Services

Small business web design and website services.

Most small businesses need a website that explains the business, answers the obvious questions, works on phones, and gives people a clear next step. Our services cover custom website design, website redesigns, starter websites, website audits, website maintenance, and ongoing website support, with accessibility, SEO, performance, and best-practices checks built into the work.

Website redesigns, rebuilds & refreshes

For existing small business websites that need a website redesign, website refresh, stronger structure, clearer writing, better mobile pages, updated visuals, or cleaner customer paths.

We keep what still works, remove what does not, and rebuild around the information people look for before they call, visit, book, order, or request a quote. Accessibility, performance, and SEO basics are checked before launch.

Best for: Outdated sites, DIY sites, underperforming new sites, confusing agency builds, and businesses whose website no longer matches the work they do.

Custom starter websites

For new or focused sites where the business needs custom website design that gets the useful basics done clearly without overbuilding.

A starter site covers the essentials first: what you do, where you are, what makes the business a good fit, and how people can contact, visit, book, or buy. Then we check accessibility, speed, search basics, and clean technical behavior.

Best for: New businesses, lean rebuilds, changed businesses, side businesses, and owners who need a clean web presence without overbuilding.

Website maintenance & support

For businesses that want website maintenance, routine website updates, monthly website support, local information, and search-facing content looked after once the site is live.

Site care covers website updates, fixes, seasonal changes, content swaps, new photos, service edits, SEO content refreshes, basic checks, and small improvements over time. For small sites that do not need a complex hosting setup, care can include simple hosting support. We can also help keep Google Business Profile details aligned with the website.

Best for: Owners who do not want the site to fall behind again.

Website audits & reviews

A low-pressure website review and practical website audit for finding what is getting in the way.

We review the current website from a customer point of view, check the quality basics, then turn the website audit findings into a fix list and suggested scope.

Best for: Owners who know something is off but are not sure whether they need a cleanup, rebuild, or fresh start.

What it can look like

The page should make the next customer path visible.

Bar & grill ordering, landscapers' estimates, urgent plumber calls, and doggy day care first-visit requests all need different page structures. The screenshots below show how the same practical standards can turn into very different websites.

Structure

A rebuild is mostly better decisions in a better order.

The visual work matters, but the bigger shift is usually structural: fewer dead ends, clearer proof, and a path that matches what customers came to do.

What you do Why it fits Where and when How to act

Process

A practical rebuild, not a drawn-out agency production.

We start with the website people use today, then separate urgent fixes from nice-to-haves so the work stays focused.

Review

Find what is getting in the way

We look through the website for clear details, mobile usability, accessibility, SEO structure, speed, outdated content, missing information, and broken paths. For many owners, this is the practical website audit before a rebuild or cleanup.

Shape

Plan the useful version

We plan the pages, sections, wording, calls to action, and paths that support the way customers actually decide.

Build

Make it clear and sturdy

We rebuild or launch with cleaner structure, clearer copy, accessible markup, mobile-friendly pages, local SEO foundations, and simple ways for people to act.

Care

Keep it current

After launch, we can handle website maintenance, website support, updates, fixes, seasonal changes, and small improvements so the website does not drift again.

Best fit

For owners who need the site handled.

Old Hand Works is built for owner-operated and local businesses that need a better website without managing a complicated agency project or losing hours trying to assemble it themselves in a self-serve site editor.

Good fit

Restaurants, shops, trades, and independent service businesses

Businesses with real customers and a site that is not carrying its weight

Owners who want clear recommendations instead of jargon

Websites that need clearer services, stronger proof, better mobile usability, and easier contact paths

Owners who want to launch once and ignore the site for years
