Longshore Studio

Your website should be doing more than sitting there.

I build websites and the systems behind them — so missed calls get answered, questions get handled, and enquiries actually reach you. One person, start to finish, real prices published up front.

Try it

Don't take my word for it — ask it something.

Two of these are the real, working systems I build into client sites. Try to catch them out.

Live right now

The website assistant

This is the real thing, answering from facts I've approved — nothing invented, nothing guessed.

It never guesses a price it isn't sure of — it says so and takes your details instead.

Simulation of the real mechanism

Missed-call rescue

The code behind this is real and already built — this walks through exactly what it does.

0:00 missed Customer calls, no answer
0:04 sent "Hi, it's [Business] — sorry we missed your call. What can we help with?"
0:41 reply "Hi — need a quote for a leaking outdoor tap"
0:42 forwarded Owner notified instantly, marked as a lead

Voice reception (an AI receptionist that answers and books calls directly) is next on the roadmap once this line is live — not built yet, not claimed as live.

Why

A website that only describes your business isn't finished.

Most small-business websites are a brochure: a few pages, a phone number, and then nothing happens until someone calls. Meanwhile the calls you miss, the questions you get asked on repeat, and the enquiries that go quiet overnight are the actual cost.

I build the site and the systems around it — so it answers questions itself, texts back a missed caller before they've hung up on someone else, and gets every enquiry in front of you the same day. Built by one person, in East Lothian, who answers the phone and holds the camera too.

You're up a ladder, mid-job, phone rings. The caller gets a text back in your name before they've had the chance to ring the next name on their list.
It's 9pm on a Sunday and someone's on your site. They ask about pricing, opening hours, whether you take dogs — and get a real answer, not silence until Monday.
You're with a customer and can't check your phone. The next enquiry doesn't wait for you to be free — it's logged, and you see it the moment you're clear.
You come home tired and don't want admin. One monthly report tells you exactly what got rescued and what needs a callback — nothing to dig for.
