Most Lauder 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.
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 Lauder.
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.
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.
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.
Most of your Lauder 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 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.
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.
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.
Lauder 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 Lauder and right across the country. Everything happens by email and phone around your working day, which most owners prefer to meetings anyway.
