Why I'm Doing This
Most local businesses I talk to already know they need a better website. The conversation usually goes the same way: they agree the site is outdated, they know it's costing them customers, but they've been putting it off because they're unsure about the cost, the process, or whether it'll actually make a difference.
So I decided to remove all three of those barriers at once.
I'm allocating five project slots to build complete, professional websites for local businesses — at no cost. There are no hidden upgrades or mandatory monthly contracts. The only thing I ask in return is honest feedback after the project is done.
"This is how I build proof. Feedback helps me grow. Your business gets a real website. It's a straightforward exchange — and genuinely one of the most risk-free opportunities a local business owner will come across."
What You'll Actually Get
This is not a template dropped onto a free hosting plan. Every free website I build is custom — designed, developed, and delivered with the same standard as a paid project.
This offer includes a simple business website of up to 5 pages, such as Home, About, Services, Contact, and FAQ. Here's exactly what's included:
Custom design
Built specifically for your business — not a generic template
Mobile-first responsive layout
Looks and works perfectly on every screen size
Fast load speed
Performance-focused build with optimized images, clean code, and mobile testing.
Contact form
Enquiries go directly to your email inbox
SEO basics setup
Title tags, meta descriptions, and local keywords configured from day one
Google Maps integration
So customers can find your location instantly
SSL certificate (HTTPS)
Secure and trusted — Google flags non-HTTPS sites as 'Not Secure'

Most paid websites at this specification cost between £500 and £1,500. You're getting the same result at zero cost.

Who This Is For
This offer is specifically for local businesses — businesses that serve a specific town, city, or area. That includes:
If you currently have no website, an outdated site, or one that isn't generating enquiries — this is for you.
Why Online Presence Matters
Many customers now check a business online before calling, booking, or visiting. A clear, mobile-friendly website helps them understand your services, trust your business, and contact you more easily.
What I Ask In Return
Just one thing: honest feedback.
After delivery
Once your website is live, I'll ask you to share a short written review — what the process was like and what you think of the result.
Completely voluntary
You will never be required to leave a positive review. I want genuine feedback so I know what worked and what I can improve.
No other requirements
No referral requirement. No obligation to hire me again. No monthly payment. No ad spend. Nothing else.
That's the entire deal. A professional website delivered at no cost, in exchange for a few sentences about your experience.
Why Only 5 Slots
I build every website myself. That means every site gets proper attention — not outsourced, not automated, not templated.
Five is the number of projects I can take on alongside existing client work without letting quality slip. Each slot gets the same focus and care as a fully paid project.
⚠️ When these five slots are filled, the offer closes.
There is no waiting list. Slots are confirmed on a first-come, first-served basis after a short conversation about your business.

The Bottom Line
There's no reason not to claim this. You get a professionally built website at no cost. The only thing at stake is your time — a few messages and some basic business information.
In return, you get an online presence that works for your business 24 hours a day, positions you professionally, and gives customers a reason to choose you over a competitor who offers no better service — just a better first impression.
