The features

What that price actually buys.

  • Built on spec

    I build your site first and send it to you finished. You see the real thing before you decide, not a mock-up or a promise.

  • Live in 7 days

    From the go-ahead, your site is live within a week. No months of back and forth, no waiting on a big agency queue.

  • On your own domain

    It goes live on your domain, in your name. You own the site and everything on it, with no lock-in of any kind.

  • Genuinely fast

    Static pages served from a CDN, no WordPress and no plugins. Fast pages rank better and turn more visitors into calls.

  • Found on Google

    Built to be found in local search, with the plumbing Google looks for done properly from day one, not bolted on later.

  • Looked after monthly

    Someone looks after it and changes it when you need. Two small edits a month and your Google listing kept current.

Why me

Three reasons this works.

You see it before you buy it

I build your whole site first and send it to you finished, so you judge the real thing, not a mock-up. A £99 deposit gets it started and comes off your quote; the balance is only due once you are happy and it goes live. No competitor at this price shows you the finished site first.

It ranks, and there is proof

Isle Jet It, a pressure washing site I built, ranks number one on Google for its core local searches, and in the top two across 66 queries. All organic, no paid ads.

It is genuinely fast

Static, served straight from a CDN, no WordPress. Fast pages rank better and turn more visitors into calls.

// Why Grow

Grow is where rankings come from. A pressure washing site I built ranks number one on Google for its local searches. Getting there and holding it is ongoing work, and that is exactly what Grow does every month: a new content page, active local SEO, review chasing and a position report.

Who I am

One person who builds the site properly

I am Jake. I run FORGE on my own, out of Liverpool. I do not sell you a template and disappear. I build the site, I show it to you finished, and if you want changes down the line you message me and I make them.

I build them fast and static because that is what ranks and what turns a visitor into a phone call. No WordPress, no plugins, no bloat.

Reviews

In their words.

  • We asked Jake to help us create a new website as our old one was outdated and was not doing well with seo. Our new website looks amazing and we are now ranking number 1 on google! Very happy and would definitely recommend.
