Small Trades Manchester

A one-page site for a Rusholme kitchen, designed and shipped inside a working week — the template that became our fastest-moving product.

The challenge

The client had a Facebook page and no website. Every quote they had been given was four figures and six weeks. They needed an address they could print on a card, not a content-management system.

The approach

One page, honest photography, the menu as real text rather than a PDF, and a phone number that dials on tap. Built as static HTML on a free tier so the running cost is effectively nothing.

The outcome

Live in four days. The owner’s line was that it was the first time they had been proud of an internet address — which is the review we keep.

Before

A Facebook page, a PDF menu nobody could read on a phone, and no address to print.


After

A one-page site live in four days, menu as real text, tap-to-call, near-zero running cost.

The process

How it was made.

I

Listen

One conversation in the kitchen. What they sell, who walks in, what they were missing.

II

Shoot

An afternoon of honest photography. No stock, no filters.

III

Build

Static HTML, no framework, no build step. Loads instantly on a bad connection.

IV

Ship

Deployed, domain attached, owner shown how to change the menu in a text file.
