The small print, in large print

Before it goes live: You see your finished design on your phone and approve it before anything goes live, with two full rounds of changes included. Nothing launches until you are happy with it. The Monthly plan runs for 12 months from launch.
Who owns the website?: On Monthly, you pay the website off as you go: we own and run it while you are paying, and after 24 monthly payments it becomes yours and the monthly drops to £49 for hosting and care, with no minimum term. Your domain, words and photos are yours from day one. On Own It and Pro, you own the website outright once the build is paid for. Once a website is yours, cancel the monthly service and it is still yours - we hand over everything so you can host it anywhere.
Do I ever own it on Monthly?: Yes. Yours after 24 monthly payments, then £49 a month. Leave before then and the site comes offline, but your domain, words and photos always go with you.
Who owns the domain?: Your domain is registered in your name. If you already have one, we connect it; if not, we set one up for you and hand over the login.
What counts as a change?: A change is a small content or layout edit - new opening hours, a swapped photo, a new service added, a reworded paragraph. Redesigns and new pages are quoted separately.
Can I cancel?: The Monthly plan is a 12-month plan, then one month’s notice any time after that. Leave inside the 12 months and the remaining monthly fees for the term are payable. Pro works the same way, on a 12-month plan. Own It has no minimum term and no exit fee.
What happens if I stop paying?: On Monthly, if you stop before 24 monthly payments, the site comes offline when the plan ends and we send you your domain, words and photos so they can go into a new site. After 24 payments, and on Own It and Pro, the website is yours: stop the monthly service and we hand over the complete site so you can move it to any host.
What does hosting cover?: Managed hosting, SSL certificate, uptime monitoring, security updates and daily backups.
How do I pay?: The setup fee is paid when you book, and it starts the design. Monthly fees are collected by Direct Debit, covered by the Direct Debit Guarantee, from the day your site goes live.
What support do I get?: WhatsApp and email support from the person who built your site, usually answered the same working day.
How long does it take?: We aim to have you live within 3 working days of your 15-minute call and your approval of the design.

Questions

Pricing questions

What do I get for £99 a month?

You get a website designed from scratch for your business, with every word written for you, and everything needed to keep it running: up to 12 pages, a blog section, tap-to-call on every page, quote and booking-request forms that reach your phone, on-page SEO, Google Business Profile setup, hosting, SSL, monitoring, daily backups and two small changes a month. On the Monthly plan there is a one-off £299 setup fee when you book.

Do I see the website before it goes live?

Yes. You see your finished design on your phone and approve it before anything goes live, with two full rounds of changes included. Nothing launches until you are happy with it. The Monthly plan runs for 12 months from launch. The £299 setup fee is paid when you book, and your monthly payments start the day the site goes live.

Should I pick Monthly or Own It?

Pick Monthly if you would rather not find a lump sum: £299 to set up and £99 a month for 12 months, then rolling, and after 24 monthly payments the website is yours and the monthly drops to £49. Pick Own It if you can pay £1,795 once and want the website to be yours from launch, with a lower monthly of £49 and no minimum term. Both are designed from scratch with every word written for you and two changes a month; Own It is the bigger build, with up to 25 pages against 12 and a page for each area you cover.

What if I do not like the design?

Then you do not pay. You see your finished design on your phone and approve it before anything goes live, with two full rounds of changes included. Nothing launches until you are happy with it. The Monthly plan runs for 12 months from launch. In practice we show you the design early, change what you want changed, and only switch the site on once you are happy with it.

What counts as a small change?

A change is a small content or layout edit - new opening hours, a swapped photo, a new service added, a reworded paragraph. Redesigns and new pages are quoted separately.

Do I own my website?

On Monthly, you pay the website off as you go: we own and run it while you are paying, and after 24 monthly payments it becomes yours and the monthly drops to £49 for hosting and care, with no minimum term. Your domain, words and photos are yours from day one. On Own It and Pro, you own the website outright once the build is paid for. Once a website is yours, cancel the monthly service and it is still yours - we hand over everything so you can host it anywhere. Your domain is registered in your name. If you already have one, we connect it; if not, we set one up for you and hand over the login.

Can I cancel?

The Monthly plan is a 12-month plan, then one month’s notice any time after that. Leave inside the 12 months and the remaining monthly fees for the term are payable. Pro works the same way, on a 12-month plan. Own It has no minimum term and no exit fee. On Monthly, if you stop before 24 monthly payments, the site comes offline when the plan ends and we send you your domain, words and photos so they can go into a new site. After 24 payments, and on Own It and Pro, the website is yours: stop the monthly service and we hand over the complete site so you can move it to any host.

Are there any hidden costs?

No. The price on your plan is the price: the monthly fee and, on Own It or Pro, the one-off build fee. Your domain name is included in the setup and registered in your name. Anything beyond your plan - extra pages, extra changes, bolt-ons like missed-call text back at £25 a month - is agreed with you before we do it, never added afterwards.

Why is this so much cheaper than an agency?

Because we have built the process to be fast rather than because we cut corners. Most UK agencies quote thousands of pounds for a small business website, much of which pays for account managers, discovery workshops and offices. We have none of those, we design with modern tools that let one person do in days what used to take weeks, and we make our money over years of hosting rather than in one big invoice.

When do I start paying?

The setup fee is paid when you book, and it starts the design. Monthly fees are collected by Direct Debit, covered by the Direct Debit Guarantee, from the day your site goes live. On Own It, the build fee is split in two halves - when you book and at launch.

What are bolt-ons?

Bolt-ons are optional monthly extras that win you more jobs: missed-call text back (£25), a review booster (£15), Google Business Profile management (£29), a local SEO pack (£49) and business email (£5 per mailbox). Add or remove any of them whenever you like.
