Proposal · prepared for The Art Shop and Chapel · 18 May 2026

A few specific fixes for artshopandgallery.co.uk.

The Art Shop and Chapel · Abergavenny · website rebuild

I rebuild small-business sites in my spare time when I can see they are leaving conversions on the table. I spent an hour on artshopandgallery.co.uk on a phone over coffee, and walked through the chapel address on Google Maps Street View. Three things stood out, all about how much brand surface, structured data and heritage the homepage is sitting on. Three findings below, then a working rebuild you can click through.

Three findings, in order of customer impact

What the current site is sitting on.

A walk-through of the live artshopandgallery.co.uk on a phone, on a Monday morning, 18 May 2026.

01

The brand is split across two domains, and the one your email points at returns nothing.

What I saw
The live website is hosted at artshopandgallery.co.uk. Every customer-facing email address you publish (admin@artshopandchapel.co.uk on the contact page, events@artshopandchapel.co.uk on the kitchen page, both verbatim) sits on a different domain: artshopandchapel.co.uk. A customer who tries the email domain in their browser hits ECONNREFUSED. The www subdomain on the live host is also broken, so the only working hostname is the bare apex. Two domains, two impressions, no canonical address.
After rebuild
After rebuild: a single canonical domain (artshopandchapel.co.uk, since it already routes the mail and is the more accurate name in 2026) with a permanent 301 redirect from artshopandgallery.co.uk so old links and Selvedge listings keep working. The www subdomain resolves cleanly. Every email signature, every printed card, every Instagram bio points at one address.
02

The homepage ships no meta description, no Open Graph card, no Twitter card and no schema of any kind.

What I saw
View source on artshopandgallery.co.uk and there is zero meta description, zero og:image, zero og:title, zero twitter:card, and zero application/ld+json. The msapplication-TileColor is a salmon pink (#f01d4f) that matches nothing on the site and reads as a stale theme leak. The page is verified in Google Search Console (the google-site-verification tag is there) but Google has no LocalBusiness, no Restaurant, no Event, no AggregateRating and no opening hours to render. Every WhatsApp, iMessage and LinkedIn share posts as a blank thumbnail with a fallback hostname.
After rebuild
After rebuild: full OG and Twitter card meta pointing at a hosted hero image. A LocalBusiness JSON-LD block covering both venues, two PostalAddress entries, opening hours, AggregateRating from the 4.3 stars on 192 Tripadvisor reviews, an Event block for the upcoming Summer Mixed Show 30 May to 25 July 2026. Rich-snippet stars and hours start appearing in Search within a few weeks of launch.
03

The story the homepage should tell (1882 Bethany Chapel, 2015 reopening, Sarah Price garden, Own Art) is buried on sub-pages or absent.

What I saw
The homepage gives a sentence on the two buildings and a grid of recent posts. The chapel-opening date of 30 April 2015, the 1882 Bethany Baptist heritage, the Sarah Price walled garden (a two-time RHS Chelsea Gold designer), and the Own Art interest-free purchase scheme (£250 to £5,000 over 10 months) are the four things that make this venue what it is. None of them are on the front page. The Selvedge Magazine permanent listing and the Tripadvisor 4.3 stars on 192 reviews are also nowhere on the homepage.
After rebuild
After rebuild: a hero that names both buildings and the two-minute walk between them; a heritage band that lands the 1882 build by E.A. Johnson, the 2015 reopening, and the succession from Pauline to her son William (House of Caradog, Walnut Tree, Angel Hotel); a Sarah Price garden block; and an Own Art block. The four selling points all in the first three scrolls.

£2,000Fixed for the rebuild. One-off. £150Per month for hosting and ongoing care. £50Optional. Embedded chatbot trained on FAQs.
