Website design and build
Websites that get you booked, not admired.
Up to seven pages built round the one thing a customer wants from you: a table, a night's stay, a quote, a lesson. Designed on a phone first and fast on a Bude signal.
A Fast-Track Website goes live within a week of your words and photos being with us. Shops and bookings take longer.
You get one fixed figure in writing, after a short call, before anything starts.
What people tell us before they ring us.
Most local websites are built to impress the owner. We build them for the customer standing outside in the rain deciding whether to come in, or the one with a leaking roof who wants a human to ring back before dark. If the site helps that person act, it has done its job.
“It looks fine on the office computer. On my phone the menu is a PDF you have to pinch and the number isn't even a link.”
We design on a phone first. Your number, your hours and the one thing to do next sit in the first screen, and the menu loads on one bar of signal at Crooklets.
“I get plenty of visitors, apparently. Nobody ever fills in the form.”
We put the question a customer is asking at the top of the page and the answer directly under it, then one clear thing to do next: ring, book, order or ask for a quote. Then we watch what people do and change what is not working.
“Every quote I got was a different number and none of them said what I was actually buying.”
You get a one-page plan with the pages listed and one figure on it before anything starts. It only changes if you add something, and then you hear the new figure first.
What you are actually buying.
- A one-page plan in writing
- What we will build, page by page, and when it lands, with one fixed figure. In writing before any work starts.
- Up to seven pages, written for a phone
- Home, what you sell, who you are, where to find you, and the one page your trade actually needs: the menu, the availability, the patch you cover.
- Your number, hours and one button in the first screen
- A tap-to-call link, opening hours that match what Google shows, and one thing to do next. No hunting in a footer.
- Your words tidied, or written with you
- Twenty minutes on the phone gets us most of it. You read it back and change anything that does not sound like you.
- A Google Business Profile check
- We look at what Google already shows for your name, fix what is wrong and point the profile at the new site.
- Speed, accessibility and search checks before it goes live
- Measured on a phone on a real connection, and written down so you can see the numbers rather than take our word for them.

A tenth of a second off mobile load time lifted retail conversion by 8.4% and travel conversion by 10.1%.
How it actually runs.
You know the figure before the work starts, and you see the site on your own phone as it is built rather than at the end.
The chat
An hour on the phone or at your counter. What you sell, what is not working, what a good month looks like, and a straight answer on whether we can help.
The plan in writing
One page. The pages we will build, the one figure and the date it lands, all in writing before any work starts.
The build
You see it on your own phone as it takes shape, and nothing goes live until you have said yes to every page.
Launch, and after
We put it live, get it onto Google and show you how to change the menu yourself. Then we are a phone call away.
Fast-Track Website · up to 7 pages
Your week, day by day.
The clock starts when your words and photos are with us. Online shops, bookings and payments are a Bespoke Website and take longer; you get that date in writing before we start.

Days 2–3
The homepage, and the look
The homepage designed on a phone first. Its type, colours and layout set the pattern every other page follows.
Days 4–5
Every other page
Built with your words and photos, with the tap-to-call number, the contact form and the map in place.
Day 6
Checked, then your changes
Speed, accessibility and search basics measured on a real phone, every form tested, and your round of changes made.

The questions people ask first.
Last updated: 26 September 2026
If yours is not here, ring and ask. More of them, with the facts table, on everything you need to know.
How much does a website cost?
It depends on the size of the site, so we talk first. After a short call you get one fixed figure in writing, before any work starts. If you would rather pay nothing upfront, we can build it on a pay-monthly plan with no contract and hosting and upkeep included. The figure only changes if you add something, and then you hear the new one first.
How long does it take?
A Fast-Track Website, up to 7 pages, goes live within a week of your words and photos being with us. The week starts when they arrive, so if you have a deadline, say the start of the season, get them to us early. A bigger site, a shop or anything with bookings or payments is a Bespoke Website, which takes longer, and you get the date in writing before we start.
I already have a site. Do I have to start again?
Not always. Send it over for a free check. Sometimes it needs a rebuild, sometimes it needs a faster host, a phone number at the top and a proper Google profile. We will tell you which, and give you a figure for it in writing before anything starts.
Can I change it myself afterwards?
On a Bespoke Website, or the 15 and 50 Page Plans, yes: you get your own login for the words and photos, and we show you how in about twenty minutes. A Fast-Track Website does not come with a login, so you send changes to us instead. The Grow care plan includes 30 minutes of changes a month, and Lead 90.
Free website check
We’ll tell you what to fix first.
Send us the address you have now, or your business name if there isn't a site yet.
A real person looks at it on a real phone. If it is fine we will say so and you have lost nothing. If it is not, you will know which thing to change and roughly what that would cost.
