welwyn garden city · al7 · al8
a garden city runs on people who look after things. their websites should look after them back.
welwyn garden city was planned, and it shows: the long lawn of parkway, the white town centre, the tree-lined avenues, the hedges that need cutting and the front gardens that need keeping. that design shapes the local economy. this is a town of gardeners, landscapers and tree surgeons, decorators and window cleaners, kitchen and bathroom fitters, cleaners, dog walkers and childminders — the trades that keep well-kept houses well kept — plus the independents along howardsgate, wigmores, stonehills and the parades at woodhall and haldens.
most of those businesses are found the same way: someone in al7 or al8 types 'gardener welwyn garden city' or 'painter and decorator near me' into their phone, gets a handful of names, and picks the one that looks most like a proper business. a facebook page with three photos doesn't win that. neither does a template site that was set up years ago and never touched again.
a good site for a garden city trade does a few specific things. it names the streets and estates you actually cover, so the search matches. it shows before-and-after photos big enough to judge the work — a hedge, a hallway, a patio, not a stock photo. it has a real quote form that works on a phone, and a phone number that dials when tapped. it carries your google reviews on your own domain, in the customer's words. and it's fast, because the person looking is standing in a garden holding a phone with one bar of signal.
i'm ten minutes up the road in hatfield, so i can come and shoot your work if you haven't got photos. you'll see a preview of your new homepage first, free, and only then decide.

your work is the pitch. photos laid out large enough to judge a hedge line or a hallway, not thumbnails in a grid.

name, number, postcode, what needs doing, a photo if they've got one. delivered reliably, not to a spam folder.
