01 · 1-TO-1 CREATIVE SESSION

Ninety minutes with Marc. Leave with a plan.

Bring the thing that's stuck: a tired brand, a website that doesn't sell, a campaign idea, a product launch. We work through it together and sketch the answer live, with real mock-ups made while you're in the room.

  • In person in Derry, or on video
  • Ideas mocked up there and then, not "we'll send something next week"
  • A one-page plan in your inbox the same day
  • The full fee comes off any build booked within 60 days

Events

Over 20 years of putting on events people turn up for.

Before websites and growth systems, Marc spent more than two decades in event management and marketing: filling venues, working with artists, YouTubers and their teams, and getting brands in front of a crowd. It's the same job as marketing a business, just louder.

Questions

Before you book.

Do I need the session before an audit or a website?

No. Start wherever suits you. The session is the quickest way to talk a problem through; the audit is the best way to see where you stand. Both come off the price of a build.

What is the cheapest way to start?

The Get Found Starter at £295: your Google profile sorted and a one-page website, with our £50 a month care plan for the first year. If you just want advice, the 90-minute session is £195. Both come off a bigger website later.

Do you work outside Derry?

Yes. Most clients are in Derry, Donegal and the North West, on both sides of the border, and we bill in pounds or euro. Sessions work just as well on video.

Who owns the website?

You do. The domain is in your name from day one. If you pay monthly, the site is handed over in full with the final payment.

Can I pay for a website monthly?

Yes. Pay 25% when you sign up, then the rest in 11 equal monthly payments, with no interest and no fees. The site is handed over in full with the final payment.

What's in the care plan?

Hosting, security, backups, updates and up to 30 minutes of small changes every month, for £50 a month. It comes with every new site for the first year; after that you can keep it or move the site wherever you like.

Is ad spend included in the managed system?

No. The monthly price is our fee. Your ad budget is paid straight to Meta or Google from your own account, so you see every penny and it never eats into the work. We'll recommend a budget that suits your area and goals.

Is there a contract on the managed system?

Three months to start, so there's time to show results, then monthly.
