Services

Custom-built websites that grow with you.

It starts with a site built for your business, and the rest plugs in when you need it. Open any of them to see what is in it, who it is for, and what owners ask us first.

WebsitesA site that works, and keeps working.

A custom website designed around how people actually decide to visit you, built to load fast and kept current every month after launch.

Who it is forOwner-operated businesses with no website, or one that has not been touched in years and no longer reflects the quality of the room.

Most small-business sites fail in the same two ways. They are slow, which costs you the visitor before the first image loads. And they ask the visitor to make a decision without giving them a reason, which costs you everything after it.

We start with the one action that matters for your business — a booking, an order, a call, a visit — and build every page to lead there. The site is yours, it is built on the same framework we use for every client, and it does not depend on us to keep running.

The monthly fee is not a maintenance contract in name only. It covers hosting coordination, security and dependency updates, performance monitoring and minor content edits, so the site does not quietly rot the way an unmaintained site does.

Base package

A custom website built, launched and kept working — the foundation every other service plugs into.

  • Custom-designed, mobile-responsive website build
  • Domain, hosting and SSL setup coordination
  • Core content pages built from your copy and branding
  • Ongoing software, security and performance updates
  • Minor monthly content edits and priority support

Questions we get asked

How long does a website take?
Three to four weeks from the day we have your content, which is almost always the thing that sets the pace. If you need it sooner, express launch moves you to the front of the queue and gets you live in about a week.
Do I own the site?
Yes. The site, the domain and the content are yours. If you ever stop working with us, we hand over every credential and the site keeps running — that is the point of building it on standard tooling rather than something proprietary.
What does the monthly fee actually cover?
Hosting and standard infrastructure, SSL, security and dependency updates, uptime and backups, performance monitoring, and minor content edits each month. It is not unlimited content work, a redesign, or a ranking guarantee — those are separate and we will say so before you pay for anything.
Can you keep our existing booking or ordering system?
Almost always, and usually we should. If you already take bookings somewhere your staff know how to use, replacing it adds risk and training for no gain. We build around it.
Social mediaPost consistently, or hand it over.

We teach you to run your own accounts in about an hour a week, with a plan, a calendar and someone telling you what is working. Full takeover, where we shoot, edit, post and reply for you, is on the way.

Who it is forBusinesses whose social pages have gone quiet, or who post when they remember to and cannot tell whether any of it is working.

There is no version of this where posting more is automatically better. The question is whether what you post looks like the business people walk into, and whether it arrives often enough that they remember you exist.

Coaching suits an owner who quite likes posting and needs a plan, a calendar and someone to tell them what is working. Full takeover suits an owner who has tried for a year and knows it is never going to happen.

We are direct about which one you need. Selling full management to someone who would happily post themselves is a good way to lose a client in four months.

Coaching & improvement

You post, we guide. Strategy, training and monthly performance reporting.

  • Initial account and competitor audit
  • Content strategy and posting calendar template
  • Two 30–45 minute coaching calls per month
  • Monthly performance and improvement report
  • Email and chat support between sessions

Full takeoverComing soon

We shoot, edit, post and optimise. Fully managed, and off your plate entirely.

  • Brand audit, voice guide and content strategy build
  • Profile setup and optimisation across all platforms
  • On-site content capture (photo and video) and editing
  • 12–20 posts a month across 2–4 platforms
  • Daily community management and a monthly growth report

Questions we get asked

Which tier do I need?
If you have posted at least a few times in the last month, coaching will probably work and costs a fraction as much. If your last post is from a year ago, coaching will not fix it and full takeover is the honest answer.
Do you shoot the content?
On full takeover, yes — on-site capture is included. On coaching you shoot it, and we show you how to get usable photos on a phone, which is a genuinely learnable skill.
Which platforms?
Two to four, chosen for where your customers actually are. For most local businesses that is Instagram and Facebook, sometimes TikTok, and rarely all of them. Spreading across six platforms is how accounts go quiet.
SEOShow up when someone searches your category and your city.

A technical and local search foundation, then a monthly action list you execute with us coaching. Fully managed SEO is on the way.

Who it is forBusinesses that are hard to find on Google, have inconsistent listings, or rank below competitors who are plainly worse.

Most of SEO for a local business is unglamorous and finite: the site has to be fast and structured properly, your listings have to say the same thing everywhere, and the pages have to answer what people actually type.

Every Candolia website ships with that foundation already in place — correct headings, titles and descriptions, schema, a clean sitemap, and pages built around real search terms. You do not pay extra for the basics to be done properly.

The SEO service is what comes after: the ongoing work of finding opportunities, fixing what slips, and reporting honestly on whether it moved. Nobody can guarantee a ranking, and anyone who does is telling you something they cannot know.

Coaching & reports

We diagnose and teach; you or your team execute the fixes.

  • Baseline technical and on-page SEO audit
  • Keyword and local-search opportunity report
  • Monthly coaching call with a prioritised action list
  • Monthly ranking and traffic report
  • Guidance only — no hands-on implementation

Full managementComing soon

We capture, implement and retain rankings — done for you, every month.

  • Full technical audit, keyword research and site-structure plan
  • On-page optimisation and ongoing content SEO
  • Local listing and citation management
  • Backlink building and technical health monitoring
  • Monthly ranking, traffic and conversion report

Questions we get asked

Do I need this if you build my site?
Not immediately. The full SEO foundation is included in every build, so most clients launch without an SEO retainer and add one later if they are in a competitive category or want to actively push rankings.
How long before I see results?
Local search usually moves in two to four months. Anyone promising results in three weeks is either lucky or lying, and we would rather tell you now than explain it later.
Can you guarantee first place on Google?
No, and neither can anybody else — Google does not sell that and does not publish the algorithm. What we can do is report exactly what changed, what moved, and what we are doing next.
PhotographyYour actual room, your actual food, your actual work.

A recurring shoot that keeps the website looking current, with images edited, optimised and placed on the site for you.

Who it is forBusinesses using stock photography, phone snapshots from three years ago, or images so heavy they slow the site down.

Stock photography is the fastest way to look like every other business in your category. A visitor cannot always say why a site feels generic, but they can feel it, and they leave.

These shoots are short and specific — an hour on site each month, or two hours each quarter. We shoot what the site needs rather than building a portfolio, then edit, compress and place the images ourselves so nothing ends up as a four-megabyte hero that takes six seconds to load.

You get a commercial licence for web and social, so the same images work everywhere else you need them.

Monthly refresh

A recurring shoot every month to keep the website visibly current.

  • Roughly one hour on site, once a month
  • 10–15 edited, web-optimised images
  • Direct upload and placement on the website
  • Commercial usage licence for web and social

Quarterly refresh

A shorter seasonal shoot every three months — lower commitment, still a full refresh batch.

  • Roughly two hours on site, once a quarter
  • 20–25 edited, web-optimised images
  • Seasonal styling and shot-list planning
  • Commercial usage licence for web and social

Questions we get asked

Monthly or quarterly?
Monthly if your offering changes often — a rotating menu, new stock, seasonal work. Quarterly if the room and the product are fairly stable and you want it to look current without the commitment.
Do we need to prepare?
A little. We send a short shot list beforehand and plan around your quiet hours, so it does not disrupt service. On quarterly shoots we also plan seasonal styling in advance.
Can we use the photos elsewhere?
Yes — the commercial licence covers web and social, so the same images can go on your profiles, your listings and your ads.
Branding & merchOne identity, applied properly.

A clean identity system — logo, palette, type and usage rules — and optionally a produced starter run of branded merchandise.

Who it is forBusinesses whose logo exists only as a JPEG someone made years ago, or whose signage, website and packaging do not look related.

Disconnected branding is one of the five things owners tell us about most often, and it is usually not a design problem. It is a files problem: nobody ever had a proper logo suite, so every sign, menu and profile picture was made from whatever was to hand.

The essentials package fixes that — a primary logo and alternates, a palette, a font pairing, a one-page guide, and the source files in every format you will be asked for. It is the foundation the website and every other service builds on.

The bundle adds the full suite, extended guidelines, templates and a produced starter run of merchandise, so you finish with physical pieces rather than a folder of files.

Brand identity essentials

A clean, professional identity system — the visual foundation for the website and everything else.

  • Primary logo plus two alternates (icon, wordmark)
  • Colour palette and font pairing
  • One-page brand style guide
  • Business card design
  • Source files (PNG, SVG, PDF)

Brand + merch bundle

The full identity system, plus a designed and produced starter run of branded merchandise.

  • Everything in essentials, plus a full logo suite of five or more versions
  • Extended brand guidelines covering colour, type and usage rules
  • Social media and email signature templates
  • Design and production coordination for apparel, cards and signage
  • Starter merch run included, for example 25 shirts and 250 cards

Questions we get asked

Do I need branding before a website?
Only if what you have is unusable — no vector logo, no consistent colours. If you have a decent logo and know your colours, we can build the site around what exists and revisit branding later.
What files do I get?
PNG, SVG and PDF of every mark, which covers web, print, embroidery and signage. You own them outright, and we would rather you never have to ask us for a file again.
What merchandise is in the bundle?
A starter run — for example twenty-five shirts and two hundred and fifty business cards — plus design and production coordination for apparel, cards and signage. The exact mix is agreed before production.
