Most of your visitors are on a phone. Every page is designed at phone size, then scaled up.
Found on Google
Proper titles, descriptions, Google Business Profile links and local search basics from day one.
Fast everywhere

Taking new projects
Hi, I'm Reece.
I'm based in Sandbach, Cheshire. By day I run the office and systems at a family heating and plumbing firm: the diary, the job management, the customer database. I see every day what wins a trades business work and what wastes its time.
Birchwork is me building that into websites. Fast pages that make the phone ring, forms that land in the right inbox, and a site you never have to think about once it's live.
You deal with me from the first call to launch and after. No account managers, no ticket queue.
Clear starting prices.
Your quote is fixed before any work starts. No surprises.

Do I own the website?
Your domain, your words and your photos are always yours. The code stays with me while you’re on a care plan, which is how hosting, fixes and updates stay included. If you ever leave, you can take a full copy of the site for a one-off £150 / $199.
Is there a contract?
A one-page agreement covering scope, timeline and payment. Builds are 50% up front and 50% before go-live. Care plans run for a 12-month minimum, then month to month.
I already have a Wix or Squarespace site. Can you move it?
Yes. I rebuild it properly, keep your domain, and switch it over with no downtime.
What do I need to provide?
Your logo if you have one, photos of your work, and a rough idea of your services. I write and tidy the copy with you.
Do you work with businesses outside the UK?
Yes. I currently build for clients in England and the United States, and write copy in UK or US English to match.
What if I want changes after launch?
Small changes are covered by the care plan. Bigger additions are quoted separately.
Let's build yours.
Tell me about your business. I reply within one working day with a fixed price and a rough timeline. No obligation.
