Most East Grinstead 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.
If you have started searching for a website designer in East Grinstead, 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.
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.
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.
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 East Grinstead customers need to see before they call, and it will not look like anyone else's.
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.
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.
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.
Most of your East Grinstead 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.
East Grinstead 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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes. We are a UK service and we design, build and manage websites for independent businesses in East Grinstead and right across the country. Everything happens by email and phone around your working day, which most owners prefer to meetings anyway.
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.
