Nothing to move and nothing to break, so this is the easy case either way.
Instant website
£5/month
Nothing to pay up front. Tell it about your business and it builds you a proper website in seconds. I register your domain, host it and look after it, all inside the monthly price.
Right for you if you mainly need to be findable, credible and easy to contact.
mailLaunching soon. Register your interest and I'll email you the day it opens.
Built for you
from £499
Plus a £250 requirements session, where we work out your pages, content, look and goals from a blank page. After that the prices are the same as a redesign.
Right for you if the website is part of how you'll win work from day one.
brush I've got one, but it's not working
Now there's a live site to move: your domain has to be repointed without knocking out your email, and the search standing you've built up needs carrying across. That's the part that costs money.
Instant replacement
£99 once, then £5/month
The cheap way across. The new site is built automatically; the £99 covers me moving your domain over by hand so nothing breaks. No cancellation fee, because the setup is already paid for.
Right for you if the current site is just old and embarrassing, and you want it replaced without spending hundreds.

Proper redesign
from £499
Paid once, owned outright. Rebuilt around your business after a £95 scoping consultation, which is credited against the job. Hosting optional at £55/month.
Right for you if people research you before they buy, or you need a shop, bookings or anything with moving parts.
Cheap one or proper one?
Whichever situation you're in, that's the actual decision, and it comes down to how much the website has to do for you.
The automatic option is enough if you mainly need to exist online: somewhere people can find you, see what you do and get in touch. That's most sole traders and plenty of small businesses, and spending several hundred pounds on it would be a waste of your money. I'd rather say so than take it.
Pay for the proper one when the website is doing real work. When people research you before they buy, when you're competing on looking credible, or when you need a shop, bookings or anything with moving parts, the automatic option won't cut it.
You can also start automatic and move up later. Nothing is wasted: you keep the site and the domain either way.
What's genuinely the same either way
- You own it. Both options leave you with the website and the domain in your name, whatever happens afterwards.
- No lock-in. Neither one traps you, and nobody can switch your website off.
- Published prices. No "request a quote", on either side.
- SEO built in. Structure, speed and page titles are done properly on both, never sold as an extra.
And the honest difference
The automatic option assembles a good, fast, sensible website without me designing it for you. It's genuinely decent, and for a lot of businesses it's all the website they need.
The paid option is me: thinking about your business, your customers and how the thing should actually work. That's the whole difference, and it's why one costs a few pounds a month and the other starts at £499.
Still not sure?
A free 15-minute call, and I'll tell you which one I'd pick in your position. Including when that's the cheaper one.
