One thing, done properly.
We build WordPress websites for small businesses in Latvia, in Latvian, Russian and English. That is the whole business. There is no second service and no list of things we also happen to offer.
Websites, and the things that make them work
Five to seven pages, built in WordPress, designed for the phone before the desktop.
Along with the site we set up the domain, the hosting, the security certificate and the enquiry form, we write the text, and we fill out the Google Business Profile so the business can be found on the map. Those are not extras sold afterwards. A website that nobody can find and nobody can write to is not finished, so we do not call it finished.
After launch we keep it running: updates, backups, security and the text changes every business needs a few times a year.
Plainly, and mostly on WhatsApp
Most of our clients are running the business while the site is being built. So we keep the process short and we do not ask for things you would have to sit down and prepare.
- Everything runs by WhatsApp, email and video call. No meetings you have to drive to.
- A fixed price in writing before any work starts, not an hourly rate that grows.
- You see the finished design, with your own content in it, before we build anything.
- We write the text. You correct it. Nothing goes live that you have not read.
- If you have no photographs, we tell you exactly what to shoot on your phone.
- The domain, the files and the site are in your company's name from the start.
Businesses where the owner answers the phone
Trades and workshops. Shops and showrooms with a physical address. Service businesses. Restaurants, bars, salons and studios. Usually between one and twenty people, usually outside Riga, usually serving customers who read Latvian and Russian.
These businesses have the same problem in common. The work is good and the reputation is local, but online there is either nothing at all or something built years ago that nobody can edit. Meanwhile the customer looking for exactly that service is on a phone, on Google, three metres from the door, finding somebody else.
The limits, stated up front
- We are not the cheapest. A site designed around your business, written properly and translated into three languages costs more than a template filled in over a weekend. If price is the only thing that matters, somebody will always be cheaper than us.
- We don't build 200-page sites. No shops with ten thousand products, no booking platforms, no custom software. Five to fifteen pages is where this works, and past that you want a different kind of company.
- We don't build on rented platforms. No monthly fee to a company that owns your pages, and no site that stops existing the month you stop paying somebody else.
- We don't lock you in. The domain is registered to your company, the files are yours, and if you want to move to another company you take everything with you. We would rather you stayed because the work is good.
- We don't promise a position on Google. Anyone who does is guessing. We do the setup that makes a good position possible and we tell you honestly which parts are outside anyone's control.
Rīga, working across Latvia
Most of the work is outside Riga. Everything runs by WhatsApp, email and video call, so where your business is makes no difference to how the project runs.
