Services
Bespoke websites for independent businesses, optional care after launch and a few clearly bounded extras. Final scope is always agreed in writing before any work begins.
How it works
You don’t need a technical brief. Each stage ends with something for you to look at and approve before the next one starts.
A free, no-obligation introductory conversation of up to 30 minutes about your business, your customers and what the website needs to do.
A written proposal with the scope, price, timeline, feedback rounds and payment schedule, agreed before work begins.
A design direction and page layouts for you to comment on, refined together before anything is built.
Hand-built, mobile-first, fast and accessible, with a private preview link to review as it comes together.
A careful launch on your domain, a walkthrough, and every account and file handed over in your name.
Look after it yourself, choose an optional care plan, or ask for changes whenever you need them.
One-off website builds
Every site is designed for your business. Packages set clear starting scope, so you know what’s included and what would be extra.
A polished, focused presence for a small business.
Not included: online booking, ecommerce, a content management system or custom databases. These are quoted separately.
Design inspiration: Hearth & Grain café concept
For businesses that win work through their website.
Not included: complex reservations, ecommerce, member areas or an advanced CMS. These are quoted separately.
Design inspiration: Alderwick House concept
For larger or more ambitious briefs.
Not included by default: unlimited revisions or copywriting-heavy projects. These are scoped individually.
Design inspiration: The Copper Table concept
No VAT is charged, as I am not UK VAT-registered. All prices are starting prices in GBP, not fixed quotations. The example websites show design possibilities, not the exact features included at a package's starting price.
Final scope, review rounds, timeline and price are agreed in writing before any work begins. Third-party costs, such as domain registration, are explained upfront.
Good to know
Every package includes preparing your own photos and logo for the web, so they look sharp and load quickly. Where photos are missing, I can source properly licensed stock images and tell you about any licence costs first.
Bespoke illustration and 3D artwork are something I make myself. It can be included where it suits the project, and the amount is agreed in your proposal. Professional photography is arranged separately.
You review the design before it’s built, then the working site before it launches. Your proposal states how many rounds of changes are included at each stage. Corrections to errors in my work against the agreed specification are never charged.
Changes beyond the agreed rounds, or new ideas mid-project, are fine. I’ll tell you if something affects the price or timeline before doing it.
You know your business best, so you usually provide the core information: what you offer, prices, opening hours and contact details. I help shape it so it reads well on screen and suits search engines.
If writing isn’t your thing, full copywriting can be quoted as an extra.
Optional monthly care
A hand-built static site doesn’t need plugin updates or database patches. Care plans focus on what genuinely matters: hosting, certificates, uptime, backups and changes when you need them.
The website build is a one-off project with a price agreed before work starts. Care is an optional monthly service afterwards. You never have to take a care plan, and if you do, the terms for stopping it are agreed up front.
| Essential Care£35 / month | Managed Care£85 / month | Growth Care£195 / month | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hosting and SSL oversight | Included | Included | Included |
| Uptime monitoring | Included | Included | Included |
| Backups, version history and recovery | Included | Included | Included |
| Technical health checks | Quarterly | Monthly | Monthly |
| Agreed content edits | Not included | Up to 1 hour a month | Up to 2 hours a month |
| Performance reporting | Not included | Not included | Included |
| Improvement suggestions | Not included | Not included | Included |
Prices are in GBP and no VAT is charged. Care is optional and offered for websites I've built or agreed to support. Unused edit time does not carry forward. Support is during UK working days, not a 24-hour emergency service. Extra work is quoted separately.
Digital add-ons
Optional extras that draw on my marketing background, each with a defined scope so you know exactly what you’re getting.
GA4, Tag Manager and Search Console configured correctly from day one.
From £295 one-offMeasure the enquiries or bookings that matter, in one clear dashboard.

By arrangementCampaign setup and management, scoped separately for each business. Ad spend is paid directly to Google, never through me.
Scoped quoteSocial media and Google Ads services are quoted individually, depending on capacity and the agreed scope; no 24/7 community management is included. Ad budgets and third-party tools are disclosed and paid separately. Tracking is set up with appropriate UK privacy and consent requirements.
Ownership & FAQ
Your domain and site are set up in your name wherever practical. If you ever move on, you take everything with you.
It depends on the size of the site and how quickly content and feedback come together. Your proposal includes an estimated timeline and the dates where you’ll review the work.
Your proposal sets out the rounds of changes at the design and build stages, so there are no surprises. Unlimited revisions aren’t offered because they rarely make a better site, but you’ll always know before anything costs extra.
Usually you provide the core content and I help shape it. I'll prepare the images you supply for the web. Any bespoke artwork allowance is described in your written proposal; copywriting-heavy projects and photography shoots are quoted separately.
Your domain and hosting accounts are registered in your name wherever practical. The agreed finished site design, content and bespoke code become yours on payment in full, with a permanent licence to any reusable tools I supply and the relevant third-party asset licences. You receive a copy of your site to move elsewhere if you choose.
Static sites are fast, secure and inexpensive to host. Any hosting cost is explained upfront, along with who pays it and whether a care plan covers it.
Yes, as separately quoted work. These aren’t included in the starting packages because they add real complexity and ongoing responsibility.
No. Care plans are optional. Your agreed finished website becomes yours once paid for in full, and you can manage it yourself with a handover walkthrough.
Your proposal sets out the payment schedule, including any deposit, before any work begins. There are no subscriptions unless you choose a care plan.
Small additional tasks start at £50 an hour, billed in 30-minute units. I'll provide a written estimate before work expected to take more than two hours. Larger work is quoted by project.
Just ask. Small changes are quoted individually, or included each month if you’re on a Managed or Growth care plan. Because you own the site, you’re also free to use anyone else.
You get a walkthrough and everything you need to own the site. From there you can manage it yourself, choose a care plan, or get in touch for changes when you need them.
