Two ways to get a website. The same monthly plans either way.
Rent a Pay Monthly Website, or buy your website outright. Either way, the same monthly plans keep it hosted, found and up to date. Every price we charge is on this page.
Rent it or own it
It is the same studio and the same build quality either way. The only differences are how you pay for the build and who owns the site.

In your first year of trading, or opening within the next six months? Your Pay Monthly Website setup is £0 instead of £299, with a first-year price of £25, £59 or £235 a month for 12 months, then the standard price. See websites for new businesses.
The same monthly plans either way
Renting? Add the £299 setup. Own a hand-coded site we built? Same plans, no setup fee. WordPress and other CMS sites go on a care plan instead. Every tier includes a 1 GB email mailbox, and each tier includes everything in the one before it.

A change is a small edit, like updating your prices, swapping a photo or changing your opening hours. Most take under 30 minutes. Local and Complete SEO include change time each month (30 and 60 minutes); beyond that, and on Site & Hosting, it is £30 per 30 minutes. Fixes to anything we built are free. New pages are £75 each, one-off, and new features are quoted first. Want to make changes yourself? Choose a site you own with an editor: a Standard build has a blog or news page you edit yourself, and a Growth build has a CMS for editing the whole site. Editing it yourself costs nothing.
Monthly prices are for a single-location business. No VAT to add. The price you see is the price you pay.
Build prices, if you want to own it
Fixed prices, confirmed after a free 30-minute call. The site, its code and the content we wrote for it are yours the day you pay.
Starter
Up to 5 hand-coded pages, local SEO foundation, contact form
from£750
For new and small businesses that need a fast, credible presence. We handle updates for you; there is no self-editing CMS at this tier.
Standard
Up to 10 pages, a blog or news page you edit yourself
from£1,500
For growing businesses that want to post news, offers or articles without calling us.
Growth
10-20 pages, CMS, blog, lead forms
from£3,500
For established firms that need to publish and capture leads themselves.
Premium
Custom CMS, integrations, design system
from£6,500
For businesses with real complexity: portals, integrations and custom features.
Online shops and CMS builds start as a Growth build: see e-commerce and CMS solutions. Once live, they are looked after on a care plan. CRM systems and custom platforms are quoted like Premium. Booking systems are quoted separately, on top of the website. We can connect the one you already use or build one, as we did for Pilates with Valerie. Extra pages are £75 each, one-off, on a rented site or one you own. More detail on our web design page.

Book a free chatWordPress, CMS or a site built elsewhere?
Hand-coded sites we build on our own platform, including the blog on a Standard build, stay on the monthly plans. Care plans are for WordPress and other off-the-shelf CMS sites, whoever built them, and that includes a Growth build, whose CMS is WordPress or a headless CMS such as Sanity or Strapi. The CMS, its themes and its plugins need regular updates and security work, which is what a care plan pays for. SEO & AI Search works on any site.

About SEO & AI Search
What you own, in plain words
On every plan: your domain, the content and photos you supply, and your Google Business Profile are yours. We never hold them hostage.
Own it: the site, its code and the content we wrote for it are yours the day you pay. Stock images stay covered by their licence for use on that site. Host it with us or anywhere else.
Rent it: while you rent a Pay Monthly Website we build, host and look after the site, and the code, the content we wrote and images we created stay ours. Buy it out any time for £550 and the site, its code and the content we wrote for it become yours. No minimum term, 30 days' notice. If you cancel and do not buy the site out, we switch off the website and any email we host for you at the end of your notice period. Your domain, the content and photos you supply, and your Google Business Profile stay yours, and we will help you move your email and domain before anything is switched off.
Care and SEO: month to month. If you leave, everything we built for you on your site stays with you.
VAT: No VAT to add. The price you see is the price you pay.
Questions about our prices
Do your prices include VAT?
We are not VAT registered, so there is no VAT to add. The price you see is the price you pay.
What is the difference between renting and owning?
Only how you pay for the build and who owns the site. Rent it as a Pay Monthly Website for £299 up front and we build a site of up to 4 pages, then host and look after it while you are on the plan. Own it with a one-off build from £750 and the site, its code and the content we wrote for it are yours the day you pay. The monthly plans are the same either way; owners of a hand-coded site we built pay no setup fee. A WordPress or other CMS site goes on a care plan.
Can I buy a rented site later?
Yes, any time, for £550. Renting then buying out costs £849 (the £299 setup plus the £550 buy-out), while a Starter site bought outright starts at £750, so if you already know you want to own it, buying up front costs less. On websites for new businesses, the buy-out is £750 during the first 12-month term and £550 after it. The site, its code and the content we wrote for it are then yours outright, to keep on one of our monthly plans or to host anywhere else. Stock images stay covered by their licence for use on that site. Your domain, the content and photos you supply, and your Google Business Profile are yours from day one either way.
Is there a minimum term?
No. The monthly plans run month to month with 30 days' notice, and care plans have no minimum term either. The one exception is websites for new businesses: no setup fee, in return for a 12-month first term at a first-year price, from £25 a month.
What happens if I cancel without buying the site out?
If you cancel and do not buy the site out, we switch off the website and any email we host for you at the end of your notice period. Your domain, the content and photos you supply, and your Google Business Profile stay yours, and we will help you move your email and domain before anything is switched off.
Do you host email?
Yes, on a Pay Monthly Website. Each Pay Monthly Website includes one email mailbox with 1 GB of storage at no extra cost. A 5 GB mailbox is £19.99 a year. Care plans for sites built elsewhere do not include email. If you would rather keep your email somewhere else, such as Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, that works too.
What counts as a change?
A change is a small edit, like updating your prices, swapping a photo or changing your opening hours. Most take under 30 minutes. Local and Complete SEO include change time each month (30 and 60 minutes); beyond that, and on Site & Hosting, it is £30 per 30 minutes. Fixes to anything we built are free. New pages are £75 each, one-off, and new features are quoted first. Want to make changes yourself? Choose a site you own with an editor: a Standard build has a blog or news page you edit yourself, and a Growth build has a CMS for editing the whole site. Editing it yourself costs nothing.
Is a booking system included?
No. Booking systems are quoted separately, on top of the website. We can connect the one you already use or build one, as we did for Pilates with Valerie. We quote it after a chat about how you take bookings now.
Can a WordPress or CMS site go on Site & Hosting?
No. Site & Hosting, Local and Complete SEO are for the hand-coded sites we build on our own platform. Any site built on WordPress or another CMS, whether we built it or not, goes on a care plan: Essentials at £75 a month with 30 minutes of changes, or Proactive at £125 a month with 60 minutes of changes. SEO & AI Search works on any site.
Why do care plans cost more than Site & Hosting?
Because a WordPress or other CMS site, whoever built it, needs its CMS, themes and plugins updated and secured every month. The sites we hand-code on our own platform need far less upkeep, which is why Site & Hosting costs £29 a month.
What is the difference between SEO & AI Search and Complete SEO?
The SEO work is the same, and AI search is part of it. SEO & AI Search is £250 a month on a site you already have, whoever built it. Complete SEO is £250 a month on a Pay Monthly Website, and it also covers the site, hosting, your Google Business Profile, review requests and 60 minutes of changes a month.
Are these prices fixed?
Yes. The monthly prices are for a single-location business; businesses with more locations are quoted separately. Build prices are fixed after a free 30-minute call, so you know the number before we start.
