The problem

Great shop. Nobody knows you're here.

People want to shop local. They just can't find you. 40% of independent retailers don't have a website. That's a lot of brilliant shops invisible to anyone who doesn't already know they exist.

You're up against chains with massive online presences, marketplaces that dominate search results, and the assumption that if a shop doesn't appear online, it probably isn't worth visiting. The deck is stacked before you even start.

The good news is people genuinely want to shop independently. Google searches for "shop local" have gone up over 300% in recent years. But wanting to shop local and being able to find local shops are two different things. Your website only needs to answer three questions: what do you sell, when are you open, and how do I get there.

We're building you a digital shopfront. Something that shows off what you stock, when you're open, and how to find you. Clean, professional, and enough to get someone off the sofa and through your door.

1

No online presence at all, or a site that hasn't been touched in years

2

Opening hours and location are buried or wrong on Google

3

No sense of what you stock or why someone should visit

4

People assume you've closed because they can't find you online

5

You're losing footfall to competitors who show up in local search

6

Your social media is doing all the work but it's not reaching new people

What's included

Your window display, online

Three questions. What do you sell? When are you open? How do I get there? Everything on your site is designed to answer them clearly.

01

Products and Range

Showcase what you stock with categories, descriptions and photos. Enough to make someone think 'I need to go there' without turning your website into an online shop.

02

Opening Hours

Accurate hours on your site, set up so Google always shows the correct times. Bank holidays, seasonal changes, all handled. No more customers turning up to a closed door.

03

Location and Directions

Embedded map, clear address, parking information if relevant, and directions from key local landmarks. Make it as easy as possible for new customers to find you.

Contact

Phone number with click-to-call, email, and a contact form so enquiries never get lost. Prominent on every page, where people look for it.

Customer Reviews

Google reviews from happy customers, visible on your site. Someone deciding whether to make the trip wants to know the place is worth it. A few good reviews can tip that decision.

Mobile First

Shoppers search on the go, often while they're already out. Your site will load fast and look great on any screen so they can find you right when they need to.

The transformation

You've built a brilliant shop. Let us sort the website.

Tell us about your shop and we'll take it from there. A Google listing, some social media posts, a few photos on your phone. That's plenty to get started. Less than that, and we can still work with it.

We build a site that tells your story clearly. What you sell, why it's worth the visit, when you're open, and how to find you. A clean, professional site that makes people want to come in. That's it.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an online shop?
Probably not. Most independent retailers do well with a simple website that shows what they sell and drives footfall. Your customers want to visit in person. If you do want to sell online down the line, we can talk about adding e-commerce later.
I don't have time to manage a website. Is this going to be another job?
On monthly plans, we manage everything. Send us a text or email when something changes and we'll sort it within a couple of working days. You don't need to log in, learn a CMS, or think about it. That's the whole point.
How long does it take?
Most shops have a site live within a fortnight. If you've got some product photos and your basic details ready, it can be quicker than that.
What if I want to add e-commerce later?
Your site is built on a solid foundation that can grow with your business. If you decide to add online ordering down the line, we can talk about that as an upgrade.
Do I need professional photos of my shop?
They're a bonus, not a requirement. A few well-lit shots from your phone showing your shop interior, your products, and the storefront go a long way. We can tell you what to photograph.
Will this help me appear on Google Maps?
Your website works alongside your Google Business listing to strengthen your local presence. We set up your location, hours and business type so Google has everything it needs to show you in local results.
