Work out what you need

Most contractors get sold marketing before anyone has looked at what is broken. Everything here is free, none of it requires talking to us, and a fair amount of it might tell you that you do not need us yet.

Start here

Three things worth doing before you spend a dollar with anybody, us included.

Get a free audit

We look at your website, your Google Business Profile, and where you rank in the towns you work in. You get the findings whether or not you ever speak to us, and there is no fee and no obligation attached to it.

Before you hire anyone

Honest comparisons of the four routes most contractors consider. We wrote them to be useful even if you pick one of the other three, and the questions in them work just as well pointed at us.

Building it with AI

Claude, ChatGPT and Wix AI can build a decent site in an afternoon. What they cannot do about getting found, and when to keep the site anyway.

Building it yourself

What a Wix or Squarespace build gets you, where it runs out of road, and the specific situations where doing it yourself is the correct answer.

Hiring a freelancer

Cheaper up front and often perfectly good work. The risks are continuity, ongoing SEO, and what happens when they take a full time job in year two.

A national agency

Real scale and real capability, with tradeoffs around contracts, who owns the site at the end, and how much attention a small account gets.

A WordPress agency

The most common route in this industry. Worth understanding the plugin maintenance, the hosting question, and who is responsible when something breaks at eleven at night.
