🚀 I’m opening 10 website build slots with something new included.

Alongside your website, I’ll build you a branded social video studio for your business.

The first video below shows the Studio itself — branded for GrantOps as an example. The second is a quick sizzle reel showing the kind of short videos your business can export for Facebook, Instagram Stories and Reels.

You’ll get:
✅ a proper website built around your business
✅ matching branded video templates
✅ an online studio where you can edit the text and export clips yourself
✅ a more consistent look across your website and social posts

This is for trades, local services, gyms, salons, cafés and small shops that want to look more polished online without hiring an agency every month.

Website builds start from £600.
50% deposit reserves your slot.

🎥 The video studio is also available as a separate package, but for the next 10 website builds it’s included as part of the project.

Message me “website” and I’ll send the details.

🔍 Post 4 in our buyer-education series.

Quick test. Google "joiner Glasgow southside" or "emergency plumber near me" right now. Scroll the first page.

How many Facebook business pages do you see? Usually zero.

⚠️ For trades and small businesses that rely on new customers — not just word-of-mouth — that's the bit Facebook quietly doesn't do. It's not built to show up when someone googles you. Your website is.

✅ Four things a website does that a page can't — plus the real £299 Year-1 maths — in the post.

🧾 Post 3 in the buyer-education series.

You've got two website quotes in front of you. One says £299. The other says £600. The cheap one wins, right?

Not always. By the end of Year 1, the £299 quote often costs more.

⚠️ Once you add the mandatory care plan, the per-update content charges, the business-email add-on, and the bits billed separately, the headline £299 can quietly land at

£1,139 in Year 1. A £600 quote with all-inclusive £20/month hosting comes in at £840.

✅ The 10 questions to ask before you sign anything are in the post — worth saving for the next time you're comparing quotes.

Post 2 of the series 📝

If you've ever been quoted £299 or £999 for a website, the build price is almost never the whole bill 🧾

The mandatory monthly fee — usually hidden on a separate page — quietly turns that £999 quote into £1,239 across Year 1.

This post is the maths 🧮

Where to find the hidden monthly fee, why it's there, and the single question that turns any quote into a like-for-like comparison.

Last week's post (on what "bespoke" actually means in 2026) covered the four buyer questions to ask any builder. This one zooms in on the monthly fee question specifically.

£840 to get the website sorted properly 👋

Built for local trades and small businesses — plasterers, joiners, gardeners, dog groomers, beauticians and the rest.

If you're running things off your phone - Facebook posts between jobs - this is for you!

Have you been seeing sky-high quotes for £2k+ and putting it off, or you've been "meaning to sort it" for a year, this is how you get it done 💪

It's a real website (not just a page), it gets you on Google so people can find you, and customers can message you without picking up the phone.

It doesn't break, loads fast, and I look after it for the whole first year.

Year 2 is £20/month if you want me to keep running it. No surprise renewal, no being stuck.

When someone says they'll build you a "bespoke" website, what does that actually mean in 2026? 🤔

Four very different things sit under that one word — and three of them aren't what most people think when they hear it.

I've started writing down what I've learned about how small businesses are getting websites built right now: what "bespoke" really means in each tier, what each one costs, and the four questions worth asking before you pay anyone a deposit. ✍️

This is the first one. More coming on the monthly-fee question and the Year-1 maths.
