GetFoundOr StayInvisible

We build websites for Leicester businesses. Designed for your trade, written for your customers, quick on a phone — and built so people can actually find it.

Most local websites
were built once
and then left.

Put together years ago, on a template, by somebody who has since moved on. It still loads, so nobody touches it — and meanwhile it is slow on a phone, awkward to change, and says almost nothing a customer wanted to know. The hosting still goes out and the domain still renews either way.

  • 01

    The site you have was built once, years ago, and has not been touched since.

  • 02

    It was designed on a laptop, and nearly everyone who visits is on a phone.

  • 03

    Nobody finds it, so it costs the same every month and returns nothing.

All three are fixable, and none of them require you to understand any of it.

None of this is unusual, and none of it is your fault. A website is not something most people buy twice, so there is no reason you would know what a good one costs or what it should do. What you end up with is a site that was fine at the time, for a business that has since changed.

A good one is not a brochure. It answers what people ring up to ask, works on the phone they are holding, and you can change it yourself without waiting on anybody. Being found on Google matters too — that is the part we can also keep doing monthly — but a site nobody wants to use is not fixed by traffic.

Every trade needs
a different website.

A salon and a garage want different pages, different photographs and a different thing on the home screen. Pick yours and see what we would build, and what people are typing when they go looking for it.

Pick your business

What they type

Booked on a phone, usually for the same week. Whoever shows prices and availability first gets the call.

  • Cut and finish
  • Colour and highlights
  • Balayage
  • Wedding hair

What they type

Decided in under a minute, often while already walking. Opening hours and a photograph of the room do most of the work.

  • Breakfast and brunch
  • Takeaway coffee
  • Function bookings
  • Dog friendly

What they type

Half diary, half emergency. An MOT is a date booked weeks out; a warning light is a search made in a lay-by.

  • MOT testing
  • Servicing
  • Diagnostics
  • Tyres and brakes

What they type

Researched for weeks and joined in a rush. People compare timetables and prices long before they walk in.

  • Memberships
  • Class timetable
  • Personal training
  • Day passes

What they type

The urgent half arrives in pain and picks whoever is taking patients. The steady half is checkups and hygiene.

  • Taking new patients
  • Emergency appointments
  • Hygienist
  • Whitening and implants

What they type

Searched at 9pm, on a phone, by someone who has just lost power. Your site gets one screen to answer.

  • Fuse board upgrades
  • EICR certificates
  • Rewires
  • EV charger installs

Four things.
Done properly.

  1. Website design & build Designed for your trade, built phone-first and fast, with a CMS built in.
  2. SEO Optional monthly work that keeps the site in front of people: on-page, profile and local links.
  3. Lead generation Forms that arrive, numbers you can tap, and tracking that shows which pages bring the work.
  4. Hosting & maintenance Fast hosting, updates and backups. The domain stays in your name.

Priced in public From £650 for a five-page site, up to a bespoke build with no page limit. Most of this industry makes you ask, then quotes a number based on what they think you will pay. All three packages are on one page, with what is in each, so you can work the cost out before you speak to anybody.

Four stages,
in this order,
for a reason.

01

A conversation

What you do, where you work, and how you get jobs at the moment.

02

Research

What people in your area actually type, so the site is built around real demand.

03

Design & build

Drawn for your business, phone size first, then built fast and tested properly.

04

Launch & upkeep

Live, yours, and kept working — with optional monthly SEO from there.

We are new.
No fake logos.
No invented reviews.

No client logos we have not earned, no five-star reviews we invented, and no case study numbers we made up. Our first client site launches shortly and will appear here when it is genuinely live.

Until then, the thing you can judge us on is this website: how fast it loaded, how easily you found what you needed, and whether it reads like it was written by someone who understands your job.

Alvex Creative is run from Leicestershire, and the person who builds your site is the person who answers the phone. No account manager, no handover to somebody you have not met.
