Need more than the essentials? Online shops, booking systems, customer accounts, new branding and extensive content work need their own scope. Domain fees, paid software and advertising spend are separate. We identify these costs before you commit.
Before we begin
The small print, in plain English.
What does the first year cost?+
£495 setup plus 12 monthly payments of £149: £2,283 in total, before any applicable VAT. The setup payment starts the project; monthly billing starts when your website launches. The agreed scope and payment schedule are written into your proposal.
What do you need from me?+
Your business details, services, logo if you have one, and the words and photographs you want to use. I help organise and edit that material. Original copywriting, photography and a new brand identity can be scoped separately.
What counts as a monthly change?+
Small changes to existing pages: updating service descriptions, prices, opening hours, images or team details. The plan includes up to one hour per month, with no rollover. New pages, redesigns and new functionality are quoted before work begins.
Who owns the website and domain?+
Your domain is registered in your name. After the initial 12-month term has been paid in full, the website design and source files are yours to take elsewhere. Third-party software and media remain subject to their own licences. Ownership and handover are recorded in your proposal.
What happens after the first 12 months?+
Continue the managed service at £149 per month on a rolling basis, or end it with 30 days’ notice and arrange hosting elsewhere. The ongoing fee covers the care and monthly change allowance. There is no automatic redesign or new build included.
Can I leave during the initial term?+
The plan has a 12-month initial commitment. If you want to end it early and take the website with you, the remaining initial-term payments become payable. The exact cancellation and handover terms are provided before you agree to the project.
Are there other costs?+
Domain registration and renewals, paid software subscriptions, specialist integrations and advertising spend are separate. Online shops, customer accounts, booking systems and bespoke software are outside this website plan. Any extras and applicable VAT are made clear in your proposal.
Will the website bring me more customers?+
The website will make your services, evidence and enquiry route easier to use. Enquiry volume also depends on demand, traffic, your offer and follow-up. The plan includes search foundations; ongoing SEO campaigns, advertising and guaranteed rankings or sales are not included.
