Capabilities

What a website for your business could actually look like.

Three concepts for three common island business types. Switch between them, and switch between desktop and mobile. The layouts change, because a phone is not a small desktop.

Concepts

Three business types, three different designs.

None of these are clients and none of these businesses exist. They're built to show how the same care produces a very different result depending on what a business actually sells.

Design concept. A fictional business, built to show what's possible. Not a client and not a real business.

Cafe & restaurant

A concept for Driftline Coffee. Open daily · Beachfront.

  • Menu presented so it can be scanned in seconds, not downloaded as a PDF
  • Opening hours and location answered before anyone has to ask
  • A reservation request that works one-handed on a phone
  • Gallery that loads fast instead of stalling the page

Redesigns

The difference a rebuild makes.

Older sites usually aren't broken. They're just hard to read, hard to use on a phone, and quiet about what they want you to do next. A rebuild fixes all three.

About redesigns

Both panels are illustrative mock-ups, not screenshots of a real business.

A comparison of two illustrative website layouts. The “before” layout is cramped, with small text, a narrow column and no clear call to action. The “after” layout uses generous spacing, large readable headings, a clear booking button and a simple card layout.

What's possible

Modern websites can do a lot more than sit there.

You almost certainly don't need all of this. It's here so you know what's available before we work out what's worth building.

  • Take bookings and enquiries

    Connect to the booking system you already use, or a simple enquiry flow if a full booking engine is more than you need.

  • Answer repeat questions automatically

    A chatbot grounded in your own information, with an honest handover to a person when a question needs one.

  • Show up in local search

    Clear structure, accurate location information and fast pages, so you appear for what you actually sell.

  • Work on any screen

    Designed for a phone in bright sunlight with one bar of reception first, then opened up for bigger screens.

  • Stop double-handling information

    Enquiries routed where they need to go, calendars connected, and updates that don't need retyping.

  • Stay fast as it grows

    Built so adding pages, products or tours later doesn't mean starting again or slowing everything down.
