Pay monthly web design

A proper website for £149 a month. Not £3,000 up front.

Pay monthly web design means one predictable fee covers everything a small business website needs: design, build, copywriting, hosting, SSL, security and unlimited content updates. We’re based in Burton-on-Trent — and because the whole service runs online, we build for small businesses right across the UK.

Pay monthly vs the traditional agency bill

Traditional agency Pay monthly with us
Cost to start £2,000–£5,000 up front, before you've seen anything work Your first month — £149 + VAT
Hosting, SSL & maintenance Separate bills, or a retainer on top Included
Content updates Hourly rates, or a CMS you have to learn and use yourself Unlimited — email them over, live within two working days
When it goes stale Another quote, another project It doesn't — keeping it fresh is the product
If it's not working out Sunk cost Cancel with 30 days' notice, keep your domain and content

The catch people look for: there isn’t a contract lock-in hiding it. Cancel with 30 days’ notice, your domain stays yours, and after 12 months of subscription the site design transfers to you too — though the hosting, security and updates are the subscription, so if you take the site elsewhere you’d arrange your own. The model works because most clients stay — not because they’re trapped.

Built for businesses without a marketing department

Sole traders & trades

You need a site that wins work while you're on the tools — not a project to manage. Email a change over; it's live within two working days.

Local service businesses

Salons, clinics, cafés, garages: your prices, menus and opening hours change — your website should keep up without a login you dread.

Small firms & practices

A professional site with proper SEO foundations and monthly reporting on Growth — at a cost that goes through the books as a simple subscription.

How pay monthly works

Completely online, wherever you are in the UK — no meetings, no site visits needed. Pay your first month and we start; most sites are live in about two weeks.

  1. Answer a few questions online

    Day 1

    Ten minutes about your business, your customers and what you need. Got a site already? We'll health-check it free.

  2. Your design lands in your inbox

    Days 2–5

    Designed, written and ready to click through on your phone. React whenever suits you.

  3. Approve, or ask for changes

    Days 5–10

    Reply in plain English — “make the photos bigger” works fine. We refine until you're happy.

  4. We launch — and never stop looking after it

Pay monthly questions

What counts as an “unlimited update”?

Content changes to your existing pages: new text, prices, photos, opening hours, team members, menu items, offers — that sort of thing. Send as many as you like under our fair use policy. Bigger jobs like whole new sections or a redesign are quoted separately, always in writing first.

Who owns the website and the domain?

Your domain name is always yours — registered in your name, and you keep it if you leave. After 12 months of subscription, the website design and content we've created transfer to you as well (or you can buy them out earlier). Worth being clear though: the monthly fee is what keeps the site hosted, secure and updated. If you take the site away, that service ends with it — you'll need your own hosting and someone to look after it. We'll hand over the files and help you move; we just can't host it for free.

What happens if I cancel?

Give us 30 days' notice by email — no phone calls, no retention scripts. We'll hand over your domain and give you a full export of your content. No exit fees.

Are there really no upfront costs?

Really. You pay your first month by Direct Debit and we start work. No setup fee, no design fee, no surprise invoices.
