West Sussex • East Sussex • Hampshire

A modern website. A smoother business.

Less admin. More doing.

Start with a paid 45-minute Enquiry & Systems Review (£49.50), a Customer Journey Review (website → booking → follow-up). We’ll look at your website, enquiries, email and the tools you already use (booking, invoicing, payments), then map the most sensible next steps in plain English. Automation is on the table. AI is optional, and only used when it earns its keep.

No lock-in. We’ll work with your current setup where possible. If a tidy-up is enough, I’ll tell you. If rebuilding is the cheaper long-term option, I’ll explain why, and what you gain by doing it.

  • Websites and landing pages
  • Domains and business email
  • Booking and payments
  • Automation (AI optional)
Book the £49.50 review Explore services 45 minutes, clear next steps, no pressure. If we build together, the fee is usually credited.

What “good” looks like

The standards you’re buying

If you want to sanity-check your current setup, the review is the quickest way. I’ll show examples, explain trade-offs, and you’ll leave with a plan you can use either way.

Conversion-first structure

A clear offer, one primary CTA, trust-building sections early, and a calm process timeline to reduce hesitation.

  • • Message, proof, process, pricing, FAQ
  • • Repeated CTAs with simple risk reducers
  • • Local cues without spam

Enquiry reliability

When people contact you, nothing should vanish into email. We design for simple, reliable follow-up.

  • • Forms that actually convert
  • • Tracking you can trust
  • • Optional confirmations and reminders

Automation with guardrails

Automation is useful when it saves time without risking customer trust. We’ll identify what is safe, what is not, and how to keep it reliable.

  • • Booking and admin workflows
  • • Simple pipelines for small teams
  • • AI only where it is genuinely worth it

FAQs

Common questions

What is the £49.50 Enquiry and Systems Review?

It’s a focused 45-minute Customer Journey Review (website → booking → follow-up). We review your website, enquiries and the tools behind the scenes (domains and email, booking, invoicing, payments). You’ll get a short written plan afterwards with prioritised next steps.

Do you work with WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, or Shopify?

Yes. No lock-in. Where it makes sense, we improve what you already have. If a rebuild is genuinely the smarter long-term choice, I’ll explain why and give you options.

I don’t understand tech. Is this still for me?

Yes. The whole point is to translate what’s going on into plain English, then give you a simple order of attack. You don’t need to know the tools. You just need clarity on what to fix first.

Do you do AI?

Only when it clearly earns its keep. If automation or AI is not suitable, we’ll say so. Most wins come from better messaging, faster pages, and reliable follow-up first.

What happens after the review?

You get your plan. If you want help implementing it, we agree scope and you receive a fixed-price proposal or a clear monthly plan. If you don’t, you still leave with a useful roadmap.

Can you fix an existing site rather than rebuild?

Often, yes. The review is designed to tell us whether a tidy-up is enough (messaging, speed, tracking, enquiry flow) or whether a rebuild is actually cheaper long-term.

Is the fee credited if we continue?

Usually, yes. If you move into a build straight after the review, the fee is typically credited against your first invoice.

Want clarity before you spend money?
