That bothered me enough to start building them.
Walk through any town and you'll pass brilliant businesses — the bakery with a forty-year sourdough starter, the physiotherapist patients drive across the country for, the wine bar locals guard like a secret. Then search for them online and you'll find a broken Facebook page, an outdated PDF menu, or nothing at all.
Meanwhile their mediocre competitors with decent websites get the customers. Not because they're better — because they're findable.
That's the gap I find interesting. You're already great at what you do. The whole job is to let people know.
I'm early. La Réserve is the first site I've built for a real business rather than for practice, and it's live and doing its job. I'd rather say that plainly than pad a portfolio — you can click through and judge the work yourself, which is more useful than anything I could claim about it.
Plain language, always. I won't say "we'll leverage a headless CMS architecture" when I mean "you'll be able to edit your menu yourself." One point of contact — me — and honest advice, including "you don't need to pay for that" when you don't.
It's just me, and that's the point. The person you talk to first is the person building the site; nothing gets handed down a chain. It also means I take on what I can genuinely do well — if something needs a skill I don't have, I'd rather say so than learn it on your budget.
Tell me about your business. I'll reply within one working day with an honest opinion.
