Tell us about your Gorgie business in a ten minute brief. Seven days later you review a finished, bespoke website. Unlimited changes until you love it, and only then does the £50 a month start.
If you have started searching for a website designer in Gorgie, 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.
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 Gorgie 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 Gorgie 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.
You see the first full version within a week of your brief, and revisions are unlimited and free, before launch and forever after it.
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.
From one-person trades to established family firms, Gorgie 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.
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.
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.
Yes. We are a UK service and we design, build and manage websites for independent businesses in Gorgie and right across the country. Everything happens by email and phone around your working day, which most owners prefer to meetings anyway.
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.
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.
