Website guides for small businesses

Worth knowing before you pay anyone, including us.

How to tell if your website is costing you work

Five checks you can do yourself in about ten minutes, no tools and no jargon.

How much does a website cost in Ireland?

The ranges quoted across the market, what pushes a quote up or down, and what a yearly fee buys once the site is live.

Getting found on Google, and now on AI too

The free things that matter most, in the order worth doing them, including the one nearly everyone misses.

How to get found on ChatGPT and Gemini

There is no AI listing to sign up for. The assistants read the same two indexes everyone else does, and one hosting setting can lock them out without telling you.

Is Facebook enough, or do you need a website?

What a Facebook page does well, where it quietly fails you, and how to tell which side of the line your business is on.

What happens when your domain quietly dies

We found dozens of businesses whose website address no longer loads. Most of them have no idea. How to check yours in two minutes.

Online booking: link, embed or full system

Three very different jobs get sold under one name. Knowing which one you need can save you hundreds.

What an AI assistant on your website actually does

Past the hype, it does three specific jobs. What they are, what it must never do, and the new rule it has to follow.

Who actually owns your website?

Three things decide it, the domain, the files and the hosting, and most owners have never checked any of them.

The questions to ask before paying for a website

When do I pay, who owns what, and what happens if the builder disappears. The checklist worth bringing to anyone, with our answers on the record.

Your web designer has gone quiet. What to do, in order

The order matters more than the effort. Secure the address first, save a copy second, and start the awkward conversation third.

How long a website actually takes

Building the pages is the quick part. The delay is somewhere else, and it is the same place nearly every time.

What your website numbers actually mean

Impressions, clicks, visits and views are four different things and they never agree. What each one is, which ones matter, and whether yours are any good.

Should you quote a job from photos?

When photos are enough, when they will cost you money, and how to ask for ones you can actually price from.

How to get more Google reviews for a trade business

Ask on the day the job finishes, one message with one link, reply to every review. Where the link lives and the rules that get profiles suspended.

The Google Business Profile checklist for a trade

The ten fields that decide whether a trade shows up on the map, the order to fix them in, and the one that is usually missing.
