AdvanceSites

Your business,advanced.

I design and build websites and apps for small businesses, and set up the email that goes with them, at a price you can justify.

01First impressions

People look you up before they call.

They find you on a phone, usually in a hurry, often standing outside. Whatever loads in those few seconds is the impression, whether it is fair or not.

  • Made for your business

    The layout, the words and the colours come from what you actually do. Nothing is dropped into a theme someone else is already using.

  • Built for the phone first

    The phone layout gets designed on purpose. It is not the desktop one squeezed down and hoped for.

  • Ends in an enquiry

    Every page has one obvious next step, and it is usually a call.

02Services

What I do

The site, and the app and email around it if you need them. One person for all of it, so nothing falls between two suppliers.

01

Website design

A design drawn for your business, not chosen from a list.

I start from what you do and who you want walking in, then draw the pages around that. You see the design and pull it apart before a line of it gets built.

  • Custom layouts
  • Your colours and type
  • Approved before the build starts
02

Website development

Built by hand on the same stack the big products use.

No page builder, no theme, no plugin stack that breaks when one of them updates. That is why these sites load quickly and stay easy to add to later.

  • Loads fast
  • Code you could hand to anyone
  • Easy to extend
03

Phone-first design

The phone layout is designed, not shrunk.

Most people meet your business on a phone, often standing outside it. That layout gets its own thinking, and I check it on real devices before launch rather than in a browser window.

  • Purpose-built phone layouts
  • Tap targets you can actually hit
  • Checked on real phones
04

SEO foundations

The groundwork search engines need before any ranking work pays off.

Clean markup, real headings, page titles and descriptions, a sitemap, and the business schema that puts your hours and address where Google looks for them. This is the floor, not a ranking promise.

  • Semantic markup and metadata
  • Sitemap and robots rules
  • Local business schema
05

Booking & forms

The part that turns a visitor into a message in your inbox.

Appointments, quote requests, callbacks, orders. Built into the site or wired to whatever you already use, with validation that keeps the junk out and notifications that actually arrive.

  • Appointment booking
  • Quote and enquiry forms
  • Notifications that arrive
06

Apps for iPhone and Android

Your own app on the App Store and Google Play.

For what customers do every week: booking, ordering, loyalty, their account. I design and build the app, write the store listings and take it through Apple's and Google's review. The developer accounts are opened in your name, so the app is yours.

  • iPhone and Android
  • App Store and Google Play listings
  • Published in your name
  • Updates after launch
07

Professional email

An address at your own domain, not a free one.

you@yourbusiness.com reads as a real business before anyone opens the message. I set up the mailboxes on Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, add the SPF, DKIM and DMARC records that keep your mail out of spam folders, and get it working on your phone and computer.

  • Addresses at your own domain
  • SPF, DKIM and DMARC set up
08

Looking after it

Updates, changes, and the small fixes that keep it earning its place.

Sites need maintaining. New prices, a new page, a photo swap, a plugin-free update, a backup that exists. You can do most of it yourself, and I do the rest.

  • Content and price changes
  • Updates and monitoring
  • Backups that exist

If the second one is closer to your site than the first, that is worth a conversation.

Talk about a rebuild
05How it goes

Four steps, no mystery.

You always know what is happening and what is next.

  1. 01

    A call

    What the business does, who you want walking in, and what the site has to make happen.

  2. 02

    A design to approve

    You see it before anything is built, and you say what is wrong with it.

  3. 03

    The build

    The design becomes a real site. Fast, sturdy, and yours to edit.

  4. 04

    Launch

    It goes live on your domain, with the email and the search groundwork sorted.

06About

One person, start to finish.

AdvanceSites is me, Rayan Chenni. I design the site, I build it, and I am the one who answers when something breaks at nine on a Sunday.

The businesses I work with are the ones that keep a street running: a practice, a caterer, a bakery, a gym, a trade. Most of them either have nothing online at all, or have something that has not been touched in years and is quietly losing them the people who checked.

I build in four languages, Arabic included, right to left and properly set. A lot of these businesses serve people who do not read English first, and a site that ignores that is leaving money on the table.

  • You deal with me

    No account manager, no handover, no brief passed to someone you have never met. Whoever designs it builds it, and answers when you email about it.

  • No agency overhead in the price

    There is no office, no sales team and no account layer to carry. The quote covers the work.

  • You can change it yourself

    Prices, hours, menus, photos, new pages. You should not have to wait on me for the small things, so you don't.

07Who I build for

Owner-run businesses.

Different trades, the same job: look like you are worth calling, answer the question, make it easy to get in touch.

  • Restaurants
  • Barbers & salons
  • Medical practices
  • Fitness businesses
  • Contractors
  • Real estate
  • Professional services
  • Local businesses
  • E-commerce
  • Nonprofits

What clients say

Nothing here yet. I would rather leave it empty than write my own reviews — when a client says something worth quoting, it goes here.

09Questions

Questions, answered

If yours is not here, ask. You will get a straight answer.

What does a website cost?

It depends on what the site has to do. A site for a local business usually comes in between $1,000 and $3,000. A store that takes payments, schedules deliveries and tracks stock is more often $3,000 to $6,000. Tell me what you need and you get one fixed number before anything starts, not a range that moves later.

How long does it take?

Most of the wait is not me. It is content and feedback. A straightforward site moves quickly once I have your text and photos; booking systems, online payments and second languages add real time. You get a schedule with the quote.

I already have a website. Is that a problem?

No, rebuilds are most of what I do. Your content, your URLs and whatever search position you have all carry across. The parts that are letting you down get replaced.

Can I update it myself?

Yes, and you should be able to. Prices, hours, menus, photos, new pages: yours. If you would rather not, I do it.

Do I own it?

Yes. The domain, the content and the code are yours, and they stay yours if you ever want to take the site to someone else.

What if I need something unusual?

Say what it is. So far that has meant quotes, payments and delivery scheduling for a caterer; correct sales tax, pickup windows and stock that stops overselling for a bakery; and a practice site in French, English and Arabic with a private admin area behind it.

Can you build an app for the App Store and Google Play?

Yes. I design and build it for iPhone and Android and take it through Apple's and Google's review. Both stores charge for a developer account, and it is opened in your name, so the app belongs to you. If a website would do the job just as well, I will say so before you pay for an app.

Can you set up email at my own domain?

Yes. Addresses like you@yourbusiness.com, on Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, with the records that keep your mail out of spam folders. The provider bills you directly for each mailbox, so the account stays yours.

What happens after it launches?

You have my email. Nothing about the site depends on me being available, but I am.
