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.
Before you choose anyone, including us, it is worth knowing what web design actually costs in the UK right now. Here is the honest picture for a typical small business site in Crook.
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.
Bespoke design from a blank page, copy written for you, UK hosting, your domain, SSL, daily backups and unlimited changes. No setup fee, no contract, and you pay nothing until you approve the finished site.
No themes, no page builders. Your site is designed around what your Crook customers need to see before they call, and it will not look like anyone else's.
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.
Most of your Crook 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.
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.
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.
From one-person trades to established family firms, Crook businesses use us because the site earns its keep: clear about what you do, quick to load, easy to find, and always up to date because updates cost nothing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
