# Portfolio - websites by Nerdsharks > 37 live showcase websites, each designed from a blank page for its kind of business. - Source: https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio - Publisher: Nerdsharks (Exeter, Devon, UK) - Updated: 2026-09-27 - **Bramley & Son Plumbing & Heating** - A two-van plumbing and heating firm that gets most of its work from emergency call-outs but makes most of its money from bathroom installs. The site has to serve a panicking customer on a phone and a couple planning a £9,000 bathroom, without either getting in the other’s way. (https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio/bramley-and-son-plumbing.md) - **Ironclad Barbers** - A three-chair barbershop that currently runs entirely from a social profile, loses bookings to the phone going unanswered mid-cut, and cannot be found by anyone searching for a barber nearby. (https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio/ironclad-barbers.md) - **Saltbox Kitchen** - A forty-cover neighbourhood restaurant whose menu currently lives in a PDF that nobody can read on a phone, and whose booking link is three taps deep in a navigation menu. (https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio/saltbox-kitchen.md) - **Ashcroft Dental Practice** - A mixed NHS and private practice losing registration enquiries because nobody can tell from the website whether it is taking NHS patients, and losing private treatment enquiries because no prices are published anywhere. (https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio/ashcroft-dental.md) - **Voltway Electrical** - An electrical contractor doing domestic fault work and landlord compliance testing, whose website blends both into one undifferentiated service list so neither audience can tell it is for them. (https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio/voltway-electrical.md) - **Forge Strength Club** - An independent strength gym competing with budget chains, hiding its membership price behind an enquiry form, and publishing its class timetable as a downloadable image. (https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio/forge-strength-club.md) - **Halewood Build** - A building firm doing extensions and loft conversions whose finished-work photography is excellent and is currently displayed in a cramped six-thumbnail grid at the bottom of the homepage. (https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio/halewood-build.md) - **Lumen Hair Studio** - A five-stylist salon where customers book by stylist but the website presents the salon as one undifferentiated entity, and colour pricing is a single unexplained "from" figure. (https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio/lumen-hair-studio.md) - **Carter Lane Garage** - An independent garage and MOT centre losing bookings because the phone rings out while everyone is under a car, and publishing no prices at all in a trade defined by suspicion about pricing. (https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio/carter-lane-garage.md) - **Fern & Slate Landscapes** - A landscaping business doing both five-figure garden builds and monthly maintenance rounds, with one website, one call to action, and photographs taken the week each job finished. (https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio/fern-and-slate-landscapes.md) - **Brightwell Cleaning** - A domestic and commercial cleaning company competing in a market where every competitor hides pricing behind "contact us for a quote" and every website uses the same stock photograph. (https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio/brightwell-cleaning.md) - **Penrose Accounting** - An accountancy practice whose website is indistinguishable from every other practice in the city: the same proactive-advice language, no prices, and no indication of which kinds of business it actually serves. (https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio/penrose-accounting.md) - **Hallow Field Photography** - A wedding and portrait photographer whose website takes eight seconds to load because every image is a full-resolution JPEG, and whose homepage is an autoplaying slideshow the visitor cannot control. (https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio/hallow-field-photography.md) - **Northgate Heating & Gas** - A two-engineer heating firm in mid Cornwall whose diary is a mix of annual services, winter breakdowns and a handful of boiler replacements a month. The replacements pay the bills, but the current site treats a £2,800 new boiler exactly like a £90 service, so nobody books either online. (https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio/northgate-heating.md) - **Tidewater Kitchens** - A kitchen design and fitting firm with a small showroom and a six-week lead time. Its customers spend months deciding, save photos everywhere, and then choose whoever made the process feel least risky. The current site is a gallery with a phone number and nothing that explains what happens between "hello" and a finished kitchen. (https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio/tidewater-kitchens.md) - **True Level Plastering & Rendering** - A plasterer and his labourer doing skims, re-plasters, ceilings and external render around Somerset. The work is mostly booked two to four weeks out, and most enquiries currently arrive as vague texts with no room size and no photo, which means two or three rounds of messages before anyone gets a price. (https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio/true-level-plastering.md) - **Oakline Tree Surgery** - A three-person arborist crew in north Devon doing reductions, fells, stump grinding and hedge work, plus storm call-outs every winter. Homeowners worry about cowboys, about damage to the house and about whether they are even allowed to touch the tree, and the current site answers none of it. (https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio/oakline-tree-surgery.md) - **Clearview Window & Gutter Cleaning** - A round-based window cleaner with two vans and a pure-water pole system, working a four-weekly round across Chester. Growth comes from filling streets he already works, and the add-on jobs (gutters, fascias, conservatory roofs) are where the margin is, but the site is one page that just says "window cleaning". (https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio/clearview-window-cleaning.md) - **Keystone Locksmiths** - A two-locksmith business in Cardiff doing emergency lockouts, lock changes after break-ins or house moves, and uPVC door repairs. Its biggest problem is that customers expect to be ripped off, because the search results are full of national call centres that quote one price and charge another. (https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio/keystone-locksmiths.md) - **Swiftmove Removals & Storage** - A family removals firm with three lorries and a containerised storage unit on the edge of Exeter. Customers book six to eight weeks ahead, usually before their completion date is even fixed, and the firm loses jobs because its site asks for a phone call during the working day when buyers are at work. (https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio/swiftmove-removals.md) - **Muddy Paws Grooming** - A two-groomer salon in Newton Abbot, booked up three weeks ahead, taking bookings by Facebook message and phone while holding a pair of scissors. Owners want to know the price for their breed and whether their nervous rescue will be all right, and they currently have to ask both questions by message. (https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio/muddy-paws-grooming.md) - **Motion Physiotherapy Clinic** - A private physiotherapy clinic with four physiotherapists and a small rehab gym, seeing a mix of back and neck pain, running injuries and post-operative rehab. Most patients self-refer after waiting for an NHS appointment, and many are funded by health insurance, but the site does not say whether it accepts their insurer or what an appointment costs. (https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio/motion-physio.md) - **The Old Forge Inn** - A freehouse on the edge of Dartmoor with a busy food trade, four letting rooms and a bar full of walkers and dogs. Room bookings go mostly through third-party sites that take a large commission, food bookings come by phone during service, and the menu on the website is last summer’s. (https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio/the-old-forge-inn.md) - **Crumb & Crust Bakery** - An independent sourdough and pastry bakery with a shop on the high street, a weekend queue and a small celebration-cake order book. It sells out of the popular bakes by eleven, disappoints late customers every Saturday, and takes cake orders on scraps of paper at the till. (https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio/crumb-and-crust-bakery.md) - **Petal & Stem Florist** - An independent florist with a shop, a local delivery van and three quite different kinds of work: same-day bouquets, funeral tributes and weddings. Online relay networks take a cut of the same-day trade, and the site treats a grieving family and a bride planning eighteen months ahead exactly the same. (https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio/petal-and-stem-florist.md) - **Harbourlight Guest House** - A six-room guest house above the harbour in St Ives, run by a couple who also cook breakfast. Most bookings come through large booking sites that take a significant commission, and guests arrive not knowing about the steep lane, the lack of on-site parking or the two-night summer minimum. (https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio/harbourlight-guest-house.md) - **Ink & Anchor Tattoo** - A custom tattoo studio with three resident artists working in traditional, blackwork and fine-line styles. Enquiries arrive as Instagram DMs with no size, no placement and no budget, each artist spends hours replying, and walk-ins keep asking for flash on days when nobody has space. (https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio/ink-and-anchor-tattoo.md) - **Bloom Street Café** - A small iced-drinks and coffee bar on Gandy Street in Exeter, run by two sisters who started with a matcha cart at the Saturday market. Most of their trade is students and office workers who decide what to drink while walking past, so the site has one job: make the four signature iced drinks look irresistible on a phone, show the price straight away, and get people ordering ahead instead of queueing out of the door at lunchtime. (https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio/bloom-street-cafe.md) - **Brightfield Solar** - A small solar and battery installer in Exeter, selling into a market full of lead-generation sites, doorstep pressure and "up to 90% savings" claims. Homeowners arrive sceptical. They want to know what a system on their roof would actually generate in Devon weather, what it costs, and who turns up to fit it. (https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio/brightfield-solar.md) - **Ridgeline Roofing** - A family roofing firm in Exeter covering slate and tile repairs, re-roofs, flat roofs and chimney work. Roofing is the trade people trust least: nobody can see what was done up there. After a storm, homeowners are hit by cold callers. The site has to feel established, show proof of the work itself, and make booking a check easy. (https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio/ridgeline-roofing.md) - **Glossworks Valeting** - A two-van mobile valeting and detailing business covering Exeter and fifteen miles around it. Almost all of its work came through a social media page that showed great photos but no prices, no packages and no way to book, so every enquiry began with the same three questions in the direct messages and many drifted off before a date was agreed. (https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio/glossworks-valeting.md) - **Lacquer Lab** - A two-chair nail studio off Gandy Street in Exeter, known for chrome, aura and hand-painted art. Bookings came through direct messages on a photo-sharing app, where every conversation started with "how much for this?" and a screenshot. No-shows cost the studio around six appointments a month because there was no deposit and no written policy. (https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio/lacquer-lab-nails.md) - **Stillwater Yoga** - A small, independent yoga studio in St Thomas, Exeter, with fourteen mats, two teachers and a loyal crowd of regulars. Most new students arrive nervous: they think they are not flexible enough, not fit enough, or that everyone else will know what they are doing. The site has to lower that barrier, show the week's timetable plainly, and make booking a first class feel like the easiest thing in the world. (https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio/stillwater-yoga.md) - **Maren Interiors** - A two-person interior design studio in Exeter that designs whole rooms and whole houses across Devon: period homes, barn conversions and new-build extensions that need to feel lived in. Most enquiries come from Instagram, then stall on a website that looks like a template. The site has to feel like walking into one of their rooms, show finished projects properly and be clear about fees before anyone picks up the phone. (https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio/maren-interiors.md) - **Kinetic PT** - A private personal training studio on the edge of Exeter, run by two coaches who take no more than forty clients between them. Most of their enquiries come from Instagram, and a link-in-bio page with a booking form was not turning followers into consultations. They needed a site with the same energy as their training: the programmes, the prices and the free consultation all on one page, and fast on a phone in a changing room. (https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio/kinetic-pt.md) - **Harlow & Vane** - An independent estate agent in Exeter selling period and country homes across the city, the Exe estuary villages and East Devon. They compete with national portals and online agents on trust rather than fees, so the site has to make a seller feel their house will be presented beautifully, and make a buyer believe this is where the best local homes appear first. (https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio/harlow-and-vane.md) - **Planform Architects** - A four-person residential practice in Exeter designing new houses, barn conversions and extensions across Devon, often on sloping, rural or conservation-area sites. Their old site was a slideshow of photographs with no fees and no explanation of how a project runs, so most enquiries were either too small or arrived after the client had already bought a difficult plot. They wanted a site that shows how they think, sets out the stages and fees plainly, and gets people to call before they buy the land. (https://nerdsharks.com/portfolio/planform-architects.md)
