Chapter 02 / 06
The places we love, let down
Our favourite barber on Whiteladies Road. A brilliant café in Stokes Croft. Somewhere as everyday as Long Ashton Library. All let down by the web.
Chapter 03 / 06
A fortune for dated sites
They'd paid a small fortune for websites that looked tired the day they went live — slow, clunky, and near-impossible to find on Google.
Chapter 04 / 06
A bill for every change
And every time they wanted a tiny change — a new photo, updated hours — another invoice landed. It never seemed to end.
Chapter 05 / 06
It made us angry
We'd spent years learning to build exactly this kind of thing, and we knew, hand on heart, we could do it better, fairer, and far more beautiful.

Instead of complaining, we built the honest, affordable, genuinely good web company we wished existed — for the people round the corner.
