Websites and hosting

Platforms and hosting for websites that have to earn enquiries, not just exist.

A website is a commercial asset or an expensive brochure. The difference is whether it is built around the enquiry.

Platform choice matters less than most people think, and maintenance matters more. WordPress gives you control and content depth if someone keeps it updated. Webflow and Framer trade some control for speed and reliability.

Whatever you choose, the non-negotiables are the same: fast loading on mobile, a clear phone number, proof of work, and a form that lands somewhere a human sees within minutes.
