Start From Where You Are
Where are you right now?
Tell me where you are and I’ll tell you exactly what would help — no obligation, no jargon.
No website yet
You rely on Facebook, Instagram or word of mouth
Social profiles are useful but they don’t always show up when someone Googles you — and you don’t own them. A website gives customers a reason to trust you before they pick up the phone.

Existing website
Your website exists but isn’t bringing in work
A slow, outdated or hard-to-find website can put customers off rather than win them. I’ll look at what’s holding it back and fix it — or build something better if that’s what it needs.

Already online
You’re online and want to keep growing
Staying visible online takes consistent effort. I look after your website, Google listing and social content each month so you can focus on running the business.

Simple Process
Getting started is straightforward
1
We have a chat
Tell me where your business is right now and what you want to improve online. No jargon, no sales pitch, no obligation — just a straight conversation.
2
You get a clear recommendation
I explain what needs doing, what can wait, and what it will cost before anything starts — whether that is a website, Google listing, social content, or a small rescue job.
3
The work gets done properly
Your website, Google listing or online content is improved with the practical details covered, so more customers can find you, trust what they see, and get in touch.

What clients say — and why they stay
“Working with Michael was a pleasure. He knows his stuff and made the process entirely painless. The website he created had to be complex, yet he created it to be used with ease. Any business would benefit from Michael’s knowledge and creativity.”
“Michael communicated with users to understand exactly what we needed, then delivered an amazing result — from beginner all the way through to the most experienced. The aesthetics, design and user experience were all superb.”
“I found the report really comprehensive and useful — it helped me step back and consider how a customer might experience the site. Each element was scored out of 100 with a clear explanation of why, along with practical suggestions for improvement. That made it easy to understand where to focus my attention.”
