Most Houghton Regis 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 Houghton Regis, 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 Houghton Regis customers need to see before they call, and it will not look like anyone else's.
Most of your Houghton Regis 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.
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.
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 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.
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.
Houghton Regis 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.
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.
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.
