What's broken
Most small business owners we meet have the same story. They tried to build a site themselves and ran out of time. They paid someone they found online and got something generic. They've been meaning to fix it for two years. Meanwhile their actual business — the bakery, the salon, the auto shop, the boutique, the bookkeeping practice — is doing fine on word of mouth. The website isn't the problem; the project of getting a website is the problem. Owners are afraid of being upsold, of taking on a project they don't have time for, of getting something that looks like everyone else's site.
i.Businesses we work with
Who we
work with.
Bakeries, cafes, restaurants. Boutiques and small retail. Salons, barbershops, spas. Auto shops and detailers. Bookkeeping and tax-prep practices. Small consulting and advisory practices. Photographers and videographers. Local agencies and studios. Pretty much any owner-run business with 1–25 employees and a real local presence. If your industry has its own page on this site (dental, legal, accounting, plumbing, etc.) start there instead — those pages are written more specifically.
ii.The job to be done
What a small business site
has to do.
-
i.
Explain what the business does — quickly.
Plain language. No "premier provider of best-in-class solutions." Just: bakery, salon, accountant, auto shop. Said clearly.
-
ii.
Build trust in under a minute.
Real photos of the business. Real owners. Real reviews. Visitors decide whether to walk in based on what they see.
-
iii.
Give a clear way to be reached.
Phone, email, address. Hours. Map. Contact form. Reservation link if relevant. All of it visible without hunting.
-
iv.
Hold up on a phone.
Most small-business searches are on phones. Big tap targets. Fast load. No pop-ups. No autoplay video. No clever-but-broken hamburger menus.
iii.What we focus on
What we do
differently for small business.
i.
We answer your questions before you have to write the brief.
We've built enough small-business sites that we know the questions. We ask first, you answer in voice memos or short emails.
ii.
Real photos of the actual business.
We help you scope a 90-minute local shoot. The shop, the team, a few products or services in action. Beats stock by a country mile.
iii.
Plain-language services.
Whatever you call it when a customer walks in is what we call it on the site. "Wedding hair" not "specialty bridal styling solutions."
iv.
A real reviews surface.
Google reviews pulled in live, or curated testimonials with real photos and first names. Real reviews from real customers — not floating quotes.
v.
A footer that does work.
Hours, address, phone, map, social, owner photo. Most small-business visitors check the footer first. We design it like the homepage.
vi.
All three services, bundled where it fits.
Most small businesses we work with end up with the website, the Google Business Profile, and the Care Plan. The bundle is the simplest way to get the whole thing handled.
Recommended mix
Small business is the case where all three of our services tend to fit together. The website does the trust work, the Google Business Profile does most of the local search work, and the Care Plan keeps everything current as hours, prices, and staff change. We'll always build whatever subset makes sense — but for most owners we work with, it's all three.
iv.FAQ
What owners
always ask.
How much of my time will this take?
Less than you fear. We do the heavy lifting. You give us 60–90 minutes for a kickoff call, photos and brand assets we already have, and one hour each on two rounds of feedback. Most small-business owners spend 4–6 hours of total focused time across the project.
What if I'm not technical?
That's most of our clients. We use a friendly content editor that works like a Google Doc. We'll demo it before kickoff, walk you through it after launch, and answer questions on email — no support tickets, no portals.
What if I want to do parts of this myself?
We'll happily quote a partial project. If you want to write the copy yourself, we'll give you a structure and edit. If you want to take your own photos, we'll guide you on lighting and angles. We're not precious about it.
