Websites for local businesses

Your business, open online even when the shop isn't.

I build sites for independent businesses — cafes, salons, tradespeople, consultancies — that do more than sit there. Visitors get their questions answered and can book an appointment without you lifting the phone.

What I offer

Three things every local site should do

Most small-business sites are a digital business card — a name, some hours, a phone number. These do more, without you needing to touch a line of code.

A site that looks the part

  • Designed around your business, not a generic template
  • Loads fast and works on any phone
  • Your real services, prices, and photos

An AI concierge that answers

  • Briefed on your hours, prices, and policies
  • Answers customers messaging at 11pm
  • No more silence until you're open again

Booking, without the phone tag

  • Customers pick a service and time themselves
  • Lands straight in your calendar
  • No missed calls, no double-booking

Featured work

What this actually looks like

Sable & Moss is a demo I built for a fictional boutique hair salon to show the full package working end to end — it isn't a live client, it's the reference build every project starts from.

AI concierge Booking flow Custom design

Sable & Moss — a full site, chat, and booking flow, live

Built to show what a client actually receives: a real design identity, not a template, plus the two features that turn a brochure site into a working front-of-house.

  • Custom visual identity — palette, type, and layout built for the brand, not reused from a kit
  • Working AI concierge answering hours, pricing, and policy questions
  • Full booking flow — service, day, time, and confirmation

How it works

Four steps, start to launch

You approve the design before anything goes live — no surprises, no site you didn't sign off on.

1. Discovery call

A short call about your business — services, prices, tone, and what you actually need customers to be able to do on the site.

2. Design & build

I design and build the full site — including the chat concierge and booking flow — and send you a private link to review.

3. Review & refine

You give feedback, I make changes. This goes back and forth until it's actually right, not just finished.

4. Launch & support

The site goes live on your domain. I stay on for fixes and small updates after launch — you're not on your own the day after.

Pricing

Fixed price, no hourly surprises

Three tiers, from a simple credible site to a full booking-and-chatbot build. Every tier includes design, build, and two weeks of support.

Why work with a studio just starting out

What you get instead of a long client list

I'm early — the case study above is the honest starting point. Here's what that actually means for you.

You approve it before it's live

Nothing launches without your sign-off. You see the full site in review before it ever reaches a customer.

Fixed price, agreed upfront

The quote from the discovery call is the price you pay — no hourly billing, no surprise invoice at the end.

Direct access to the person building it

No account manager, no handoff between departments — you're talking to the person actually writing the code.

Built on the stack in the case study

What you saw in the Sable & Moss demo isn't a mockup of what I could build — it's the actual foundation every project starts from.

Questions

Before you get in touch

How long does a build actually take?

Foundation and Standard sites are typically live within 2 weeks of the discovery call. Complete builds take closer to 3, since the chatbot needs briefing and testing.

Do I need to know anything technical?

No. You approve designs over email or a call, I handle the build, hosting setup, and domain connection.

Can I start small and add booking or chat later?

Yes — both can be added after launch rather than committing to the full build upfront. See the full FAQ →
