Built by people who run home-service businesses.
We are not a generalist agency. We come from running these businesses ourselves, got burned by a bad website, and built our own way out.
We are a Manchester studio that ran a cleaning company before we built websites. The agency site we paid for never brought work in, so we built our own, and it reached page one of Google for local searches. We now build that same site for trades. Established 2020, and a trading name of Revive Business Solutions Ltd, company 12690702.
From cleaning to code
Before we built websites, we ran a cleaning company in Manchester. Like a lot of cleaning businesses, we paid an agency for a website. One of those template builds they stamp out by the hundred, then stop supporting once it is live. It looked fine. It just never ranked, and it never sent us the jobs that mattered.
So we built our own, from scratch, aimed squarely at the work that pays: end of tenancy, deep cleans and move-outs. It reached page one of Google for local searches, and it is still live and running today.
Now we build exactly that for trade and home-service businesses: driveways, tree surgery, fencing, drainage, cleaning. The job of the site is to keep your diary full of the right jobs. Your new site replaces the one you have and goes live on your existing domain, so you keep your name, your history and any links you have earned. One firm per area, so the site that ranks where you work is yours and not your rival's. Ask for a live demo and we will show you the exact site we would build for your business.
How we are different
Three things we hold to, on every build.
We build for one trade at a time
Every site is written for one trade in one area, so it speaks your customers' language from the first line and ranks for the searches that fill a diary.
We build it by hand
Every page is custom-coded, not pulled out of a builder. That keeps it quick to load, easy to find on Google, and free of a monthly platform fee taking a cut of your margin.
We show before you pay
You see a live demo of your site first. Like it and we carry on, and your current site stays up until the day you approve the swap. If not, you owe nothing.
The company behind the work
Hammer & Pixel is the studio. The proof that the approach works is our own sites, starting with the cleaning site in Manchester, still live today and the exact build we make for you. See it on the work page.
Hammer & Pixel is a trading name of Revive Business Solutions Ltd, registered in England and Wales, company number 12690702.
The Hammer & Pixel editorial team
Every page on this site is written by the people who build the sites. There is no outside content agency and no stock copy. If a guide explains how a quote tool filters jobs, or what a canonical URL does, it is written by whoever wires that up on a real client build. When something turns out to be wrong, we change the page.
Hammer & Pixel is a trading name of Revive Business Solutions Ltd, company 12690702, registered in England and Wales and based in Manchester. You can check the register yourself.
We also build and run nine end of tenancy cleaning sites of our own, which is where most of what we know about ranking a local service site comes from: Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Canary Wharf, Clapham, Milton Keynes, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Reading.
