A custom built site that you own outright, designed around how your customers find you, judge you and get in touch. One person does all of it, from the first call to launch day.
Someone is told about you by a friend and looks you up on their phone that evening. Within a minute they know what you do, where you work, what it costs and how to reach you, and they get in touch without having to ring first.
Independent sports coaches and small clubs, tradespeople, and owner-run local services.
You run it yourself and decide whether to spend money on a website. You want one that makes you look as good as you are.
You would rather deal with the person doing the work than an account manager.
One call, usually 30 to 45 minutes. What is working, where enquiries leak, and what a good result looks like for you.
I design and build it myself. You see drafts as it comes together and tell me what to change.
The site goes live, connected to whatever you actually use for enquiries, and everything is handed over in your own name.
The clearest example is a carpentry and decking business I built a site for. It is my dad's company, so I say so up front. Read how it was built.

We talk for 30 to 45 minutes about what you do, who you want more of and where enquiries leak today. I write up the scope and the price, and the deposit starts the build.
I write the copy from your answers and design the first version around how your customers decide. You see it as it comes together and tell me what to change.
I build it phones first, using your real photos. You get a private link to look at, and I make your changes until it is right.
The balance is paid, I check it on real phones, connect your domain and go live. Everything is handed over in accounts that belong to you.
There is no subscription to keep it online. If you want more, the monthly services are there. If you do not, the site works perfectly well on its own.
Your real photos, as many as you have.
Honest answers to a few questions about your business and your customers.
Quick feedback on each draft. The faster you reply, the sooner it goes live.

hello@alastairbanwell.comA standard single location site starts at $650, paid as a deposit and a balance on completion. Larger scopes are quoted individually. Here is how I think about the number.
Most builds take 2 to 4 weeks from the first call. It depends on how quickly you can send content and feedback.
You do, from the day it launches. The code, the content and the domain are in your name, and I never hold your domain.
Send me the change. I quote it up front so you always know the number before I start. There is no retainer required and no minimum. If you would rather never think about it, the website updates plan covers it.
No. I write it from your answers to a set of questions, then you check it. I will never invent facts about your business.
Yes. I build for phones first and test at a small phone width before anything goes live.
"I build the foundation. I run the engine. You own the returns."
