Home / Website Design & Development
We design and build websites for local businesses: pages that explain what you do, a look that fits your brand, and forms that turn visits into enquiries, bookings and registrations. New sites and redesigns.
For schools, academies, studios, clinics and service companies whose customers want to understand them before getting in touch.
Each site has its own brand, typography and booking flow, because each business is different. Open one and use it the way a customer would.
Swim school, ages 6 months to 12 years
A bright, confident site for a children's swim school: levels laid out as pool lanes, lesson times by day, clear fees and a free-assessment request parents can finish in a minute.
Kitchen and bathroom renovation
A photography-led site for a renovation company: recent projects up front, what each service includes, a week-by-week process and a three-question quote request.
Reformer Pilates studio
A calm, precise site for a boutique studio: today's classes on the first screen, the whole week's timetable with spaces left, clear pricing and an intro-class booking.
Ottermere, Larchwood and Stillroom are fictional businesses. We designed and built these sites to show the standard of our work; the photography is licensed stock from Unsplash.
Every project is scoped to the business. Most involve all five to some degree; a refresh might only touch two.
Which pages you need and what goes on each. We help explain your services or programs, prices where you publish them, hours, locations and the questions people ask before they get in touch.
Your logo, colours, type and photography applied consistently, with layouts that make the important things easy to find. A new logo or full brand strategy is a separate project if you want one.
The routes people take to act: an enquiry, a quote request, a booking, an application or a registration. Each asks only what you need, in an order that makes sense on a phone.
Responsive pages, accessibility basics like contrast, keyboard use and labels, fast loading, and search foundations: titles, descriptions, clean headings and a sitemap. No one can honestly promise a ranking.
You review everything before launch. We show you how to make everyday changes yourself. Ongoing updates, support and hosting are agreed separately and written into the quote.
If you want it, enquiries can land straight in your CRM and get an instant reply. That part is optional and scoped on its own.
Five stages, each one agreed before the next begins.
Who your customers are, what they need to know and what you want them to do.
A page plan and the words, so the design has something real to work with.
The look of your key pages on desktop and phone, for you to review.
The full site, forms and search basics, tested on real devices.
Go-live with your approval, then a walkthrough of how to update it.
What a website project with us involves, from the first call to after launch.
Still have a question? bookedlabsco@gmail.com
Both.
With no site yet, we start from what your customers need to know before they get in touch: what you offer, who it's for, how pricing works and how to book.
With an existing site, we look at what's already working before suggesting changes: the pages people visit, where enquiries come from and the wording customers respond to. That way a redesign doesn't throw away what works.
Often, yes.
Sometimes improving what you have is the better choice, and sometimes moving is. Before you decide, we explain the trade-off in plain terms:
As many as your business needs to explain itself, and no more.
Most small businesses need fewer pages than they think. A typical site has a homepage, a page for each main service or program, pricing or how pricing works, an about page, and contact or booking.
We work out the list with you before quoting, so the price matches the real job.
We help structure it and can draft or edit it from what you tell us. You approve every word.
Usually a short conversation is enough for us to draft a page in your voice. You read it, change what doesn't sound like you, and sign it off.
Large amounts of new writing, translation and photography are scoped separately, so you know exactly what's included. If you don't have photos yet, licensed stock can be a starting point, as on our example sites.
Yes. We design for phones first.
Most local customers find you on a phone, often in a spare minute. We test every page at phone sizes, make buttons big enough to tap, keep forms short and check that booking or enquiring works from start to finish.
Our example sites are built the same way. Open one on your phone and try it.
No one can honestly promise that.
What we do is build the foundations search engines look for:
Where you rank also depends on your competition, your reviews, your Google Business Profile and time. Be wary of anyone who guarantees a ranking.
You get a walkthrough so you can make everyday changes yourself.
We show you how to update things like opening hours, prices and photos without needing us.
Ongoing updates or support, who owns the site and where it's hosted are agreed up front and written into the quote, so there's nothing to discover later.
Tell us what you have now, or that you're starting from scratch. Either is fine.
