The South West Guide

Digital & Reach

Grown here. Known further afield.

Websites, social content and stories for the South West's independent restaurants, bars and makers - built by the team behind the site you're reading now.

Online presence from £299You own everything we buildBased in Devon

What we do

Online presence

Fast to load, easy to book or order, unmistakably yours - not a template that could be anywhere.

Built around your menu and your booking or ordering flow, not a page-builder theme.

Social content

Photography, film and posts made where you work - so your feed looks like your place on its best day.

Shot on site, edited by us, ready to post.

Dispatches

Long-form editorial that says why you matter - the same quality of writing behind kitchens all over the world.

Written by people who've worked the pass, not a content mill.

How it works

  1. Call

    Fifteen minutes, no deck, no pressure - tell us what you make and what's not working about your current site or feed.

  2. Scope

    We agree what's actually needed and what it costs before anything starts - no surprise invoices.

  3. Shoot

    We come to you - photography and film shot in your kitchen and your room, not a studio.

  4. Build

    You see drafts as we go and can change anything before it goes live.

  5. Launch

    We agree a realistic delivery date at the call and hold to it - ask us for a timeline specific to your project.

Questions worth answering upfront

Which package do I need?

Most independents starting out want Starter. If you're taking bookings or orders online, or you've outgrown a single page, that's Growth. If you're running multiple sites or need real custom development, that's Scale - talk to us and we'll tell you honestly which one fits.

Do I own the site afterwards?

Yes. It's built on your own domain and hosting, not locked into an account only we control.

What if I stop paying for the monthly content work?

The site keeps running - it was a one-off build, not a subscription to keep it online. The monthly work is just for ongoing photography, film and posts, and you can pause or stop it whenever you like.

Why not just use Wix or a template builder?

You can, and plenty of good places do. The difference is a site built around your menu and your booking flow rather than a generic template, and photography and words made by people who've written about restaurants for a living - not stock.

5 more questions

I already have a website. What happens to it?

We look at what's there first. Sometimes it's worth rebuilding from scratch, sometimes the content is fine and it just needs a faster, better-built home. Either way, nothing changes until you say go.

Who writes the words?

We do, working from a call with you about your food, your place and how you actually talk about it - then you get to change anything before it goes live.

Do I need to be in the photos?

No. Most of what works best for restaurants is the food, the room and the hands doing the work - you're welcome in front of the camera if you want to be, never required.

Can you work with my existing booking system?

Generally yes - we build around what you already use rather than asking you to switch, unless you want to change it anyway.

What if I only want the social content, not a new website?

That's fine. Websites, photography and editorial are separate services - take one or all three.
