Our work

Everything here is live right now.

16 sites we designed, built and keep running — our own products and our clients’ sites. Open any of them.

Packages

Every trade. Every budget. The same fast foundation.

Whether you’re just going self-employed or growing an established firm, we build a site that pays for itself in months — not a template that just sits there.

We don’t hand over a website and disappear. We stay — watch every form and call, tune the pages, run your ads if you want them — until the work comes in.

Why us

The same tech as Linear, Stripe and Vercel.

Every new site runs on a modern static stack — faster, safer and cheaper to run than a page builder. Existing WordPress sites get optimised to the same standard.

Speed is an acceptance criterion

No site ships until all four Lighthouse metrics are green. This page is no exception — check it yourself.

AI-native foundation

The same engine as our own aimarcus.eu — personalisation, automatic SEO, A/B tests in real time.

Built for local search

Schema, Google Business Profile, town pages, review flow — the plumbing that decides who shows up first in your area.

Fast on any connection

Static pages, HTTP/2, compression and AVIF images — nothing heavier than it needs to be, on a building-site 4G signal or office fibre.

Secure by default

HTTPS, HSTS, CSP, subdomain isolation, certificates renew themselves. Nothing to maintain by hand.

We stay

30–90 days of free support on every package. Monthly plan if you want continuous growth. You’re not alone after the first invoice.

What clients say

From real founders whose sites bring in work every day

For €990 I got a site that sends me as many leads in an hour as my Wix template did in a year. And these don’t go anywhere — I was taught to add content myself.

First 30 days I worried it was too expensive. After day 90 we had more organic enquiries than from Google Ads. The AI part they built keeps working on its own.

Why does pricing start at £249 when others offer £99?

A £99 site is usually a template that costs more to change than it’s worth. Our £249 is custom, tested on mobile and Google, schema set up, first 30 days of support included. You don’t pay more later.

Do you work with businesses anywhere in the UK?

Yes. Everything is done remotely — calls, staging links, launch — so it makes no difference whether you’re in Manchester, Cardiff or a village in Kent. The site is written for your trade and your area from day one.

Do you do WordPress sites?

We don’t build new sites on WordPress — a static architecture (Astro + edge) is faster, safer and cheaper to maintain. But we do optimise existing WordPress sites: one site in our gallery runs WordPress at 100/100 PageSpeed — the result depends on the execution, not the platform.

How fast does a site go live?

Starter site 5–7 working days, business site 10–14, online shop 14–21. You get a daily staging link to follow progress. We launch only when you’re satisfied.

What if I don’t like the design?

Two free revision rounds at the design stage. After that £90/h, but it never reaches that — a clickable prototype lets you see everything before we write a single line of code.

Is editing the site after launch expensive?

No. You can change content yourself (text, images, prices). Design changes or new pages — £90/h, or £60/h on a monthly plan. Never an “agency lock-in”.

What does “AI part” actually mean?

We detect who your visitor is (mobile/desktop, area, referrer) and serve adapted content. The site can also write posts in your trade on its own and keep SEO meta tags fresh. Same tech that runs our own aimarcus.eu.

What does “we stay” mean?

Each package includes free support (30 / 60 / 90 days). During that period we reply within hours, fix anything found, optimise SEO and ads. After the free window, you can join a monthly plan (from £49/month).

Invoicing and tax?

Invoices come from Prism Hooldus OÜ (EU-registered, reg. 16894703). We are not VAT-registered — no VAT is added to any invoice. Payment: bank transfer or card, or three monthly instalments, interest-free.
