"Open now". "Near me". "Do they stock it?" That's how people shop locally today: they check before they walk. A shop with no website is invisible to those searches, and the sale goes to a chain, a marketplace, or the shop that does show up.
The good news: a shop website doesn't need to be an online store. Most independents don't need baskets, stock syncing and delivery logistics. They need something much simpler: a page that says what you sell, which brands you carry, where you are, when you're open, and how to ask "have you got one in blue?".
That's what we build. Your shop, your range and your story, presented properly, with your opening hours structured so Google shows them, and a WhatsApp button so a customer can ask about a product or reserve one before coming in.
Start with an online application and your site is live in 7 days or less, from £249 as a one-off payment. New stock or new hours? Message us and it's updated.

It isn’t magic, and it isn’t templates. We use technology, including artificial intelligence, to automate the repetitive side of development. Fewer hours per project means faster delivery and a lower price, not lower quality: the design, the words and the strategy behind your site are always decided by a person who knows your business.

Frequently asked questions about websites
How much does a website for a shop cost?
From £249 as a one-off payment, live in 7 days or less. The optional care plan at £19 a month covers hosting, your domain and updates: new ranges, new hours, new offers, sent over WhatsApp.
Do I need a full online shop with a checkout?
Usually not. Full e-commerce, with stock, payments and deliveries, is a different kind of project and often more than a local shop needs. Most independents do better with a clear site that gets them found on Google plus WhatsApp for orders and reservations. If you genuinely need a full online store, we'll say so plainly rather than sell you the wrong thing.
Can customers buy through the website?
Through WhatsApp, yes: customers message you to reserve or order, and you arrange payment and collection however suits you. A full automated checkout is a different project, but for most local shops the WhatsApp route converts better because there's a person on the other end.
How much does a website cost?
The design and build of your website costs from £249 as a one-off payment, with an optional care plan at £19 a month covering hosting, your domain, updates and support on WhatsApp. The exact price depends on your project and we confirm it in your proposal, with no obligation.
How long does it take to build a website?
Fast: most sites are live within 48 hours of your first message, and never more than 7 days. Apply online with your business details and requirements. We review your application and prepare a proposal, with no obligation. WhatsApp is available if you prefer to talk.
Is the website mine?
Yes. The domain and the content are in your name from day one. We look after the site and keep it visible on Google, but it is always yours. If you ever decide to leave, you take your domain and your content with you, no problem.
Can I make changes to my site later?
Yes. You ask for changes on WhatsApp and we make them for you: prices, photos, opening hours, whatever you need. With the monthly care plan, content updates are included. You don't need to know anything about technology or touch a thing.
Will my site show up on Google?
Yes. Every site includes core SEO: fast loading, correct structure, metadata and the configuration Google needs to index your business. With the care plan, we keep working on your ranking over time.
What if I don't like the design?
We work on it until you do. You review the proposal, ask for any changes you like, and we only move forward when you're happy. If the first proposal doesn't convince you, you pay nothing.
What happens after I pay?
As soon as your payment comes through we contact you by email or WhatsApp, the same day, to confirm the details. Then we finish your site with the design you approved and send you the link the moment it's live: most sites are published within 48 hours. From then on you have ongoing support on WhatsApp.
How do I pay?
Once you approve your proposal, you can pay through your client dashboard by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, processed securely by Revolut. Bank transfer works too if you prefer it. You can pay in one go, or 50% to start the project and 50% when your site is delivered.
Why does it cost less than an agency?
Because we work differently: no offices, no middlemen and no endless meetings. We also use technology, including artificial intelligence, to automate the repetitive side of development. Fewer hours per project means a lower price and faster delivery, not lower quality: the design and the strategy are always decided by a person who knows your business.
Do I need to be technical to have a website?
No. We take care of everything: design, development, domain and hosting. You just tell us about your business and we do the rest.
What does the website design include?
It includes a professional personalised design, a .co.uk domain, optimisation for Google (SEO) and for AI assistants (AIO), a WhatsApp button built in, a responsive design for mobile, and fast delivery: most sites live within 48 hours.
What does the monthly care plan include?
It includes hosting, your domain, an SSL security certificate, content changes and updates, support on WhatsApp, and the ongoing SEO and AIO work: staying visible on Google and in the answers ChatGPT and other AI assistants give. It costs £19 a month, or £190 a year if you'd rather pay once.
Can I cancel the care plan whenever I want?
Yes. There are no contracts and no minimum term. You can cancel the care plan whenever you like, with no penalties.
Will my website look good on phones?
Yes. Every site we build is responsive, which means it adapts automatically to phones, tablets and computers. Most of your customers will find you from their phone, so this is a priority.
Does my small business really need a website?
Yes, especially if your customers look you up before getting in touch. A website brings together who you are, what you do, where you are and how to reach you in one place, and when someone searches for your business on Google, it gives them clear information and a way to see that your business is real and trustworthy.
What is SEO and why does it matter?
SEO stands for search engine optimisation. In plain terms: it's everything that makes your business show up when someone types "bakery in Salford" into Google, instead of only your competitors. It covers things like fast loading, a clear structure, and saying plainly what you do, where you are and how to contact you. It matters because almost every new customer will look you up on Google before getting in touch, and a business that doesn't appear doesn't exist.
What is AIO and why does it matter?
AIO stands for AI optimisation. More and more people no longer search on Google: they ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity directly, things like "who's a good electrician in Manchester?". AIO means publishing your site in a format those tools can read, understand and cite: well-organised information, direct answers and explicit permission to read it. It matters because if an AI can't find clear facts about your business, it simply recommends someone else. It's SEO for the way people search now.
Do you work with businesses anywhere in the UK?
Yes, we work with businesses across the whole of the UK. You can apply online and work with us by email or WhatsApp, so it doesn't matter where your business is.
