A sample Restaurant website: Saffron & Smoke

Why this exists

Most small business websites fail in one of three ways

None of them are the owner’s fault.

Built once, then abandoned

A freelancer builds it, gets busy, stops replying. Two years later the phone number is wrong, the menu is from last summer, and nobody can log in to fix it.

A template you have to run yourself

Drag-and-drop builders promise ten minutes and deliver ten hours. You end up paying a monthly fee to maintain something you never wanted to maintain.

Priced like an enterprise project

Agencies quote five figures and a three-month timeline for a site a small business needs live next week. So the owner gives up and sticks with a Facebook page.

Truvexa is the boring middle ground that should have existed all along: professionally built, fairly priced, and actually looked after once it is live.

What we build

Built for the trades where being found locally is the whole game

Every one of these starts from a layout we have already solved for that kind of business — so you get a site shaped around how your customers actually decide, not a blank template.

Restaurants & cafés

Menus that update in seconds, table enquiries straight to WhatsApp, and a Google listing that actually shows your food.

  • Digital menu
  • Table booking
  • Google Maps + reviews

Hotels & homestays

Room galleries, live rates and a direct booking enquiry — so you keep the commission the aggregators were taking.

  • Room pages
  • Availability enquiry
  • Multi-language

Car & bike rentals

Your fleet, your daily rates, your routes — with a booking form that reaches you before the customer walks to the next shop.

  • Fleet showcase
  • Rate cards
  • Route guides

Salons & spas

Service menu, stylist profiles and an appointment request form that fills the quiet hours of your week.

  • Service menu
  • Appointments
  • Offers & gift cards

Banquet halls & venues

Capacity, catering packages and a photo tour that lets a family shortlist you without a site visit.

  • Venue tour
  • Package pricing
  • Enquiry calendar

Photography studios

A portfolio that loads instantly on a phone, plus session enquiries and package pricing in plain language.

  • Fast galleries
  • Package pricing
  • Session booking

Clinics & dental

Treatments, doctor credentials and appointment requests, presented with the seriousness a health decision deserves.

  • Doctor profiles
  • Treatments
  • Appointment requests

Gyms & studios

Class timetables, trainer bios and membership plans, with a trial-class form that converts walk-past traffic.

  • Class schedule
  • Membership plans
  • Free-trial form

Not on the list?

These are just the ones we have built most often. If you run a local business that people find on Google and decide about in thirty seconds, the approach is the same.

Ask about your trade

In every single build

The things other people charge extra for

This list does not change with the plan you pick. It is the floor, not the upsell.

Mobile-first

Designed on a phone screen first, because that is where four out of five of your customers will see it.

Fast by default

We build for a 95+ Lighthouse score. Every extra second of load time costs you roughly 7% of your enquiries.

Google Business Profile

Set up or cleaned up, connected to your site, with the schema markup that helps you surface in Maps.

Local SEO groundwork

Titles, descriptions, structured data, sitemap, and the local keywords your customers actually type.

Enquiries to WhatsApp

Every form lands in your inbox and your WhatsApp, so you can reply from the counter without opening a laptop.

SSL & daily backups

The padlock in the address bar, plus a restorable backup taken every day and kept for 30 days.

Multi-language ready

Add a second or third language whenever you need it. Useful the moment tourists find you.

Accessible & compliant

Readable contrast, keyboard navigation, and the privacy and terms pages that keep you on the right side of the rules.

The work

Sites built to be judged in thirty seconds

That is roughly how long a customer gives you before they go back to the search results. Each of these is built around the one thing that trade needs to get across in that window.

These are demo builds — real, working sites we made to show the standard, not client projects dressed up as case studies. When a client site goes live and we have their permission, it appears here with their name and their numbers on it.

Restaurant Demo build

Saffron & Smoke

A single-page restaurant site built to be read one-handed while someone stands outside deciding where to eat.

Why this layout for a restaurant or café

Someone deciding on the pavement needs three things fast: what you cook, what it costs, and how to hold a table.

Usually built on

Growth $209 + $13/mo

Live in ~7–10 days

See what it costs

This is a real layout running the same components we ship, not a picture of one — resize the window and watch it respond. The site we design for you uses your photographs, your words and your colours, but the structure, the speed and the enquiry flow are exactly what you are looking at.

How it works

Five steps, and you know the price after the second one

No discovery phase, no proposal deck, no chasing for updates.

  1. A 20-minute call

    Free · 20 min

    You tell us what the business does and what you want the site to achieve. No sales script, no obligation. If Truvexa is the wrong fit, we will say so on the call.

  2. A written quote in 24 hours

    Within 24 hours

    A fixed price and a fixed scope, in writing, listing exactly what is included and what is not. Nothing starts until you say yes.

  3. You see it before you pay in full

    3–5 days · 50% deposit

    A real design preview in your browser within 3–5 days. Two rounds of changes are included. The balance is only due once you approve it.

  4. Launch day

    Typically day 7

    Domain, hosting, SSL, Google Business Profile, analytics and search console — all set up in your name and handed to you with the passwords.

  5. We look after it

    Ongoing · cancel anytime

    Updates, backups, security patches, uptime monitoring and content edits. Message us on WhatsApp and it gets changed — usually same day.

Pricing

Starting prices, published

Every project is quoted individually — but you should never have to book a call just to find out whether you can afford someone. These are honest starting points.

What the monthly fee actually pays for

  • Hosting, SSL and uptime monitoring
  • Daily backups kept for 30 days
  • Security and software updates
  • Content edits — prices, hours, photos, menu
  • A monthly traffic and enquiries report
  • A human on WhatsApp when something breaks

Costs we pass through at cost

A domain runs about ₹1,000 ($12) a year and hosting is between free and ₹3,000 ($35) a year depending on what your site needs. You pay those providers directly, in your own name. We do not mark them up and we never hold them.

Prices are starting points for a typical build in that tier. Your quote is fixed in writing before any work begins, and it will not move afterwards.

Our promises

The six things that make this safe to try

Every one of these is in the written agreement, not just on this page.

You own everything

The domain is registered in your name, on your account. The code, the content and the images are yours. We are the builder, never the landlord.

No lock-in, ever

Cancel the care plan whenever you like. We export every file, transfer the accounts, and help your next developer get set up. No exit fee, no hostage situation.

Fixed price, in writing

The quote you approve is the amount you pay. Scope changes are quoted separately and only start once you agree to them. No surprise invoices.

See it before you pay in full

50% to start, and the balance only once you have seen the real design in your browser and said yes to it. Two rounds of changes included.

No markup on anything

Domain, hosting, and any paid service is billed at exactly what it costs, paid by you, directly to the provider. We make money on the work, not on your invoices.

A named lead, and a team behind them

One person owns your project and knows your business. Behind them is a team who also know your site — so nothing stalls because someone is away.

In their words

What owners said afterwards

Every quote below is from a real person who agreed to be named. We would rather show you four honest ones than forty invented ones.

Who you are hiring

Small enough to care. Structured enough to rely on.

We started Truvexa because we kept running into the same thing from different directions: a restaurant with brilliant food and a 4.8 rating on Google losing customers to a worse restaurant down the road — purely because the other one turned up first, looked professional, and could be booked in two taps.

The quotes those owners were getting for a website were absurd. Five figures for something that takes a week, or a cheap template that broke in three months with nobody left to fix it. Both leave the owner stuck.

So we built the boring, honest version of this business: a fixed starting price you know before we begin, a site that loads fast and gets found, and a small monthly fee to keep it updated, backed up and online. Your domain and your code stay in your name. If you ever want to leave, we hand over every file and wish you well.

Working with a studio in India

Working hours overlap with the UK, EU, Middle East, and US East Coast. Replies within 4 working hours, every working day.

  • A named lead on every project

    One person owns your project from the first call to launch and learns how your business actually works. You are never passed between account managers halfway through.

  • But never only one person

    At least two of us know your site and can access it. Holidays, illness and busy weeks are our problem to solve, not a reason your enquiry sits unanswered for a fortnight.

  • One thread, not a ticket queue

    Your WhatsApp thread reaches the people who actually build and maintain your site. No support portal, no reference numbers, no first-line agent reading from a script.

Straight answers

The questions people actually ask

If your question is not here, ask it. A straight answer costs us nothing and tells you a lot about who you would be working with.

Ask something else
  • Because the deal is structured so that you do not have to. You pay half up front and the rest only after you have seen the finished design in your browser. The domain and hosting are registered in your name, so the site is yours the moment it exists. If you walk away at any point, you keep every file. Trust should be earned over a project, not demanded before one.

Start here

Tell us about your business

A short message is enough. You will get a real reply from a real person, usually within four working hours, and a written quote within a day.

Your details are used to reply to this enquiry and nothing else. No mailing list, no reselling, no follow-up sequence.

No obligation. No sales sequence. If Truvexa is the wrong fit for you, we will say so.
