Websites & digital tools for working businesses

I bring websites back from the dead.

I'm Sam. I take the site that's been quietly costing you work for a decade and rebuild it to pull traffic from Google and the AI assistants, turn that traffic into leads worth having, and land them in a system that helps run your desk: bookings, quotes, job tracking, and a performance page that proves it's working. I build it first, and you only pay if you want it. No mockups, no deposits, no flannel.

AI assistants answer from whichever website explains the business best. Right now, that's probably not yours.

The problem

Great at the job. Invisible online.

Most firms I look at have the same three problems. None of them are the owner's fault. It's what happens when a website gets built once and left for a decade.

First impressions

Buyers check the website before they ring. A dated one tells them to pick one of the other two firms they're comparing you against.

After hours

If the only way in is a phone number, every evening and weekend enquiry goes to whoever answers online.

The new search

AI assistants answer from whatever they can read. Old site, old facts. They're recommending a ten-year-old version of your business , or a competitor.

How it works

I build it first. You only pay if you want it.

No sales patter, no six-week discovery phase. We talk, I do the homework, and the next thing you see is your finished website, working, on your phone.

We talk

Straight conversation, no pitch

You tell me about the business. What work you want more of, what the phone rings about, what winds you up about the current site. Half an hour, no obligation, no jargon.

I dig

The full sweep, evidence first

Companies House, your old sites, your real story and your own photos. What people round your way actually search for, what every local rival ranks for, who really controls your domains, and what the AI assistants say about you today , word for word. Written up so you can see exactly what I found.

I build

Your new setup, finished in days

The site in your own colours and your real story, structured so Google and AI assistants quote you as the answer. Behind it, the working tools: booking, quotes, job tracking. Not wireframes or mockups. Finished, clickable, on your phone.

You decide

You decide

Click through it. Show it to anyone, including your current web company. Like it, and it's live on your domain inside two weeks. Don't, and it's cost you nothing.

Want the sweep started on yours? Drop your web address in. That's it: no form, no call booking. I take a look and get in touch through your site.

Examples

Have a click through one yourself.

These are demo builds: fictional firms, real everything else. The site, the quote form, the customer portal with jobs, quotes you can haggle, and the paperwork. Sign in with the demo login and have a poke round. Your build works the same way, in your livery, for your trade.

Electrical

Hartley Electrical: a Chorley sparky firm. EICRs, fuse boards, EV chargers, and a job book behind the site: enquiries priced from one screen, the week's schedule, and cert renewals chased automatically.

Plumbing & heating

Carter Plumbing & Heating: a Leyland firm. Boiler services, landlord CP12s renewed every 12 months by law, and a job book that chases the renewals so the diary fills itself.

Click through it

Roofing

Ashworth Roofing: a Bamber Bridge firm. Storm damage made safe with the photo report insurers ask for, and an annual healthcheck that fills the diary every autumn.

Click through it

Joinery

Walmsley Joinery: a Croston workshop. Drawings approved before a cut is made, staged payments tracked, and settle-in visits that put you back in front of every customer a year on.

Click through it

Landscaping

Fairclough Landscapes: an Eccleston firm. Plans approved before a spade goes in, and maintenance rounds that renew every spring so next season books itself.

More trades on the bench

Haulage, decorating, cleaning. Same bones, different trade: if yours isn't here yet, the first version of it could be your site.

Who you're dealing with

Just me. That's the point.

Sydex is just me. No account managers, no handovers, no "I'll check with the team". The person who built your site is the person who picks up when something needs changing.

I say it as it is. If your site's fine, I'll tell you and save us both the bother. If it's costing you work, I'll show you exactly where, and the fix will already be built. And I don't miss things: the dead link in your menu, the reviews page that goes nowhere, the site that still says "25 years" when it's been 35. Spotting that kind of detail is the job.

How I do business

In plain English

Everything in writing: findings, costs, decisions. No jargon, no mystery.

In your name

Your domains in your account, on your card. Lock me out any time.

You own it

The site's yours once it's paid for. Written into the agreement.

Every change logged

A private page on your site: visitors, leads, rankings, and what I did, with its reason.

One at a time

One project on my desk. Yours gets my full attention.

The resurrection, start to finish

Brought back to life. Then put to work.

A rebuild that stops at "looks better" is a waste of your money. The site comes back to life so it can do four jobs, in order:

1 · Brought back to life

The dated site rebuilt properly, and the mess behind it sorted: domains rescued from old agencies, half-dead duplicate sites folded in, every old page forwarding so your Google standing carries over. All in your name.

2 · Pulling traffic

Proper technical SEO, structured data, and a six-month search plan already written against real searches and gaps your competitors leave open. Found by Google, quoted by ChatGPT and AI Overviews.

3 · Turning traffic into leads

Not clicks for the sake of it: quote forms that work at midnight, click-to-call, real reviews, and pages that answer the exact questions buyers ask before they ring. Relevant enquiries, ready to price.

4 · Running the job

A job book built for how your work actually flows: every enquiry priced from one screen, the week's schedule, and renewals chased automatically. Business customers get their own login for booking, quotes and paperwork. And a performance page on your own site shows what it's all earning, daily.

Next step

Tell me your trade.

That's enough to start. If I reckon I can win you work, the next thing you'll see is your new website, finished, and free to look at.
