What we fix
What we fix for painters
The problems we find most often on small-business websites, in plain words. Our free check looks for six of them; we look at the other two with you on the call.
“My site is slow on phones”
Most people search on their phone. When a page takes more than a few seconds, many give up and tap the next result.
What we do: Pages built to load fast on an ordinary phone connection: right-sized images, no page-builder bloat, a quick server.
Built to Google’s “good” marks for real visits: main content within 2.5 s, a response to taps within 200 ms, no jumping layout. Our demos score 95+ on PageSpeed’s phone test.
“It looks broken on my phone”
Visitors pinch, zoom and slide sideways to read your page, then call someone whose site just works.
What we do: Every page designed on a phone first: readable text, buttons big enough for a thumb, nothing wider than the screen.
Body text 16 px or more, tap targets at least 44 px
“People can’t reach me”
If the number isn’t a button and there’s no form, people who look you up at 10 pm have no way in. They move on.
What we do: Tap-to-call everywhere, a short form, booking where it fits, your hours and map, and a call bar on phones.
“Browsers say my site is not secure”
Chrome puts “Not secure” next to your address, and some visitors leave right there.
What we do: HTTPS on every page, a certificate that renews itself, and monitoring so it never lapses.
“Nobody finds me on Google”
People search for what you do in your town and find your competitors first.
What we do: A clear title and description on every page, your business details marked up for Google, a page per service and area, a sitemap, and your Google profile linked.
From the first call to a live site, your part adds up to about two hours. We do the rest, and tell you what’s happening at every step.

FAQ
Questions owners ask us
Do I own my website?
Yes. Your domain, your site and your content are yours. The web address is registered in your name, and if you ever leave we hand everything over: the code, the content and the logins, and we help you move.
What if I already have a website?
We start from it. On the call we look at what works and what doesn’t. If a few fixes are enough, we’ll say so and quote for the fixes. If it needs rebuilding, we keep your web address and bring your content across.
Will I lose my Google ranking?
Not if the move is done carefully, and we do it carefully. Every old page address is sent to its new page with a permanent (301) redirect, your name, address and phone stay exactly as Google knows them, and we resubmit your sitemap in Google Search Console. Any move can make rankings wobble for a few days, so we watch your search traffic for the weeks after launch and tell you what we see.
How long does it take?
Most sites take one to three weeks: the plan and price within 48 hours of our call, a first design in about 7 days, and launch when you’re happy. An app takes four to eight weeks.
What does monthly care include?
Hosting, the security certificate (HTTPS), backups, software updates and uptime monitoring, plus time for changes each month: 30 minutes on Starter and 2 hours on Growth. Growth also gets a monthly speed and uptime report. There’s no contract: cancel any month and keep your site.
