Web design · Carlisle, Cumbria

A proper website for your Carlisle business, £50 a month

We design, write and build a bespoke website for your Carlisle business, then host it, secure it and update it forever. One monthly price, nothing up front, and you only start paying when you have signed off the finished site.

Your options for web design in Carlisle

If you have started searching for a website designer in Carlisle, you will have found wildly different prices. They are all "correct", they just buy very different things. Here is the map.

DIY website builder
£240–£360 a year

The advertised price looks tiny until you add a domain, email and the plan that removes their branding. The real cost is your evenings, and the result only ever looks as good as the template you started from.

Local freelancer
£800–£3,000 up front

A good freelancer can do lovely work. You pay up front, hosting and updates are usually extra, and when they get busy or move on, so does your support. Changes after launch typically bill by the hour.

Design agency
£2,500–£10,000 up front

Agencies do beautiful work with proper process, and they price accordingly. For a five page small business site you are usually funding their office and account managers as much as your website.

Digital Market Stall
£50 a month, all in

One flat price that covers the design, the build, the hosting, the domain and every change you ever ask for. Cancel any month. Want to own it outright later? A one-off £600 buys the whole thing.

The bit where we show off, briefly

Genuinely bespoke, never a template

A designer starts from a blank page and structures the site around your business, your customers and what makes them pick up the phone. Put two of our sites side by side and they look nothing alike.

You pay nothing until you sign off

We carry the risk, not you. No deposit, no setup fee. The £50 a month starts only when you have approved the finished site, and if you do not love it you simply walk away.

Finished in 7 days, unlimited revisions

You see the first full version within a week of your brief, and revisions are unlimited and free, before launch and forever after it.

Built to convert, mobile first

Fast load times, clean layouts and tap targets that work on a phone in a van, because that is where your customers are. Pretty is nice; converting visitors into calls is the job.

Everything included, no surprise invoices

UK hosting, your domain name registered and renewed, SSL, daily backups, security patches and malware scans, all inside the £50. Updating your prices or photos never costs extra.

No contract, and a £600 exit door

Cancel in any month, no questions, and your logo, photos and content stay yours. Want to own the whole site, domain and code? A one-off £600 buyout and it all transfers to you.

Web design in Carlisle: honest answers

How much does web design cost in Carlisle?

A fair benchmark for a small business site: DIY builders cost £240 to £360 a year plus your own time, freelancers typically charge £800 to £3,000 up front, and agencies £2,500 to £10,000, with hosting and changes billed on top. We charge £50 a month with no setup fee, and design, hosting, domain, SSL, backups and unlimited changes are all included.

What happens if I want to leave?

There is no contract, so you can cancel in any month and keep your logo, content and photos. If you want the website itself, a one-off £600 buyout transfers the site, the domain and the code to you completely.

Can I not just build it myself on Wix or Squarespace?

You can, and for some businesses that is the right call. Be honest about the cost though: the plans that remove their branding cost £240 to £360 a year, and the design, writing and upkeep are all evenings you will not get back. If the result does not convert visitors into calls, it is not cheap, it is just inexpensive.

When do I start paying?

Only after you have reviewed the finished website, asked for any changes you want, and signed it off. No deposit, no setup fee, nothing up front. If you do not approve it, you pay nothing at all.

Will my website show up when people search in Carlisle?

We build every site with clean, fast code, proper page titles and descriptions, and the local signals search engines look for. No one can honestly guarantee rankings, but we make sure nothing about your site holds it back, and being quick and mobile-friendly is half the battle.

What is included in the £50 a month?

The design and build, the copywriting, UK hosting, your domain name registered and renewed, SSL, daily backups, security patches, malware scans, and every content change you ever ask for. There are no extras to buy and no hourly rates.
