What we actually found

Every site loaded on an emulated phone on a normal 4G connection, the same way Google scores them. Here is the full spread, fast ones included.

Under 3s 42
3 to 5s 32
5 to 10s 65
Over 10s 34

Slowest one we measured took 41 seconds. It belongs to a roofer with a five-star rating, so the work is not the problem.

How it works

Most web people want a deposit and a meeting before you have seen anything. I would rather just build it.

I build it

Your business, your number, your Google reviews, the work you actually do. A real site, not a template with your name dropped in.

You look at it

I send a link. Open it on your phone next to your current one. The difference is the whole pitch.

You decide

Want it? It goes live on your own domain. Don't? I take it down. You have not paid a penny either way.

Have a look at one

These are made-up businesses, so nobody's real details are on show. The build is exactly what you would get.

What it costs

One price. No packages, no upsells, no "from".

£199one-off, to set it up and get it live on your own domain
£45a month after that. 12-month minimum, then rolling.
  • Your own domain, registered in your name
  • Built for phones first, because that is where they find you
  • Loads in under a second, and I will show you the timing
  • Your Google rating and reviews on the page
  • Tap-to-call, so they ring you in one tap
  • Set up for local search so you show up in your area
  • Hosting, updates and security included
  • Any changes you want, just message me
  • No lock-in after the first year

Straight answers

The things people actually ask.

Do I own the domain?

Yes. It gets registered in your name, not mine. If you ever leave, it goes with you.

What if I want to cancel?

12 months minimum, then rolling monthly with 30 days notice. No exit fee, no argument.

What happens if I stop paying?

It comes down, because I host it. But ask and I will hand you the files so you can put it somewhere else. It is your business, not mine.

Where did these speed numbers come from?

I loaded 173 real trade websites around Greater Manchester on an emulated phone and timed each one. Same setup Google uses to score sites. No cherry-picking - the full spread is on this page, including the fast ones.

My site is already quick. Then what?

Then you probably do not need me, and I will say so. I only get in touch when I have measured something specific and worth fixing.

Can you change it after it goes live?

Yes, that is what the monthly covers. New photos, new prices, a service you have added. Message me and it is done.

Do I need to know anything technical?

No. You will not touch a single setting unless you want to.

Want to see yours?

Tell me your business name and what you do. I will build it and send you the link.
