Small Business Web Design
Bespoke WordPress websites from £299 + VAT, then from £30 a month for hosting, updates and support, delivered remotely anywhere in the UK. Designed around your business, built to be found, and supported by real people.
Does any of this sound familiar?
Most small business owners end up choosing between three bad options. Build it yourself in a DIY site builder and lose your evenings to it. Buy a cheap template that looks like every other site in your industry. Or approach an agency and get a quote priced for companies ten times your size.
- You started a DIY website builder months ago and it is still not finished.
- An agency quoted you thousands before they had even asked what you do.
- Your current site looks fine on a desktop but falls apart on a phone.
- You are too busy actually running the business to chase developers.
There is a fourth option: a bespoke WordPress website, designed around your business rather than squeezed into a template, from a small, established UK team that has done it more than 1,500 times, tells you the price up front and answers the phone when you call.
Tell us what you need and you will get a straight answer, with a reply within one working day. Or call 0115 718 0365 and get that straight answer today.
What does your £299 + VAT actually buy?
Websites start at £299 + VAT. For that you get:
- A multi-page website with an About Us page, a services or products page and a contact form
- Domain registration included in the website package, or we point or transfer a domain you already own
- Business email included, with a 10GB mailbox at no additional cost
And every site we build, at any price, comes with:
- Bespoke design on custom WordPress, not an off-the-shelf template
- Basic on-page SEO included as standard
- Fast pages: we consistently achieve 90+ scores on Google PageSpeed Insights
- LiteSpeed hosting in UK data centres, with full-page caching, object caching, HTTP/3 and CDN delivery, with a 99.9% uptime target
Need more pages, an online shop with WooCommerce, or custom theme development and API or CRM integrations? The price rises with page count, design elements and complexity, and your free quote will set it out transparently before you commit.

Everything you need to know
Straight answers on how we work, what it costs and what happens after launch.
How much does a small business website cost in the UK?
Websites start at £299 + VAT, then from £30 a month for hosting, updates and support. That is the genuine starting price, published on our site, not a teaser that doubles once you enquire.
- From £299 + VAT: a multi-page website with an About Us page, a services or products page and a contact form
- Domain registration cost included in the website package
- Business email with a 10GB mailbox at no additional cost
- Price rises with page count, design elements and complexity, and we tell you exactly what your project costs before you commit
If you would rather avoid a large upfront cost, our managed WordPress plan rolls design, build, hosting, security, content, SEO and support into one predictable monthly fee.
Every quote is personalised, transparent and free, and we reply within one working day. And you are not taking our word on the value: we are rated 4.6 on Trustpilot from 51 verified reviews and 4.8 on Google by owners who have already made this decision.
What happens after your website goes live?
A website is not a one-off purchase. It is a working asset that needs backups, updates and security, and that is exactly the boring infrastructure we do right. Our managed WordPress plan covers it all for one predictable monthly fee:
- Daily off-site backups with 30-day retention
- Monthly core, plugin and theme updates with visual regression checks
- Layered security: server hardening, WAF, malware scanning and brute-force protection
- Daily checks that your site is up and its SSL certificate is valid, with a monthly report
- Small content edits included, so small changes do not trigger per-hour billing
- Your own client portal to see your website and your results
Support comes from real people in our Long Eaton office during UK business hours, by phone, email or ticket, and most issues are resolved within 24 hours. Over 1,500 sites are currently under management.

Will my website show up on Google and in AI search?
Every site we build includes basic on-page SEO as standard, and we will be straight with you: we cannot guarantee a specific position in search results, and we do not pretend otherwise.
What we can do is build for where search is going. Customers now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews before they ever see a results page, so we build GEO-Ready Websites, structured so ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews have accurate information about you to draw on. We treat SEO, AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) as distinct pieces of work.
When you are ready to grow, we can layer on:
- ContentBoost: your website foundations put right, then regular expert articles, approved by you before they go live
- SEO Boost: new landing pages for your services and areas every month, plus whole-site monitoring and a monthly report
- SocialBoost: Facebook and Instagram posts drafted from your real work and approved by you
- Google Business Profile posts with your own photos, and 360° virtual tours through Trusted Photography, our sister brand on Google Maps since 2012
Ask about any of these in your free quote and we will give you an honest steer on what is worth it for your business.
