Pricing

One price to build it.
Your choice after that.

No bundles, no tiers, no small print. A single fixed price to get your website built and live. You don’t pay until you’re happy. Then you decide whether you’d like me to keep it running, or take it over yourself.

The build — one-off fee
£ 299 one-off

Everything you need to go from nothing to a live website that brings in local enquiries. Done within a week.

  • 5-page custom website — Home, About, Services, Gallery, Contact
  • Designed specifically for your trade — not a blank template
  • A contact box so customers can message you directly from the site
  • Set up so Google knows you exist, what you do, and where you work
  • Your own web address (e.g. nicksplumbing.co.uk) — yours to keep forever. Most cost £10–15/year and are included. If your preferred name is already taken I'll suggest alternatives — no extra cost.
  • Looks great on phones, tablets and computers
  • You review it before it goes live — changes included until you're happy
After the build — your choice

Once your site is live, you decide how it's looked after. There's no right or wrong answer — pick whatever suits you.

Good if you're comfortable doing things yourself

A note on tax relief

If you're self-employed or running a limited company, your website is almost certainly a tax-deductible business expense — which means HMRC effectively contributes a portion of the cost through reduced tax liability.

This isn't something I'd lead with, but it's worth knowing.

If you're a sole trader

The one-off build fee qualifies as a capital expense, which you can usually deduct in full in the year you pay for it under HMRC's Annual Investment Allowance. The monthly hosting fee is a straightforward running cost — fully deductible each year. At the basic rate of income tax (20%), a £299 build fee effectively costs you around £239 after tax relief. The £9.99/month hosting works out closer to £8/month after tax.

If you're a limited company

The same principle applies, but the saving comes through Corporation Tax rather than income tax. For most small companies, Corporation Tax is 19% on profits up to £50,000 — so a £299 website costs your company around £242 after tax relief. If your company pays the higher 25% rate (profits above £250,000), the saving is even greater — the same site costs around £224.

No contracts

The £9.99/month option runs month-to-month. Cancel by sending me a message. I'll hand everything over to you with no fuss.

Your domain is always yours

Your web address is registered in your name from day one — not mine. Even if you stop working with me, you keep it.

Not sure what you need?

Drop me a message and I'll be straight with you about what the £299 build covers — and whether the monthly option or running it yourself suits you better.

Questions people usually ask

Most web addresses — particularly .co.uk names like nicksplumbing.co.uk — cost around £10–15 a year, which is included in the £299.

Occasionally a name is already registered by someone else. When that happens, there are always good alternatives nearby — adding "swindon", adjusting the wording slightly, or trying a different ending. I'll suggest a few options and we'll pick one that works. I always choose something sensibly priced, so there are no surprises. I'll never register anything without checking with you first.
No — it's entirely optional. Once your site is built, you can take over completely: I transfer the site to your own free Netlify account and help you point your web address at it — ongoing cost is usually just the annual web address renewal (£8–15). The £9.99/month option is there for people who'd rather not think about it and just have me handle everything.
Four things: keeping your site live on the internet (the equivalent of rent for the server it lives on), making sure the security is up to date so it can't be hacked, making one content change a month if you need it — a new price, an updated service, a different photo — and your annual web address renewal so it stays registered in your name (typically £8–15 a year to the registrar; that's covered while you're on the monthly plan). Just send me a message for changes. Bigger jobs — new pages, new sections, or anything that needs a proper build-out — are quoted separately at £25 an hour, with a clear price before I start.
I hand everything over to you — the website files, any logins, everything. I transfer the site to your own Netlify account (free on their basic plan for a straightforward site) and help you connect your web address. After that, your main running costs are keeping payment details up to date with Netlify if they ask for them, and paying your annual web address renewal direct to your registrar — usually £8–15. Your web address stays registered in your name throughout.
Yes — email me with what you need. I charge £25 per hour (minimum half an hour). Most small tweaks take 15–30 minutes. Anything larger, I'll give you a quote before I start.
You don't need to plan everything upfront. If you're on the monthly plan, you already have one content change a month included. For anything bigger — new pages, new features, a rethink of a section — email me and I'll quote it at £25 an hour before I start. If you run the site yourself, the same applies whenever you want a hand.
Usually within a week of you saying go ahead. I’ll send you a link to review before it goes live. Once you’re happy with it (and I’ve made any changes you want), you pay the £299 and I make it live on your web address — typically within a day or two.
Once you're ready to go ahead, I'll send you a short form to fill in — it takes about five minutes. It asks for the basics: your services, the areas you cover, your phone number, and any photos of your work you'd like to use. If you have a logo already, great — if not, I can sort something simple. That's all I need. I'll take it from there.
