Tempest Media — a lit shopfront on a wet Oxfordshire street at night
Oxfordshire · After hours

Get found first. Get the call.

I keep UK Trades top of local search — and hand-build the Website that turns those finds into booked work. One light on. It's this one. The Storm's passing. Come in.

Inside the doorway, warm light

Hand built, not bought.

Mind the step — it's warmer in here. Every Website I build does four jobs: gets you Found, gets you Trusted, gets you the Call, and gets you Paid. Built by hand by Darren — a Senior Project Instrument Engineer & Technical Authority in Oxfordshire with 40+ years of experience, doing HTML since 1995. No templates, nothing you don't need — and I'll tell you straight if you don't need it.

Scene Two · The workbench

Four stations. One pair of hands.

In the order your customer meets you — they find you, they trust you, they call you, and you get paid. Getting found is where the phone actually rings, so that's where I'd start. Take one station or take the bench.

Station 01 ★

Get Found

Local visibility · monthly

Eight in ten customers search before they hire, and most of the calls come from the top three map results. Most trades claim their Google profile, add a number and leave it there — which is exactly why the bloke three villages over sits above them. I keep yours ranking: right category, live photos, real reviews, every month.

Station 02

Get Trusted

Hand-built Website · build + care

Being found is only half of it — they still have to choose you. A hand-built Website that makes you look like the expert you are, then kept fast, secure and current. Anyone can generate a site in minutes now. Nobody else puts their name to yours.

Station 03

Get The Call

Set up once · yours to keep

Enquiries answered the moment they land, day or night — automatically. I set it up, test it, and hand you the keys. No monthly tie, and no waiting on me.

Station 04

Get Paid

Set up once · yours to keep

Every quote politely chased, every invoice followed to the end — running quietly in your system, not mine. I build it, you own it. It goes after money that is already yours.

Not sure which you need? Start with a Tempest MOT — a fixed-price look at your Website and your local visibility, and a straight written answer on why the phone isn't ringing, and what I'd fix first. No obligation to take anything else. Email Darren →

The bloke behind the counter.

Forty years an engineer.

I started as an apprentice Instrument Artificer in 1983 and spent four decades keeping serious industrial systems measured, calibrated and honest. M.Sc. on the wall, kettle by the bench.

I've built Websites since 2004, the same way: properly, by hand, with the working shown. No page builders, no templates with someone else's fingerprints on them, no agency layer between you and the person doing the job.

You get me. That's the whole company.

Can you guarantee me Top 3 on Google Maps?

No — and be very wary of anyone who does. Google decides the rankings, not me. What I can do is make sure your profile, your site and your reviews give you the best possible shot, and tell you honestly where you stand.

Will you chase me if I enquire?

No. I'm a shop with the light on — not a sales team. You'll get a straight answer to your question. If you want to come back, the light will still be on.

What if I only want one of the four?

Then you take one. The bench isn't a package. Most people start with whichever one is costing them money right now — and more often than not, that's Get Found, because that's the one that makes the phone ring.

Do you build it, or do you farm it out?

I build it. Hand built, not bought — the same phrase is painted on the window, for a reason.

What does it cost?

It depends what you actually need — which is a conversation, not a price list. Tell me what's bothering you and you'll get a straight figure, what it includes, and what I'd skip. Sometimes the honest answer is "don't spend the money".

A painted heaven — angels among golden clouds, light breaking through
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in Heaven.”
