Web design studio

Websites that make local businesses the obvious choice.

Custom-built sites for tradespeople, shops and studios that need a visitor to pick up the phone, not just look around.

Everything a local site actually needs

No padded packages, no line item for a setup fee that shows up in month six.

01

Custom website design

A site built around the business, not a theme recoloured for it: structure and visuals planned around how a local customer actually searches.

02

SEO foundations

Clean markup and fast pages from day one, so the site has a fighting chance in local search before any extra work begins.

03

Hosting and care plans

A monthly plan covers hosting, backups and small content edits, so the site stays fast and current without a ticket queue.

04

Ongoing support

A direct line when something needs to change: a new price, a new photo, a new service added to the page.

Built by people who look at the analytics afterward

Great Looking Websites takes on a short list of local businesses at a time, rather than running a production line of near identical templates.

Every build starts with one question: what does a visitor need to do on this page. The layout, the copy and the photography all answer that before anything gets decorated.

Common questions

How long does a new site take?

Most small business sites take three to five weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on how much content is ready going in.

Do you write the words too?

Yes. Copy is drafted around what a local customer actually searches for, then the business reviews and edits it before anything goes live.

What happens after launch?

Every site includes a short handover call and the option of a monthly care plan covering hosting, backups and small edits.

Can an existing site be rebuilt without losing rankings?

Yes, with a proper redirect plan from the old pages to the new ones, carried out at launch.

What platforms do you build on?

Whatever suits the business: usually a fast custom build or Webflow, never a bloated page builder that turns every future edit into a headache.
