Most Craigmillar businesses get quoted thousands up front for a website. We flipped it: we build first, you approve, then it is £50 a month with design, hosting, domain and unlimited changes all included.
Every Craigmillar business wanting a website has four realistic routes. We are one of them, so read the other three carefully; if one suits you better, take it.
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.
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.
The full-service route. Excellent if you have the budget, but most quotes for a small business site land between £3,000 and £4,000 before hosting, care plans and change fees are added.
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.
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 see the first full version within a week of your brief, and revisions are unlimited and free, before launch and forever after it.
We have to earn your £50 every single month, because you can leave whenever you like. And if you ever want full ownership, £600 buys the site, the domain and the code outright.
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.
Most of your Craigmillar 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.
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.
Craigmillar 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.
Seven days from brief to finished site. Your brief takes about ten minutes, a designer builds the site from scratch, and a week later you are reviewing the real thing, not a mock-up.
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.
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.
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.
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.
