Hand-built HTML. Loads fast on every device, stays up, secure by default. No themes, no plugin breakage, no monthly bloat. Three live examples below.
No WordPress themes, no page builders, no plugin updates that break things. Written line by line so it loads fast and stays fast.
Local SEO baked in from the first commit. Schema, page speed, on-page structure — the things that actually move the needle on Google.
The person you talk to is the person writing the code. No account managers, no junior handoffs, no agency layer.

DCC London services every major American fridge brand in London — Maytag, Amana, and others. Each brand gets its own micro-site, each one ranking #1 organic and #1 Maps for its target queries. Same template, brand-specific content, full local SEO setup. The pattern's been running for years.
Maytag was the latest migration. The old site was a mobile wall of grey text — slow, generic, no clickable CTAs, design from another era. The new build: typographic hierarchy, click-to-call buttons sized for fingers, trust elements above the fold, the kind of clarity that converts.
Each site in the system runs on the same hosting setup, the same SEO baseline, the same lightweight HTML stack. Cheap to maintain, easy to replicate, and proven to rank — over and over.
Trust above the fold
Freephone, hours, and "real person answers" land before the user has to scroll.
Tap-to-call sized for thumbs
Two CTAs prioritised and stacked. Removed the wall of grey body copy.
Hierarchy that reads on a phone
Editorial serif headline, red accent on the location, scannable in two seconds.
The Leak Team is an established leak-detection business in Newcastle. When the owner — gas safe registered — expanded into boiler installation, service, and repair, he needed a new identity to cover both sides under one brand.
We built Heat & Leak: name, logo, website, and the measurement layer underneath — call tracking, form attribution, schema for local SEO. Launched ready to rank. The full Track. Fix. Scale. method applied to a service business growing into adjacent work.
Brand built from scratch
Name, logo, palette and voice — applied to the website with the van wrap design in flight.
Measurable from day one
Call tracking, form attribution, schema and analytics wired in before the first visitor arrived.
Compounding monthly
One new SEO page added every month on the Standard package — topical authority by accumulation.
Different sizes, same standards. Hand-built, fast, ranked.
Tradespeople, local service firms, owner-operators. Sites designed to rank locally, convert mobile traffic, and not need a webmaster on retainer. Heat & Leak, Innov8 Security, the DCC London micro-site network — all built on this pattern.
Existing site that's slow, old, or unranked? We migrate it onto fast hand-built HTML, with SEO continuity preserved, redirects mapped, content lifted and tightened. Like the Maytag rescue — but yours.
For existing ecommerce clients with custom Shopify needs — checkout edges, product customisations, theme work that goes beyond what plugins can do. We don't lead with this, but we do it well.
Site builds tied to a specific patch — ranked locally, built for the traffic that pays.
