Why We Started SortedOnline — And Why Your Online Presence Matters More Than Ever
July 16, 2025; Blogpost 1
When we spoke to small business owners in our area, we kept hearing the same thing:
“I know I need to improve how I look online, but I’ve got no idea where to start — and I don’t have time to figure it out.”
It wasn’t that they didn’t care — quite the opposite. They just didn’t have the support.
Some had tried building their own websites. Others had worked with agencies that disappeared after the first invoice. Most were juggling five different tools and didn’t have anyone to talk to who really understood what they needed — not just online, but in the context of their actual business.
So we started SortedOnline.
We’re Here Because It Was Missing
There’s no shortage of online tools or ‘experts’, but there’s a real lack of simple, joined-up solutions for local businesses. We wanted to change that — by offering:
Clean, professional websites that are actually easy to use
Setups that work together — domain, email, Google, ordering, all done right
Social media support that doesn’t just churn out posts but fits you
Real collaboration — no call centres, no vague tech-speak, just local people who get it
We’re not here to flood you with jargon or lock you into endless contracts. We’re here to make sure your business shows up online in a way that’s trustworthy, sharp, and genuinely reflects the work you put in every day.
Why Your Online Presence Is Worth Getting Right
Whether it’s a potential customer Googling your business name, checking your reviews, or clicking your Facebook posts — those first few seconds online matter more than most people think.
A poorly designed website, a Facebook page with no updates, or an unbranded Google listing can quietly turn people away — even if you’re brilliant at what you do.
People make fast decisions based on how things look and how easy they are to use. That’s not about being flashy — it’s about looking like the real, reliable business you already are.
When your online presence is clear, cohesive, and current:
You earn trust faster
People feel confident to contact or buy
You don’t lose potential customers who liked what they saw — but weren’t sure you were legit
A Bit About Us
We built SortedOnline for the kind of businesses we grew up around — the ones that are great at what they do but don’t have time to mess around with tech, trends or ten different platforms.
We believe getting your business sorted online shouldn’t be a headache.
So we make it easy. We work closely with you, we stay transparent, and we offer flexible support based on where you’re at — whether you’re just starting out or ready to scale.
If that sounds like something you’ve been looking for, we’d love to chat.
