Real websites. Live and working.
Every site on this page was built and launched with Building Websites, from a driving school in Crawley to a network installer working across the UK. Visit the live sites, or drag the slider on our before-and-after rebuilds to compare the old homepage with the new one.
Three sections from four live client sites.
More than a homepage hero: a look further down the page at how each site sells, proves and reassures. Every one is live, so click through and explore.
Stagg Motoring School
A one-instructor driving school with a homepage that answers a nervous learner's questions before they pick up the phone.
The Est@blishment Hairdressing
A bold, characterful salon site that matches the personality of the team behind the chair.
LGN Ltd
A B2B site that leads with the client names and proof that larger buyers look for first.
Dean Ongley Decorating
A sole trader's site built around his own finished rooms and a long track record of reviews.
Rebuilds that changed the first impression.
Same businesses, same services. Drag the handle on each one to compare the old homepage with the new one.

Nicholas Coysh Osteopathy & Wellbeing
A busy page of stock photos and small print became a confident homepage that leads with Nick himself.
Before: A crowded header, a collage of stock images and a two-minute video before visitors learned who Nick was or how to book.
What changed
- A clear promise in the headline: get back to the things you love, without the pain
- Nick's photo and credentials up front, so visitors meet the person who will treat them
- Call and email buttons in the first screen, with his Google rating beside them
- Trust markers such as his GOsC registration number and professional insurance in a strip below the hero

Mainstream Cleaning
From a generic stock hero to a homepage that speaks to the frustrations of facilities managers.
Before: A dark stock-photo hero with a general strapline, a recruitment pop-up and a cookie banner competing for attention.
What changed
- A headline built on the real reason clients switch: cleaners who turn up, every shift, every site
- A 'what you get' panel covering a regular team, a named contact and 24-hour put-right
- Named clients and their Google rating used as proof, high on the page
- Emergency cover promoted in a slim bar across the top

Wiking Plumbing & Heating
A general plumbing site repositioned to win high-end bathroom refits.
Before: A small logo, a one-line strapline and circular photos on a grey band, with little to separate Wiking from any other plumber.
What changed
- Repositioned around the work they want more of: beautiful bathrooms, built properly
- A full-height photo of a finished bathroom to sell the standard of the work
- Gas Safe, Google and Checkatrade badges next to the main call to action
- Project case studies and a clear 'book a consultation' path for higher-value enquiries

Next Level Property Maintenance
A template site with a pop-up and little detail became a homepage that answers a homeowner's first question.
Before: A template homepage with an 'announcement' pop-up, a cookie box and a stock photo, and little detail about the services offered.
What changed
- A headline that names the problem: fed up chasing tradesmen who don't turn up or call back
- Jake introduced by name, with the jobs he takes on and the area he covers
- Photos of his own finished jobs instead of stock imagery
- Two easy ways to get in touch: a free quote form or a WhatsApp photo of the job

Being Spirit
A sparse homepage for a trilogy of books became a shop window that puts the books front and centre.
Before: A mostly blank first screen with text sliding in from the side and no sign of the books themselves.
What changed
- All three book covers shown in the first screen
- A short, clear introduction to what the books are and who wrote them
- 'Find your book' and a sceptic's story as two paths for different readers
- Translations offered from the header for international readers
Drag the handle to compare the old and new homepage.
SPAE
A volunteer society's site rebuilt to turn local concern into paid memberships.
Before: A large slideshow of woodland photos with faded text, and membership buttons above the menu.
What changed
- A clear ask in the headline: keep Ascot, Sunninghill and Sunningdale green for £12 a year
- A planning scorecard showing the society's results from last year
- A quote from the society's AGM minutes to back up the numbers
- 'Join for £12' repeated in the header and hero so it's always one click away
