One-page website
Everything above on a single page. Plenty for most one-person firms.

I want this oneA website that lets your work do the talking.
Nobody buys joinery from a description. They buy it from a photograph of something you made. So the site is built around the photographs.
01 · Your customers
What they’re actually trying to find out
Three questions, usually on a phone, usually in under a minute. A site that answers them wins the job before anyone else is even rung.
01
Show me something you’ve made
This is the whole decision. Wardrobes, a staircase, a kitchen, a set of sash windows — they want to see it big, and they want to see several.
02
Have you done my kind of job?
Someone with an awkward alcove wants to see an awkward alcove. Grouping the work by type does more than any amount of copy.
03
What’s the rough cost, and how long?
Bespoke work has no price list, but a range for a fitted wardrobe stops the enquiries that were never going to happen.
02 · What goes on it
What I’d put on a site for joiners
Not a template with your logo dropped in. This is what actually earns its place on a site for your trade.
- A gallery that opens properly — big photos you can click through
- Work grouped by type: fitted furniture, staircases, kitchens, windows, doors
- Before and after where you have it — it’s the most convincing thing you own
- The materials you work in, and whether you do hardwood
- Rough price ranges, so enquiries arrive already qualified
- How long the wait is — a busy diary is a selling point, not an apology

What it costs
Business website
A page per service and a proper gallery. Better if you want to be found for each job separately.

04 · How it works
Three steps. No meetings.
01
You tell me what you do
A few lines is enough — the work you take on, the area you cover, and the number you want the phone to ring on. Photos if you have them; if not, we’ll sort that out.
02
You get a mock-up
Within a few days you’ll have a link to a first version of your actual site, with your work and your words on it. Free, and nothing signed.
03
You say yes or no
Like it, we finish it and it goes live. Don’t, and that’s the end of it — you pay nothing and owe nothing.
What do you need from me to start?
What you do, roughly where you work, and a phone number. Photos of finished jobs if you have them — they matter more than anything I could write. If you have none, say so and we’ll work around it.
I haven’t got any photos. Is that a problem?
No. Plenty of firms start with none. We can build it around what you do have and add photographs later — a site with no photos beats no site at all, and I’ll tell you which three shots would do the most good.
Who owns the site afterwards?
You do. The address is registered in your name, the site is yours to keep, and if you ever want to move it somewhere else you can take it with you. There’s no contract tying you to me.
What about the address and where the site lives?
I sort both out. The address (the www bit) is registered to you, and hosting — the place the site actually sits — is £249 a year including backups and the padlock in the browser. You can also host it yourself if you’d rather.
How long does it take?
The mock-up is a few days. From your go-ahead to being live is usually a week or two, and most of that is waiting on photos and on you reading the text.
What if I want to change something later?
Small changes are part of the price while we’re building it. Afterwards you can send them to me as they come up, or take a care plan if you’d rather not think about it.
Want to see what yours would look like?
Send me a few lines about the firm. Within a few days you’ll have a mock-up to look at — free, and nothing to sign.

Tell me what you do and roughly where. I’ll come back within 24 hours, and within a few days you’ll see a first version of your site.
