Same shop.
Premium homepage.
Monkey See Optical has been on Commissioners Road since 2012. The Weeweb site has not aged with it. Here is what changes when the homepage reads like the frame wall does.
Your website today vs. what it could be.
We built this preview from everything already on your site, reorganized, redesigned, and priced to own outright.
- Locked into Weeweb hosting at $10 to $30 per month, forever
The current site runs on Weeweb, a WordPress-style builder that charges a monthly subscription with no off-ramp. After 12+ years on Commissioners Road, the rent on the website itself keeps climbing. The new build is yours, $250 once and $0 monthly.
- Legacy Google Plus buttons still embedded on the page
Google Plus shut down in 2019. Those buttons have been broken for over six years and quietly signal to anyone landing that the site has not been touched recently. The new site replaces them with working Instagram, Facebook, and Google links surfaced in the footer.
- No online booking, even though eye exams are by appointment
Patients have to call during shop hours to book an eye exam or contact lens fitting. The new build pins a Call to Book button on every page header and footer, and a future online booking tool drops in as a single embed swap when the shop is ready.
- No patient review block anywhere on the homepage
Over a decade of customer-of-the-week relationships and no testimonials surfaced on the live site. The new build leaves space for verbatim Google or Facebook reviews and we will help collect and wire up the first batch when the shop is ready.
- No optometrist profile or shop-staff face
Patients booking an eye exam don't know who they're sitting down with. The new About page is set up to host a short bio and photo for the optometrist and the styling staff, drops in whenever the shop wants to share.
- Generic stock interior shots vs. the actual frame wall
The Weeweb template ships with stock photography that has nothing to do with this shop on Commissioners Road. The new build uses the real frame-wall and interior photos we already have on file and is ready to swap in fresh ones any time.
- It works, but it blends in
The site does the job, but nothing about it makes someone stop and say “this place looks great.” You're doing the work, the site just isn't showing it off.
- The full sixteen-brand frame lineup on the homepage
Ray-Ban, Oakley, Burberry, Coach, Guess, OGI, Adidas, Vogue Eyewear, Oliver Goldsmith, Ronit Furst, Seraphin, TOMS, Silhouette, Easyclip, Lightec, and Serengeti Eyewear. All sixteen surface in two places (Home and Services) as a curated tag cloud, the way a frame shop should sell itself.
- Since 2012 stamp as a hook, not a footnote
A floating Since 2012 badge on the practice intro photo plus a year-by-year timeline on About. Twelve-plus years of independent ownership on Commissioners is the trust signal a generic Weeweb template can't tell.
- Mondays-closed hours visible without scrolling
The current site buries hours under nav. The new build shows the Tuesday-to-Saturday schedule with Mondays-and-Sundays-closed clearly marked, on the homepage, on Contact, and in the footer. Customers stop calling on closed days.
- Plain-English Who We Are and Our Promise pages
Both real-site sections rebuilt in plain language. The Who We Are paragraph reads like a neighbourhood shop, not a SaaS template. Our Promise is four numbered principles, easy to scan, easy to point to.
- Eye exams and contact lens fittings front and centre
Two separate, clearly-named services on the Services page with their own chapter blocks. Comprehensive Eye Exams is chapter 01 with our optometrist named explicitly, Contact Lens Fittings is chapter 02. No more guessing whether you can book one without the other.
- $250 once. $0 monthly. Owned.
No more Weeweb subscription. Hosted on Cloudflare Pages with a clean preview URL today. Point monkeyseeoptical.com (or whatever the shop owns) at the new build whenever you're ready to switch.
- A site that actually looks like a real business
Modern design that matches how your business actually feels, not a clicked-together template that looks like everyone else's.
- Works perfectly on phones
Most people looking for you are on a phone. This site is built for phones first, then tablets, then laptops, in that order.
- Everything you already have, better organized
Your hours, your services, your photos, your prices, your booking link, your menu, all of it, in one clean place that people can actually find.
- Fast, secure, and runs itself
Hosted on Cloudflare, the same network that powers Shopify and Discord. Always online, always secure, always fast. No plugins to update.
- You own it. Pay once. Forever.
$250 one time. No monthly fees for hosting. No subscription. No lock-in. The site is yours to keep, forever.

The monthly fees you'd be paying elsewhere.
Most website builders charge you every single month. The day you stop paying, your website is gone. Here's what that actually looks like over a year:
