Twenty years of getting local businesses found

The short version

I’m Guy. I’ve spent over twenty years building websites and getting them found — first when a website was a novelty, then through every change Google has thrown at us since.

I work with small businesses across Eastleigh, Southampton and the rest of South Hampshire. Trades, shops, salons, restaurants, local services. Businesses where the owner answers the phone, knows the customers by name, and needs the website to bring in work rather than win awards.

Why I do it this way

Twenty years in this industry teaches you what small businesses are really up against. It isn’t a shortage of technology. It’s the people selling it to them.

I’ve watched too many owners hand over thousands for a website they can’t edit, hosting they can’t leave, and rankings that never came — usually to a company three counties away that stopped answering the phone the moment the invoice cleared.

So I built the opposite. A professional website starts at £395. Hosting is low-cost and stays that way. You get one person who knows your business, and you can reach me any time — day, night, weekend. I don’t work office hours because my customers don’t either.

What I’m actually good at

• Building websites that bring in work, not just look tidy
• Getting small businesses onto page one for the searches that matter
• Explaining all of it in plain English, without the jargon
• Telling you when you don’t need something — including when you don’t need me
• Being reachable. Twenty years and I’ve never had a switchboard.

The honest bit

I’m not the cheapest person you’ll find online. Somebody overseas will always undercut me, and if price is the only thing that matters, take it — genuinely.

What I am is local, experienced, and here next year when you need a change made. The businesses I work with tend to stay, and a few of them have brought their other companies over too. That’s the whole marketing strategy, really.

Say hello

No pitch, no obligation. Call me on 023 8098 4004 and tell me about your business — I’ll tell you honestly what I’d do about it. Or read what my customers say first, which is fair enough.
