Not a template. A website designed around your business.

01 / THE DESIGN

Made for you, not the masses

One clear visual direction, shaped by your business, your customers and the way you already talk about your work — not a theme thousands of others are using.

02 / THE JOB

Built to get the call

Every choice points at one thing: helping a nearby customer find you, trust you, and pick up the phone. Clear, fast, and impossible to miss on a phone.

03 / THE CARE

Looked after for good

Launch is the start, not the finish. Email me a change and it's handled — usually within a few business days. No logins, no plugins, no “I'll get to it.”

What's included

Everything a local business needs online — and nothing it doesn't.

A focused set of pages that load fast, read clearly, and do the one job that matters: bringing customers to your door.

A custom visual direction

Color, type and layout chosen for your business — presented as one coherent direction, not an endless buffet of options.

Aa Bb CcType that fits your voice

Looks perfect on every phone

Designed mobile-first, then scaled up — because most of your customers are searching one-handed on the couch. Checked across real screen sizes before launch.

Global delivery, free SSL, and a green padlock from day one — on infrastructure that stays quick as you grow.

Gets you the call

Tap-to-call, directions and contact — front and center.

Found on search

Proper page titles, descriptions, a favicon and social preview so you show up right — to people and to AI search.

You own it all

The domain, the accounts, the hosting — all in your name. I'm an invited guest you can show out anytime.

The process

From “hello” to launched — the simple way.

One approver, one clear direction, two rounds of polish. No jargon, no runaround.

1

Say hello

Tell me about your business and what you want the site to do. I'll confirm it's a good fit.

2

One direction

I share a single, considered design direction with a short reason for each choice.

3

I build it

Your content, your pages — built, reviewed and tested properly before you ever see it.

4

Two rounds of polish

You send one tidy list of changes. We refine, twice, until it's right.

5

Launch & look after

We go live on your accounts — then I keep it updated and running for good.

Sample work

Six businesses. Six original designs.

Concept builds for imagined local shops — each one designed from scratch. No two share a layout, a typeface, or a mood. That's what custom actually looks like.

You'll never touch a dashboard.

The part nobody tells small businesses: a website is never “done.” Hours change, prices change, a new photo comes in. With Cat Sock Studio, you just send an email — I take care of the rest.

Just email the change

Text, photos, hours, prices, a new offer — one request at a time, usually live within a few business days.

Hosting & upkeep handled

Security, SSL, backups and the boring technical bits stay my problem, not yours.

Quarterly checkups

Links, forms and your domain get checked every quarter so nothing quietly breaks.

A clean exit, always

Because everything's in your name, you're never locked in. Leave with your site whenever you like.

Good questions

The honest answers.

Do you use AI to build the sites?

Yes — I use modern AI-assisted development tools to build efficiently, the same way other designers use website builders, templates and code libraries. The difference is what surrounds it: I personally direct the design, review every line, test the site on real devices, deploy it, and stand behind it long after launch. You're hiring judgment and responsibility, not a robot with a keyboard.

Is it really “custom,” then?

It is. “Custom” means the site is designed around your business — your content, your colors, your structure, your goals — rather than a pre-made theme thousands of other businesses are also running. The tools help me build that one-of-a-kind result faster; they don't make it generic.

Do I own my website and accounts?

Completely. Your domain, your hosting and your analytics all live in accounts you create and control. I'm added as an invited administrator so I can build and maintain things — and you can remove that access anytime. You're never locked in, and your business identity never depends on me.

What does it cost?

Every business is a little different, so I'd rather give you a straight number than make you decode a pricing table. There's a one-time setup fee to design and build the site, and a simple flat monthly fee that covers hosting, updates and looking after it. Tell me what you need and I'll send clear pricing — no pressure, no jargon.

How long does it take?

Usually a few weeks, depending mostly on how quickly you can get me your content and approvals. The build itself is quick; gathering photos, service details and sign-off is what sets the pace. I'll give you a realistic target date once I've seen what you need.

What kinds of businesses is this for?

Local service businesses that need a professional presence and want the phone to ring — trades, shops, studios, clinics, restaurants, salons and the like. If your main goals are calls, contact requests, directions and credibility, you're exactly who this is built for.

Can you build an online store or booking system?

My focus is fast, beautiful “brochure” sites that bring customers in — not shopping carts, logins or custom software. If you take bookings or payments, I'll wire in a trusted third-party tool (so your site links out to it cleanly) rather than building something risky from scratch. If you truly need a full store, I'll tell you honestly and point you in the right direction.
