Websites, and keeping them working

Four pages from £795, ten from £1,650, a shop from £2,750. Then £65 a month to keep it updated, backed up and watched.

Four ways to build it

Build

Paid once
Brochure site, four pagesWho you are, what you do, where you work, how to reach you. Built on a theme I maintain, so it’s quick and it stays quick. from £795
Small custom, up to ten pagesA page per service, which is what makes you findable for each one separately. Two to three weeks becomes four to six. from £1,650
EcommerceShopify unless there’s a reason it isn’t. What moves the price is product count, whether stock lives in another system, and what the checkout has to do. from £2,750
Bespoke, hand-builtHand-built when the job genuinely needs it. Scope moves all four of these, but this is the only one with no ceiling until I know what it has to do. from £5,250

Extra pages on the first two tiers are £150. Page copy is in the build price. Two rounds of revisions are in it too; beyond that it’s £85 an hour and I say so before the clock starts.

A site nobody maintains is a site that stops working, and you usually find out from a customer.

Management from
£65 a month.

What website maintenance in the UK actually is

Updates, security patching, backups and somebody noticing when the site goes down. If a monthly fee doesn’t cover all four, it’s hosting with a markup on it.

Management

Hosting, updates, daily backups, uptime monitoring and thirty minutes of changes, at a fixed monthly fee.

Updates are tested on a copy before they reach your site, because occasionally two plugins update in the same week and stop speaking to each other. Uptime monitoring means I find out before you do, and well before a customer does.

Shopify is different. Shopify hosts the store and handles the core software, so you pay their plan direct and me for the maintenance. The work is the apps, the theme, and the things that quietly stop converting.

30minutes of changes a month

Small things, included

Rolling over to ninety if you don’t use them. A price change or a new photograph isn’t a job, it’s a Tuesday.

1day, off-server backups

Kept somewhere else

A backup on the same machine as the site isn’t a backup. If that machine has a problem you’ve lost both.

Nothing is locked to me

Hosting moves to you or anyone you choose, free. Your domain was never mine.

How a build actually goes

  1. 01You tell me what it’s for. About an hour for a four-page site, two for anything bigger, and I’d rather have it in writing than on a call.
  2. 02I build it where you can watch. You get a link from the first week, not a reveal at the end.
  3. 03Two rounds of changes. Most sites need one.
  4. 04It goes live and moves onto management. Analytics and Search Console set up in your name, and a recorded walkthrough so you can change things yourself.

Brochure two to three weeks · Custom four to six · Ecommerce six to ten. From the day your content lands, not the day you pay.

Send me the details

A couple of paragraphs from you saves us both a round of questions. Only the email address is required.

  1. 01You fill this in. Three minutes or so.
  2. 02I reply by the end of the next working day, with a price or with the questions I need answered to give you one.
  3. 03If a call would help, you pick the time. I won’t ring you out of the blue.

Messages read Monday to Friday, 8am to 7pm.
It goes into a CRM I built myself, so I know where you found me and nothing gets lost. No mailing list and no follow-up sequence.

If you’d rather talk, ring between 8 and 7, Monday to Friday. I answer it myself.
