Website design for local businesses
Website design for local businesses beyond the trades
We started with trades, and the way we build carries over to the small businesses that sell to people nearby: one clear first step for the customer, the details they check before they get in touch, and pages that work on a phone. These are demo websites we designed and built for 53 fictional businesses, from a physio clinic to a cocktail bar. Each type of business has its own page on what its customers look for and the rules its website has to follow.

Waymark Physiotherapy, a demo we designed and built for physiotherapists. A fictional business, with illustrative photography.

The first step changes with the business
A physio's site asks for a booking, a garage's for an MOT date, an estate agent's for a valuation and a venue's for an enquiry with a date and a guest count. We build each site around the one action that starts the work, then keep it one tap away on every page.
Some websites carry legal duties
Some types of business have rules about what their website must show. A letting agent, for example, must publish its fees there, and in England name its client money protection and redress schemes alongside them. Each page sets out the rules for its type of business, read at the source.
The same fixed-price build
Every site here follows the process our trade sites do: a brief, a fixed price agreed before you pay, pages you sign off, and a domain in your name.
Run a trade?
Plumbers, electricians, builders, roofers and the other trades have pages of their own, each with a demo of its own.
