clicks a month from Google, June to August
Site went live in June. Clicks from Google have more than doubled since, and it's number one for its own name in Wakefield.
A website built by hand, by someone you've met.
Most small-business websites are a template somebody bought, with your logo and colours swapped in. They look fine on the day and slowly stop working: plugins go out of date, pages get heavy, and Google loses interest. We don't build them that way.

01 — What you getAs standard, not as extras
What's included
Built from scratch
Nicky writes the site itself — the structure, the styling, the lot. Nothing bolted on, nothing to keep updating, nothing for anyone to hack.
Fast on a phone
Most of your customers will find you on a phone in a car park. The site is built for that first, and the desktop version follows.
Found locally, from day one
Page titles, structured data, your sitemap and your Google Business Profile are all done as part of the build. Not an add-on, not a retainer.
Your words, your photos
Vicky gets the content out of you in conversation, not a questionnaire. Real photographs of you and your work, because that's what people buy from.
Accessible as standard
Readable text, proper contrast, works with a keyboard and a screen reader. It's the right thing to do, and Google rewards it.
You own it
The domain, the site, the lot. There's no rolling contract you've forgotten about and no fee for walking away.

03 — What it's likeTony, Sandal Carpets, Wakefield
Tony had a website. It just wasn't doing anything.
Tony has sold carpets in Sandal since the 1990s. He was paying £186 a month for a website with errors quietly stacking up where he'd never see them. Vicky sat in the shop with him, Nicky rebuilt it by hand, and we redirected every old page so nothing was lost.
Three months on it's number one on Google for its own name, clicks have more than doubled, and we still call in when nothing is wrong. That's the job: not a website, a shop that gets found.

clicks a month from Google, July to August
Rebuilt in July. Nearly eight times the Google clicks the following month, with people finding it for treatments as well as the name.
Search it yourself
“block paving restoration near me”
Searched on 5 September 2026. Second result, above Checkatrade and its 217 reviews, for a site we built and look after.
Search it yourself
“luxury carpets in wakefield”
Searched on 5 September 2026. Seventh on page one, three months after the site went live, alongside national chains and a three-floor showroom.
Both sites are a few months old, so these are early numbers, not a finished story. They're real, they're from Google's own reporting, and we'll keep updating them.
05 — Why people choose usThe bits an agency can't say
Two people. Not an agency, on purpose.
01
You meet us before we build anything.
Vicky comes to your place. No account manager, no sales call, no brief to fill in — an hour in your shop tells us more than any form.
02
Built by hand. You own it outright.
Nicky builds it, not a template. No plugins to break, nothing to hack, no rolling contract you've forgotten about. It's yours.
03
Found locally from day one.
Google Business Profile, page titles, structured data, sitemap — done at launch as part of the job, not sold back to you six months later.
04
Still here a year later.
You keep both our numbers. Vicky rings to see how it's going; Nicky fixes whatever breaks. We're not the cheapest — we're the ones who answer.
06 — Things people ask
Straight answers.
- Do you use WordPress?
- No. WordPress is a fine tool, but it needs constant updating and it's the thing that gets hacked. We build plain, fast sites with nothing to maintain, and we host them for you.
- Can I update it myself?
- Yes, if you want to — we'll show you how. Most of our clients would rather ring us, and that's fine too. Small changes are just part of looking after you.
- How long does it take?
- It depends on the site and on how quickly we get your content, but a typical business site is a few weeks from the first meeting, not months.
- What about my old site and domain?
- We move everything across, keep your domain, and redirect every old page so you don't lose anything in Google.
