The honest starting point

Is Your Website Costing You Potential Customers?

Most service businesses do not have a traffic problem. They have a website that loses the people who already found them.

  • The website looks outdated

    A design that looks ten years old makes an established business feel less capable than it is.

  • It is difficult to use on a phone

    Text too small to read and buttons too small to tap send people straight back to search results.

  • Visitors cannot easily request a quote

    No visible form, no click-to-call button, and a contact page hidden at the end of the menu.

  • Services are not clearly explained

    One vague page listing everything you do, instead of a real page for each service you want to sell.

  • The business does not appear in local searches

    Competitors show up for "near me" searches in your towns and you do not.

  • The website lacks service-area pages

    Nothing on the site tells Google or a homeowner which towns and counties you actually cover.

  • Good Google reviews are not shown

    Years of five-star reviews sitting on a profile page instead of building trust on your website.

  • Competitors appear more established

    Sharper photos, clearer pricing and better structure make a smaller competitor look like the safer choice.

What we do

Four services, built around one outcome

More qualified enquiries from the people already searching for what you do.

Service 01

Lead-Generation Website Design

A website built to turn visitors into quote requests

Most service-business websites are built like a brochure. They describe the company, list a phone number somewhere, and leave the visitor to work out the rest. Homeowners comparing three contractors on a phone will pick whichever one makes it easiest to get a price.

  • Custom business website
  • Mobile-responsive design
  • Quote-request forms
  • Click-to-call functionality
  • Service pages
  • Service-area pages

What you get: A site where a homeowner can understand what you do, see that other people trust you, and request a quote in under a minute — on any device.

Service 02

Website Redesign

Keep the business you have built. Replace the website holding it back.

Your business has grown but the website has not. It was built years ago, it is awkward on a phone, and it no longer reflects the quality of your work. Rebuilding feels risky because the site still brings in some calls.

  • Modernization of outdated design
  • Improved mobile experience
  • Better calls to action
  • Improved speed and usability
  • Stronger trust and credibility
  • Conversion-focused page structure

What you get: A modern site that keeps your existing rankings and content strengths, fixes what is losing you enquiries, and finally looks like the business your customers actually meet.

Service 03

Local SEO

Be the business people find when they search in your area

When someone in your area searches for the work you do, the businesses at the top get the call. If your site has no service-area pages, thin service content or a neglected Google Business Profile, you are invisible for the searches that matter most.

  • Keyword research
  • On-page optimization
  • Service and location pages
  • Google Business Profile support
  • Technical SEO
  • Local search strategy

What you get: Steady visibility for the services and towns that produce your best jobs, with reporting that shows what moved and what is next.

Service 04

Landing Pages

Focused pages for the campaigns and areas you are pushing hardest

Sending paid traffic to your homepage wastes it. Someone who clicked an ad for driveway replacement in a specific town should land on a page about exactly that, not on a general overview of everything you offer.

  • Campaign-specific landing pages
  • Location landing pages
  • Service landing pages
  • Quote-generation pages

What you get: Pages matched to what the visitor searched for, with one clear action, so more of the traffic you pay for turns into quote requests.

Why work with us

A studio that understands how service businesses actually win work

Strategy before design

We start with your services, your service area and the jobs you actually want more of. Layout decisions come after that, not before.

Built to generate enquiries

Every page has an obvious next step: call, request a quote or send a message. Nothing important is buried two clicks deep.

Local SEO from the beginning

Service pages, service-area pages and page titles are structured for local search while the site is being built, not bolted on later.

Clear pricing and project scope

You get a written scope with page count, deliverables and timeline before work starts, so there are no surprise invoices.

Mobile-first development

Most service-business visitors arrive on a phone. Layouts are designed for that screen first, then expanded for desktop.

Direct communication

You talk to the person doing the work. No account manager relaying messages, no ticket queue.

No unnecessary technical complexity

Fast, maintainable websites without plugin sprawl or systems you will need to pay someone else to operate.

Designed for long-term growth

Structure that lets you add services, locations and landing pages over time without rebuilding the site.

How projects run

    • Content outlines or full copy

    • Quote forms and click-to-call
    • Reviews and trust elements

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does a service-business website cost?

A refresh of an existing site starts at $1,000 and a new lead-generation website starts at $1,500. What moves the number is page count, how much content we write versus how much you supply, and any integrations you need. You get a written scope with a fixed figure before work starts.

How long does a website project take?

Most projects run three to six weeks from the discovery call to launch. The largest variable is content — how quickly we can get photos, service details and reviews from you. Larger sites with many service-area pages take longer, and we agree the timeline in writing up front.

Can you redesign my existing website?

Yes, and it is a large part of what we do. We audit what you have, keep the pages and content that already earn traffic, redirect anything that has to change, and rebuild the parts costing you enquiries.

Do you provide website content?

Yes. We can write service pages, service-area pages and supporting content based on a discovery call and your existing material. If you would rather write it yourself, we will give you outlines and a word count for each page.

Is local SEO included?

The structural side is included in every website build: page titles, headings, service and service-area page structure, schema markup, internal linking and a sitemap. Ongoing local SEO — monthly content, Google Business Profile work and rank tracking — is a separate monthly service.

Can you create service-area pages?

Yes. We build a genuine page for each town or county you want to be found in, with content specific to that area. We do not generate dozens of near-identical pages with the place name swapped out, because Google treats that as thin content and it can hurt you.
