A good website earns its keep.
For a local business your site is the first thing most customers meet, and it works harder than anything else you own: open around the clock, earning while you sleep. Here is the job it should be doing for you, every day.
- Leads
It turns lookers into enquiries
A site built to convert puts the next step right in front of people: call, book, message. Every enquiry lands straight in your inbox, ready to follow up.
- Trust
You are judged before you say a word
People decide whether you are any good from your website, long before they ever call. A fast, sharp site earns that call. 53% of visitors leave a page that takes more than three seconds to load (Google), and you never hear from the ones who go.
- Found
The people already looking for you find you
Most local buying starts with a search on a phone. 76%of people who search for something nearby visit a business within a day (Google). Show up, load fast, and that visit is yours, not a competitor's.
- Your time
It runs without eating your week
You stay on the tools, not wrestling a website builder. I design it, build it and look after it for you, and it is live in days, not months.
Like what you see? Let's talk about yours.
The opposite of an agency.
Most local businesses get burned by agencies or settle for a template. MH Studio fills the gap: studio-grade work, built by one person, who you can actually reach.
An account manager, a sales team, and a junior building your site
One person designs and builds it. The same person you talk to.
A theme thousands of other businesses are also using
Drawn from scratch around your business. Never a template.
Three months, endless meetings, a surprise invoice
Live in days, a fixed price agreed up front
Handed a login and left to fight the tech yourself
Looked after every month. You never have to touch the code.
The person building it.
I'm Miller Hughes, founder of MH Studio. I build every site here myself — the design, the code, and the monthly care after launch. No account managers, no handing your project to a junior. You talk to the person doing the work.
I study Mathematics and Machine Learning at Loughborough University, and that is the discipline behind the work: I strip a problem to its structure before I build, and I sweat the details most people skip. Modern tooling lets me move fast and hold a high standard — but the judgement and the care are mine, and that is the part worth paying for.
— Miller
From first call to live in about a week.
- 01Day 1
A call, then a plan
We talk for 20 minutes about your business and what the site needs to do. You get a fixed price and a clear plan.
- 02Days 2–3
I design the first draft
I draw your site from scratch and send you a real, clickable draft. You react, I refine. Your taste leads.
- 03Days 3–5
Built properly
I build it to a high standard: fast, responsive, and easy for customers to use. Content and forms wired in.
- 04Launch
We launch it together
We put it live together. From there I host it and keep it running: updates, fixes and steady improvements, so you never touch the tech. See the hosting options below.
One build. Then it's yours.
No retainers you cannot read, no surprise invoices. You pay once to build the site, you own it outright, then choose how it is kept running.
Your whole site, designed and built from scratch, and yours to keep, code and all.
- Designed around your business, never a template
- Built, wired up and tested, live in days
- One fixed price, agreed before we start
- Yours outright: the code, the content, the domain
After launch, two ways to run it.
The site is yours either way. This is only about who keeps it running once it is live.
Take the code and run it yourself. No lock-in, no recurring fees. Suits developers or technical founders.
- Complete source code, yours to keep and modify
- Deployment guide, modern stack (Next.js / React, deploys to Vercel)
- 14 days of post-launch support for handover questions
You handle hosting, domain and future updates.
We launch, then I keep it running: hosting, updates and a real person on top of it. One message and it is done.
- Hosting, SSL and backups handled
- Up to 10 small updates a month
- Monthly check: speed, security scan, broken links
- A real person who replies, not a ticket queue
- Cancel any time, you keep the code and domain
Bigger or more complex? The build scales with the work. You will get one clear quote before anything starts.
First site, first referral.
Building your site at no cost — if you refer a paying client later, I knock £249 off theirs too. Start here, help them start, both win.
Ready to talk numbers? Email me and I will reply the same day.
Built to be found, by Google and by AI.
A beautiful site nobody finds is a poster left in a drawer. So every build is made to show up where your customers already look, and to be picked by the AI tools they now ask. It is part of the build, not an add-on, and there is no jargon for you to learn.
Fast, clean foundations
Google and AI both favour sites they can read quickly. Yours is built fast, mobile-first, and structured cleanly under the hood so search engines can make sense of it.
Found on your doorstep
Your Google Business Profile, map pin and location details set up properly, so you appear when someone nearby searches for what you do.
The words your customers use
Pages written around what people actually type, with clean titles and headings, so you rank for the searches that bring real work, not vanity traffic.
Ready for AI answers (AEO)
AEO means answer-engine optimisation: being picked by AI assistants like ChatGPT and Google's AI overviews. Your site is structured so they can read it and recommend you by name when someone asks for a business like yours.
Kept climbing
Search never sits still. On the care plan I keep watch: fresh content, fixes and steady improvements, so your ranking holds and grows.
Harbour & Vine — Coffee & Brunch
Book a table or order ahead. Open 8am, seven days, on the harbour front.
“Where can I get brunch near me?”
Harbour & Vine is a local favourite for coffee and weekend brunch on the harbour front. You can book a table straight from their site.
The questions every owner asks.
Straight answers. Anything else, just email me. I reply myself.
Every site is priced per project and scales with the work. You get one fixed price agreed before anything starts. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices. Tell me what you need and I will give you a clear number.
Most sites go live in about a week from our first call. Bigger builds take longer, but you'll always know the timeline up front.
No. Tell me about your business and I will write the copy with you. If you have content and photos ready, even better. We will use them.
You can, but you do not have to. The care plan means I make your changes for you, usually same day. No wrestling with a clunky editor.
Completely. The site, the code and the content are yours from day one. If you ever leave the care plan, you take everything with you.
If it's slow, hard to use on a phone, or not bringing enquiries in, yes. Send me the link and I'll tell you honestly whether a rebuild is worth it.
Let's build you a site that does the work.
Tell me what your business does and what your site currently costs you. I will reply myself, usually the same day, with a straight answer.
No forms. No sales call ambush. A straight reply from a real person.
