Learning How to Learn: The Top Skill for an AI-Driven World

When Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, spoke recently in Athens, he summed up the reality of our times in one phrase: “The top skill for the next generation is learning how to learn.”

AI is moving faster than any single profession, tool, or industry can keep up with. Hassabis predicts we may even reach AGI — where AI matches humans at most tasks — within the next decade. Whether or not that exact timeline proves true, one thing is certain: huge change is coming.

What it means for small businesses

In the past, a business owner could learn a system, skill, or process and comfortably run with it for 5–10 years before having to upskill. That era is gone. Today, tools evolve monthly, sometimes weekly. Thriving now requires not just knowledge, but the ability to adapt, relearn, and apply new thinking continually.

For small businesses, this presents both a challenge and an opportunity:

• The challenge is finding the time and expertise to keep up with ever-changing digital tools.

• The opportunity is leveraging AI and modern processes to do more with less, stay competitive, and even punch above your weight against larger rivals.

How Mountain Forty Nine helps

At Mountain Forty Nine, we see our role as taking on that burden for you. You don’t need to be the AI expert — that’s our job. Our services are designed to keep your website and digital presence current, visible, and effective in a fast-changing landscape.

From modern website builds to our Website Assurance Plan and AI Visibility Pack, we help small businesses adapt without the stress of constant retraining. In short, we stay ahead of the curve so you can focus on running your business.

Final thought

Hassabis is right: the ability to “learn how to learn” is the defining skill of our generation. For individuals, it means embracing lifelong learning. For small businesses, it means choosing partners who can help you adapt and thrive — not just today, but tomorrow, too.

Turning Posts Into Views: How Mountain Forty Nine Drives Real Results

At Mountain Forty Nine, we’re firm believers that great content deserves to be seen. That’s why we don’t just build websites — we work with our clients to create a steady flow of engaging articles and then put them in front of the right audience. It’s a proven way of delivering website traffic growth and long-term visibility.

Real Results for Our Clients

Two recent examples show just how powerful this approach can be:

• The Biscuit Bridge – In its very first month on Facebook, this new account reached an incredible 10,202 views. One post alone achieved 6,090 views, showing just how quickly the right content can gain traction when it’s shared in the right way.
• Wirral Cycle Services – Over the same period, their Facebook presence attracted a remarkable 40,012 views. These weren’t random clicks, but people genuinely interested in what they offer, from cycle repairs to premium wheels and rentals.

The Workflow That Works

So how do we help achieve numbers like this? The key is in the workflow:

1. We encourage articles to be written and published on the client’s website blog. This builds authority, adds fresh content, and ensures Google can index and surface new services.
2. We then share those articles back onto Facebook, creating posts that preview the content. Followers see a taster of the story and, if it resonates, click through to read the full article.
3. Every click-through drives traffic back to the website, not just generating short-term views but also building long-term visibility and brand trust.

This cycle of publish → share → engage → click-through is central to how we support small business online success. It’s not just about likes — it’s about driving momentum online, creating more chances for people to discover services, and strengthening the connection between the business and its audience.

More Than Support: Our Managed Website Service

But here’s where Mountain Forty Nine is different. This process isn’t just a bolt-on. It’s at the heart of our Managed Website Service.

We’re not simply there to fix issues when they arise or swap out the odd image. We’re there to generate traffic, keep momentum, and grow websites steadily alongside the businesses they represent. It’s about progress — moving forward step by step, building an online presence that develops as the company does.

Growing and Improving Together

“Growing and improving together — the Mountain Forty Nine way.”

That’s the core of our ethos: growing and improving together. Helping one another become an online success. Using AI-powered website support, slick processes, and modern thinking, we create a partnership where both sides can become bigger, better, and more successful.

At Mountain Forty Nine, we don’t just measure success by numbers on a dashboard. We look at meaningful results: real people reading about our clients, engaging with their stories, and ultimately discovering more about the services they provide.

And the numbers speak for themselves.

Mozello vs WordPress: Which Is Better for Small Business Websites?

When it comes to building or redeveloping a website, small business owners are often faced with one big question: which platform should I choose? WordPress is the most well-known option, powering millions of sites worldwide, but it’s not always the best fit for smaller businesses. Mozello, a modern and lightweight website builder, is quickly becoming a smarter choice for those who want simplicity, security, and affordability.

At Mountain Forty Nine, we work with small businesses across the UK to redevelop their websites, and Mozello is our platform of choice. Here’s how it compares to WordPress.

What is WordPress?

WordPress is a powerful open-source content management system (CMS). It’s popular, flexible, and supported by a vast community of developers. With thousands of themes and plugins, you can build almost anything on WordPress — from a simple brochure site to a complex e-commerce store.

But with that flexibility comes complexity. WordPress often requires:

• Regular plugin and theme updates

• Extra security measures

• Paid hosting and maintenance

• Technical knowledge or developer support

For large organisations or businesses with custom needs, WordPress can be the right choice. For small businesses, it can become more of a burden than a benefit.

What is Mozello?

Mozello is a website builder designed with simplicity and small business in mind. It’s secure, hosted, and comes with built-in features like multilingual support, SEO tools, and e-commerce capability — all without the need for plugins or technical expertise.

With Mozello, you get:

• Hosting included (no separate server required)

• Clean, SEO-friendly design out of the box

• Easy editing tools you can manage yourself

• Affordable plans with transparent pricing

• Reliable security and updates handled for you

Head-to-Head Comparison

Which Should Small Businesses Choose?

If you’re running a small business, your priority is usually having a website that looks professional, ranks well on Google, and is easy to keep up to date — without draining time and money. That’s where Mozello shines.

WordPress is powerful, but with that power comes ongoing costs, security risks, and maintenance overheads. Unless you have a dedicated IT resource, it can quickly feel like more hassle than it’s worth.

Mozello gives you the essentials small businesses need: a modern website, SEO-ready design, e-commerce options, and the ability to manage content yourself — all in a simple, affordable package.

Conclusion

For most small businesses, Mozello is the smarter choice. It delivers everything you need to succeed online without the complexity of WordPress.

At Mountain Forty Nine, we specialise in Mozello website redevelopment. Whether you’re starting fresh or looking to transform an existing site, we can help you build something modern, affordable, and built to last.

When AI Can Shrink Your Trainers, Imagine What It Can Do for Your Business

At Mountain Forty Nine, we’re not just building websites — we’re exploring how AI can unlock new ways of thinking, creating, and presenting.

Take this example: a miniature trainer, staged on a shoebox. At first glance, it looks like a high-end product shoot. In reality, it was created entirely using AI. No studio, no props, no hours of setup. Just an idea, brought to life in minutes.

This is the power of AI: to take imagination and turn it into something tangible. For small businesses, that means:

• Content at speed — imagery, words, and designs delivered instantly.

• Creativity without limits — your brand brought to life in ways that would be impossible or unaffordable otherwise.

• Impact where it matters — scroll-stopping visuals and messaging that capture attention and build trust.

If AI can shrink a pair of trainers, stage them on a box, and make you look twice, imagine what it can do when applied to your website, your marketing, and your business growth.

At Mountain Forty Nine, we combine AI tools with real-world experience to deliver results that are practical, powerful, and human. Because while the tech is clever, it’s what you do with it that counts.

Want to see how we can apply this to your business? Let’s talk.

The Website Is Just the Start — The Real Change Is You

When a business owner invests in a website, they’re not just buying pages on a screen. They’re investing in the future version of themselves.

At Mountain Forty Nine, we’ve seen it time and again: the moment a website is rebuilt properly, something changes.

• The business owner walks taller.

• Their confidence grows.

• They’re proud to share their brand.

• They’re suddenly attracting leads they used to miss out on, thanks to AI powered visibility

That’s because a well-built website isn’t a product — it’s a transformation.  Take a look at our website packages to see how we do it.

We don’t just build websites. We build better business owners. Owners who have the tools, the visibility, and the credibility to take their business further than they imagined. And with our ongoing support plans, that confidence keeps growing.

If you’re ready to become the next version of your business self — the one who gets noticed, trusted, and chosen — let’s start the conversation.

From Idea to Online: The Biscuit Bridge Launches in Record Time

When Kerisa Hughes decided to launch The Biscuit Bridge, her goal was simple but deeply meaningful: to offer families a calm and compassionate home euthanasia service for their beloved pets.

What she didn’t want was months of delay waiting for a website to be built. She needed to reach families quickly and with clarity — and that’s exactly what happened.

Within days of her first conversation with Mountain Forty Nine, Kerisa had a live website that shared her story, explained her services, and gave families a clear way to reach her when the time came. The focus wasn’t on flashy design for design’s sake, but on creating something warm, practical, and trustworthy.

“My vision has always been about helping people and their pets at such a difficult time,” Kerisa explained. “I’m so glad the website came together so quickly, because it meant I could start helping families right away.”

The Biscuit Bridge is a testament to how fast, focused website builds can make a difference. From domain setup, branding, and configuration through to social support, everything was handled quickly, leaving Kerisa free to do what she does best: provide comfort and care.

At Mountain Forty Nine, we believe that speed doesn’t mean cutting corners — it means focusing on what matters most. The Biscuit Bridge is proof of that and we look forward to building a long and valued partnership as the company grows.

Mountain Forty Nine Partners with The Biscuit Bridge

We’re excited to announce a new partnership between Mountain Forty Nine and The Biscuit Bridge, a brand-new home-based veterinary service founded by Kerisa Hughes.

The Biscuit Bridge offers compassionate, at-home euthanasia for much-loved pets including dogs, cats, rabbits and other small animals. Kerisa’s vision is to provide dignity, comfort, and care to families and their pets during the most difficult of times. With plans to one day open her own veterinary practice, The Biscuit Bridge is the first step in that journey — offering a deeply personal service that bridges the gap between professional care and heartfelt support.

At Mountain Forty Nine, our role is to give The Biscuit Bridge the strong digital foundations it needs to grow. From developing the new website and branding, to setting up social media and ensuring the right digital tools are in place, we’re helping Kerisa bring her vision to life online.

This partnership reflects exactly what Mountain Forty Nine is about: helping small businesses with big ambitions find their voice and presence in the digital world. By combining Kerisa’s compassionate services with our expertise in web design and digital support, The Biscuit Bridge is set to become a trusted name for families across the region.

We’re proud to play a part in this journey, and we’re looking forward to seeing how The Biscuit Bridge develops in the months and years ahead.

Forget Old-School Agencies — Here’s the Smarter Way to Build Your Website

For too long, small businesses have been told that building or redesigning a website has to be complicated, expensive, and drawn out. Traditional agencies thrive on long timelines, endless meetings, and hefty invoices. The result? A website that looks fine on day one, but quickly starts to gather dust as the world moves on.

At Mountain Forty Nine, we do things differently. We use modern tools and intelligent processes to create websites that are practical, powerful, and built for the way small businesses actually work today.

Smarter tools, better results in modern website design UK

We don’t rely on bloated systems or outdated methods. Instead, we use a mix of:

• Mozello – a flexible, fast platform that keeps websites secure and easy to manage.

• Canva – professional design, scaled for businesses who don’t want to spend a fortune on branding.

• AI – this is where things really get interesting. From writing high-performing copy to optimising pages for Google, we use AI to speed up delivery and make sure your site is built on solid digital foundations.

• Automation & Analytics – we configure your site to track performance, capture leads, and save you time on day-to-day admin.

These tools allow us to deliver websites that don’t just look good, but work hard for your business.

How AI web design makes your website stronger

AI isn’t a gimmick — it’s a practical tool we use every day to give small businesses an edge. Here’s how it fits into our process:

• Content creation that converts – AI helps us produce copy that is engaging, search-friendly, and tailored to your audience.

• SEO built in from day one – we use AI to analyse keywords and structure content in ways that search engines love. That means your site starts climbing Google faster.

• Image optimisation – AI enhances imagery for speed, accessibility, and search performance, so your site loads faster and looks sharper.

• Insights and improvements – AI tools flag areas of your site that could be performing better, helping us keep your website ahead of the curve.

The end result? Websites that aren’t just digital brochures, but dynamic assets that support business growth.

What this means for small businesses

By cutting out the unnecessary, we save you time, money, and hassle. Here’s the difference it makes:

• Speed – projects launch in weeks, not months.

• Cost-effectiveness – you only pay for what you need, with ongoing support options to suit any budget.

• Clarity – no jargon, no confusing processes, just clear communication from start to finish.

• Future-proofing – AI-powered SEO and analytics mean your site continues to perform, long after launch.

Proof it works

Take Wirral Cycle Services as an example. Their new site was rebuilt with AI-driven SEO baked in from the start, meaning Google began indexing it immediately and customer traffic increased within days of going live. That’s the power of combining smart design with modern technology.

Your next step

If you’ve been putting off a new website because you’re worried about the cost, the complexity, or the risk of getting stuck with something you can’t manage — it’s time to think differently.

Mountain Forty Nine is the smarter, modern alternative. We’ll build you a website that’s designed to perform today and ready to evolve tomorrow.

AI Hasn’t Killed Websites — It’s Killed Websites That Don’t Adapt

If you’ve read the headlines lately, you’ve probably seen dramatic claims like “Websites are dead” or “AI will replace Google.” It’s easy to see why business owners might panic — if people are getting their answers straight from AI or a Google snippet, what’s the point of having a website at all?

Here’s the truth: websites aren’t dying. But the way they work — and the way people find them — is changing fast. Those who adapt will thrive. Those who don’t… well, they’re the ones those headlines are talking about.

What’s Really Happening

In the past, most customers found you by typing a search term into Google, scrolling through results, and clicking a link. Now, we’re seeing:

• AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity delivering answers without the user visiting a website.

• Google zero-click results, where information appears directly on the results page.

• Voice search giving quick answers from a single source.

The result? Fewer clicks from traditional search — but the people who do visit your site are often warmer, more ready to buy, and looking for action.

Why Websites Still Matter More Than Ever

Even if fewer people are clicking through, your website is still your most important digital asset. Here’s why:

1. AI Needs Sources – Most AI tools pull from trusted, well-structured websites. If your site isn’t one of them, you’re invisible to this new audience.

2. You Own It – Unlike social platforms or third-party directories, you control your website. No sudden bans, no changing rules.

3. It’s Your Conversion Hub – AI can create awareness, but customers still need somewhere to buy, book, or enquire. That’s your website’s job.

What’s Dying Is ‘Build It and Wait’

The websites that are fading away are the ones that:

• Haven’t been updated in years.

• Are slow, poorly designed, or hard to navigate.

• Rely on old-school SEO without considering how AI and search snippets work.

The AI era demands structured content, schema markup, and conversion-focused design. It’s no longer enough to just have a nice-looking page — it needs to be discoverable and useful to both humans and machines.

Future-Proofing Your Website

At Mountain Forty Nine, we’ve adapted our process to make sure your site works in the AI era:

• AI Discovery Optimisation (AIDO) – Formatting, content structure, and schema markup so AI assistants can understand and recommend you.

• Zero-Click Survival – Ensuring your brand still gets visibility and clicks, even when the answer appears in a search snippet.

• Quarterly Discovery Health Checks – Ongoing adjustments so your site moves with the changes, not behind them.

The Bottom Line

AI hasn’t killed websites — but it has raised the bar. Your site can still be a powerful business tool, but it needs to be designed for the way people search now, not how they searched five years ago.

If you want your business to be findable, relevant, and competitive in 2025 and beyond, now’s the time to adapt.

Ready to make your website AI-ready? Book your free discovery call with Mountain Forty Nine and let’s make sure you’re part of the future, not a victim of it.

Is Your Website Quietly Costing You Business? Here’s How to Find Out

You only get one chance to make a first impression online. For many customers, your website is that first impression — and if it’s slow, unclear, or outdated, they’ll move on without giving you a second thought.

The reality is most small business websites underperform. They look fine at first glance, but behind the scenes, issues like poor search visibility, confusing navigation, or missing trust signals quietly drive potential customers away. The worst part? Business owners often don’t realise it’s happening.

That’s where our Website Health Check comes in.

What Is the Website Health Check?

The Website Health Check is a focused review of your site across five key areas:

• Technical Performance – Site speed, mobile responsiveness, and hosting setup.

• Search Visibility (SEO) – How well you’re showing up in Google, including on‑page optimisation and local rankings.

• Content Clarity – Whether your services and calls‑to‑action are clear, compelling, and trustworthy.

• User Experience (UX) – Navigation flow, mobile usability, and enquiry forms that actually work.

• Compliance – Making sure your site meets legal requirements like privacy policies and cookie notices.

You’ll get a clear, jargon‑free report that highlights what’s working, what’s not, and where to focus first for the biggest impact.

Why It Matters

A poor‑performing website doesn’t just frustrate visitors — it directly impacts your bottom line:

• Lost enquiries – Customers abandon slow or confusing sites.

• Lower search rankings – Google prioritises fast, well‑structured websites.

• Missed opportunities – If key info isn’t clear, competitors win the business instead.

• Hidden risks – Outdated compliance can put you at legal risk.

By understanding these gaps, you can prioritise fixes that make a real difference — whether it’s small tweaks or a bigger redevelopment.

Who It’s For

The Website Health Check is designed for:

• Small businesses unsure how their website is performing.

• Owners considering a redesign but wanting to confirm if it’s necessary.

• Businesses struggling to get enquiries despite having a website.

• Anyone who suspects their site could work harder for them but doesn’t know where to start.

What Happens After the Check?

You’re free to do whatever you like with the results:

• Implement the fixes yourself if you have the know‑how.

• Hire us for a one‑off project to handle the changes for you.

• Roll into our Website Assurance Plan for ongoing support, hosting, and proactive improvements.

There’s no obligation — the Health Check gives you clarity either way.

How Much Does It Cost?

It’s a one‑off fee that could save — or earn — you thousands by identifying issues early. Most clients recover the cost within their first few new enquiries once improvements are made.

(We can position exact pricing here once you’re ready to publish — do you want me to include a figure now?)

Ready to See Where You Stand?

Stop guessing what’s holding your website back. A clear, practical review can give you the confidence to fix what matters — and grow your business with a site that finally pulls its weight.

How Small Businesses Can Get Mentioned in AI Search Results (And Why It Matters)

Most people think about Google when they hear “SEO.” For years, the focus has been on ranking high in search results, earning clicks, and driving traffic to your website.

But the way people find businesses online is changing fast. AI tools like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Perplexity are becoming part of everyday life. People aren’t just searching anymore – they’re asking questions:

• “Who’s the best tiler in Wirral?”

• “Which local dog trainer has the best reviews?”

• “What’s the most affordable website design company near me?”

And instead of showing a list of links, these tools give a single answer. If your business isn’t part of that answer, you’re invisible.

Why AI Search Is Different

AI tools don’t crawl the web like Google. They pull from trusted sources, training data, and structured information. They rely on facts they can verify, not just keywords or backlinks.

That means they’re looking for:

• Clear, consistent business details (name, address, services).

• Structured data (schema) that tells them exactly what your site is about.

• Trusted third‑party mentions (reviews, news stories, directories).

• Helpful, factual content they can summarise (FAQs, service pages, case studies).

If this information is missing – or scattered across the web – AI tools are less likely to mention you in their answers.

What Small Businesses Can Do Right Now

The good news? You don’t need a huge budget or technical team to get started. A few practical steps can make a big difference:

1. Get your details straight Make sure your business name, address, phone number, and services are consistent everywhere online – your website, Google Business Profile, social pages, and local directories.

2. Add structure to your website Implement “schema markup” (behind‑the‑scenes code) so AI can read your key details easily: services, opening hours, locations, FAQs.

3. Write clear, helpful content Create pages and FAQs that answer real customer questions. Be specific about what you do, where you do it, and why people choose you.

4. Encourage reviews and mentions Ask happy customers to leave Google Reviews. Aim for mentions in local blogs, news sites, or trade directories – AI uses these as trust signals.

5. Keep it updated Regularly refresh your Google Business Profile and website with project updates, seasonal offers, or new services. AI tools favour current information.

Why Act Now?

AI search isn’t a future trend – it’s already changing how people find businesses. By taking action now, you get ahead of competitors who haven’t even heard of this shift yet.

Think about it: if someone in your area asks, “Who’s the best bathroom repair company near me?” wouldn’t you rather be named as the answer than left out entirely?

How We’re Preparing at Mountain Forty Nine

We’re currently developing an AI Visibility Pack – a new service designed to help small businesses get noticed in AI search results. It will include:

• Auditing your online presence and fixing inconsistencies.

• Adding structured data and FAQs to your website.

• Optimising your Google Business Profile and key listings.

• Building trust signals (reviews, mentions) that AI tools rely on.

• Monitoring and adapting as AI search evolves.

It’s in development now, but we’re sharing updates as we go – and early conversations with local businesses are already shaping how we roll it out.

Final Word

AI search isn’t replacing Google overnight, but it’s changing the rules. The businesses that prepare early will be the ones AI recommends – and the ones customers find first.

If you want your business to stay visible as this shift happens, now’s the time to start exploring it.

Why We Offer Flexible Website Payment Plans (and How They Help Small Businesses Grow)

Investing in a new website is one of the most impactful decisions a small business can make. A modern, professional site doesn’t just look good – it helps you attract customers, build trust, and stay competitive. But there’s no getting around it: website projects can also feel like a big financial commitment, especially if you’re used to seeing hefty upfront costs.

At Mountain Forty Nine, we’ve seen first hand how this can hold businesses back. Owners know they need to update their online presence, but the idea of paying a large sum in one go makes them delay – sometimes for years. In that time, opportunities are missed, competitors move ahead, and the business doesn’t get the digital presence it deserves.

That’s why we introduced flexible payment options. Our aim is simple: make professional websites more accessible, without compromising on quality or support.

The Challenge Small Businesses Face

Cash flow is one of the biggest pressures for small business owners. When you’re juggling staff costs, equipment, stock, and day‑to‑day running expenses, a big website bill can feel out of reach – even if you know it will pay for itself in time.

We realised that if we could make the financial side simpler and less intimidating, more businesses could invest in a better website sooner. That led to our 12‑month payment plan.

How Our Payment Plan Works

Instead of paying a large lump sum upfront, we spread the cost of your expense with us evenly over 12 months. The amount is fixed, predictable, and interest‑free – no hidden fees or complicated terms.

You get all the benefits of a professionally built website, project, website assurance plan or managed service right away, while keeping your monthly outgoings manageable. And if things change and you want to clear the balance early? That’s fine too – flexibility is part of the deal.

Why This Matters

For many of the businesses we work with, this approach has been a game‑changer. It means:

• Launching sooner – no need to wait for the “right time” financially.

• Keeping control of cash flow – predictable payments make planning easier.

• Investing with confidence – you can grow your online presence without the stress of a big upfront cost.

One recent client, told us the payment plan was the deciding factor in getting their project with us off the ground. With two new vans to buy and staff to hire, spreading the cost gave them breathing space to move forward with confidence.

Not Just About Payments

While the payment plan helps remove a barrier, the real benefit is what comes after: a website that represents your business properly. We combine straightforward design, ongoing support, and practical advice so you can focus on running your business while we handle the tech.

And because we work with a range of industries – from tiling and trades to cycle services and property surveys – we understand the different challenges each sector faces online.

Ready to Explore Your Options?

If a big upfront cost has been holding you back from upgrading your website, our flexible payment plans could be the solution. Whether you want to spread the cost over 12 months or pay upfront, we make the process simple and transparent.

AI in Web Design: What It Means for Small Businesses

The world of web design is evolving fast. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer just a buzzword – it’s transforming how websites are built, updated, and optimised. For small business owners, this is great news. AI makes it possible to create professional results more quickly and cost‑effectively than ever before. But like any tool, it’s most powerful when paired with real experience and insight.

Faster, Smarter Design

AI-powered design tools can suggest layouts, generate colour palettes, and even draft initial content in seconds. This cuts the time it takes to move from concept to launch, helping small businesses get online faster without sacrificing quality.

Content That Connects

AI also enhances copywriting by analysing tone, suggesting keywords, and structuring pages for SEO. This means your website isn’t just visually appealing – it’s more likely to be found by the right audience.

Affordable Without Compromise

Traditional professional web design could feel out of reach for smaller budgets. By combining AI tools with expert oversight, we deliver a polished, human‑friendly experience while keeping costs competitive.

The Human Touch Still Matters

AI is powerful, but it doesn’t understand your business or customers the way you do. That’s where Mountain Forty Nine comes in – blending AI efficiency with practical design expertise to create websites that truly work for your business.

Ready to See What’s Possible?

We’ve been keeping this one under wraps for a while, but we can finally share a glimpse of what’s next. After months of conversations and planning, we’re about to start work on a major rebuild for one of the most exciting tech companies we’ve ever partnered with — based in Melton Mowbray.

This isn’t just another project. It’s the first time we’ve worked with a firm in this cutting‑edge sector, and it’s set to push our creativity and technical skills in new directions. We’ll be rebuilding their online presence from the ground up and supporting them long‑term as they grow and innovate.

We’re genuinely thrilled about what’s coming — keep an eye on this space for the full reveal very soon.

Let the World See You: Why Now Is the Time to Build the Digital Presence You Deserve

Every day, brilliant businesses go unnoticed. Not because they’re not good enough — but because they’re hidden behind outdated websites, broken links, and online silence.

At Mountain Forty Nine, we believe in shining a light on the people who make the world go round — small business owners, creators, grafters. The ones doing the hard work behind the scenes, pouring their heart into what they do… but maybe not shouting loud enough about it.

Here’s the truth: You don’t need to be everywhere. You just need to show up properly.

What if your website didn’t just exist — but stood tall as your loudest, proudest advocate? What if your online presence felt as sharp, confident, and reliable as the work you deliver every single day?

We don’t believe in cookie-cutter websites. We believe in partnering with you to build something that reflects your energy, your ambition, your business. Clean, fast, clear, and built to convert — whether that means calls, sales, bookings, or simply more people knowing your name.

We’re not here to dazzle you with tech talk or upsell you with jargon. We’re here to get you seen, get you heard, and make sure when someone lands on your site — they feel like they’ve found the right person.

You’ve already got the business. We’ll help you build the presence to match.

The time to act is now. Your next customer is already online, already searching, already forming opinions — and we want them to see your business looking its absolute best.

So if you’re ready to stop hiding in plain sight — let’s talk.
Let’s build something that gets people talking.
Let’s create a digital presence you’re proud to send people to.

Because the world deserves to see what you’ve built and Mountain Forty Nine will make that happen.

Is Your Website Costing You Customers? Take Our Free 60 Second Website Health Check and Find Out.

If you’re a small business owner, your website should be working just as hard as you do.

But for many businesses, it’s not.

In fact, we’ve found that a surprising number of small business websites aren’t just underperforming — they’re actively costing their owners opportunities. Lost leads. Lost trust. Lost sales. And often, it’s not because of some major flaw… it’s because of a handful of easily fixable issues that go unnoticed for too long.

⚠️ Why Do So Many Small Business Websites Underperform?

It usually comes down to one (or more) of the following:

• The site looks fine… but it’s not built to convert

• It’s missing the right calls to action, trust signals, or mobile optimisation

• It was built years ago and hasn’t been touched since

• No one knows how well it’s actually performing — or even if anyone’s visiting

It’s not that these businesses don’t care — they’re just too busy running day-to-day operations to stop and assess whether their site is doing its job.

That’s where this comes in 👇

💡 Why We Created This
