What changes

What it gets your business

Most small business websites go stale because every change means ringing somebody. The admin panel is a private page on your own website, behind a password only you have, that takes the regular jobs off that list. It drafts new blog posts, town pages and service pages for you to read, change and approve before anything goes live, and it checks each draft against the facts about your business so nothing invented gets published. It shows where your calls and enquiries come from, and it gathers your reviews from Google, Trusted Trader and Facebook onto one page, each linked back to the original. The first one was built for George Herkes & Son Joinery, a family firm of joiners in Tranent, East Lothian. It is an add-on to a website I build or look after, and the parts are switched on as you need them. The unwelcome part: if you never want to touch your own website, this is a page you will not open.

  1. Your website keeps getting new pages without you writing them from a blank screen

  2. Nothing goes live until you have read it and said yes

  3. You can see which pages bring in work, so the next page is aimed at more of it

  4. Customers see all your reviews in one place, and can check each one at the source

Ideas, not promises

What this could look like for you

A few examples of what it could look like for a business like yours.

  • A page for the next town over

    Ask for a page about your work in a nearby town. A draft could be waiting for you to read on your phone, built from your real jobs and checked against your business details.

  • Your reviews, all together

    Reviews left on Google, Trusted Trader and Facebook could sit together on one page of your own website, each with a link back so a customer can see it is real.

  • Knowing which page earns its keep

    A plain list of the pages people read before they rang you, so you know which jobs and towns are worth another page.

The process

Four steps, and the first one is free

You can stop after the first without owing anything.

  1. A free consultation

    I find the pain points: what is costing you time, what you wish worked better, and how the job actually gets done today. Face to face anywhere in Edinburgh and the Lothians, or on Zoom or the phone from anywhere in the UK or worldwide.

  2. A written quote

    A fixed price, a list of what is included and a date, in writing, before anything starts. No day rates that quietly stretch, and no bill you first see when it lands.

  3. Built and launched

    Design, build and testing, and you see it take shape as it goes. Your web address, hosting (where your site lives), security certificate and email are all set up for you, so there is nothing for you to buy or set up.

  4. Looked after

    Hosting, security updates, backups, changes to your words and photos, and a local number to ring. Anything bigger is quoted before it starts, so the running cost stays the number you agreed.

Questions

Questions owners ask

When not to buy this

  • You never want to look at your own website, and are happy for it to stay as it is.
  • You already add pages yourself and know where your enquiries come from.
  • Your business gets all the work it can handle from word of mouth alone.
Will anything go on my website without me seeing it?

No. Every new page arrives as a draft with a preview. You read it, change anything you want, and only your approval puts it live. Each draft is also checked against the facts about your business first, so a made-up claim is flagged rather than published.

Do I need to be good with computers to use it?

No. It is a private page on your own website with a few plain buttons: read the draft, change it, approve it. If you can read an email on your phone, you can use it.

Can I have it on a website somebody else built?

It is an add-on to a website I build or look after, because it needs to live inside the website itself. If your current site was built elsewhere, the free consultation is where you find out whether moving it over is worth it.
