Small websites for serious local businesses.
pHouse builds straightforward, well-made websites for service businesses whose reputation deserves a better first impression online.
The offer is deliberately modest: a fast static site, clear writing, practical maintenance, and no overbuilt agency theatre. We research the business first, use public assets carefully, and build the site by hand.
What we do, and what we avoid.
Most small-business websites do not need a platform, a funnel, or a quarterly strategy retainer. They need to look trustworthy, load quickly, explain the service, and make contact easy.
Research before layout
We look at the business name, reviews, service area, existing photos, colours, logo, and nearby competitors before making design choices.
Plain writing
No inflated slogans. The site should say what the business does, where it works, why customers trust it, and how to get in touch.
Quiet maintenance
Clients email small updates. pHouse handles them. No fragile CMS login unless there is a real reason for one.
Proof from the pHouse bench.
pHouse is not a traditional web agency. It is a software practice applying product discipline to smaller, simpler websites.
Pricing is simple.
Annual payments are paid upfront. Clients can cancel anytime, but annual payments are not retroactively refunded.
Send the current website.
If it looks like a simple rebuild would help, pHouse can prepare a noindex concept demo before any outreach or launch.
