Selected work

A couple of sites we're proud of.

Small studio, small portfolio, so every project gets proper attention. Here's what we've shipped lately.

The Decorator

A confident, hand-crafted site for a Peebles painter and decorator, built to match the quality of 25 years' work.

The brief

William has been painting and decorating across Peebles and the Borders for a quarter of a century. The website didn't reflect any of that: a beige builder-template page that buried the phone number and apologised for itself. He wanted something that looked as crafted as the work, and gave customers an obvious way to get a quote.

What we did

Designed a single-page site on a dark, confident theme, the kind of site a tradesperson can send to a customer without explaining themselves. Lifted the painted "The Decorator" wordmark off a photo of his van and used it as the live logo. Wired up a contact form with reCAPTCHA so enquiries land in the inbox without the spam. Pulled real reviews from his Facebook page in verbatim, with no edits and no marketing-speak.

The outcome

A site William is proud to hand out. The phone number and quote form sit within a thumb's reach on every screen, mobile-first by default. Quick to load, simple for him to update, and a fair reflection of how he actually works.

Borders Hoods

A site for a Peebles-based convertible-hood specialist, the kind of niche where customers travel hundreds of miles to find the right person for the job.

The brief

Borders Hoods supply and fit convertible roofs for classic and modern roadsters (Mazda MX5, Honda S2000, Fiat Barchetta, MG and a long tail of others) out of a workshop in the Scottish Borders. The old site didn't say any of that clearly: enthusiasts arriving from forums weren't sure what was offered or how to book. The brief was to make those things obvious in five seconds.

What we did

Rebuilt from a clean sheet around a single, confident hero that names the niche straight away. Made the work itself the gallery, listed the makes covered, and put the quote form on every page with reCAPTCHA v3 keeping spam out. Mobile-first, since most enquiries arrive on a phone, often from a forum thread or a friend's recommendation.

The outcome

A site that turns visitors into qualified enquiries. The right kind of customer self-selects in the first scroll, and the contact route is short enough that they actually use it. Customers travel from across the country, and the site now reflects why.
