Frequently asked questions

Common questions about getting a website built.

How much does a website cost?
Our websites start at £250 for a single-page site and £450 for a full business site with ordering or booking. These are one-off prices with no monthly fees. Custom builds are quoted individually based on what your business needs.
How long does it take to build a website?
Most websites are designed, built and live within 5 to 7 working days. Larger custom projects may take 2 to 3 weeks depending on complexity — but we'll give you a clear timeline before we start.
Do I need to pay monthly for my website?
No. Our standard websites are hosted for free. You own the site and the domain — there are no recurring fees to keep your page online. If you want ongoing changes and support, we offer that separately.
Can you build a website for my restaurant or café?
Absolutely — restaurants and cafés are one of our specialities. We build sites with full menus, online ordering, table booking, gift cards and local SEO so customers find you on Google Maps and search.
Do I own my website after it's built?
Yes. You own the site and the domain. There's no lock-in, no subscription, and no hostage situation. We hand everything over and show you how to make changes yourself.
Will my website work on mobile phones?
Every site we build is mobile-first — designed for phones first, then scaled up for tablets and desktops. They load fast, pass Google's Core Web Vitals, and look sharp on any screen size.
