Starter

Sole traders, childminders, trades

from £750
  • Up to 5 pages For example Home, About, Services, Gallery and Contact. Enough for most sole traders. Need more later? Extra pages are priced as an add-on.
  • Mobile-friendly design Most people will find you on their phone. Every page is built to look right and load fast on phones, tablets and desktops.
  • Contact form A simple form on your site that sends enquiries straight to your email, with spam protection so you only see real messages.
  • Basic SEO and Google listing SEO means search engine optimisation: setting up your site so Google understands what you do and where you are, so local customers can find you. We also set up your free Google Business Profile, the box with your map, hours and reviews that appears when people search for you.
  • 1 round of revisions After you've seen the first draft, send us all your changes in one go and we'll make them. Fixing anything that's broken is always free.
  • Ready in about 2 weeks From the day we have your text, logo and photos. Delays in sending content are the usual reason a site takes longer.

Standard

Small companies and creatives

from £1,500
  • Up to 10 pages Room for separate pages on each service, a team page, case studies or a news section, as well as the basics.
  • Custom design to your brand Not a template. Colours, fonts and layout chosen to match your logo and the feel of your business, so the site looks like you.
  • Gallery, blog or news section A place to show your work or share updates. You pick one; the others can be added as extras.
  • Visitor analytics Privacy-friendly stats on how many people visit, where they come from and which pages they read, without cookie banners.
  • 2 rounds of revisions Two chances to review the draft and send us your changes. Fixing anything that's broken is always free.
  • Ready in 3 to 4 weeks From the day we have your text, logo and photos. Custom design takes a little longer than Starter because we show you a design first.

Organisations needing more

from £2,500
  • Everything in Standard All the pages, custom design, gallery or blog, analytics and revisions from the Standard package are included.
  • Online bookings or enquiries Let customers book a slot, request a quote or make a detailed enquiry directly from your site, with confirmations sent to you both.
  • Edit your own content A simple editor so you can change text, prices and photos yourself without needing us, or any technical knowledge.
  • Integrations (email, payments) Connect your site to the tools you use: newsletter sign-ups, taking payments online, or sending enquiries into a spreadsheet or CRM.
  • We write the words for you Not sure what to say, or no time to write it? We interview you, draft every page in your voice and refine it with you until it reads well.
