The Foghorn
The Port Weller Residents Association's newsletter, online.
The site's job
Make every issue easy for residents to read, on any screen.
Websites that do more than look nice.
We plan, write and build websites for local businesses, makers and non-profits. Each one has a single job, like more calls, bookings, sales or donations, and is set up so people can find it on Google.
20 minutes, no obligation.
What should your site do?
Most websites are a box someone checked: a logo, an address, maybe a photo of the front door. People decide in a few seconds, and if they can't find what you do or how to reach you, they move on. So before we design anything, we write down the one job your site has to do.
For plumbers, landscapers and contractors: your number and a quote form at the top of every page.
