01 · What we do

Websites, marketing and AI — one team that knows your business.

02 · Websites

We build your website first. You decide.

No forms to fill in, no page builders to learn and no money up front. You see your finished website before you spend a dollar.

  1. 1

    We build your free preview

    From your current website, public business info and Google reviews, we design a real website for your business — at no cost.

  2. 2

    You review it

    We send you a private link. Love it? Approve it as-is, or tell us what to change — text, photos, colours, anything.

  3. 3

    We launch in 7 days

    We connect your domain, set up your local SEO and go live. Most sites launch within a week of your approval.

Your best Google reviews where customers make up their minds.

03 · Marketing

Marketing that keeps the phone ringing.

A great website is the start. We make sure the right people find it — on Google, on the map, in AI answers and around town — and we show you what's working every month.

Local SEO

Service and town pages, structured data and fresh local content that help you rank where you work.

Google Business Profile & reviews

A complete, active profile, plus QR review cards and follow-ups that bring in steady new reviews.

AI search visibility

We make your business easy for ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI to understand and recommend — and check every month.

Content & social

Monthly local articles and ready-to-post social graphics made from your real reviews and projects.

Print & brand kit

Review cards, flyers, business cards and social graphics that match your website.

Reporting you can read

A plain-language monthly report: visits, enquiries, rankings and AI mentions.

04 · AI solutions

Practical AI, built around how you work.

AI can save a small team hours every week — if it's pointed at the right work and people trust it. We help you choose where to start, teach your team to use it well, and build the tools that make it stick.

01

Strategy

Find where AI pays off — and where it doesn't.

  • A review of your day-to-day work, with opportunities ranked by time and money saved
  • A clear plan: what to start now and what to leave for later
  • The right tool for each job, so AI costs stay predictable
  • A privacy and data plan before anything is switched on
02

Training & adoption

Get your whole team using AI with confidence.

  • Hands-on workshops for owners and staff, by role
  • One-on-one coaching for the people closest to the work
  • A simple AI-use policy: what data goes in, what gets checked and who signs off
  • Prompt and template libraries for your everyday tasks
03

Automation & custom tools

Build the tools your business runs on.

  • AI assistants that answer questions, capture leads and book appointments
  • Workflows that connect your email, calendar, CRM and accounting
  • Custom apps and dashboards for the way you actually work
  • Your data connected, so reports build themselves

Start with any of the three.

A few things we help Island businesses do with AI

  • Answer calls and texts after hours
  • Draft quotes and invoices in minutes
  • Turn job notes into reports
  • Ask every customer for a review
  • Sort the inbox and draft replies
  • Summarize meetings into next steps
  • Build a weekly numbers dashboard

Your accounts, your data

We set things up in accounts you own, and choose AI services and settings that keep your business data out of model training.

Documented and handed over

Every workflow is written down and explained, so your team can run it without us.

People stay in charge

AI drafts, sorts and suggests. Your team reviews and approves anything that matters.

  1. 1

    Free consult

    A no-pressure call about your business and where your time goes.

  2. 2

    A clear plan

    A short opportunity review, with a fixed quote before anything starts.

  3. 3

    Pilot one workflow

    We build one thing first and measure the time it saves.

  4. 4

    Train and grow

    Your team learns it, then we take on the next opportunity.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Who owns the domain and the website?

You do. Your domain is registered in your business's name (or we transfer it to you), and your content, photos and copy are yours. If you ever leave, we hand over your domain and a copy of your site.

Is there a contract?

No long-term contracts. Website builds are a one-time fee, monthly plans are month-to-month, and AI projects are quoted up front. Stay because it's working, not because you're locked in.

I already have a website. Can you still help?

Absolutely. We redesign outdated sites, keep your domain, carry over what works and set up redirects so you hold on to the Google rankings you've already earned.

How fast can I be live?

Your free preview is usually ready within a few business days. Once you approve it, most sites launch within 7 days. Domain changes can take up to 48 hours to spread across the internet.

How do website updates work?

Text or email us — “change Saturday hours to 9–2” or “add this photo”. Our update assistant makes the change and sends you a confirmation with a link. Bigger requests go to a real person on our team.

Do I need to be good with technology to use AI?

No. We start with one simple, useful workflow, train your team in plain language and stay on hand while everyone gets comfortable.

Is my business data safe with AI?

We plan how data is handled before anything is switched on, set things up in accounts you own, choose AI services and settings that keep your business data out of model training, and keep a person in charge of anything that matters.

What does an AI project cost?

It depends on the work. The first consult is free, and after a short review we give you a fixed quote before anything starts — no open-ended bills.

What is AI search, and why does it matter?

More customers now ask tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google's AI Overviews for recommendations instead of scrolling through search results. We structure your site so these tools can understand and cite it, and we check every month how you show up. No one can guarantee AI placement, but we make you as easy as possible to recommend.

What happens if I cancel?

You can cancel your monthly plan anytime. Your domain stays yours, and we'll give you a copy of your site and help you move it if you'd like. Hosting continues to the end of your paid month.
