What your customers look for

What your customers look at first

Consumer surveys show what a business website must not lack. That's exactly what I put near the top of every site.

88 %want to see opening hours right away

85 %want a phone number, ideally tap-to-call

82 %look for the address and directions

over 70 %expect prices on the site

83 %read reviews on Google. That's why yours are on the site, with a link.

77 %want to book appointments online. Only 7% of businesses with a website offer this. Adding a booking tool is included.

Older figures and figures from other countries are a guide only.

What you can rely on

Before you trust someone with your website, you want to know who you're dealing with.

See first, pay later

You see your finished draft before you sign anything. Payment only once the site is live.
