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

One light on. It's this one.

Hand-built websites and quiet automation for UK trades. The storm's passing. Come in.

Inside the doorway, warm light

Mind the step. Welcome in.

It's warmer in here. Kettle's not long boiled. Everything on the bench is something I can build for you — 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. Take one station or take the bench.

Station 01

Get Found

Tempest Local

Google Business Profile, maps presence and reviews — sorted, so the person searching at 11pm finds you, not the bloke three villages over.

Station 02

Get Trusted

Website Design & Care

A hand-built site that makes you look like the expert you are — then kept fast, secure and current. Websites since 2004, none of them off a shelf.

Station 03

Get The Call

Tempest AI

Enquiries answered the moment they arrive, day or night, and the admin quietly done in the background — so you're on the tools, not the keyboard.

Station 04 ★

Get Paid

Quote follow-up & invoice collection

Every quote politely chased. Every invoice followed to the end. The other three ask you to spend money to maybe win work. This one goes after money that is already yours.

Scene Three · The wall of work

Hung, lit, and live.

Three real sites for three real jobs — every one built by hand, every one live on the web right now. Click through and inspect the workmanship.

Scene Four · The counter

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.

— Darren Emery, Oxfordshire
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 Paid.

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.

The Tempest Media shopfront at night, its light still on
— the bell rings again as you leave —

The light stays on.Come back when you're ready.

No forms, no funnels. One email address, read by the person who'll do the work.
