Live preview — a different business every few seconds
(01) Recognition

You clicked a small line at the bottom of a site you liked. Fair enough.

We'll build you one, for real, before you spend a cent. You tell us about your business, we put together a working site, and you look at the actual thing on your phone. If it's not right, we change it. If you don't want it, you walk away and it cost you nothing.

  • A real site, not a mockup or a slideshow
  • Built and shown before any payment
  • Yours to keep, edit, and run on your own domain
(02) The problem

Most local-business sites look the same, and customers notice.

You've seen it. The same stock photo of someone smiling at a desk, the same four boxes, a different logo dropped on top. It works, sort of, but it doesn't look like your place, and it doesn't tell anyone why they should come to you instead of the shop down the road. The other worry is trust. Paying a web person up front and hoping for the best is how a lot of owners ended up with a site they were embarrassed to share. We built 450labs to take both of those off the table.

  • A site that actually looks like your place
  • You see the real result before you commit
  • No big invoice for something you haven't looked at yet
(03) Approach

What "built around your business" actually means.

We start from your real brand: your colors, your fonts, your photos, your words. We pick the sections that make sense for your kind of business and put them in an order that helps a visitor decide to call, book, or buy. A vet's site and a padel club's site shouldn't look alike, and ours don't.

(04) What we build

Pick the kind of site that fits your business.

We build each one around you.

01
A one-page site

For a local business or service. The sections that fit you: a clear intro, your services, photos, hours, location, prices, and an easy way to get in touch.

02
A site with a built-in blog

For owners who want to show up on search over time by publishing useful articles through a simple editor.

03
A QR menu for restaurants and cafes

Guests scan at the table and browse your dishes, prices, and photos on their phone. No app to download.

Also available: online shops, including cash on delivery and order-at-the-table. We're extending into bookings and newsletters too.

(05) Control

You edit it yourself. No developer to call.

Once your site is live, you run it. Change your menu, prices, hours, products, and posts from one simple dashboard, and the changes go live straight away. You won't wait on anyone or get charged to fix a typo, and you're never locked into us to keep your own site running.

  • Update your own content, anytime
  • Changes go live straight away
  • No developer to call, and no invoice for a small fix
(06) Process

Four simple steps, and the first three are free.

This is a real build we shape together, not an instant generator, so expect a short back-and-forth before you go live.

01
Tell us about your business.

Your name, logo, a few photos, and whatever you already have. An old site or your socials are plenty. Fill in what you know and we take it from there.

02
We build you a live preview.

A real, working version of your site at a private link, sent to you. No payment, no obligation.

03
We refine it together.

Tell us what to change, however is easiest: a quick note, a voice message, or a marked-up screenshot. We make the changes and the link stays live the whole time.

04
You go live on your own domain.

When you're happy, we point your domain at the site, set up secure HTTPS, and handle the hosting. The domain stays yours.

(07) Trust

We keep the sites lean and the promises honest.

Everything here is how we actually build.

  • Custom-built around your brand, from your own colors and photos
  • Fast and light on phones, where most of your customers are
  • Set up to be found, with proper titles and clean previews when someone shares you
  • Privacy, terms, and the cookie notice handled as part of the build
  • Hosted on your own domain with secure HTTPS, and your domain stays yours
  • Light on your visitors, with privacy-respecting maps and analytics
(08) Work

The best proof is your own preview.

So that's where we point most people first. If you'd like to see live examples for a business like yours before you start, ask and we'll send a few. We'd rather show you the real thing than a wall of logos.
