Website design, local SEO, and content for local businesses

Many local sites are built in pieces: one person designs, someone else writes, a third handles search, and the photos are whatever was on hand. The result often looks generic and says little about who you are. We run it as one project, so the design, the search setup and the original photos and film are decided together.

• Website design

  Answers the questions every visitor has: what you do, who it is for and how to reach you. Clear pages, easy mobile navigation and obvious next steps.

• Local SEO

  Helps search engines and local customers understand your services and where you work.

• Original photos and film

  Helps visitors recognize your team and understand your work. Real portraits, work in progress and short videos show who they would be dealing with.

The exact list is agreed with you before work starts. These are the pieces we normally plan around.

• Sitemap and page plan

  A map of the pages your site needs, built around what customers ask and what you want them to do.

• Service pages

  One page per main service, so each one can be found and understood on its own.

• Mobile-friendly navigation

  A short menu that works with a thumb, with your phone number and contact route easy to reach.

• Page copy

  Plain-language writing about your work, in your voice, with clear headings and calls to action.

• Real team photos

  Portraits and working photos for your home, about and team pages.

• Brand story

  A clear account of who you are and why customers choose you, told on the page and optionally on camera.

• Testimonials, if you have them

  Customer words you have permission to use, placed near the pages where they help.

• Inquiry flow

  A contact route that tells you which page and service the visitor was interested in, so replies can be specific.

Photo and video are planned against specific places on the site, not collected afterward. Each asset has a job, and each has a fallback so the page stays fast and readable if media is slow to load.

Design, copy and search work happen remotely. Original photo and video depend on where you are, so we plan them separately: you can supply existing assets, we can travel for a shoot, or production can be arranged locally. Each option is agreed in the scope.

• Home page hero

  One strong image or a short looped clip of real work or people. A poster image and legible text sit on top so the page reads even before video loads.

• About and team pages

  Individual and group portraits, with a short on-camera introduction if you want one. Our headshots service shows how portrait sessions run.

• Service pages

  Photos of the work itself, such as a job in progress or a finished project, placed next to the explanation of that service.

• Proof sections

  Short customer or team clips, and photos of real projects, next to the claims they support.

• Speed and legibility controls

  Images are sized for the screen, video does not autoplay with sound, large files load only when needed, and captions or text alternatives are included.

• Branding photography
• Corporate headshots
• All photography
• Corporate video production
• Website photo and video content

Each project is quoted after we talk through your pages, content and needs. The options below describe what can be included.

• Website Foundation

  Planning, sitemap, design, copy and build, with search basics in place. Suited to a business that already has usable photos.

• Website plus Photo and Video

  Everything in the foundation, plus a shoot planned around your pages: team portraits, work photos and short film.

• Optional ongoing SEO and content support

  Continued page improvements, new content and review of how the site is performing. The scope is agreed in advance.

Several things shape the scope: the number of pages, how much copy has to be written, whether photo and video are included, how many people appear on camera, travel and shoot days, and whether you need an existing site moved. Scope and timeline are agreed with you in writing before work begins. Your proposal sets out deliverables, revision stages, schedule, hosting and ownership arrangements before work begins.

• Your business name and current website address, if you have one
• The cities, towns or region you serve
• Your main goal: more calls, better quality leads, or a clearer story
• What content you need: copy, portraits, team photos, video or all of them
• Any launch goal or date you have in mind
• Anything about your domain, hosting or old site we should know
• Where your business is located, so we can plan photo and video for your area
