Does it work on a phone?
9 load as a shrunken desktop page you have to pinch and zoom.

Is it quick on mobile?
43 scored under 50 out of 100 on Google’s own mobile speed test.

Does it look up to date?
46 still show a copyright year from 2023 or earlier, 17 are built on web technology that’s years out of date, and 13 websites didn’t load at all.

No payment details, no obligation, and we won’t put you on a mailing list.
Who we are
A small team in the East Midlands, building websites for local businesses. You deal with the people doing the work, from first email to finished site.
New, and upfront about it
We started in November 2026. So instead of reviews, we show you your own homepage first.
Why “Vigil”?
A vigil means staying up to look after something. That’s how we look after your website.
Built around your trade
Who you are, what you do, where, and how to reach you. Biggest things first.
