Web Design in Exeter —
By Locals, For Locals.
We're a small web & brand studio on Fore Street, Exeter. We build mobile-first websites that load fast, rank locally and convert — for cafés, restaurants, salons, tradespeople and any Devon business that's tired of cookie-cutter templates.
If Your Website Looks Stuck in 2014, Your Customers Notice.
We audit dozens of Exeter business sites a year. Here's what we keep seeing — and what your competitors are getting away with.
Mobile that doesn't work
70% of your traffic is on a phone. If text wraps weird or the menu is broken, they leave in 3 seconds.
No Google Business sync
Searcher types "café Exeter" — you're nowhere on the map. Your competitor with one review beats you.
Free template, paid silence
Wix or Squarespace template that 200 other UK businesses also use. Indistinguishable. Forgettable.
Slow as treacle
Loads in 8 seconds. Google penalises it. Customers bounce. Conversions die.
No way to actually book / buy
"Call us" button on a Sunday at 11pm? You just lost the booking. No online checkout = lost revenue.
Built by someone who vanished
The freelancer who built it is unreachable. You can't update prices, fix typos, or change a phone number.
