Local Service Site
Small business website design you own
A fast site for a local business, on your own account, built to turn visitors into calls.
Small business website design for local service businesses: a fast, search ready site built to convert on the first scroll. One site covers every service you offer and every area you serve. It runs on your own account, and you keep all of it.
Who it is for
Businesses that get found by people nearby: trades, clinics, childcare, home services and practices that serve a set of neighbourhoods rather than the whole internet.
What you get
- → A static Astro build on Cloudflare, in your own account
- → A page for every service and every area you serve, with local structured data
- → Contact and booking forms that land in your inbox, with spam stopped before it reaches you
- → A sitemap, robots file and social images generated automatically
- → Your Google Business Profile set up or cleaned up so the listing and the site agree
- → Words you can edit yourself without waiting on a developer
- → A full handover: the code, the accounts and the credentials are yours
Found by the people nearby who are already looking for you.

Questions people ask
What if I already have a WordPress site?
We move it. Every old address gets a redirect, so the search ranking you already earned carries across. We check your email records before touching the domain, because moving nameservers is the one step that can take your email down.
Who owns the site when you are done?
You do. The code sits in your GitHub, the site runs in your Cloudflare account, and the domain is in your name. If we stop working together, the site keeps running and nothing needs to be handed back.
Can I change the words myself?
Yes. You get an editor in the browser with guardrails, so an edit cannot break the build. The owner of Houston Nannies also files her own problem reports through a form that opens a real ticket. She filed eleven. All eleven were closed.
How do I know the contact form actually works?
Every enquiry is saved to a database and emailed to you, with the reply address set to the person who wrote in. Bots are stopped with a hidden field, a timing check and a challenge. If the challenge itself fails to load, the enquiry still gets through instead of vanishing.
Do you build websites for contractors?
Yes. Trades and home services are exactly the businesses this is built for: a page for each service and each area you cover, a quote form that reaches you, and a Google Business Profile that matches the site.
