the right solution rather than just create a template that looks nice.

Trigger points to work with us

Wasting a lot of time trying to amend or even manage their own website. What could getting that time back mean to you?

Haven’t got a website but see other people with one and know they should have one.

Fear of missing out on potential customers.

What would happen if your website went down - who would you ask and how long would they take to get back to you and sort it?

If you’re not proud of your website are visitors to it going to be?

If you look after your own hosting when it comes to plugin upgrade time do you really know what you’re doing? And what if it goes wrong?

Takes 3 months minimum for Google to properly find a website, so starting now better, even if just a one pager to get going.
