Before you start

Quick checklist for a new site

You do not need everything perfect. This is enough to move fast.

Know your one job

Usually: get the right customer to WhatsApp, call, or fill a form. Build around that.

Gather what you have

Business name, services, towns you cover, phone, and photos. Your Facebook page is often the best starting point.

Pick a package size

Count the pages you actually need. Most small businesses fit Starter or Business. Extras can wait.

Practical tips

Things that actually help

Claim Google Business

Free listing. Hours, photos, categories, and reviews. Huge for local search alongside a proper website.

Ask for real reviews

Happy customers on Google help trust. Keep it natural. Never buy fake reviews.

Link from Facebook

Put your website in About and point posts to it. Social brings attention. The site explains you properly.

Use clear photos

Real job photos beat stock every time. Phone photos are fine if they are sharp and well lit.

Say where you work

Name the towns and areas you cover. Locals search that way. Vague “nationwide” copy helps nobody nearby.

Plan after launch

Hosting, domain renewals, and the odd update matter. Most clients take the Care Plan so that side stays handled.

If I can source content from your business Facebook easily, I handle most of the heavy lifting. You only fill gaps. That is how most builds stay quick and affordable.

After launch

Keep the site working for you

Share it

Facebook, email signature, vans, invoices. A site nobody sees still helps search, but sharing speeds everything up.

Update when you change

New service, new town, new phone number. Tell me (or update via Care Plan support) so the site stays accurate.

Do not abandon it

A forgotten site with old prices or a dead contact form damages trust. Small upkeep beats a full rebuild later.
