The showroom

Two websites, built in front of you the way the trade would build them. Three knobs that dress a site. Then a wall of fifty ideas for websites people stay on and come back to.

Skip the stories, go straight to the knobs

A builder’s website, built like a house.

One week, Monday to Monday. Keep scrolling.

Monday. The plan.

You tell us what you do and where. We draw the whole site, every page and every button, before anything is built.

Tuesday. Foundations.

Your words, written for you. Prices, the areas you cover, the jobs you want more of.

Wednesday. Walls up.

The pages go up: home, services, prices, about, contact.

Thursday. The roof.

Photos of your work on top, and the look of the thing. The draft lands on your phone.

Friday. Finishing.

Your web address connected, Google told where you are, and a login so you can change things yourself.

Monday. The keys.

Live. It is yours.

A garage’s website, put together like a car.

Every part does one job. Keep scrolling.

Start with the body.

Your name, your workshop, what you fix. The shape people recognise.

Wheels on.

It works on a phone first. That is where people look for a garage, often from the hard shoulder.

The engine goes in.

Prices up front. MOT, service, tyres, with numbers, not “please call”.

Bonnet down.

Online booking, so jobs come in while you are under a car.

Doors.

Photos of the workshop and the people in it. Real ones, not stock.

Lights.

Your Google reviews, shown as they are. People read them before they ring.

Bumpers.

The boring bits: terms, privacy, the padlock. Done, so you never think about them.

Keys.

Live, with a login so you can change your prices yourself.

Now dress it yourself.

Same business, five outfits, from a suit to a pair of trainers. There is no wrong one, only the one that suits you. When you find it, send it to us and we build yours like that.

Example businesses, for illustration. The names, prices and addresses are made up.

yourbusiness.co.uk
Who you are

Four made-up businesses, the kind we build for. Pick the one nearest to yours.

How you dress

Five outfits for the same business. Suit is quiet and careful. Trainers is big, bright and not for everyone.

How much moves

Still: nothing moves. Some: things settle in as you scroll. Lots: the page comes apart and rebuilds when you change its outfit.

Build mine like this

The ideas wall.

Fifty ways to make a website people stay on, buy from and come back to. Every one is a real build we can do, with the tier it fits. Put the ones you like on your list and send it to us.

  • The gallery you walk round

    The artist’s site is a room. Arrow keys or a swipe walk you along the wall; tap a frame to see the piece and buy the print.

  • The queue with a game in it

    Tap what you fancy and the order builds on the right with the total. Send it as a message and it is waiting when you arrive.

    Cafés, takeaways, delisFits Business

  • The price that moves as you tick

    Tick what you want, extension size, roof type, number of rooms, and the price changes in front of you. The written quote lands in your inbox.

What you just saw

Every story and every outfit is the same handful of facts about one business: the name, what it does, what it costs, when it is open. The look is a layer on top, and we can change the layer without touching the facts. That is why a site from us can be redressed later without starting again.

The house and the car are flat drawings moved by your scrolling, with no video and no 3D, so they run smoothly on a phone. Turn How much moves to Lots and the sample site comes apart and rebuilds itself when you change its outfit.

How to use it

  1. Pick the business nearest to yours.
  2. Turn How you dress through all five. Stop at the one you would be proud to send to a customer.
  3. Press Build mine like this. The setup comes to us with your details.

If nothing moves, your device or browser is set to reduce motion. The knobs still work.
