A concept I designed and built to show what I do, the same way I'll build your free demo.

Coal & Cleaver

Concept · live-fire restaurant

A made-up live-fire restaurant, built to show what a finished site looks like: a full menu, a photo gallery, and the story of the place. Designed and built in four days. Fast on any phone, and set up to be found on Google.

No. 02 / What you get

Found

On Google, properly

Built so Google knows what your business sells, where it is and when it's open. Your Google listing is set right too, which is what puts you in the map results.

Fast

About a second to load

Most people look a business up on their phone, standing outside, deciding. A slow page loses them. These open in about a second.

Booked

One tap to book

The menu, the photos and the reviews on a single page, with booking and ordering one tap away. Nothing worth knowing is more than a scroll from the top.

No. 03 / How it works

The demo comes first. The invoice comes last.

Most agencies ask you to imagine the website, then pay for it. I do it the other way round — you judge the finished website, live at a real link, before you pay anything.

  1. Tell me about your business

    Your name and a bit about it: what you serve, the feel of the place, anything you'd like on the site. The more detail, the more finished the first draft. Two minutes on the form below is enough to start.

  2. I build it for free

    In two or three days you get a link to a real, finished website. Not a mock-up or a slide: the actual site, working on any device. It uses stock photos to start. Before it goes live, I'll tell you which photos to take, about twenty minutes on a phone, and I'll swap them in.

  3. Love it, and it goes live

    We polish the last details together and it goes live on your own web address, usually within two weeks. After that, I keep it running and up to date: new hours, an updated menu, a fresh photo. Not right for you? Close the tab. Nothing to pay, and no chasing.

No. 04 / Pricing

What it costs.

Two ways to work together. Rent it and I handle everything, or buy it outright and own it from day one. Either way your site is fast, works on every screen, and is built to be found on Google.

No. 05 / The studio

Who's building it.

I'm Nishan, a designer and developer. I build websites for the independent places I walk past every day: the smokehouse on the high street, the café by the station, the little sushi bar still stuck with a PDF menu. Any local business, really. Restaurants and cafés just happen to be where most of them are.

I build every site by hand. No website builders, no off-the-shelf themes. I design it, build it and test it before it goes anywhere near your customers. That's why they load fast, get found on Google, and keep working.

No. 06 / Fair questions

The questions everyone asks.

Everything below is what people actually ask me before they say yes. If yours isn't here, it's not a bother — send it over and I'll answer it straight.

Why is it free, and what's the catch?

There isn't one. A website you can click through beats any sales pitch, so I'd rather show than tell.

  • It costs a couple of days of my time and nothing of yours.
  • If it isn't good enough to win you over, I haven't earned the money.
  • Don't want it? The link disappears. No invoice, no chasing.

Is it really built for my business?

Yes. Built by hand for your business, not a template with a new name dropped into it. That's why it takes a few days rather than an afternoon.

  • The demo uses stock photography, so the design can be judged straight away.
  • Before it goes live, I'll tell you which photos to take. Send them over and I'll swap them in. If you've already got some you like, even easier.

What happens once it's live?

I keep it running. That's what the monthly plan is for.

  • On Managed it's all included: hosting, the security certificate, backups, updates, and if anything breaks I fix it.
  • Small changes (a price, your hours, a photo) are included too, 30 minutes' worth a month.
  • Anything bigger, like a new menu or a whole new page, gets quoted before I start.
  • Bought your site outright? Add a care plan for £59/mo for the same, or £29/mo for hosting and keep-alive only.
  • Would rather host it yourself? Completely fine. I'll hand over everything you need.

Can you help me show up on Google?

Yes. When someone searches nearby, Google shows three map results above everything else. Those come from your Google listing, your Google Business Profile, not from your website.

  • Every site is built so Google can read it: what you sell, where you are, when you're open.
  • On the Managed plan I go through your listing, fix what's missing, and keep it current.
  • Reviews do the rest, and I'll help you get more of them.

Who owns the site?

The web address and the Google listing are yours either way, registered in your name. The site itself is yours outright if you buy it, or mine to run while you rent, and buyable at any time for a flat £1,500.

How long until I'm live?

The demo lands in two or three days. From “yes” to live on your own address is usually about two weeks, mostly us polishing the details together and getting your photos in.

Tell me about your business.

Fill this in and I'll build you a real website, free, in two or three days. No call needed, no commitment. The name of the business is genuinely enough to start.

Three quick things and I can start. The rest is optional, but the more you tell me the closer the first draft will be.
