The result
How it changed the business
The Filling Station has been making its own pies, sausage rolls and filled rolls in East Lothian since 2003, and now runs three shops. It needed to be found online and ordered from online. I designed the brand and the site, connected collection and delivery ordering, set up its Google Business Profile and keep the whole thing running. It was done as a favour for a local business, and it is here because it is live.
What this means for your business
A local food business does not need a shop platform, an app or an agency charging a monthly fee they are tied into. It needs to be found, to be right when it is found, and to take an order without a phone call. That is a modest amount of well-placed work.

- On Google Maps
- Looked after for them
The build
What it does for the owner
- A brand and a site designed from scratch: home, about, the three shops with map links, catering and contact
- Collection and delivery ordering connected from the site, so a customer goes from the menu to a paid order without ringing
- Opening hours, phone number and the three locations kept right in one place, on the site and on Google
- A Google Business Profile set up and looked after, so the shops appear on the map for the searches people actually make
- Their web address, keeping the site online and changes all handled on their behalf, so the owners run a bakery rather than a website
