Independent studio · remote-friendly worldwide

Websites and tools that bring in more work.

Especially suited to garages, local trades, and stock-based service businesses — and just as useful for small businesses like them — who need more enquiries, fewer repeat phone calls, and less admin chased through spreadsheets and group chats.

Who this is especially built for

If this sounds like your business, we already understand it.

These four types of business come up most in our work — the problems repeat, and so do the fixes. Still a good fit if you're not one of these — the same approach applies to any hands-on small business.

Garages & car services

Bookings taken by phone get missed the moment someone's under a car.

Local trades

No website of your own — just one listing on a directory full of competitors.

Stock-based businesses

Stock levels tracked across spreadsheets that are never quite in sync.

Service businesses

Job requests and schedules handled over group chat messages that get missed.

Why SETUPIXEL

Built for businesses that want it done properly, once.

No jargon, no bloated retainers, no disappearing after launch. Just a working website or tool, delivered the way it was scoped.

One person, one point of contact

You work directly with the person building your site — no account managers, no handoffs between departments, no messages lost in the shuffle.

Built in weeks, not months

Fixed scope and a focused build process mean most websites are live within 2–4 weeks, and web apps within 4–8, agreed upfront.

Yours to run afterwards

Every site is handed over with the ability to edit it yourself. No agency lock-in, no platform you can't leave if you want to move on.

Fixed pricing, no surprises

You get a clear price before work starts. If scope changes, you'll know about it and agree to it — never an invoice that doesn't match expectations.

Packages

Automotive / garage

Ridgeway Motors

Independent car garage, 3 mechanics

The problem

Ridgeway took all bookings by phone, which meant missed calls during busy repair jobs turned into missed bookings — and no way to know which slots were free.

What we built

A new website with a live booking chatbot: customers describe the job, pick a slot, and get a confirmation automatically. Bookings land in a shared calendar the team checks each morning.

Result

Missed-call bookings recovered; front desk spends less time on the phone during busy periods.

Trades / electrical

Marsh & Coyle Electrical

Local electrical contractor, small team

The problem

No website at all — new work came entirely from word of mouth and a listing on a trades directory, with no way to stand out from competitors on the same page.

What we built

A straightforward, trust-building website covering services, certifications and past work, with a quote-request form that captures enough detail to price a job before the first call.

Result

A credible web presence independent of directory listings, with quote requests arriving pre-scoped.

Warehouse / distribution

Halden Supplies

Regional wholesale warehouse

The problem

Stock levels were tracked across three spreadsheets that were rarely in sync, leading to orders being taken for stock that wasn't actually available.

What we built

An internal dashboard giving warehouse staff and sales a single live view of stock, incoming deliveries and low-stock alerts, replacing the spreadsheets entirely.

Result

Stock discrepancies dropped sharply; sales staff can confirm availability in seconds instead of calling the warehouse.
