How it works
From mockup to a live site.
Answer a few questions
Fill in the intake form. About 5 minutes, then we get to work on your homepage.
Approve a homepage mockup
Review the homepage. Only when you confirm you're happy do we issue the £299 invoice.
We finish the site
Paying the invoice confirms your slot. The full site is completed and sent for your revisions.
It goes live
Pointed to your domain and online. That's it.
Example mockups
The kind of homepage you approve first.
Open a full example mockup: the kind of homepage you approve before any invoice. More trades will appear here as we add them; live client sites will replace examples over time.

Who it's for
Built for trades businesses that need to get online without the agency price tag.
Plumbers, electricians, roofers, builders, and every other trade that needs a professional online presence. You're good at your trade. You don't need to become a web designer to have a site that works.
Every homepage is reviewed by Richard before it reaches you. Almost 20 years as a web developer, not a hand-off to an overseas team or an unchecked AI dump.
You have no website at all
Relying on Facebook or word of mouth, and missing people who search Google.
Your current site looks dated
Built years ago, doesn't work on mobile, and you're not comfortable sharing it.
You don't have time to deal with it
You're busy doing the actual work. You need someone to handle the website side completely.
You want to be found locally
When someone in your area searches for your trade, you want to show up.
Why trust us
Built by one person. Not handed off to a team you'll never meet.
Almost 20 years
Building and maintaining business websites
150+
Sites built and maintained
Every homepage is reviewed by Richard before it reaches you. No overseas hand-off, no unchecked AI dump.
Common questions
Straight answers.
No. The copy is written for you based on your intake form answers. If you have photos of your work, send them over. If not, professional stock images relevant to your trade will be used.
The existing domain will be connected to the new site.
Register one through IONOS , then let us know once it's set up. We're happy to advise if you're not sure where to start.
Some links on this page are affiliate links. If you sign up through them, I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. I only list tools I use myself or would suggest to a client when the fit is right.
Starting is free: no card and no invoice when you fill in the form. You see a homepage mockup first. Only once you confirm you're happy with it do we issue a Stripe invoice for the £299 build fee. Paying that confirms your build slot and we finish the rest of the site.
Hosting on Cloudflare's global network, uptime monitoring, and minor content updates, small text and image changes. Anything bigger is scoped and quoted separately.
Yes. After the initial 12-month term, the contract rolls monthly. You can cancel with 30 days' notice. The site stays live for the remainder of any paid period.
Launch covers up to 5 pages. Additional pages are available for £50 each.
No, and that's the point. A full custom build starts at £2,500. Launch generates each site specifically for your business, but keeps things fast by working to a fixed page count and process. It covers what most trades businesses need.
Richard, directly, with almost 20 years' experience as a web developer. Nothing about Launch is handed off to someone else or left fully automated without a human checking the result before it reaches you.
