How it works

Three steps to a site you're proud of

No long questionnaires and no design meetings that go nowhere.

Pick a style

Browse our example sites and choose the look that suits your business: clean and modern, bold and urban, or classic heritage.

Send your details

Fill in one short form with your logo, photos, services, prices, opening hours and booking or contact details. We write the words for you.

Live in days

We build your site, you review it and ask for any changes, and it goes live on your own domain. Then you get back to running your business.

What's included

Everything a local business website needs

Built for how your customers actually use it: on their phone, looking for someone local.

Mobile-first design

Looks sharp and loads fast on phones, where most of your customers will find you.

Book or get in touch, everywhere

Clear buttons on every section, linked to your booking app (Booksy, Fresha or similar) or set up for calls, messages and enquiries.

Services and prices

A clear price list your customers can read at a glance, which we update for you on a care plan.

Your own domain

yourbusiness.co.uk registered in your name, and renewed for you every year.

Found on Google

Proper page titles, local keywords, a map and opening hours so you show up when people search for businesses like yours nearby.

Fast and secure

Custom-coded static sites with no plugins to break and nothing to hack, plus a free SSL padlock.

Gallery and reviews

Show off your best work and what your real customers say about you.

Contact and map

Tap-to-call, directions and a contact form so customers can find and reach you.

Handover pack

A simple document listing everything we set up and where it lives. No secrets.

Example sites

Pick the look. We make it yours.

Three styles, shown here as example sites for a fictional barber shop. The same looks work for salons, cafes, trades and shops. Yours gets your name, photos, prices and booking or contact details.

Run a salon, cafe, trade or shop? Ask us and we'll show you how your style would look for your business. Barber shop owners can see our barber page.

FAQ

Good questions, straight answers

Do I really own my website?

Yes. Your domain is registered in your name, and the site's code and files are yours. If you ever want to take it elsewhere, we hand over everything: the code, the domain and a handover pack your next developer can follow.

Why is a monthly plan required?

We host every site we build, so the monthly plan covers keeping yours online: hosting, security, uptime checks and your domain renewal. Hosting is £15 a month. Care (£49 a month) adds up to 4 small edits a month on top.

What happens if I cancel?

Plans are rolling monthly. Give us 30 days' notice and you can cancel any time. When you leave, you take your site and your domain with you: we transfer the domain to you and hand over the site's code with a handover pack your next developer can follow. We never hold your domain or your site hostage.

Can I switch plans?

Yes. You can move between Hosting and Care with 30 days' notice. For example, start on Care while you settle in, then drop to Hosting once your site is how you want it.

Is the domain included?

Yes. Website setup includes your domain (for example yourbusiness.co.uk), registered in your name. We renew it every year as part of your monthly plan, so there's nothing extra to pay or remember.

What counts as a small edit, and what's a bigger change?

Small edits are quick updates such as changing text, prices, photos, staff or opening hours. Care includes up to 4 a month. The Hosting plan doesn't include edits. Bigger changes, like a new page, a new section, a redesign or a new feature, are quoted separately from £45/hour, and you'll always see the price before we start.

Do I need a booking app?

No. If you already use one, like Booksy, Fresha or similar, we connect your site to it. If you'd like online bookings but don't have an app yet, we'll recommend one that suits your business (many have free plans) and help you set it up in your own name, so your bookings and customer list stay yours. If you don't take bookings, your site will have clear ways to call, message or send an enquiry instead.

How quickly can my site be live?

Once we have your details (logo, photos, services and prices), most sites are ready to review within a few days. The biggest factor is usually how quickly you send the details over.

Why custom-coded instead of Wix or Squarespace?

Custom-coded sites load faster, which helps with Google, and there are no plugins to update or break. You don't have to manage a website builder account: we host it and handle the technical side, and you still own the site and domain.
