Why this matters

What we'd use

Working out what fits your situation…

Doing it

Step by step

  1. Write the brief before you build

    Service, area covered, who it is for, the offer, and exactly how someone gets in touch.

  2. Build the one page that matters

    What you do, where, proof you are real, and a contact method. Extra pages can wait.

  3. Connect the domain and test on a phone

    Point the domain at the site, then check the contact route works from a phone, not just a laptop.
