FAQ

Questions, answered.

Yes. We build a full preview of your new site on a real link. You only pay once you've approved it and we're ready to launch. If you walk away, you owe nothing.

The Starter website covers up to 3 core pages at £799 + VAT. Anything larger — additional pages, treatment or service pages, blog, portal, portfolio — is scoped in a short discovery call and quoted as a fixed written price before work begins.

Yes, but those aren't part of the Starter scope. Ecommerce, booking systems, memberships, portals and CRM integrations are handled through the Tailored website route with a fixed quotation after discovery.

Every site we ship is mobile-first. Most of your visitors are on a phone, so that's where it has to be flawless.

Pick a care plan and we look after hosting, security, updates and content changes. No plan needed though — the site is yours either way.

You. Domain, code, content, hosting login — all yours from day one. No hostage situations if you ever want to leave.

Starter is priced on the basis that you supply the final copy and imagery. Copywriting is available as a per-page add-on at £120 + VAT, or is included as part of a Tailored website quote. We'll never ship a site with placeholder text.

The Starter website is typically live in around 2 weeks once we have your copy and imagery. Tailored projects are scoped in discovery — a typical range is 4–12 weeks depending on functionality — with the timeline confirmed in the written quote.

Because the honest answer depends on scope. Anything beyond a straightforward brochure site — extra pages, copywriting, bookings, integrations, custom functionality — gets a fixed written quotation after a short requirements call. The price is never negotiable, never hourly, and always agreed in writing before work begins.
