Custom websites for small business
Your business shouldn’t look small online.
Leviathan Unlimited builds modern websites for businesses that are good at what they do and don’t have time to become web developers too.
The difference
Having a website
isn’t the same as
having a presence.
Drag the handle. Same fictional business, same information — two completely different impressions of how serious it is.
The gap
The internet doesn’t know how good you are.
It only knows how you look.
A customer comparing three businesses on their phone gives each one about eight seconds. They aren’t judging your craft, your hours or the twenty years you’ve put in. They’re judging a screen.
Companies with marketing departments, in-house designers and enormous software budgets win those eight seconds by default. Not because they’re better — because their presentation is.
That gap has nothing to do with the quality of your work, and closing it should not require an enterprise budget. That’s the entire reason Leviathan exists.
- What they see first A phone screen
- What they decide Whether you’re serious
- What it costs you The ones who never called
One product, done properly
The complete website
Everything a small business needs to go from little or no useful online presence to a site it can send anyone to.
What’s included
- Discovery session A real conversation about the business, not a form to fill out.
- Two free homepage concepts Two distinct directions for your business, before you commit.
- Site strategy Page structure, priorities and the path you want visitors to take.
- Custom visual direction Type, colour and layout chosen for you — not a stock theme.
- Design and build Every page designed and hand-built, not assembled from blocks.
- Mobile optimisation The phone layout is designed deliberately, not inherited.
- Content organisation We shape what you send into something a stranger can follow.
- SEO foundation Metadata, structured data, sitemap, semantic markup, alt text.
- One revision round A full pass of changes after you see the near-finished site.
- Final polish The last ten percent most projects quietly skip.
- Launch preparation Domain, hosting and the technical work of going live.
Quoted separately, and said up front
- Ongoing hosting and support (optional, monthly)
- New pages added after launch
- Major layout or design overhauls
- New functionality — booking, e-commerce, portals
- Photography, videography and copywriting from scratch
No surprise line items. If your project needs something outside the standard build, you’ll see the number before anything starts.
See it before you buy it
Two concepts. Zero dollars. No guessing.
Almost everyone asks you to pay first and find out afterwards. We do it the other way round.
Before you commit to anything, we design two distinct homepage concepts for your actual business — your name, your services, your industry, your situation. You see real creative direction, not a portfolio of somebody else’s work and a promise.
Then you decide. Keep going with one, combine them, or walk away entirely. All three are fine, and none of them cost you anything.
Start my concepts- Free Two homepage concepts, no cost, no card, no deposit.
- No obligation Look at them and walk away. That is a completely acceptable outcome.
- Your actual business Your name, your services, your industry. Not a generic mockup.
What goes into it
Six things,
all of them yours.
Not six add-ons with six invoices. This is what a complete website means here — pick one to see what it actually involves.
-
Decide what the site is for before designing it.
Most small-business websites fail because nobody ever decided what they were supposed to do. We start with the boring, useful questions: who is landing here, what do they need in the first ten seconds, and what should happen next.
- Who the site is actually for
- The one action that matters most
- What to say first, and what to cut
-
A look that fits your business, not a template’s.
Type, colour, spacing and imagery chosen for your business specifically. The goal is not “modern” for its own sake — it is that a stranger sizes you up correctly in the first two seconds.
- Typography and colour system
- Photography and imagery direction
- Layout rhythm and hierarchy
-
Built clean, so it stays fast and stays fixable.
Hand-built pages, no bloated page-builder plugins stacked on top of each other. The result loads quickly, behaves predictably, and can still be edited in a year without a rebuild.
- Hand-built, lightweight pages
- Fast loads on ordinary phones
- Clean structure you can hand to anyone
-
Designed for the phone first, because that’s where they are.
Most of your visitors will only ever see the phone version. It gets designed deliberately — not shrunk down and hoped for. Thumb-reachable buttons, readable type, no pinch-and-zoom.
- Laid out for touch, not squeezed
- Tap targets sized for real thumbs
- Tested from 320px upward
-
The groundwork search engines actually look for.
Proper titles, descriptions, headings, structured data, a sitemap and clean semantic markup. This is the foundation — not a monthly ranking promise. Anyone guaranteeing position one is guessing.
- Unique titles, descriptions, headings
- Structured data and sitemap
- Semantic, crawlable markup
-
Going live without you learning what a DNS record is.
Final polish, a last pass across devices, and the technical work of putting it on your domain. You approve it. We handle the rest.
- Final cross-device pass
- Domain and hosting setup
- You approve — we handle the switch
How it goes
Almost none
of this is
your job.
A conversation, one batch of materials, one round of feedback. That’s your entire involvement — and most builds are finished within about 48 hours of us having what we need. Everything with a maroon tag below is the only part that needs you.
See the full process-
Free discovery
We talk. What the business does, who it serves, what’s online now, what you wish it looked like. No cost, no obligation, no pitch deck.
Together
-
Two free homepage concepts
Two genuinely different homepage directions, designed for your actual business — your name, your services, your situation. Not a template with your logo dropped in.
We handle it
-
Pick a direction
Concept A, concept B, or a combination. Tell us what you liked and what you didn’t. This is also where you decide whether to keep going at all.
Your move
-
Send your information
Logo, photos, services, menu, hours — whatever you already have. If it lives in a shoebox or a camera roll, that’s fine. This is the only real homework.
Your move
-
We build
The main build happens once we have what we need — and most standard builds are finished within about 48 hours of that point. Not a project you have to chase for two months.
We handle it
-
Review
You see the near-finished site and give one consolidated round of changes. Say what’s wrong. Nobody is precious about it.
Together
-
Launch
Final payment and service agreement, then the site is prepared to go live on your domain.
Together
Steps 4, 8 and 10 are handled entirely on our side — see the full breakdown.
Mobile is the real website
Most of them
will only see
the phone.
So the phone layout gets designed on purpose — not squeezed down from a desktop version and hoped for. Switch the size and watch the same page rebuild itself.
Tap targets sized for thumbs, type that stays readable without zooming, navigation that belongs on a phone. The same care goes into every build.
Optional, after launch
You run the business.
We’ll run the website.
Nobody opens a business hoping to learn a content management system. If you’d rather email a change than make one, hand it to us.
Entirely optional — and you can decide after launch, not before. The site is yours either way.
-
Hosting
The site stays online, secure and current. Not your problem.
-
Three minor updates a month
Text edits, photo swaps, menu changes, hours, event info.
-
Direct requests
Email what you need changed. No ticket system, no portal login.
-
No contract theatre
Optional from day one. Leave and the site is still yours.
Unused updates don’t roll over. Bigger work — new pages, a redesign, new functionality — is quoted separately so a small monthly plan never quietly turns into a big invoice.
What we actually think
Being small is not
the same as
looking small.
The best businesses we meet are usually the ones with the worst websites. The owner is too busy doing excellent work to sit down and rebuild a homepage, and the tools that would make it easy are priced for companies with a marketing department.
We don’t think good technology should belong exclusively to whoever has the biggest budget. A four-person shop that does careful work should be able to stand next to a national chain online and hold its own.
That’s the whole idea. Everything else here is just how we do it.
No cost. No obligation.
You’ve seen our website. Now let us show you yours.
Two homepage concepts, designed for your actual business, before you spend a dollar. Look at them and decide. That’s the entire offer.
