Three homepages, built to put your photos first
These are finished homepages, not sketches. Same two of us, three completely different businesses. Scroll each one right through. On a real build your own photos go where these do, and that is most of what makes a site look like a proper business. You send them over, we do the rest.

"Been in three gyms round here. This is the only one where the bars are straight and the plates are where they should be."
Callum R. — member since 2023"Started at 6am on a Tuesday terrified. Dan spent forty minutes showing me round and didn't once make me feel daft."
Hannah W. — member since 2025"The 24/7 fob has changed everything. I work shifts and I can finally train at half eleven at night."
Joel A. — member since 2024Walk in, train a week, then decide. That is the whole offer.

We turn up when we say, we sweep the site every evening, and we come back at six months to check the planting took.

None of these are real businesses. We invented all three so we had something honest to show you. The pictures are stand-ins, there to show how much work a big photo does on a page. On your site they would be your photos instead. Everything in the frame is the real thing, not a screenshot. The counters count, the reviews slide, the strips scroll. Scroll each one to the bottom, or open it full screen.
Two of us build it, and you talk to both
No account manager and no ticket queue. George takes the first call, and from then on you deal with Otto and Max, the two people actually building your site.
- Written from scratchNo template, no page builder. Every line of the three designs above was typed out by one of us.
- Answered the same dayWe are at college, so calls land best after five. Messages get a reply the day they arrive.
- Changes are already paid forOne set a month is in the £15, so you are not invoiced again every time a price moves.
Phone photos, made good enough for your homepage
Most small-business photos come straight off a phone, and it shows. We use AI tools to fix the light, sharpen the detail and clear the clutter out of the background. Send us what you've got and it comes back ready for the front page.
Short on photos? We can also make AI-generated ones for you if you'd like.
Photo fixing and AI-made photos come with Premium. They aren't part of Starter.

Nobody hires a trade they can't look up first.
That's the whole argument for having one.- They check you before they ringSomeone passes on your number. The first thing they do is search your name. If nothing sensible comes up, a lot of them carry on searching.
- It answers what you're sick of answeringPrices, hours, the areas you cover, whether you do that one awkward job. Written down once, instead of said on the phone forty times.
- A Facebook page isn't the same thingIt won't come up when someone types "plumber Ipswich", it's full of other people's posts, and you don't own it.
Straight answer, though. A website won't make people need you. What it does is help you win the ones who already do. When someone looks you up, it shows them you're real, what you charge and how to reach you. For a small business, that's most of the job.
Why we build it before you pay
Most people we speak to have either been burnt before or have never had a website and can't picture what they'd be buying. Asking someone for £500 on the strength of a phone call is a lot, so we don't. If we're any good you'll want it. If we're not, you've lost twenty minutes.
A quick chat on the phone
Twenty minutes. We ask what you do, who your customers are, and what you'd want people to see first.
We build the first draft
The real website, not a sketch. About a week. Still nothing to pay at this point.
You look, and tell us what to change
Have a proper click round it on your phone. Anything you don't like, say so and we'll change it.
Pay only if you like it
If it's right, you pay once and we put it live. If it isn't, you walk away and it hasn't cost you a penny.
What we can actually build
Not a list of buzzwords — everything below is running live on this page. Drag it, tap it, move the sliders, hover the cards. If you can do it here, we can put it on your site.
The same thing, for a real job
Every trade has a before. A garden, a bathroom, a boiler cupboard, a haircut. Put the two photos side by side with a handle in the middle and people will drag it back and forth for longer than they'd read any paragraph you wrote. Drag this one.
This is the mechanism we'd put on your site with your own photos. Phone snaps are fine — it's the contrast that does the work.
Your work, always on the move
A strip of jobs drifting past — one row left, one row right. It stops when someone hovers so they can look properly. Placeholder tiles for now; your photos go in here.
Opening hours that know the time
Instead of a table people have to read, the site just tells them whether you're open right now. It changes by itself.
Numbers that count up
Years on the job, reviews, jobs finished. They roll up when someone scrolls to them, which makes people stop and read.
A gallery people click through
Your work, big and easy to browse. Tap a thumbnail and the main picture changes without the page reloading.
Full bathroom refit — Woodbridge
Reviews that rotate
Your best Google reviews cycling on the front page, so the first thing anyone reads is somebody else vouching for you.
"Boiler packed in on the coldest night of the year. Out within the hour and had it going before bedtime."
Sarah W. — Woodbridge"Quoted £3,600 for the bathroom and that's exactly what we paid. Took all the rubbish away too."
Mr & Mrs Patel — Stowmarket"Third plumber we rang and the only one who turned up when he said he would."
Ian B. — IpswichA price they work out themselves
People want a number before they ring. Let them move a slider and get a ballpark, and you get enquiries from people who already know roughly what it costs.
Things that arrive as you scroll
Sections fading and sliding into place as someone moves down the page. Subtle, but it's the difference between a site that feels new and one that feels like a leaflet.
Also on the list
Less flashy, all useful. Say the word and any of these go on yours.
- Tap-to-call button that follows people down the page
- WhatsApp straight to your phone
- Online booking with real time slots
- Cards that tilt and light up under the pointer
- Photo upload on the quote form
- A page for every town you cover
- Google map with directions
- Enquiries forwarded to your email
- Gift cards and vouchers
- Seasonal banners you can switch on and off
- Loads faster than the one you've got
We're two college students, and we'd rather tell you ourselves
Otto and Max. We're at college in Suffolk and we've spent the past couple of years learning to build websites properly: how they're designed, how they're put together, and why so many small-business ones fall short of what the business deserves.
You're going to wonder whether that matters. Here's the honest version. It means we cost a fraction of what an agency charges. It means you get the two people doing the work instead of an account manager. And it means we care an unreasonable amount about the first sites we put our names to. You shouldn't take our word for any of that, so don't. Judge the work instead.
Websites are the whole business at the moment. Plumbers, barbers, landscapers, cafes, cleaners, sparkies, groomers, anyone running something small and local. Most have either never had a website or have one they're quietly embarrassed by. Ring us and you'll usually speak to George first, then straight to whichever of us is building your site. There is nobody else to be passed to.
Otto
Co-founder. Designs and builds the sites with Max, and looks after them once they're live. Does most of the photo work, including fixing up your phone pictures with AI.
Max
Co-founder. Designs and builds the sites with Otto, and looks after them once they're live. Does most of the work on getting you found on Google.
George
Sales associate. Usually the first person you'll speak to. He answers calls, explains how it all works, and gets you started with Otto and Max.
What we actually do
Anvil Works does website design for local trades and small businesses. Plumbers, electricians, builders, landscapers, barbers, cafes and cleaners are exactly who we build for. We're based in Felixstowe, so we're easy to meet if you're in Suffolk, around Ipswich, Woodbridge or Stowmarket. We also build websites for small businesses anywhere in the UK. Every site is designed and built from scratch, works properly on a phone, and is set up so Google can find it.
Build you a website
From nothing. Send us your logo, some photos and your prices, and we do the rest.
Fix the one you've got
If it's dated, slow or unreadable on a phone, we rebuild it properly and keep whatever still works.
Keep it up to date
Prices change, you take on staff, you add a service. Send us the details and we’ll update the site. That is what the £15 a month is for, so you are not paying us again each time. One set of changes a month is plenty for a business like yours, so that is what it covers.
Get you found locally
Google Business Profile, maps, opening hours and reviews set up so you turn up when someone searches your trade and your town.
One payment at the end, then fifteen a month to keep it running
You pay once, at the end, and only if you want the site. After that it is £15 a month to keep it online. That covers the hosting, your domain and its renewals, backups, and one set of changes a month, which is more than most businesses ever use. The first six months are committed, and after that you can stop any time with a month’s notice. If you do stop, the website and the domain are handed over to you and they are yours to keep.
Starter
six months minimum, then a month’s notice
Tells people who you are, what you charge and how to reach you, with a gallery so they can see your work. Right for most sole traders.
- Three rounds of changes. A rough draft first, then your notes, then a final pass.
- As many pages as your business needs
- A gallery of your work
- Price list, opening hours and a map
- Enquiry form, tap-to-call and WhatsApp button
- Domain and hosting paid for in the monthly, and yours if you leave
Premium
Unlimited changessix months minimum, then a month’s notice
Online booking, your Google reviews on the site, and changes until you're happy. Right if you've got a team, a shop, or jobs worth showing off.
- Everything in Starter, plus:
- Changes until you're happy. No limit while we are building it, until you say it's right.
- Online booking or quote form, with dates and photo upload
- Your Google reviews pulled onto the site
- Google Business Profile set up and verified
- Logo tidied up, or one made if you haven't got one
- Your photos fixed up with AI, and AI-made photos if you need more
Leaving. The first six months are committed. After that, tell us and we will stop it a month later. When it stops you get the domain put into your name and the website files, at no charge. If you then want something changed that you cannot do yourself, we still do it, usually £20 to £50 depending on the size of the job, and we tell you the price before we start. Need something bigger — an online shop, customer logins, several locations? Tell us what you're after and we'll quote it properly. Ask about a custom build.
Still not sure which one fits?
Tell us what you do and we'll say which we'd build, even if that's the cheaper one.
Fill in the form below, or just ring us
A few details about the business and we'll get started. If you would rather talk, call or text 07915 798255 and you'll get one of us. If you don't actually need a website, we'll say so.

Where we workAnywhere in the UK
Messages and emails get answered the same day. We're a small team and Otto and Max are at college, so calls are best from 5pm to 8pm on weekdays and between 12pm and 5pm at weekends. If we cannot pick up, send a message and you will hear back.
Social media management, coming later this year
Right now we do one thing: build and look after websites. We're putting together a service that would run your Facebook and Instagram for you — posts written and designed, your job photos tidied up, comments answered.
It isn't ready and we aren't taking money for it yet. If you'd like to know more, just message or WhatsApp us on 07915 798255 and ask.
