One invented town.
seven real websites.

Wrenhythe is a Suffolk coastal market town that does not exist. Every business on this page trades there, and every one of their websites is genuinely built and genuinely live — 27 pages you can open, click through and pick apart, not a folder of flat mockups.

They exist so you can see the work before you commission any. Look through one here, then open the real thing on its own address and use it as a customer would.

Why a town that is not there

Wrenhythe

Nobody real gets impersonated

Every name, address, phone number and opening time belongs to a town that does not exist. No real barber finds a site trading under their name, and the phone numbers come from the ranges Ofcom reserves for drama.

The local search still works

Schema, address consistency and a service radius are all demonstrably correct — they simply describe a fictional town. You can see exactly what a search engine would be handed for your own business.

One high street, not a folder of mockups

Thirteen unrelated mockups say nothing. Thirteen businesses on one high street show the same studio solving thirteen genuinely different problems, and none of them wearing the same template.

thirteen businesses are planned and seven are built and live. The rest arrive as they are finished — each one gets a full design pass of its own rather than the last one recoloured. Every demo carries a ribbon saying what it is, and every one is set to noindex, so none of them can ever compete with a real business in search.
