Everything that gets you found, chosen, and running properly
Two halves to what we do: getting local customers to find and pick you, and building the software behind the business. Most clients need a handful of these, never all of them — and we'll tell you honestly which.
Getting found and getting chosen
The visibility work. If customers find you on Google and decide there and then whether to call, this is the half that matters.
Web Design
A custom site built around how your customers actually choose a tradesperson — fast, clear, and easy to enquire from.

Read more ServicesWebsite Care

Read moreApps, AI and integrations
The build work. For businesses whose problem isn't a brochure site — it's software that doesn't exist yet, or systems that don't talk to each other.
Mobile App Development
iOS and Android from one codebase — for booking, ordering, job management or anything your customers would open weekly.
Read more ServicesAI Assistants & Automation
Enquiry handling, quoting, scheduling and admin — automated with AI that knows your business, not a generic chatbot.
Read more ServicesCustom AI Development
AI built into your actual product or process — document processing, search over your own data, forecasting, and models tuned to your domain.

Custom APIs and integrations that connect the systems you already pay for, so nothing gets typed in twice.
Read moreHow these services fit together
Most enquiries we get are some version of "my website isn't bringing in any work." That's usually one of three separate problems, and they need different fixes.
Nobody can find you. You're invisible in search, so the site never gets a chance. That's a local SEO and Google Business Profile problem — and the profile is almost always the cheaper, faster win.
People find you but don't contact you. The traffic is there, the enquiries aren't. That's a design and conversion problem — either a redesign of what you've got, or a new custom build. Our guide on traffic without enquiries helps you work out which.
It worked, then it rotted. Broken forms, expired certificates, a plugin that took the site down. That's what website care exists to prevent.
If you're not sure which one you've got, start with the free guides — several of them end with "and if that's your problem, you can fix it yourself in an afternoon."
And when the problem isn't the website at all
A growing number of the businesses we talk to have a perfectly good website. Their problem is further back: staff re-typing the same job details into three systems, an inbox full of enquiries nobody has time to answer, quotes taking two days to go out, customers asking for an app because the booking page is painful on a phone.
That's what the second half of the list is for. APIs and integrations stop the double entry. AI assistants take the first pass at enquiries, quotes and admin. Custom AI development is for when the useful thing needs building rather than configuring. And mobile app development is for when your customers or your crew would genuinely open something weekly.
The same rules apply as on everything else: fixed scope agreed before we start, you own the code and the accounts, and if we think the honest answer is a £40-a-month off-the-shelf tool instead of anything custom, we'll say so.
