WHAT YOU ACTUALLY GET

Cheap should describe the bill. Not the finished site.

We standardise the boring technical parts. The bit your customers see still gets proper attention: hierarchy, wording, calls to action, mobile layout and the overall feel of the business.

Designed for the business

Not the same template with a new logo.

We help with the words

You provide the facts. We shape the page.

Search-ready structure

Titles, metadata support and internal linking.

WHY IT COSTS LESS

We cut the expensive process around the website. Not the useful work inside it.

WE CUT

Discovery workshops

Account-management layers

Weeks of meetings

Rebuilding the same technical basics

Unlimited revision loops

WE KEEP

Good design

Clear copy

Responsive build quality

SEO foundations

Ownership of the finished site

The result?

A controlled build process, lower production cost and a website that still looks like somebody cared.

Here’s what the low-cost promise looks like when it goes live.

Kay9 Adventures is a real dog-walking business serving Southport and the surrounding area. We built the site to the scope and process behind our £349 Local package — rather than creating a special showcase site with an agency-sized budget.

WORKING PROPOSITION SITE · NOT A CLIENT CLAIM

Same build process. Nothing like Kay9.

Northline Electrical is a fully working demonstration website for a fictional Newcastle electrician. We built it to prove that a streamlined low-cost build does not mean reusing the same visual template.

Same production model. Three more completely different visual directions.

Landscaping, accountancy and beauty are now complete working WordPress demonstrations — built to show that the framework underneath does not dictate what the customer sees.

COMPARE WHAT YOU ACTUALLY GET

A cheap first invoice is not the same as a search-ready website.

We are not going to pretend a £99 template site can never cost less. It can. The difference is what happens before your site is handed over.

LCWD includes the launch work that budget builds often leave for the customer to discover later.

OUR LAUNCH CHECKLIST

We do not just press Publish.

Before handover we make sure the basic search infrastructure is actually in place. That does not guarantee rankings — nobody can honestly promise that — but it means Google is not being asked to work out a half-finished site by itself.

✓ SEO titles & meta descriptions ✓ XML sitemap ✓ Core schema markup ✓ Google Search Console setup ✓ Sitemap submitted to Google ✓ Indexing request for core pages ✓ Canonical & robots checks ✓ Mobile / performance check

Comparison describes common proposition types rather than every supplier. Always check exactly what a provider includes and whether you own the finished website.

A SHORTER PROCESS

Brief. Plan. Build. Launch.

The price only works because the process stays controlled. That is a feature, not a corner being cut.

BriefYou tell us what the business does and what the website needs to achieve.
PlanWe map pages, messages, search intent and calls to action before building.
BuildDesign, copy, mobile behaviour and technical foundations come together.
LaunchOne structured review round, agreed changes and final launch checks.
BUILT FOR SMALL BUSINESSES

Especially useful when the website needs to turn visits into enquiries.

NO FINE PRINT

The obvious questions, answered.

If something important is vague before you buy, the pricing is not really transparent.

Do I own the website?+

Yes. Once the agreed build is paid for, the website and the content we create for it are yours. Managed hosting is optional.

How can you build a proper website for £249?+

By standardising the underlying technical framework and keeping the scope controlled. We spend the time on the customer-facing design, content and structure.

Does the price include SEO?+

It includes technical and on-page foundations. Ongoing competitive SEO, link acquisition and sustained content campaigns are separate.

Will my site look like everyone else’s?+

No. The framework underneath is reusable; the visual language, layout, hierarchy, content and calls to action are adapted to the business.

Do I have to use your hosting?+

No. Managed hosting is offered for convenience. You can move the website to another suitable WordPress host.

READY WHEN YOU ARE

Spend less on the website. Not on how your business looks.
