A conversation
What you do, where you work, and how you get jobs at the moment.
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.
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.
The site you have was built once, years ago, and has not been touched since.
It was designed on a laptop, and nearly everyone who visits is on a phone.
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.
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.
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.
What you do, where you work, and how you get jobs at the moment.
What people in your area actually type, so the site is built around real demand.
Drawn for your business, phone size first, then built fast and tested properly.
Live, yours, and kept working — with optional monthly SEO from there.
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.
