JJ Motors Company · Garage, Thetford

A 5-star garage that takes bookings while the spanners are out.

A busy Thetford garage since 2012, now taking bookings online. Customers type their reg, pick a service and a day with space, and the booking lands in the garage's inbox. Quote requests for tyres, welding and bodywork, MOT reminder emails, workshop videos the garage adds itself, and the whole site in English and Portuguese.

Oyya Body Art website: gold logo on black marble Live client site

Oyya Body Art · Tattoo & piercing lounge, Thetford

From a framed poster to a website people remember.

Her printed poster became a whole brand online: her logo rebuilt in shining gold that turns as you scroll, a steamed-up mirror visitors wipe clear with a finger, booking requests that ping her phone, and a private page where she changes her own prices, photos and text.

  • Stand-out gold logo
  • Bookings to her phone
  • She updates it herself
  • Visitor numbers

What you get

Everything a small business needs online.

01

A website that looks the part

Designed around your business, not a template. Looks great on phones and loads quickly, from a single page to a full site.

02

Bookings & enquiries

Customers book or ask for a quote any time of day, and it lands on your phone. It knows your opening hours, and there's no monthly booking app to pay for.

03

Change it yourself

Update your prices, opening hours, photos and text from your phone in a couple of minutes. No calls, no waiting for anyone.

04

Looked after

Something broken or out of date? On the Nest plan that's our job, not yours. We keep an eye on your site day and night, make the changes for you, and you always get a real person on the phone.

05

Shops & payments

Sell online and take card payments, or keep it simple: order online, collect in store.

06

Found on Google

Set up so Google can find you from day one, your Google Business profile tidied up, and simple visitor numbers (no cookie pop-ups) so you can see what's working.

Our promise

See it before you pay.

We design your homepage first and show it to you. If you don't love it, you walk away and owe nothing. You only pay the deposit once you've said yes to the design.

  • Fixed price. The price we agree is the price you pay. No surprise extras.
  • Pay in 3 if you like. Split any package into 3 monthly payments, at no extra cost.
  • Yours to keep. The website, the web address and the content belong to you. No lock-in.
  • 30 days of free tweaks after you go live.

Why the wren

Weight for weight, a wren sings about ten times louder than a cockerel.

It doesn't get bigger. It gets heard. You don't need a big budget to have the best website on your street. You need one that loads quickly, looks the part, says clearly what you do, and makes it easy for customers to get in touch.

That's the whole studio: a small team that does everything from the first chat to launch day, for a fraction of big-agency prices.

  • 0weeks from first chat to live, typically
  • £0monthly bills for most of the websites we build
  • 0person to talk to, start to finish
  • 0yours to keep: the website, the web address, the content

Behind the scenes

Meet the team.

Two people, two countries, one studio. We both design, build and look after clients, so whoever you talk to is the person doing the work. No account managers, no jargon.

Co-founder · Design, build & clients · Thetford, UK

Luis Paiva

Luis builds software for a living, from factory planning systems that run a production line to the website of a tattoo lounge down the road.

He designs and builds Loudwren projects and looks after clients in the UK. Every site is made by hand for that business, without big-agency prices, and built light so it loads quickly on any phone.

Co-founder · Design, build & clients · Portugal

Valter Campos

Valter is Loudwren's voice in Portugal, and the person you'll work with if your business is there.

He designs and builds Loudwren projects too, starting with getting to know your business: what you sell, who your customers are and what's holding you back online. Same studio, same standards, a friendly face closer to home.

Whoever you work with, you own everything we build: the code, the domain, the content. If you ever want to leave, you leave with all of it.

Good questions

Asked & answered.

What will it cost me every month?

Usually nothing but your web address (around £10 a year). Most sites we build run on free hosting, so there's no monthly bill. If you'd rather never think about it, the Nest plan is £45 a month: we check your site every 5 minutes, send you a monthly report, make up to an hour of changes a month, keep backups, and you get a real person to call. It's optional.

What if I don't like the design?

Then you don't pay. You see a real design of your homepage before you pay anything. If you don't love it, you walk away and owe nothing. The deposit is only due once you've said yes to the design.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes. You can split any package into 3 monthly payments at no extra cost.

Do I own my website?

Yes. The website, the web address and the content are all yours. If you ever want to leave, you take everything with you, no fees.

How long does it take?

A one-page site is about a week. Most business sites are 2–4 weeks from our first chat to going live, depending mostly on how quickly we get your photos and words together.

I already have a website. Can you redo it?

Yes. We rebuild it and move your web address over without your site ever going offline, and we make sure the old pages point to the new ones so you keep your place on Google.

Can I update it myself afterwards?

Yes, if you choose that option (it comes with the Song package): prices, opening hours, photos, text and FAQs, from your phone or laptop. Changes show on your site in about a minute.

Which areas do you cover?

We're based in Thetford and happy to meet in person around Thetford, Bury St Edmunds, Brandon and Mildenhall, Diss, Watton and Attleborough. Everywhere else works just as well over a video call. Valter looks after businesses in Portugal.

Can you build my website in Portuguese too?

Yes. We both speak Portuguese, and we can build your site in English and Portuguese, like the one we made for JJ Motors. Falamos português →
