Domain Registration
Charlie finds and registers the right domain for your business — yourbusiness.co.uk or .com. If you already own one, he'll transfer or connect it. DNS, nameservers, and all the technical bits are handled for you.
Domain, email, logo, Google Business, branding — it all comes as part of the package. You bring the business, Charlie sorts the rest.
You don't need a domain, a logo, an email address, or a clue about hosting. When you work with HowdyPixel, Charlie sets up every piece of your digital presence from scratch — so by the time your trade website or bespoke site goes live, everything is connected, professional, and ready to bring in work.

Charlie finds and registers the right domain for your business — yourbusiness.co.uk or .com. If you already own one, he'll transfer or connect it. DNS, nameservers, and all the technical bits are handled for you.
Branded email addresses on your domain — you@yourbusiness.co.uk — set up through Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. Configured on your phone, tablet, and computer so it just works from day one.
A professionally designed logo that looks sharp across your website, social media, invoices, business cards, van livery, and workwear. Your brand identity, sorted from the start.
Your Google Business listing claimed, verified, and optimised — so you show up in Maps, local search results, and the "businesses near me" pack. Charlie also guides you on getting those first crucial reviews.
Fast, secure UK-based servers with SSL certificates, daily backups, uptime monitoring, and ongoing maintenance. Billed monthly with no contracts — cancel any time.
Every page is search-optimised with proper structure, meta tags, and AI-assisted copywriting built around the keywords your customers actually use. Your site is submitted to Google before launch.
Here's exactly what Charlie does behind the scenes for every project — whether you're a plumber going self-employed for the first time or an established business upgrading your online presence.
Charlie searches for available domains, advises on the best option for your business (.co.uk is usually ideal for UK trades), registers it, and configures DNS so your website, email, and Google Business all connect properly. If you already have a domain elsewhere, he can transfer or point it — no disruption.
Professional email is set up through either Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace — whichever suits you best. Charlie configures it on all your devices, sets up signatures, and makes sure everything sends and receives correctly. Ongoing management means if you get a new phone or need changes, he sorts it. The email platform has a small monthly cost, included transparently in your hosting.
Charlie designs a logo that captures your trade and business personality — clean, modern, and versatile. You'll receive files for print, web, and social media. If you need guidance on colour palettes, typography, or general branding direction, that's part of the conversation too.
Your Google Business listing is one of the most powerful tools for local visibility. Charlie claims and verifies your profile, fills in every relevant field, adds photos, sets service areas, and connects it to your website. He also walks you through how to ask customers for reviews — and why those reviews are worth their weight in gold for local search rankings.
Thinking of going self-employed and not sure what to call your business? Charlie's helped plenty of tradespeople work through this. He can advise on names that work well online, check domain availability, and make sure your branding is professional from the very first day. No charge for the conversation — it's part of the process.
Your site is hosted on secure UK servers with SSL encryption, daily automated backups, uptime monitoring, and regular security updates. If anything goes wrong, Charlie is on it. If you need a content change, a WhatsApp message gets it done — usually the same day. All included in your monthly hosting, no surprises.
If you're a plumber, electrician, builder, or any tradesperson thinking about going out on your own for the first time — you don't need to figure out the digital side alone. Charlie has guided new businesses from choosing a name and registering a domain through to launching a fully professional trade website with everything set up.
If your current site isn't performing, your email is still a Gmail address, or you've never touched your Google Business Profile — HowdyPixel can rebuild everything properly. A bespoke redesign with proper hosting, branded email, and local SEO gives your business the credibility it deserves.
Your website, domain, email, hosting, logo, Google Business, and SEO are all set up together as one cohesive system. They work together because they were built together — not cobbled from different providers with different logins and different support contacts.
Starting fresh? Upgrading an existing setup? Not sure where to begin? Doesn't matter — just have a chat and Charlie will map out exactly what you need.
Charlie outlines everything — what's included, what it costs, and how long it'll take. Domain, email, logo, website, hosting, Google Business — the full picture, no surprises.
Charlie builds your website, designs your logo, registers your domain, sets up your email, configures hosting, and optimises your Google Business Profile. You see a preview before launch.
Website live, email working, Google listing active, branding consistent. One developer handled the lot — and he's still a message away for anything you need going forward.
Everything is set up remotely — so it doesn't matter where you're based. Here's where most of our clients are.
Charlie's home turf. Strong connections with tradespeople and businesses across Dorset, Bournemouth, Poole, and Christchurch.
Regular projects across Hampshire, Southampton, Portsmouth, and Brighton. Same fast, personal service.
Clients in London, Exeter, and across England. Everything is remote — WhatsApp, phone, and email. Location is never a barrier.
From tradespeople starting from nothing to businesses upgrading their entire setup.
"HowdyPixel built our website in under a week and the phone hasn't stopped ringing since. Brilliant service and they actually understood what a plumbing business needs."
"Dead easy to work with. They sorted our logo, website, and emails all in one go. The site looks proper professional and we're getting leads from Google already."
"We'd been putting off getting a website for years. HowdyPixel made the whole thing painless. Great price, great result, and the hosting just works."
Everything you might want to know before starting from scratch.
Absolutely — that's the most common starting point. Charlie can help you choose a business name, check domain availability, design a logo, set up email, build your website, and get your Google Business Profile live. The whole thing, from idea to online, in under a week.
The email platform (Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace) has a small monthly fee which is included transparently in your hosting cost. Setup, configuration across all your devices, and ongoing management are all handled by Charlie at no extra charge.
Logo design is included as part of every website package rather than offered as a standalone service. If you need just a logo, get in touch and Charlie can advise — but the best value is always the full package where everything is designed together cohesively.
For local trades, it's arguably more important than the website itself in the short term. It's what puts you in the Maps results, shows your reviews, and displays your contact details when someone searches "plumber near me". Charlie sets it up and optimises it as standard.
Yes — Charlie can either transfer your domain across or point it to your new site, whichever makes more sense. Existing email can be kept as-is or migrated to a managed setup. Nothing gets disrupted during the process.
Charlie's happy to help brainstorm. He'll check domain availability, think about how it works for branding and search, and give you an honest opinion. It's part of the process for anyone who's starting fresh — no extra charge, no formal consultation needed.
