Looked After For A Year. Then It’s Yours.
Most pay-monthly websites are rented forever. Ours isn’t.
For the first 12 months, hosting, security, backups and small changes are all included in your monthly price, from £200 a month. You don’t need to learn a dashboard or update anything. Just send us what you’d like changed.
After 12 months, the website is yours outright. Stay with us for hosting and care, or take it anywhere you like. Either way, it’s your choice.
Built With Astro, Not WordPress. Here’s What That Means For You.
We build every website from scratch with Astro, a modern way of making websites, rather than WordPress and a stack of plugins. You never need to think about it, but you’ll notice the difference.
- Fast on every phone, even on a patchy signal
- Nothing to update, no plugins to keep patching or break
- Secure, with very little for hackers to target
- Ranks well, because Google rewards fast, well-built pages
Website Design Process Questions, Answered
Anything else, just ask. You’ll get a straight answer from one of us.
Most websites go live 3 to 4 weeks after you sign off the homepage design, once we have your content. The thing that usually slows a website down is waiting for the words and photos, which is why we offer a done-for-you option where we write them from one call.
Not much. Twenty minutes for a first call, your logo if you have one, the words for each page and some photos. If you don’t have time to write or gather photos, choose done for you and we’ll handle both from a single call.
Yes. You get a style guide and then your full homepage design to review before we build anything. We refine it together until you’re happy, so there are no surprises.
No. We’re based in Whitefield, Manchester, and work with clients over video call, email and WhatsApp. You can review every design on your own screen, whenever suits you.
We build every website from scratch using Astro, a modern web framework, rather than WordPress and a stack of plugins. For you, that means a faster website, nothing to update, and far fewer security risks.
The website is yours. You can stay with us for hosting and care from £49 a month, or take it anywhere, free. If you’d rather we handled the move, it’s a one-off £250.
