from £250

Who it is for

This service is for owners of real local businesses: restaurants, barbers, salons, photographers, trades and small shops across Southend-on-Sea, Essex, London and the South East, and remotely across the UK. You might have no website at all, an old one you are embarrassed to share, or a page-builder site you fight with every time something needs changing. You want a site that looks right on a phone, says clearly what you do, and makes it easy for customers to get in touch.

It is also for anyone who has been burnt by a web project before. That is why there is no deposit and why every site carries a 60-day guarantee: the risk sits with us, not with you.

What is included

  • A five-page site, designed for your business

    Home, about, services, a gallery or menu, and contact, arranged around what your customers actually need. Built by hand and checked on phones, tablets and desktops.

  • Help with your words

    We shape your content with you so every page says plainly what you do, who it is for and how to get in touch. When we are done, the content is yours.

  • Live within 7 days

    From go-ahead to launch inside a week. Most small business sites do not need months, so we do not take months.

  • No deposit

    You pay nothing up front. You see the finished site before any money changes hands.

  • 60-day guarantee

    If something on the site is broken or not as agreed in the first 60 days after launch, we put it right.

  • You own everything

    Design, code, content and source files are handed over to you. No lock-in and nothing rented: any developer could pick the site up tomorrow.

  • Optional care plans

    If you would rather not touch the site yourself, our care and maintenance plans handle updates and changes. Optional, because the site is yours either way.

Honest scope notes

A £250 site is a brilliant five-page site, and we mean that scope honestly. It covers a home page, about, services, a gallery or menu, and contact. For a restaurant, a barber, a salon, a photographer or a trade, that is usually everything the business needs, done properly. It is not an ecommerce platform, a members area or a custom web application, and we would rather say so on this page than midway through a project.

Each step up buys something specific. Extra pages buy room for more services, locations or a longer story. Online booking and payments move you into our booking and payments platform work, where the site takes money and manages a diary rather than just presenting one. Full ecommerce, customer accounts, native apps and AI features are custom builds, and we quote for them after a conversation, before any work starts.

The 7-day promise applies to the standard site. Bigger builds take longer, and we will give you a straight timeline in weeks before you commit to anything.

Fair questions

Is £250 really the full price?
Yes, for the five-page site described on this page, and there is no deposit. If you want more than that, extra pages, booking, payments or ecommerce, we tell you the price before any work starts. Care plans are optional and priced separately.
What does no deposit actually mean?
You pay nothing before work begins. We design and build the site, you review the finished thing, and you only pay once it is done. If you have been let down by a web project before, this is our answer to that.
How does the 7-day turnaround work?
Once you give the go-ahead and we have your content, your words, photos and logo, we design, build and launch within 7 days. If your content is not ready, we help you pull it together first, and the clock starts once we have what we need.
What does the 60-day guarantee cover?
For 60 days after launch, if anything on the site is broken or not as agreed, we fix it. Going live is the start of the relationship, not the end of it.
What does owning everything mean in practice?
The design, the code, the content and the source files are yours. You are free to host the site anywhere, edit it yourself, or hand it to another developer. Nothing about your own website is rented back to you.
Do you only work in Southend?
No. We are based in Southend-on-Sea and meet clients in person across Essex and London, and we work remotely with businesses across the UK. Southend is about 55 minutes from Fenchurch Street on the c2c line, so a face-to-face meeting is easy to arrange.
