What is Local Web Studio, and how is it different from an agency?
Local Web Studio is a solo studio: one designer who builds every site himself, at a fixed price, for local businesses that need to be found on Google and get enquiries. No templates, no account managers and no monthly fee to keep the site online.
Most local businesses get sold one of two things. A cheap template that looks like everyone else's and just sits there, or an agency package with a big up front cost, a monthly fee, and an account manager who's never met you. Either way you're paying for something built to a formula, not around your business.
One Prescot builder came to me after paying an agency more than I later quoted, plus a monthly fee, for a generic template that brought him no work. I built him a site of his own instead, and it's now the main way new customers find him. Read the full story
It is a good fit if you need a website that helps people trust you, understand what you do quickly, and get in touch without any friction.
- Trades and home services
- Consultants and specialists
- Businesses relying on Facebook
- Outdated websites that need rebuilding
- New businesses launching properly
- Local services that need more enquiries
It is usually not the right fit for large ecommerce builds, complex apps, or businesses that need a full agency team.
Which local businesses has Local Web Studio built websites for?
Live client sites include Marlborough Builders (Prescot), SEND Guidance (Merseyside), Pure Eden Wellbeing (St Helens), Serenity Therapies (Rainhill), Lynch Property Inspections (Prescot), Travis Arb (Rainhill), Skin at 31 (St Helens) and Rebecca Lee Aesthetics (St Helens), plus the marketing sites for two software products. Each started with a conversation about what the business actually needed.
Marlborough Builders
Joinery and roofing, Prescot
A template that brought no work, replaced with a site that is now the main way new customers get in touch.
A quote in two taps.
Somebody with a leaking roof is not filling in eight fields. The fewer things between wanting to ring and ringing, the more calls arrive.

SEND Guidance
SEND consultancy, Merseyside
A new consultancy, with services explained clearly for both parents and schools from launch day.
Pricing shown openly.
For a parent already anxious and already spending money they had not planned to, an unnamed price is a reason not to enquire.
Read the case study
Pure Eden Wellbeing
Holistic therapy studio, St Helens
An editorial site as calm as the treatment room, with its own booking system and a Google Business Profile set up.
One calm hero, not a busy homepage.
Calm is the thing being sold, and a homepage stacked with offers and buttons would have contradicted it before anyone read a word.
Read the case study
Serenity Therapies
Massage and holistic therapies, Rainhill
Lynne came back for a second site when she moved and rebranded. Prices, her story and booking are each one click away.
One photograph, not a gallery.
Stock spa imagery makes every therapy site look the same. A single still life, held through the page, gives the site something of its own.

Lynch Property Inspections
New build snagging, Prescot
A new name on its own domain, built around 77 faults found in one house the builder had already signed off.
One real number, not a list of promises.
Every snagging site says it is thorough. Showing 77 faults from one house the builder had already signed off says it without using the word.

Travis Arb
Tree surgery and utility work, Rainhill
A DIY site rebuilt as 23 pages, with one route in for homeowners and another for the network operators.
Two front doors, not one.
Homeowners and network operators want different things. Each gets its own route on the first screen, and the quote form asks which you are first.

Skin at 31
Skin clinic, St Helens
A private, one to one skin clinic in Windle, with Janine's own brand kit carried through every page.
Written in her own voice.
People choose a one to one clinic for the person behind it. The site speaks as Janine does, I and me, rather than describing her from a distance.
Read the case study
Rebecca Lee Aesthetics
Lip, skin and facial aesthetics, St Helens
A new name after a rebrand from Aesthetics Excellence, on its own domain, with every treatment starting from a consultation.
Rebecca first, then the treatments.
After a change of name, clients need to know it is still the same hands. Putting Rebecca in the hero answers that before anyone reads a price.

Also built: launch sites for two of my own software products
- AccreditPassContractor compliance softwareOwn productaccreditpass.comThe launch site for a compliance platform for facilities teams, built to explain a technical product quickly and turn interest into demo requests.
- AquaAssurePool compliance softwareOwn productaquaassure.co.ukThe launch site for pool compliance software, leading with a live dashboard animation and walking operators from problem to pricing in one scroll.
Launching a product? The same approach works for anything technical that needs explaining simply.
Why is a Facebook page or an old website not bringing in enquiries?
A Facebook page does not appear properly in Google, buries your services and prices in a feed, and makes some customers doubt the business is established. An outdated website has the same problem with one more: it looks like nobody is home.
People search before they call
BrightLocal’s Local Consumer Review Survey finds that the large majority of consumers research local businesses online before making contact. If you don’t appear in search results, they find someone who does.
Important information gets buried
Your services, location and contact details should be easy to find in one place. On social media, they get lost in a feed.
No website can raise doubts
Fair or not, many customers expect a proper business to have a proper website. A clean, professional site settles that question immediately.
Your competitors already have one
In Google’s local results, the businesses that appear first almost always have a website as well as a Google Business Profile. Google’s own guidance on improving local ranking lists a complete, accurate profile and a linked website among the factors it uses.
How does the process work?
Three steps: a short conversation, a free homepage concept if it is a good fit, then a build you review before launch. Most Essentials and Signature sites are live within a week of the content being agreed.
- Structure
Demo and plan
A short conversation about your business and what you need. If it is a good fit, I put together a demo so you can see the direction before committing to anything.
- Content and design
Design & Review
I build the site around your services and content, sharing progress as I go. You review everything before launch, and I refine it with your feedback.
- Live
Launch and handover
I set up hosting, connect your domain and take the site live. You get a full walkthrough of how everything works. Optional care plans are available if you want ongoing support.
How much does a website cost?
Essentials is £750 (up to five pages), Signature is £1,450 (up to ten pages) and Bespoke starts from £2,250, each fixed in writing before any work starts and including twelve months of hosting. If you are still comparing options, my guide explains what a website actually costs.
Website Design
Designed for your businessI learn how your business works and design a site that explains it clearly. No templates, no guesswork. Everything is shaped around your services and your customers. This is what small business website design looks like in practice.
Build & Launch
Live within a weekHosting, your domain, an email address on it that forwards to your inbox, and a site that works on every screen. You approve the design, I take care of the rest. Most sites are live within a week.
Care & Support
Ongoing, optionalContent changes, security updates and someone to call if anything needs fixing. Your site stays current, secure and properly looked after.
A fixed quote before any work starts
The prices below are fixed and agreed in writing before anything is built. Every package includes twelve months of managed hosting. After that, hosting is £96 a year and stays at £96 for as long as you are with me. On hosting alone, you renew your domain with the registrar, typically £10 to £15 a year. Every care plan includes it. Care plans are optional.

Template, agency or Local Web Studio: what you pay over three years
Monthly website deals look cheaper because the number is smaller. Over three years they usually are not.
Show the three-year comparison
| Detail | Template or pay-monthly site | Local Web Studio | Agency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | From around £450, or nothing upfront on a monthly deal | £750 (Essentials) or £1,450 (Signature), fixed in writing | Typically £3,000 to £8,000 |
| Three-year total | £1,260 to £1,800 on a budget monthly deal, around £4,600 on a rented site you never own | £942 (Essentials) or £1,642 (Signature), including hosting at £96 a year after year one | £2,484 to £6,444 on a pay-monthly agency deal, plus any retainer |
| Who builds it | You, or a template fitted to your logo | Danny, personally, from scratch | A team, through an account manager |
| Do you own it? | Usually not: cancel and the site goes | Yes: site, files and domain, handed over free if you leave | Usually yes, but check the contract |
| Time to live | Weeks of your own evenings | Most sites within a week of content sign-off | Four to twelve weeks is typical |
| Local SEO setup | You configure it | Included on every package | Usually an add-on |
Template, monthly and agency figures are based on published prices from web companies working across Merseyside, checked July 2026, and the UK cost guides linked from my guide to what a website actually costs. Some template builders are cheaper than me and I am not going to pretend otherwise. The Local Web Studio figures are my published prices.

Who builds the website?
Danny Andrews, founder of Local Web Studio in Prescot, designs and builds every site himself. No sales calls, no account managers, and no disappearing once the site is live.
Hello,
I opened Local Web Studio in Prescot at the start of 2026, and I design and build every site myself. Eight client sites are live today: Marlborough Builders, SEND Guidance, Pure Eden Wellbeing, Serenity Therapies, Lynch Property Inspections, Travis Arb, Skin at 31 and Rebecca Lee Aesthetics.
If you get in touch, you speak to me about the business, the site, and what would actually help. Nobody passes you on, which keeps things quicker, clearer, and a lot less frustrating.
The goal is simple: a website that makes your business look credible, explains what you do properly, and gives people an easy next step. If your project needs something outside that, you will hear it up front.

Common questions, answered clearly
Have a question that is not here? Ask Danny directly
- How does the demo work?
- It starts with a short conversation about your business. If it is a good fit, I put together a working sample of your website so you can see the direction, with no obligation to go ahead.
- Which areas do you cover?
- I am based in Prescot and work across Merseyside, including St Helens, Huyton, Knowsley, Widnes, Warrington and Liverpool. Most of the work happens remotely, so distance is rarely an issue, and I am happy to meet locally if that suits you better.
- Do I own the website and the domain?
- Yes, both. The domain is registered to your business and the website design, files and content are yours. If you ever want to move to another developer or host, everything moves with you and I hand it over cleanly. You are never locked in. If you are asking anyone else the same question, my guide sets out the three things to check.
- How long does a website take?
- Most Essentials and Signature websites are live within a week. Bespoke projects take longer depending on complexity. I agree a clear schedule before any work starts.
- Can you work with the content I already have?
- Yes. If you have photos, posts or basic details about your business, that’s usually enough. I’ll organise it and shape it into a proper website.
- Do you redesign existing websites?
- Yes. If your current site isn’t working for you, I can rebuild it or refresh it depending on what makes sense. I’ll be honest about which approach is right. To see where it stands first, the free website health check scores it out of 100 in under a minute.
- What happens after launch?
- You get a full walkthrough of how your site works. Hosting is included for twelve months, then £96 a year. On hosting alone, you renew your domain with the registrar, typically £10 to £15 a year. Every care plan includes it. Optional care plans start at £65 a month if you want updates, reporting and support handled for you.
- What happens after I get in touch?
- Danny replies within four working hours on weekdays, asks anything important that is missing, and puts together the right next step. That is usually a homepage direction, a fixed quote, or both. There is no pressure and no obligation to go ahead.
- How much does a website cost?
- Essentials is £750, Signature is £1,450 and Bespoke starts from £2,250, each with twelve months of hosting included. A founding rate of £595 and £1,150 is open on the next sixteen websites. Every price is fixed and agreed in writing before any work begins.
