A designer builds your site from a blank page, not a template. Hosting, your domain, SSL, daily backups and every future change are all in the £50. You see the finished website before you pay a penny.
If you have started searching for a website designer in Cockenzie and Port Seton, you will have found wildly different prices. They are all "correct", they just buy very different things. Here is the map.
Wix, Squarespace and friends. Cheap and instant, but you are the designer, the copywriter and the IT department. Most owners lose several weekends and end up with a site that looks like a template, because it is one.
Often great value if you find a good one with availability. Budget separately for hosting, the domain, and £60 to £120 an hour for changes after launch, which is where the quiet costs live.
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.
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.
No themes, no page builders. Your site is designed around what your Cockenzie and Port Seton customers need to see before they call, and it will not look like anyone else's.
Most of your Cockenzie and Port Seton customers will find you on a phone. Every site is designed on a phone screen first: fast loading, readable without zooming, and a phone number a thumb can actually hit.
Your brief takes ten minutes. Seven days later you review a finished website, then ask for as many changes as you like. We keep going until you are happy, at no extra cost, ever.
The build costs you nothing. If the finished site is not right and we cannot fix it, you owe us nothing and off you go. That is why we have to be good.
Hosting, domain, SSL, backups, security and every content change are in the price. Compare that with £60 to £120 an hour for changes after a traditional build.
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.
Cockenzie and Port Seton is exactly the kind of place we built this service for: proper businesses that deserve better than a template but should not have to fund an agency's office to get it.
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.
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.
Bespoke, from a blank page. No themes and no page builders. The structure, the words and the design are built around your business, which is why no two of our sites look alike.
It is not cheaper work, it is a different model. No office, no account managers, no sales team, and a hard cap of 250 clients so quality never slips. You get the same bespoke design; you just pay for the website rather than the overheads.
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.
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.
