Thoughtful by default

Questions, answered

The important details, upfront.

Clear scope, clear costs and no manufactured urgency.

Why is the website build free?

We use a focused, repeatable process for brochure-style websites and build a limited number at a time. That lets us remove the upfront design and development fee while Website Care covers the ongoing technical service.

What do I actually pay?

The website build costs £0. Website Care is £360/year paid annually (equivalent to £30/month), or £35/month on a 12-month minimum term (£420 over the initial term). Both options include the same managed hosting, SSL, backups, maintenance, technical management, basic support and reasonable minor content updates.

Can I pay monthly?

Yes. You can choose £35/month on a 12-month minimum term. This totals £420 over the initial term and is not a cancel-anytime agreement. The annual option is £360 paid upfront for 12 months of Website Care and offers better value.

Do both payment options include the same service?

Yes. Annual and monthly customers receive the same Website Care service. The annual option offers better value, while the monthly option spreads the cost across the initial 12-month term.

How long does Website Care last?

The annual £360 payment covers 12 months of Website Care. The monthly option has a 12-month minimum initial term.

What kind of website is included?

A professionally designed brochure-style business website of up to four standard content pages, built to explain what you do and help customers contact you.

Can I add bookings or sell products?

Those features are outside the free package, but we can quote separately for booking integrations, ecommerce, payments and other custom functionality.
