North Reading, MA · Available for new work

Websites for the businesses down the street.

I’m Luke Brickley. I build, fix and look after websites for local service businesses — salons, shops, contractors, property managers. No agency in the middle: you talk to the person doing the work.

  • Direct line to me, start to finish
  • Fixed price, quoted after your free review
  • Most sites live in 2–3 weeks

Selected work

Three businesses, three very different problems.

Every one of these is a real site you can open right now. Same approach each time: figure out what a customer needs to do, then get out of their way.

Wine & events · Long Island

Every path on the page ends in a booking.

Andrew’s tastings are private and by appointment — there is no walk-in trade to catch. So the site does two things and stops: it lays out the three formats he runs (wine flights, tasting parties, wine intensives), and it makes booking or calling impossible to miss. The number sits in the nav, in the hero, and tappable at every screen size.

Short-term rentals · NH & FL

Built to make booking direct the easy choice.

Jamie hosts homes in New Hampshire, Maine and Florida, and every booking that comes through a marketplace takes a cut on the way past. The site keeps it simple: Homes, Destinations, About us and Reviews in the nav, a search by destination, dates and guests, and a Check Availability button that emails Jamie directly.

Salon · Reading, MA

Her clients write the marketing.

People tell Hilary she is exceptional constantly — it just lived in texts and DMs where nobody shopping for a stylist could see it. Her site is her own. What I built is the testimonial collection and approval automation: a Share Your Experience button, client submissions, Hilary approving each one from an owner login, and a wall of reviews that keeps growing. It runs on my brickleyautomations.com domain.

What I do

Websites first. Everything that keeps one working, second.

Pick one thing off this list or hand me the whole lot. Most people start with a build or a refresh and keep me on for hosting and small updates.

01

New websites

A site built from nothing — structure, copy layout, design and build. Fast, readable, and yours to keep.

02

Refreshes & rebuilds

You already have a site, it’s just old, slow, or broken on phones. I keep what works and rebuild the rest.

03

Contact & inquiry flow

Forms that actually arrive, click-to-call, quote requests, booking links — routed to the inbox you really check.

04

Local SEO basics

Google Business Profile, page titles, local schema, the map pack groundwork. No jargon, no mystery fees.

05

Reviews & reputation

A simple way to ask happy customers for reviews, and somewhere on the site those reviews are actually seen.

06

Hosting & small updates

Hosting, backups, uptime checks, and the small edits that pile up. You email me, it gets changed.

Pricing

Plain prices. Quoted in writing before I start.

It starts with a free site review. After that you get a fixed quote, and nothing is built until you say yes.

How it goes

Three steps. No discovery phase, no deck.

After the free site review you get one fixed price and a rough timeline, before any work starts.

Step 01

I look at what you have

Free, no obligation. I go through your current site (or lack of one) the way a customer would and write up what’s actually costing you calls.

  • Written review, plain English
  • Fixed price quoted after the review
  • No pitch deck, no pressure

Step 02

I build it

You see it early and often on a real link, not a PDF mockup. Two rounds of changes are baked in — and I don’t nickel-and-dime the small stuff.

  • Live preview link from day one
  • Copy and photos sorted together
  • Typically 2–3 weeks to launch

Step 03

I host it and keep it current

Launch is the easy part. I stay on for hosting, updates, and the edits that come up — new hours, new prices, a new service you added on Tuesday.

  • Hosting, backups, uptime
  • Edits by email, no ticket system
  • Hosting is $15/month or $150/year, with optional plans on top

About

One person, start to finish.

I’m Luke Brickley, and I build, fix and look after websites for local service businesses from North Reading, Massachusetts.

There’s no agency in the middle. I work directly with every client, so you talk to the person doing the work, from the free site review to the live site.

FAQ

Quick answers.

How long does a site take?

Most sites go live in 2–3 weeks. You see a live preview link from day one.

What is the free review?

I go through your current site (or lack of one) the way a customer would and write up, in plain English, what’s costing you calls. It’s free, with no obligation, and it ends with a fixed price quoted before any work starts.

Who owns the site?

You do. The site is built to be yours to keep. Ask me if you have a specific question about your setup.

What does hosting cover?

Hosting, backups, uptime checks, and the small edits that come up, like new hours or a new service. You email me and it gets changed. Every website includes hosting at $15/month or $150/year. Hosting + Updates is optional, at $49/month and adds up to 1 hour of edits a month. See Pricing.

How much does a website cost?

One-time packages run from $400 (Starter) to $1,500 (Growth), and Custom sites start at $2,500. Every website also includes hosting at $15/month or $150/year. After your free site review you get one fixed quote in writing, before any work starts. See Pricing.

How do I get started?

Email me at luke@brickleyautomations.com with your business name and your website, if you have one, and ask for a free site review.

Contact

Free site review. No strings.

Send me your website — or tell me you don’t have one yet — and I’ll go through it and write back with what I’d change and what it would cost. If the answer is “you’re fine, don’t spend the money,” I’ll tell you that too.
