Marketing sites that sell the work
A marketing site has one job: turning a visitor into an enquiry. For Game and Flames, an award-winning live-fire caterer in Bexhill, we built 15 pages around that job: a hero video, a gallery, reviews, partners, Stripe checkout for workshops and gift vouchers, and an interactive wedding price calculator, so couples can see a rough price before they pick up the phone. The things that win the work sit where people look first, and everything else earns its place or goes.
Homepages that tell a story
Some businesses sell a feeling before a product. Live Happy coaches women over 40 and leads walking retreats on the Camino de Santiago and in Sedona, so its homepage is a sunrise that comes up as you scroll, not a grid of stock photos. It’s quick as well as good-looking: 0.98 to 0.99 for performance on Google’s Lighthouse test, where 1.0 is the top score. That matters twice over, because Google counts speed when it ranks pages, and a homepage can be beautiful and slow, but nobody waits around to admire it.
Built for the phone in their hand
Your customers will judge you on a phone, often with one thumb and half their attention. We lay out every page for that: a headline you can read at arm’s length, the next step within reach of a thumb, buttons big enough for real fingers, nothing that needs a mouse. On a phone, Live Happy’s homepage still shows its headline, its booking button and the link to its eleven-question quiz on the very first screen, before anyone scrolls.
A redesign that keeps your rankings
A new site shouldn’t cost you the Google rankings the old one earned. Before launch, we list every page on the old site and point each address to its new home with a permanent redirect, so search results, bookmarks and links from other sites still land somewhere useful. Game and Flames’ move from its old site carried 37 of them. Nothing on the old site is switched off until its replacement is live and checked, and Search Console and analytics go in before launch rather than after, so you can see what changed and when.
Proof where people look
Reviews, awards and real numbers do more selling than any adjective, so they go where visitors look first: the top of the page, beside the price, next to the button. Game and Flames had 69 five-star reviews that were invisible on its old site; now the count sits on the homepage, next to its awards. Accreditations, press and named clients get the same treatment, once you have permission to use them. If a number can’t be sourced, it doesn’t go on the page. We hold our own site to the same rule.
