Web studio

We build the site.
You take the calls.

Melstone designs and builds websites for tradespeople and local businesses — mechanics, contractors, salons — the kind of businesses that run on reputation, not marketing budgets.

How it works

Four phases, same as any build

PHASE 01 — SURVEY

Free mockup

We build a real preview using your actual business details before you commit to anything.

PHASE 02 — FOUNDATION

Content & structure

You send photos and details, we lay out the pages around what your customers actually need to see.

PHASE 03 — FIT-OUT

Design & build

Full responsive build — mobile, tablet, desktop — with your reviews, services, and contact details wired in.

PHASE 04 — HANDOVER

Live & maintained

Site goes live, you get a preview link first, then ongoing hosting and small updates each month.

FAQ

Questions we get asked

Is the mockup actually free?+
Yes. Melstone builds a real preview using your business's actual name, services, and details before you pay anything or commit to anything. If you don't like it, you walk away with no cost.
How long does the whole process take?+
Most sites go from first mockup to a live preview link in 3–5 working days, depending on how quickly you send over photos and content. Larger sites with more pages can take a little longer.
What's included in the monthly hosting fee?+
Hosting, security updates, and small content changes (like updating opening hours or swapping a photo) are covered in the monthly fee. Bigger changes, like adding a new page, are quoted separately.
Do I need to sign a long contract?+
No. The build itself is a one-time cost, and ongoing hosting runs month to month. You can cancel hosting with 30 days' notice — see our Terms of Service for the full details.
I already have a domain name / old website — can you use it?+
Yes. Send over your existing domain or hosting details and Melstone will handle pointing it at the new site, or migrating everything across, as part of the build.
What do you need from me to get started?+
Just your business name, what you do, and roughly what you'd want on the site. Photos, reviews, and finer details can follow once you've seen the mockup and decided to go ahead.
