Your site is yours
Your site goes live on your own domain.
Then it's your choice
I recommend the care plan, for £40 a month, so I look after everything for you. If you'd rather arrange your own hosting, I can hand over your site's files instead.
Your domain
You buy your domain in your own name (usually around £10 to £20 a year), so it's always yours. I'll guide you through it in a few minutes and handle all the setup. Already have one? Just give me access and I'll do the rest.
Need more than 10 pages? No problem. Get in touch and I'll quote for your site.
What I'll need from you
To get your site built quickly, it helps to have these ready:
- Your business name and logo, if you have one
- The services you offer, and prices if you'd like them shown
- The areas you cover and your opening hours
- How customers should contact you (phone, email, WhatsApp)
- Photos you'd like to include, like your work, your team or your premises
- Any reviews or testimonials you'd like to include
- Links to your social media or current website
- Access to your domain, or I'll help you buy one in your own name
Don't worry if you don't have everything. I can help write the words, and photos from your phone are fine.
What's included in every build
- Custom design built around your business (not a template), up to 10 pages
- Mobile-first, fast-loading build
- Click-to-call, Google Maps location, reviews and a photo gallery
- Enquiry form that sends straight to your inbox

- Clear, structured pages that search engines and AI assistants can read properly
- A simple editor so you can update key content yourself
- Connecting your own domain (you buy it and you own it)
- Help setting up business email (you pay your email provider)

Questions you might have
Why "from £1,500"?
£1,500 covers a custom site of up to 10 pages with everything listed here. If your site needs more pages or more complex features, I'll quote for it before you book in, so you always know the price first.
When do I pay?
The homepage demo is free. If you'd like to go ahead, you pay 50% to book in and the rest at launch, once you're happy with your site.
Do I have to have the care plan?
No, but I'd recommend it: I'll keep your site running and make changes for you, so you don't have to think about it. If you'd rather arrange your own hosting, I can hand over your site's files on request. You'd then pay your hosting provider directly, and any changes I make later are quoted per job.
Can I switch later?
Yes. If you arranged your own hosting, you can join the care plan any time. If you're on the care plan, you can leave with 30 days' notice and take your site with you.
Is there a contract?
No long contract. The care plan runs month to month, and you can cancel any time with 30 days' notice.
What counts as a small update?
The care plan includes up to 1 hour of changes each month, like changing text, adding photos, or updating prices or opening hours. You can send me photos of finished work by message or email and I'll add them. Unused time doesn't carry over to the next month. For anything bigger, like new features or new kinds of section, I'll quote first, so you always know the price.
What if I need more than 10 pages?
The build covers up to 10 pages. Pages that show your work, like case studies, don't count towards the 10, and we'll agree how many to include when we plan your site. If you need more pages, get in touch and I'll quote for your site.
Who sorts out the domain?
You buy your domain in your own name (usually around £10 to £20 a year), so it's always yours. I'll guide you through it in a few minutes and handle all the setup. Already have one? Just give me access and I'll do the rest.
What's in the free demo?
I'll put together a demo of your homepage, so you can see how your site could look before you pay anything. It's on a private preview link, and there's no obligation at all.
Things I quote for separately
These aren't part of the build or the care plan, but I'm happy to help with them. You'll always know the price first.
- New features or new kinds of section, like booking systems or custom layouts
- Full online shops (simple selling, like a few products, deposits or gift vouchers, is something we can talk about)
- Booking systems and business automation
- Business card design
- Domain and email costs (paid directly by you)
