My work

Open them on your phone.

Everything here is live, and you can try each one right here on the page. Book a haircut, join a padel game, ask for a room. They're samples I designed around made-up businesses, and I'll make one for your business too.

Kilbrack Padel, Copper Comb Barbers, Greenfield Landscapes, Larkfield Pitch & Putt and Maigue Meadow House are made-up businesses.

More Google reviews

Make it easy for happy customers to say so.

Most people check Google before they visit, call or book. Most small businesses never ask for reviews. I set it up for you, so a steady trickle of honest reviews comes in without you having to think about it.

  • A counter card with a QR code: customers scan it, tap the stars and leave a review
  • Messages to copy and paste for WhatsApp, text and email
  • Ready-made replies for good and bad reviews
  • A plain-English guide to claiming your Google listing and keeping it right

I never write, buy or reward reviews: Google bans that, and it can get your listing in trouble. Honest reviews only. Ask me for the price.

About me

Hi, I'm Max. You deal with me, from the first message to launch.

I'm a Dublin web designer. I like building things people actually use, from booking systems to sign-up pages, and I know a good website can make a real difference to a small local business.

  • Direct contactNo account manager, no help centre. Just me, on WhatsApp or the phone.
  • Plain EnglishNo jargon, and honest advice about what you do and don't need.
  • See it firstA free sample, so you know exactly what you're getting before you pay.
What you get

Tested before it goes live.

No jargon and no confusing menus. A site that helps customers find you, trust you and get in touch.

Phones first

Most people look you up on their phone. Your site is built for that first, then looks great on bigger screens too. I check iPhone and small Android-size screens, in Safari and Chrome.

Forms that confirm

A contact form that emails you, and sends your customer a confirmation straight away.

Ready for Google

The titles, descriptions and site map Google looks for. Nobody can honestly promise the top spot, but a fast, clear site is the best start.

Checked, not guessed

Every link, every form and the spelling, plus your phone number, prices and hours against what you gave me.

€0

a month. Hosting is free, so you only pay for your web address.

Online booking when you need it

Let customers pick a time or send a request any hour of the day, with an instant confirmation email. It's a bigger job than a standard site, so I quote it separately.

It's yours

The site, your words and your web address are yours, and anything that doesn't work as agreed is fixed free for 30 days after launch.

Already have a website? I'll check it. Free.

I test it on phones and computers, the same way I test my own, and look over your Google Maps listing. Then I email you a short report in plain English: what's working and what to fix. No obligation.

FAQ

Questions people ask.

How much does a website cost?

€500, fixed. Bigger jobs, like online booking, can cost more, but you'll get the exact price before I start. Your web address (.ie or .com) is extra, at cost: about €20 to €30 a year.

Are there monthly fees?

No. Your site is hosted for free, so there's nothing to pay every month. The only ongoing cost is your web address, about €20 to €30 a year, registered in your name.

Do I really see it before paying?

Yes. I make a sample of your site first so you can look at it on your own phone. There's no charge to look and no pressure to say yes.

How long does it take?

You'll see a free sample within 3 days. Once you're happy and I have your photos and details, your site is live within 7 days. Sites with online booking take up to 14 days.

What do you need from me?

Your business name, what you do, your contact details, opening hours and any photos you have. You can send it all, photos included, through one simple form. If you don't have good photos, we'll talk about what to do.

I already have a website. Can you redo it?

Yes. I'll keep your web address and email working, and point your old pages to the new ones so you keep your place on Google. I'm happy to check your current site for free first.

Can customers book through the site?

Yes. I can add online booking or sign-ups with confirmation emails. It's a bigger job than a standard site, so I'll quote it separately.

Can you help me get more Google reviews?

Yes. I set up a counter card with a QR code, messages to send customers, replies for good and bad reviews, and a plain-English guide. I never write, buy or reward reviews, because Google bans that. Ask me for the price.

Can I change things later?

Yes. Anything that doesn't work as agreed is fixed free for 30 days after launch. New changes are quoted before I start, so there are no surprises. If you'd like to change your news, services and opening hours yourself, I can add a simple page for that.

Who owns the website?

You do. Once it's paid for, the website and everything on it is yours, and your web address is registered in your name.
