You take it on

We deploy it, point the domain, and hand over the code, accounts and logins — then walk you through updating it. Nothing owed after that, nothing signed.

02 — Who we build for
Every business sells differently. So every site is built around yours.
A salon client wants prices and a booking button. Someone with a burst pipe wants a number that dials. We start from how your customers decide, not from a template.

03 — If this sounds familiar
Most underperforming websites start with good intentions.
- 01
The drag-and-drop build
Started on a Sunday night, 80% finished, still live. Text that doesn’t line up, a form nobody’s tested, four seconds to load on a phone. - 02
A bought theme, bent to fit
Designed for a yoga studio in California, now selling scaffolding in Sunderland — with stock photos of somebody else’s team. - 03
Facebook doing a website’s job
Prices buried in a comment from March, hours in an expired story, and nothing at all when somebody searches your trade. - 04
The WordPress site you’ve stopped touching
Nineteen plugins deep, slow to load, nagging about updates — and changing one line means guessing which builder made it. - 05
The “free” website you can’t leave
Built for nothing on someone else’s platform — then you find it only lives there. Stay and you pay whatever they decide, forever. Leave and you lose the site, the content, sometimes even the domain.
Each one costs the same thing: somebody searches for exactly what your business does, finds a competitor who looks more capable, and rings them instead.
04 — What you get
£995
one amount · 25% deposit to start · no VAT
That’s the whole price, and we’re upfront about every cost. Everything on the right is included, anything optional is priced before you commit, and nothing gets added at the end.
Book a slotDesign and build
- 01included
Up to 10 pages, agreed up front
We work out the pages and what goes on each one together, and agree the scope before any design starts — enough to sell what you do properly.
- 02included
A proper design system first
Type, colour, spacing and buttons signed off before any code, so every page hangs together. It’s yours to keep, too: the same system works for signage, social posts, menus, vans — anywhere the business shows up.
- 03included
Modern, mobile-first design
Thumb-sized tap targets and a fast first load, because most customers meet you one-handed.
- 04included
Accessible to everyone
Built to WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility standards: readable contrast, clear text, full keyboard and screen-reader support. Nobody gets shut out — and search engines reward it too.
Words and pictures
- 05included
The words worked out together
We draft, you mark it up, we iterate until it sounds like you.
- 06included
Your photos, properly treated
Cropped, straightened and colour-matched. Good phone photos are genuinely enough.
Found, and yours
- 07included
Structured to be found — by Google and AI
Clean headings, schema, sitemap and fast Core Web Vitals.
- 08included
Google Business Profile tidied
Hours, photos, and the map pin in the right place.
- 09included
Your domain, included
We move yours across or register a new one. The DNS is our problem.
After that, looking after it is optional — do it yourself, or £35 a month and we keep it running.
05 — How it works
Five steps. You see it before it’s built.
- 01
We talk
What you do, who you want ringing you, and what you’ve already got — old site, logo, colours.
- 02
You see it designed
A design system first, then full visuals of every page on desktop and phone.
- 03
We settle it, then build
Your changes go into the design, not half-built code. Once signed off, we write it.
- 04
It goes live
Domain pointed, tested on real phones and devices, Google and LLMs told.
- 05
Monitor and next steps
We don’t launch and leave. We watch how it performs — speed, Core Web Vitals, search visibility — then agree the next steps with you.
Already got brand work? We skip ahead. Starting from nothing? We spend longer at step one. The shape flexes to suit you.
06 — The content
Don’t worry about the content.
We go over what the business does, who you want to reach, and what they should do when they land on the page.
That conversation is the brief.
- Got copy already?
- We keep what works, cut what doesn’t, and rewrite the rest so it reads well and is structured for search.
- Want to write it?
- Send it over and we’ll edit it and fit it in.
- Dreading it?
- Say so on the call and we’ll take it off your hands entirely.
07 — After it’s live
Looking after it is optional.
The £995 ends with a finished site, live on your domain. What happens next is your call — neither way ties you in.
We look after it
£35 / month
- Hosting, SSL and nightly backups
- Security patches applied
- Uptime and speed watched
- Small changes — prices, hours, photos
- Someone to ring when something looks wrong
Your ongoing support partner — here to advise, guide and make changes as the business grows. Anything bigger is priced before we start.
No contract either way · one month’s notice · you own everything
* Taking it on yourself means holding your own accounts — GitHub for the code, plus hosting and your domain. We set them up with you at handover.
08 — Who we are
A small team in the North East. Twenty years of building for the web.
Most of that was inside agencies, where a product manager, an account manager, a salesperson and a city-centre office all got loaded onto the quote. None of it is needed to build a good website for a small business. Take it away and you’re left with the people who design and write the code.

995£995
design + code
You speak to the engineers doing the work. No account manager, no ticket queue.
Because it’s the fair price for the work, and nothing else. “Free” website companies make their money later: a monthly fee that never ends, a site locked to their platform, and a template shared with everyone else in your trade. At the other end, agencies quote £5,000+ and a minimum support contract, because they’re carrying account managers, salespeople and a city-centre lease. £995 pays for a few days of proper design and engineering, and the site is yours.
The scope — and that’s what keeps it fair. £995 buys a bespoke website built to get your business found and chosen: up to 10 pages, designed around your customers, fast, accessible and properly set up for search. Need more on top — an online shop, a booking system, customer logins? We build those too, and quote for them up front, so you know the full cost before anything starts.
If you just need your hours and number online by Friday, take it. But ask who owns it, what happens if you stop paying, and what it costs to use your own domain. Free is usually rented — and a template means looking like everyone else in your trade.
Yes. Our website audit costs £95: we test your site’s speed, how it works on phones, accessibility, how it shows up on Google and AI search, and how easily people can get in touch, then send a written report with every fix in priority order. If you go ahead with a new site with us, the £95 comes off the £995.
You do. The design, code, words, photos and domain are all yours. If you leave, we zip the lot up and send it over.
Everything starts from the design system — type, colour, spacing and layout — which we check and refine with you before you sign it off. The page designs are built on that, and we iterate on those with you too. If it still isn’t right for you, we shake hands and stop there. Your 25% deposit covers the work done up to that point, and nothing more is owed.
No. Ring us, ask whatever you like, decide afterwards. The deposit is only taken once you’ve booked a slot and we start. If you’re local, we can even grab a coffee and talk it through in person.
Yes, if you’d like to. Take it on for a one-off £195 and we hand over everything and walk you through updating it. Or leave it with us for £35 a month and we make the changes for you — prices, hours, photos — and advise on what to do next.

We keep a small number of builds running at once, so the queue is real. No payment now — we’ll come back the same day to confirm and take the deposit.
