Why a website · For the small and the self-employed
Nearly 9 in 10look you up first.
Before they ring, before they book, before they buy: they search. If nothing proper turns up, the job goes to whoever did.
Illustrative brand imagery, not a real Apexium customer.
One studio, one standard: every Apexium site is designed and built end to end by us, never farmed out.
Before the pitch
Signs you're losing work without knowing it.
You only exist on social media
A profile can vanish, get buried by the algorithm, or simply not turn up when someone searches your trade and their town.
Your old site still says 2019
Wrong hours, an old logo, a phone number that changed two addresses ago. It quietly costs you every visitor who notices.
You've never shown up on Google
No site means no page for Google to rank. The search happens whether you're in it or not.
Word of mouth only gets you so far
A recommendation still needs confirming. No website to check, and the moment goes to whoever does have one.
The evidence
Not opinion. Numbers you can look up.
customers search online before choosing a trade
of those searches happen on a phone
of UK sole traders have no website at all
of people rate a website's look as a top factor in trusting it
Figures cited from public consumer-research and web-credibility studies, not invented for this page.
The benefits
What a proper site actually does for you.
Found on Google
A real page for a real search: your trade, your town, at the moment someone is actually looking.
Looks credible in seconds
People decide what to trust from how a site looks almost instantly. A proper site answers that before you say a word.
Works properly on a phone
Most searches happen on mobile. A site that is fast and clear on a small screen keeps the visitor you already earned.
You own it, outright
Domain, content, code. One payment and it is yours, not rented from whoever built it.
A studio built for people like this
Not the big brands. The ones who show up and do the work.
Illustrative brand film, generated imagery, not real Apexium customers. Same honesty rule as our example builds.
Four steps. About a week.
How it works, in full01
You get in touch
Your trade and your town is enough.
02
We build it, free
A real working site, on your phone in days.
03
You say what changes
Say it plainly, it changes. Two rounds included.
04
One payment, live
Your domain connected, first year included. Yours.
The portfolio
Real builds, for real trades.
Same trade, before and after
This is the actual gap.
Drag the divider. A demonstration rescue, for a fictional plumber.
Illustrative brand film, not a real Apexium customer.
Who builds it
A new studio, and honest about it.
No borrowed testimonials. Just things you can check.
One studio, one standard
Every site is designed and built end to end by Apexium, never farmed out.
A real company
Apexium Studio, registered in England and Wales.
The guarantee
If your live site ever fails a Google speed audit, we fix it that week, free.
The honest comparison
Social media alone, or a site of your own.
Social media only
- Only reaches people already following you
- Doesn't turn up when someone searches your trade cold
- A profile can be suspended, buried, or simply scrolled past
- No control over what it looks like or how it's ranked
A proper website
- Turns up when someone searches your trade and their town
- Answers price, hours and how to book before they ring
- Yours outright: domain, content, code
- Works alongside social media, not instead of it
