Services
Everything a small business site needs. Nothing it doesn’t.
Three parts, one monthly relationship. Here’s exactly what each one covers and what it costs.
The package
Build, host, edit.
You pay once to have it made, then a small monthly amount to have it hosted, secured and kept current.
BuildA custom site designed around your business — not a template with your logo dropped in.
- Discovery call to understand your trade, customers and goals
- Custom design, built mobile-first from the ground up
- Copywriting help so the words actually sell your service
- Contact forms, maps, opening hours, galleries — whatever you need
- Two rounds of revisions included before launch
HostFast, secure hosting handled entirely by me. You never touch a control panel.
- Global CDN hosting — pages load in under a second
- SSL certificate, renewed automatically, forever
- Domain setup and management (or bring your own)
- Daily backups and uptime monitoring
- Security patches applied without you lifting a finger
EditPrices changed? New photos? Email me, I quote the exact job, and it's live once you approve it.
- Every change quoted upfront — you approve the figure before I start
- Text, images, prices, opening hours, staff changes
- Small edits from £25; larger work priced the same transparent way
- Direct line to me — no ticket queue, no account manager
- Turnaround: same working day on Professional, 2 days on Starter
Included as standard
On every site, at every price.
These aren’t upsells. They’re the baseline for a site that actually works for a local business.
Mobile-first design
Over half your customers will find you on a phone. Every site is designed for that screen first, then scaled up.
Local SEO foundations
Proper page titles, descriptions, structured data and a Google Business Profile setup so you show up in local searches.
Secure and maintained
SSL, daily backups and monitoring included. If something breaks, I fix it — usually before you notice.
Mobile first, not mobile friendly
Most people will meet you on a phone.
Standing outside in the rain, deciding whether to come in or ring someone else. Every site is designed for that screen first and scaled up afterwards — never the other way round.
How the fees work
Three fees, so you only pay for what you use.
Most agencies bundle everything into one padded monthly retainer. Splitting it out means you are not paying every month for edits you never ask for.
Initial fee
One-off, covers the build
Design, build, copy and launch. Fixed before work starts — agreed on the first call and it does not move.
Monthly fee
Keeps the site running
Hosting, domain, SSL, daily backups, uptime monitoring and security updates. No contract; 30 days' notice.
Edit fee
Quoted per request
Changes are priced on exactly what's needed and quoted upfront. You approve the figure before I touch anything, so there is never a surprise invoice.
Straightforward pricing
Two packages. Three clear fees.
A one-off fee to build it, a small monthly to keep it running, and edits quoted only when you actually need them — approved by you before any work starts.
Starter
Sole traders and one-location businesses
A proper presence for sole traders and small teams who need to be found, look credible and get the phone ringing.

Pay and get startedNot ready to pay yet? Get in touch first.
- Three separate fees, so you only ever pay for what you actually use — no padded retainer covering edits you never ask for.
- Every edit is quoted and approved before work begins. Nothing gets billed that you have not agreed to first.
- No contract — cancel any time with 30 days' notice. The domain is registered in your name and released on request, along with the copy and photos you supplied. The site runs on my hosting, so moving it elsewhere means having your own hosting to move it to.
How it works
Three steps from call to live.
No lengthy onboarding, no 40-page proposal. Most sites go from first conversation to live in two to three weeks.
- 01
A 30-minute call
You tell me what your business does, who you want to reach and what’s not working now. I tell you honestly whether I can help and what it would cost.
- 02
Design and build
I put together a design based on that conversation, you review it, and we adjust. Two rounds of revisions are included. Typical build time is two to three weeks.
- 03
Launch and look after
I handle the domain, hosting, SSL and Google setup. Once you’re live, the monthly fee keeps it online and secure, and any change you want is quoted before I start.

Tell me what your business does and roughly what you need. I’ll point you at the right one — even if that turns out to be the cheapest.
