What we help you decide

  • Web strategy

    Where your customers are, and the simplest way to reach and convert them.

  • Tech choices

    Which platform and tools, and what they'll cost to run.

  • AI & automation

    Where an AI agent or MCP server saves real time, and where it doesn't.

  • Site & SEO review

    What's working on your current site, and what's quietly costing you.

  • Team & outsourcing

    What to keep in-house and what to hand to a team like ours.

  • A roadmap

    Now, next and later, with rough costs, on one page.

A website consultation with the people who build

Plenty of consultants have opinions about websites. We build them every week, from small business sites to web apps and AI tools, and we've done it since 2003. So the advice is practical: what it takes to build, what it costs to run, and what usually goes wrong.

A consultation is a good fit before a redesign, before you hire a developer or agency, when a project has stalled, or when you're not sure your current site is pulling its weight.

Web strategy for small business, on one page

We start with your business, not with technology: who your customers are, how they find you today, and what you want the website to do, whether that's calls, bookings, sales or sign-ups. Then we review your current site, your tools and a few competitors.

You leave with a one-page roadmap: what to do now, next and later, with rough costs and the tools we'd use. It's written in plain English, so you can share it with a partner, your team or another developer.

Where AI actually helps

We build AI agents, chat assistants and MCP servers ourselves, including Zia, the assistant on our own quote page. That means we can tell you honestly where AI will save your team time, where it would only add cost and risk, and what a sensible first step looks like.

  • Practical advice from people who build
  • A one-page roadmap you keep
  • No obligation to build with us

Consultation questions

What happens in a website consultation?

We talk through your business and goals, review your current site and tools, and give you a one-page plan: what to do now, next and later, with rough costs.

Do I have to build with you afterwards?

No. The roadmap is yours to use with us, another team or on your own.

Can you help with AI and automation?

Yes. We build AI agents and MCP servers ourselves, so we can tell you where they pay off and where they don't.

Who is a consultation for?

Small business owners and founders who want a clear plan before spending on a website, app, store or AI project, or whose current project has stalled.

What should I prepare before a consultation?

Nothing formal. It helps to know what you want the website to do for your business, a rough budget range, and any sites you like or competitors you watch.

How do I book one?

Tell Zia what you need on the Get a quote page, or email maida@zipsitemail.com, and we'll set up a time to talk.
