Real work, shown honestly

Websites we’ve helped create — and ideas for what comes next.

Discover Shirley is at the beginning. We will not fill this page with invented portfolio entries. The live websites are labelled as real; the design concepts are clearly labelled as fictional examples.

Live

Already part of Discover Shirley

One website today. More as the project grows.

Paw Treks — Out of this world dog walking and pet sitting services
Live website

Paw Treks

A real website built through Discover Shirley for a local dog walker and pet sitter. The website presents services and practical information in one clear place and gives the business a web address it can share beyond social media.

Design concepts

Six fictional websites. Six different types of local presence.

These businesses are not real and are not members of Discover Shirley. The examples exist purely to show that a neighbourhood website does not need to look generic.

The page will change as we grow

Eventually the real websites should outnumber the examples.

Every new website will be added here only with the business or group’s agreement. When there are enough local participants, they can also become the foundation of the future Discover Shirley directory.
