Built to get you booked, called and ordered from.

Eight things, done properly. Every one of them has live work behind it that you can click and judge for yourself.

Every client link here opens a real, live site. Shout and Railway Departure Board are our own apps.

  1. The GustoSi restaurant website homepage

    A properly built website for your business, and a free, fully bespoke demo of it with your content before you spend a penny. Live within 7 days of sign-off, no deposit, a 60-day guarantee, and you own everything: design, code, content and source files.

    Free demo first, then a firm price in writing.

  2. Reece Hope had spent about two years trying to get 8Music, his Rayleigh music shop, through Google Merchant Center. Two weeks after we started, in October 2026, its account passed Google's review. A compliance review checks your website, and any Merchant Center account, against Google's requirements and the UK rules that touch websites in your sector, and ends with a written report and a fix list in priority order. Luke Dykes runs every review from Southend-on-Sea, after six years in UK frontline public service with the police, Border Force and HMRC.

    Quoted in writing, before any work starts.

  3. The ONE94 website homepage, showing the Leigh-on-Sea venue's booking and events platform

    Take bookings, orders and payments on your own website: an online booking system built on Stripe, with the money going straight to your account. Built in Southend-on-Sea, working across Essex, London and the South East, and remote UK-wide.

    Quoted in writing, before any work starts.

  4. The Shout app icon from the App Store
    The Railway Departure Board app icon from the App Store

    We design and build native apps for iPhone and Android, then handle the App Store and Google Play process. We have shipped our own apps to the App Store, so we know the road from first idea to live listing.

  5. The Elite Build & Co website homepage, a loft conversion and extension builder in south Essex

    We add AI to websites and apps when it does a real job: answering questions from your own information, or letting customers try something before they book. Built in Southend-on-Sea and shipped for real clients.

    Quoted in writing, before any work starts.

  6. Aerial photo and video from £149. Southend seafront, the Essex coastline, your building, your patch. Imagery you own outright, shot for your website and marketing rather than pulled from a stock library.

    From £149.

  7. The GeWiz Fashion online shop homepage with its product catalogue

    A website is not finished the day it goes live. Our care plans keep your site updated, backed up, secure and monitored, with small content changes handled for you. And if you do not need one, we will say so.

    Quoted in writing, before any work starts.

  8. SEO

    Plenty of small business websites are invisible to Google: either the page a crawler receives is empty, or the basics were never done. We fix both from our studio in Southend-on-Sea, for businesses across Essex, starting with a free audit that shows you exactly what Google sees when it visits your site.
