The problem

Your website is probably costing you customers.

Most local businesses we speak to have one of three things: a site that's a decade out of date, a half-built Wix that they don't have time to finish, or no site at all. Each one quietly costs work every single week.

It looks old

If your site looks like it was made in 2014, customers assume the same about your business. First impressions still decide who gets the call.

It's broken on mobile

70% of your customers visit on a phone. If they have to pinch and zoom, they hit the back button and call the next business on the list.

Google can't find you

No proper SEO, no Google Business Profile setup, no local pages. So you sit on page three while a worse competitor takes the calls.

It's a pain to reach you

No WhatsApp button, no instant booking form, just a contact-us page from 2012. So messages slip through the cracks and bookings go elsewhere.

The all-in package

One simple price. Everything sorted.

A complete digital shopfront for your business — designed, built, hosted, optimised and reported on monthly. £99 a month, including VAT. No upfront fees, no minimum term, no notice period.

We start by building you a brand new website around your business and your wishes — your services, your photos, your area, your customers. Then we keep it humming: connecting your Google Business Profile, pulling in your reviews, sending you monthly traffic reports and making changes whenever you need them.

Same business. Two routes. Very different result.

Customer stories

What our customers say.

Real local businesses, real results. We're picky about who we work with — you should be too.

3x more bookings
★★★★★
The new site has completely replaced phone bookings — customers find us on Google, see the reviews, book themselves in. Best money I spend each month.

Honestly didn't believe £99/month could get me a site this good. They handled everything — domain, email, GBP — and it was live before the end of the week.

We went from invisible on Google to ranking on page one within two months. The monthly report actually makes sense — and they tweak the site based on what's working.

The team

Founded by Christoff. Backed by ten.

Christoff Berlage, founder of Cracking Sites
Founder & CEO

Christoff Berlage

A team of ten · UK-based · No outsourcing

Cracking Sites was founded by Christoff to fix one of the most quietly damaging problems British small businesses face — a website that doesn't do them justice. Outdated design, no booking system, no proper Google presence.

With a team of ten experienced designers, developers and digital marketing specialists, we're growing fast — sweeping the country, retiring weak websites and replacing them with modern, fast, converting ones that actually win work.

Add-on · Want more leads?

Let us run your paid ads.

Once your site is live, the fastest way to fill it with bookings is paid advertising. Our team manages Google, Bing and Meta ads — optimising every penny of spend, tracking every conversion, and turning ad budget into actual bookings and revenue.

From £299/month for up to £5k of monthly ad spend. No minimum term. No notice period. Same no-nonsense pricing as everything else we do.

Common questions

Things people usually ask.

Is the £99/month really all in? What about VAT, domain, hosting…?
Yes, properly all in. £99/month includes VAT, hosting, SSL, domain (we'll register it for you or transfer yours), business email, the build itself, monthly reporting and ongoing changes. The only thing that costs extra is paid advertising — which is the optional add-on package below.
What does "no minimum term, no notice period" actually mean?
It means exactly what it says. You can stop your subscription at the end of any month for any reason — no cancellation fees, no exit fees, no notice required. We figure if you're not happy enough to want to stay, we shouldn't be holding you hostage.
What happens if I cancel? Do I keep the website?
You can take your domain with you and we'll hand over your content. The site itself is built on our hosting, so if you cancel we switch it off. We can also work with you to migrate to another host for a one-off fee if you'd prefer. We'd rather you stayed because we keep doing a good job.
How long does it take to go live?
Usually 3–7 working days from when you give us the green light on the mockup. We've done it in 48 hours when needed. The slowest part is normally waiting for you to send us photos and copy — once we have that, we move fast.
Will my website rank on Google?
Every site we build is technically optimised for local SEO out of the box — proper schema, fast loads, mobile-first, sensible page structure, optimised images, sitemaps. Most clients see a noticeable rankings lift within 4–8 weeks. If you want to accelerate that, the paid advertising add-on is the fastest route.
Can I make changes after launch?
Yes — that's included. Need a price changed, a service added, a photo swapped, opening hours updated, a seasonal banner? Email or WhatsApp us and we'll do it. Bigger projects (a whole new section, a major redesign) we'll quote separately, but day-to-day changes are part of the package.
