Websites for small businesses · set up, launched, handled
You bring the scraps. We hand back a finished website.
For businesses running on a Facebook page, a directory listing, or an old site that stopped working. Send what you have. We write it, design it, set it up and launch it. Then you take it over, or we keep it running.

IMG_2214.jpg · phone photoFig. 1 — A layout sketch, not your finished site.
01
No website yet.
Customers search for you and find a directory page with your name, and nothing else.
02
Living on Facebook or Instagram.
Your hours, prices and services are buried in old posts that people have to scroll for.
03
A site that stopped working for you.
Out-of-date details, a broken layout on phones, or a contact form nobody is sure reaches anyone.
Example sites · concepts for fictional businesses
Three businesses. Three different websites.
Each one is a real, working site built to show the range: a trade that needs the phone to ring, a café that needs people through the door, a practice that needs first-time patients to feel at ease. The businesses are invented; the work isn’t. Forms on them are demos and send nothing.
Hollis Tree & Yard
A tree and yard crew that needs the phone to ring and estimate requests to come in properly described.
Open the site
Saltbox Café
A harbor-side bakery café whose hours, menu and Friday late opening used to live in old social posts.
Open the site
Steadfast Physio
A physiotherapy practice that wants nervous first-time patients to understand what happens before they book.
Open the site
Same café. Same facts. Now people can find them.
Drag the handle. On the left, what a customer sees today. On the right, the same information turned into a site: menu, hours, directions and an order link, readable on a phone.

Coffee, bakes and soup on Harbor Street.

What you actually get
Customers find your hours, services and a way to reach you, on their phone, in seconds.
Inquiries land in your inbox. We send test messages before launch to prove it.
Your domain, hosting and code sit in accounts you own.
One person answers for the whole job, from the first call to launch day.
You give us the business details. We handle the rest.
Four steps, and most of the work is in the right-hand column. Your part is knowing your business; ours is everything technical.
| Step | You do | We do |
|---|---|---|
| 01Tell us about the business | You do · Answer a short guided form. “Not sure” is fine. | We do · Read it properly and reply with questions and a time to talk. |
| 02Call and written scope | You do · A short call, then send the photos and details you have. | We do · Put the pages, price, what we need from you and any running costs in writing before work starts. |
| 03Build and preview | You do · Review a private link on your phone. Send one combined list of changes, twice. | We do · Write, design and build the site; set up hosting and your domain in your accounts; make the changes. |
| 04Launch, then your choice | You do · Say yes. Then choose: take it over, or have us look after it. | We do · Connect the domain, send test inquiries until they arrive, and check every page live. |
Pricing · two choices
Both include full setup and launch. The difference is who looks after it afterward.

Questions owners ask
Do I have to set anything up myself?
No. You give us the business details and approve accounts in your own name, such as your domain and hosting. We do the setup, the launch and the testing.
Can I edit the site myself later?
Your site is custom-built, so there’s no drag-and-drop editor. The everyday details, like hours, prices, services and menus, live in one plain content file you can change in GitHub’s web editor, and the site updates itself.
Anything beyond that, ask us. Build & Manage includes a small monthly allowance for minor updates.
How long does it take?
Your date goes in the written scope. The clock starts once the scope is agreed and we have your content, and it depends mostly on how quickly content and feedback arrive.
What will I pay besides the build?
Your domain renewal, plus any hosting or paid services you choose, billed to you directly by those providers. With Build & Manage, hosting is part of care. Every cost is listed for your approval before anything is set up.
Who owns the website?
You do. Your domain and content are always yours. With Build & Handoff, the code and repository are handed over at launch. With Build & Manage, cancel any time and we move everything to accounts you own.
What if something breaks after launch?
With Build & Handoff, we fix defects in what we delivered for 14 days: anything that doesn’t work as agreed. New features, redesigns and later content changes aren’t defects and are quoted separately. With Build & Manage, keeping it working is part of care.
Tell us what you have. We’ll take it from there.
