We checked 2,191 local-business websites. Here is the problem.
2,575 websites belonging to nine trades across London, the Home Counties and the North, checked in October 2026. The average live site had 4.3 faults that cost it enquiries. Only 23 had none.

Industries

Each industry page explains what the site must do, what we usually find wrong, and the pages we build.
Managed websites
Send a photo. It is live tomorrow.
Most small-business websites die because nobody has time to update them. Ours stay alive with the thing you already do: taking a photo of the finished job. We add it with the caption, the area and the description written in, so the page keeps ranking.
- Hosting, security and backups included
- Prices, areas and services changed for you
- A monthly report in plain English
On a phone
Call, WhatsApp and a form in the first screen
Every page, every screen size. The sticky bar follows the visitor down the page and the WhatsApp message is already written for the service they were reading about.
Questions people ask us
What does the free website check involve?
We run thirty checks on your current site, from whether the phone number can be tapped to whether Google can read your business details, and we look at it the way a customer would on a phone. You get the findings in plain English within one working day, with what each problem costs you and what we would do about it.
Do you only work with tradespeople?
Trades are where we started and where our evidence comes from, but the same approach works for any local business that lives on enquiries: dentists, restaurants, nurseries, salons and clinics. Each has its own page on this site.
How much does a website cost?
We quote after the free check, because the right site for a one-man gas firm and the right site for a four-chair dental practice are different jobs. Every quote is fixed, itemised and includes the first year of hosting.
How long does it take?
Two to three weeks from the free check for most trades, three to four for builders and practices with more pages. The biggest delay is usually waiting for photos, so we help you gather them.
Can I keep my existing domain and email?
Yes. We move the site to your existing domain with no downtime and never touch your email. If you have no domain, we register one in your name, not ours.
Will you show my site as an example on yours?
Only with your written permission. There are no client sites, logos or reviews on this website, and that is deliberate.
