Most Royston 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.
Every Royston business wanting a website has four realistic routes. We are one of them, so read the other three carefully; if one suits you better, take it.
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.
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.
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.
No themes, no page builders. Your site is designed around what your Royston customers need to see before they call, and it will not look like anyone else's.
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.
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.
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.
Fast load times, clean layouts and tap targets that work on a phone in a van, because that is where your customers are. Pretty is nice; converting visitors into calls is the job.
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.
We build for trades, salons, cafés and restaurants, independent shops, consultants, coaches and every other kind of independent business in Royston and across Hertfordshire. If your customers search for what you do in Royston, your website should be the one that convinces them.
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.
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.
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.
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.
