About

Hi, I'm Charlie. Your local web designer.

I started my own clothing brand, FROST, in 2023 with no experience and taught myself everything, including how to build a website that actually sells.

Then I started making websites for people I know, and the results carried on, even for completely different businesses, like an Airbnb in Hawkshead in the Lake District.

COF Works brings that same approach to businesses in Southport and beyond: a website built from scratch, found on Google and ChatGPT, for one fixed fee.

FAQ

Straight answers.

Including the big two: what SEO and GEO actually mean for your business.

Why do I need a new website?

To rank high on Google and ChatGPT so new customers can easily find you. Most people search online before they call, visit or buy, so a fast, modern website that shows up in those results is how you win customers who don’t know you yet, and how you turn them into enquiries and sales.

Will I need to manage the website myself?

No. Once it’s live there’s nothing to log into or keep on top of. It just keeps working and bringing in enquiries. If you ever need a change, send Charlie a message and it’s usually done within 1 to 3 business days.

What is SEO?

SEO (search engine optimisation) is how your website gets found on Google. It covers fast load times, clear page titles, the right local keywords like “plumber in Southport”, structured business data and useful content, so Google understands what you do and where, and shows you to the right people.

What is GEO?

GEO (generative engine optimisation) is SEO for AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini and Google’s AI Overviews. When someone asks an AI “who’s the best web designer in Southport?”, GEO is what makes your business part of the answer: clear facts about who you are, what you do and where you work, structured data, and content AI tools can understand and quote.

Are SEO and GEO included in every website?

Yes. Every site we build comes with the foundations for both: fast pages, proper titles and descriptions, local keywords, structured business data and content written so Google and AI assistants can understand and recommend you.

Do you only work with businesses in Southport?

We’re a web design studio based in Southport and love working with local businesses, but we build websites for businesses right across the UK.

How long is the entire process?

Around two weeks on average, from your first call to your website going live. That covers the discovery call, design, build and launch. Bigger sites with more features can take a little longer, and you’ll know the timeline before we start.

What happens if I need a change after launch?

Just get in touch and we’ll sort it promptly. Changes are usually completed within 1 to 3 business days, depending on the size of the change.
