Picsel, Design Studio
Cornwall
Picsel is a web design and automation studio in Cornwall. We build websites for local trades and small businesses, and do the search work that gets them found. Priced for a small business, not an agency retainer.
Five sites are live. They are all below, and each one links straight out to the real thing. Not a mock-up.

What we do
Four things, and they lean on each other. A site nobody can find is no use, and being easy to find is no use if the site puts people off when they get there.
- Websites
- Quick on a bad signal and easy to read on a small screen. That is where most of your customers will see it.
- Search, and AI answers
- Being found on Google for the jobs and the towns that bring you work. And, more and more, being the answer when someone asks an AI assistant instead.
- Google Business Profile
- The free listing that decides whether you appear in the map results. Easy to set up once and then never touch again. We keep yours current.
- Custom tools
- Small pieces of software for whatever you retype every week: quotes, booking confirmations. Built around how you already work, not the other way round.
One client per trade, per town. If we build for a builder in Hayle, we won’t take on another one. You’re not paying us to help your competitor catch up.
Common questions
Do I need to know anything about websites?
No. Tell us what your business does and what you want someone to do when they land on the site, and we deal with the rest of it. You will not be sent a list of technical decisions to make.
Do you only work in Cornwall?
Most of our work is here, but no. Four of the five sites on this page are for Cornish businesses and one is further afield. Where you are only matters for the search side, because you are competing with the other firms in your own towns. The site itself is built the same wherever you are.
Can you get me to the top of Google?
Nobody can promise that, and anyone who does is guessing. What we can do is make sure Google can read your site, that it says plainly what you do and which towns you cover, and that your Google Business Profile is filled in properly. That is what decides whether you turn up in the map results.
Who will I be dealing with?
Ben Miller, who builds the sites and answers the phone. There is no account manager and nobody to be passed on to.
Thinking about a site?
Tell us what your business does and what you want the site to do, and we’ll tell you what’s involved. Plain English, and no obligation.
