ExampleExample restaurant site

Biscuit Hour

A made-up Main Street café, built to show what a restaurant gets: a menu people can read on a phone, hours, directions and a tap-to-call button.

Not a real business. Leon made it as an example.

Built around what you do

If people look you up before they call, visit or buy, your site has one job: show them what they came for.

Restaurants and cafés
Your menu, hours and how to find you.
Salons, barbers and studios
Your services, prices and a link to book.
Trades and contractors
Where you work, jobs you’ve done and a way to ask for a quote.
Shops and makers
What you make, your story and where to buy it.
Coaches, tutors and consultants
What you offer, who it’s for and how to get started.
Photographers and creatives
Your work, your packages and an inquiry form.

From first message to live site

  1. Tell Leon about your business

    Message on Instagram or by email with what you do and a link to your Instagram or current site, if you have one.

  2. Leon builds it

    The pages, layout and type are designed around your business, not a template.

  3. You review it

    Look it over on your phone and laptop, and ask for changes before it goes live.

  4. It goes live

    Leon publishes it on your domain, hosts it and keeps it updated while you run your business.

Talk to Leon

Sites By Leon is one person. When something on your site needs changing, you message the person who built it.

  • Instagram

    DM the word SITE to @sites.by.leon with a link to your business. The quickest way to start.

    Message on Instagram
  • Email

    Send a few lines about what you do and where people find you now.

    Email Leon
  • Contact page

    What to include, plus the email address to copy.

    Use the contact page

Designed. Hosted. Looked after.

That’s the whole job. Or make your own from $1 a week.
