FOR ONLINE COACHES & COURSE CREATORS
Sick of Platform Fees?
If you're paying Kajabi, Kartra or GoHighLevel - this is for you
Kajabi/Kartra fees growing?
£200-400/month that increases as you add members. Your success = their profit.
WordPress plugin hell?
10+ plugins, constant updates, security issues, and it STILL doesn't work right.
GoHighLevel overwhelm?
Built for agencies, not coaches. 90% of features you'll never use.
Facebook hiding your posts?
Algorithm changes mean your members miss your content. And competitors' ads everywhere.
Mighty Networks/Circle fees?
Monthly fees + transaction fees that eat into your margins as you scale.
Don't own your data?
Platform closes or changes policies? Your business is at their mercy.

Common Questions from Coaches
What types of businesses do you build apps for?
We build custom apps for all kinds of small businesses - coaches and course creators, restaurants and cafés, salons and spas, gyms and fitness studios, retail shops, service businesses, and more. If you have customers, we can build you an app to serve them better.
How much does a custom business app cost?
Apps start from £3,995. Costs vary depending on the complexity and requirements of your business. A simple booking app will cost less than a full e-commerce platform with loyalty programmes. We'll give you an honest quote after understanding your needs - no surprises.
What are the App Store fees I should know about?
Apple charges £99/year for iOS App Store plus 30% commission on all in-app purchases and payment fees. Google Play is £25/year plus commission and payment fees. If you're taking payments through your app and want to avoid these commissions, we recommend PWA (Progressive Web App) instead - it's exactly the same experience but bypasses the fees. You stay in complete control.
What's the difference between a PWA and an App Store app?
A PWA (Progressive Web App) works exactly like a native app - it installs on your phone, sends push notifications, works offline, and looks identical to an App Store app. The difference? No Apple or Google approval process, no 30% commission on sales, no annual fees. For businesses taking payments, PWA means you keep more of your revenue. We recommend PWA for most small businesses.
Can you build a restaurant ordering app?
Yes! We build online ordering systems with menu management, real-time order tracking, table bookings, loyalty programmes, and push notifications for special offers. Your customers order directly through your app - no UberEats or Deliveroo commissions eating into your margins.
Can you build a salon or spa booking app?
Absolutely! We build booking systems with appointment scheduling, staff calendars, automated reminders, loyalty points, and customer profiles. Your clients book directly, you reduce no-shows with reminders, and you build customer loyalty - all in your branded app.
I'm not technical - can I manage my own app?
You don't have to! We offer ongoing app development and management services so you can focus on running your business. Alternatively, we build your app with a simple admin dashboard - manage bookings, update menus, send promotions - all without touching code. We provide full training either way. Ask us for an ongoing management quote.
How long does it take to build an app?
If we have access to your existing systems and content, we can build it in just 2-3 weeks. Starting from scratch takes 6-8 weeks. This includes strategy, design, development, testing, and app store submission if needed. We handle everything - you just provide your branding and requirements.
Why should coaches build their own app instead of using Kajabi?
With your own branded app, you own your audience data, control the entire experience, and aren't paying monthly fees that increase as you grow. No platform caps on members, no transaction fees, and you're not at risk of policy changes or price hikes. Your app, your rules, your profit.
Can I move my community from Facebook Groups to my own app?
Yes! While you can't directly export member contact details from Facebook due to privacy restrictions, we help you transition smoothly. You'll announce your new app in your group, and we provide a simple sign-up process for members to join. Most businesses find their engaged members happily make the switch.
How We Work
We work on a simple milestone basis: 50% deposit to start, 50% on completion. You'll see designs and progress throughout, and we provide full training so you can manage your app - or we can manage it for you.
Your website is either your best salesperson or your biggest liability. If it's slow, if it doesn't rank on Google, if prospects can't find what they need in 5 seconds, it's costing you clients — even when it looks beautiful.
We build SEO-ready websites and custom mobile apps for UK small businesses. Website design from £995. Done-For-You SEO from £295 per month (Jo Day personally applies the fixes — no AI bot-fight). Custom mobile app development from £3,995. Every project built to rank on Google, answer AI search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude), and convert traffic into qualified leads.
Website design for UK small business (from £995)
We design and build websites the way Google wants to see them: fast, semantic, schema-marked-up, mobile-first, and genuinely useful. Every website we ship is SEO-ready from day one — not "we'll add SEO later" but actively optimised during the build.
Our standard website build covers 5–10 pages (home, about, services, contact, plus 2–5 service-specific or content pages), full on-page SEO, mobile-responsive design, Google Search Console and Analytics setup, schema markup (Organization, LocalBusiness, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList, Person where appropriate), a lead capture flow, and a basic blog template.
We build on modern stacks: React + Tailwind for custom builds, or WordPress with our preferred theme stack for clients who want to edit their own content. Both are fast, mobile-friendly, and ready for SEO audit tools to return a 90–100 score on PageSpeed Insights.
What SEO-ready website design actually means
Most web designers still build sites like it's 2015. They focus on "looks good" and ignore the ranking signals Google actually cares about: Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP), semantic HTML structure, server-rendered meta tags, mobile usability, structured data, and crawlable URLs.
We build every page with pre-rendered HTML so Googlebot sees unique titles, descriptions, canonicals and schema on every URL — not the generic "site under construction" that React SPAs serve by default. This alone is the single biggest reason most new websites never rank.
We hit 90–100 on PageSpeed Insights across mobile and desktop. We pass Core Web Vitals. We submit a clean sitemap to Google Search Console on launch day. We include image sitemaps so your product and blog photos surface in Google Images. We configure robots.txt to allow AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot) so your brand gets cited in AI answers.
Mobile app development for UK businesses (from £3,995)
We develop custom mobile apps for iOS and Android using React Native, plus Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) for businesses who want app-like experiences without the App Store cost and friction.
A Progressive Web App installs from your website, works offline, sends push notifications, and runs full-screen like a native app — but it's one codebase, one build, no App Store review, and ~70% cheaper than native development. For 80% of small business use cases (membership portals, booking apps, loyalty schemes, client dashboards), a PWA is the right answer.
For native iOS and Android apps we use React Native which gives us a single codebase that ships to both platforms. Typical timeline: 8–12 weeks from scope to App Store release. Typical cost: £3,995–£14,995 depending on feature set.
Done-For-You SEO from £295 per month
SEO is not a one-off project. Google changes its algorithm 500+ times per year. Your site needs ongoing maintenance: content refreshes, schema updates, keyword opportunity tracking, Core Web Vitals monitoring, and technical health checks.
Our Done-For-You SEO service starts at £295 per month and includes: monthly comprehensive 31-point audit, Jo Day personally applying every fix to your site (meta titles, descriptions, schema, sitemap, OG tags, image alt text), AI blog publishing on-brand (4 posts/month), Google Search Console monitoring, Bing Webmaster Tools monitoring, rich-result tracking, keyword position tracking, Core Web Vitals alerts, and a plain-English monthly report.
We don't do link-building or black-hat SEO. We don't guarantee #1 rankings (nobody can — if they do, they're lying). We do ongoing maintenance of the SEO fundamentals so your rankings compound over 12–24 months.
Why our websites rank when others don't
We test every page before launch against the same 31-factor SEO audit we use on client sites: title tag length and uniqueness, meta description length and uniqueness, canonical coverage, schema validity, Core Web Vitals, mobile usability, image alt text coverage, internal linking, and external link hygiene.
We pre-render every route of every React website we build, so Googlebot sees unique content on every URL — not just the homepage. This alone solves the #1 reason React SPAs don't rank.
We submit to Google's Indexing API on launch day and set up auto-submission for every new blog post. This cuts discovery time from weeks to hours.
How long does a website build take?
Standard 5–10 page website: 3–4 weeks from signed scope to launch.
We don't rush builds — an SEO-ready website takes roughly twice the build time of a quick WordPress theme job, because proper schema, pre-rendering, sitemap generation and Core Web Vitals optimisation all take real engineering time. The upside: we rarely need to rebuild anything.
Frequently asked questions
The questions every UK business owner asks before working with us.
How much does a website cost in the UK?
Our standard website builds for UK small businesses start from £995 for a 5–10 page SEO-ready site. Larger sites with custom features range £1,995–£4,995. Progressive Web Apps from £3,995. Custom mobile apps from £3,995. Done-For-You SEO is separate, from £295 per month ongoing.
How long does it take to build a website?
A standard 5–10 page website takes 3–4 weeks from signed scope to launch. Larger websites (15–30 pages with custom features) take 6–10 weeks. Progressive Web Apps 6–8 weeks. Native iOS/Android apps 8–12 weeks. We don't rush builds — proper SEO takes real engineering time.
Do you offer WordPress website design?
Yes. We build on either custom React stacks (for sites that need maximum performance and SEO control) or WordPress with our preferred theme and plugin stack (for sites where the client wants to edit content themselves). Both deliver 90–100 PageSpeed scores and rank well on Google.
Can you build me a mobile app for my business?
Yes. For most small business use cases (client portals, booking, loyalty, dashboards) we recommend a Progressive Web App — one codebase, no App Store hurdles, installable from your website, works offline. From £3,995. For cases that genuinely need native features (Bluetooth, ARKit, background services) we build React Native apps that ship to iOS and Android simultaneously.
What's the difference between a PWA and a native mobile app?
A Progressive Web App runs in the browser but feels like an app: installable from a home screen icon, works offline, full-screen, push notifications. It's 60–70% cheaper than native, has no App Store review, and works on every device with one codebase. A native app is built specifically for iOS or Android and ships via the App Store or Play Store. Native is better for apps that need deep OS integration; PWA is better for everything else.
Do you do SEO for my existing website?
Yes. Our Done-For-You SEO service (from £295/month) works on any website — WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, React, whatever. Jo Day personally applies the fixes each month, so we don't depend on plugin compatibility or bot-fighting hosting security. In most cases we can add schema markup, fix Core Web Vitals, and improve rankings on your existing site inside 30 days.
Will my new website rank on Google automatically?
We build every site with SEO fundamentals in place — fast, schema-marked-up, mobile-first, pre-rendered HTML, clean sitemap — so you're not fighting against technical debt. But ranking is a compounding process. Expect 2–6 months for meaningful rankings on competitive UK keywords. If you want faster traction, combine the website with our managed SEO service and content production.
Can my website get found in ChatGPT and Perplexity answers?
Yes — and we build every site to maximise this. We include llms.txt (a new standard that tells AI crawlers how to cite your content), allow AI crawler access in robots.txt (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended), add speakable schema to blog content, and structure pages with clear H1/H2/H3 hierarchy that AI models prefer when summarising.
