Whether you need a simple landing page or a feature-rich business website, there's a package to suit your budget. Prices start at £400 and everything's agreed before work begins, giving you complete clarity from day one. What you're quoted is what you pay. No hidden extras. No hourly billing. No nasty surprises.
Optional on any package: £99 a year, taken out by launch day. Email us what you want changed and we do it: up to 2 requests a month. How it works
Payment
50% to book your slot, 50% when your site goes live. Nothing payable while we are still agreeing the scope, and the code is yours outright once that final payment clears — no licence, no ongoing cost.
Any of these packages can be built for a trade. The Trades package is simply the one shaped around it from the start — accreditations, local search and a year of hosting already in the box. If you are a trade and you want the extra pages, animation or a blog, take Pro or Premium and we will build the trade parts in. Not sure what "editable" means? See what you can edit yourself.

A sum on the figures you enter, not a forecast or a promise of results. Your own enquiries and sales will vary.
Keeping your site up to date helps keep it relevant, and builds visitors’ trust. The parts of your site most likely to change — opening hours and contact details, a photo gallery, a notice banner, news posts, and more — are built so you can change them yourself. No code, no waiting for us, no bill. Bigger packages come with more editable sections; see the table above. But if you don't have the time or would rather we make changes for you - we can provide that.

Would you rather we did it? £99 a year
On any package, email us what you want changed and we will make the change for you: up to 2 change requests a month, each a small edit to your existing content, like a new photo, a price or some text. New pages, sections and features are not included, but we are happy to quote for them. The plan has to be taken out by the day your site goes live, and renews each year on that date. Without the plan, small changes are £25 each. The full details are in our terms.
What “support” covers
Every package includes bug fixes and support: 6 months on Landing, 12 months on the others. If your site ever stops working as we built it — say, because of a change to a browser or operating system — that’s on us to put right, not you. Just let us know and we’ll fix it. Changes to your content and new features are separate: edit them yourself, or use the plan above.

Pricing & Packages
How much does a small business website cost in Sussex?
Our websites start at £400. There are four fixed-price packages: Landing at £400, Trades at £500, Pro at £700 and Premium at £1,200. The price is agreed in writing before any work starts, so the figure you are quoted is the figure you pay.
Are the package prices fixed?
Yes. Every package has a published fixed price and a written scope agreed before we start. There is no hourly rate and no monthly subscription for the build, and you will know exactly what the final cost is before you agree to go ahead. If you need something that does not fit neatly into one of the four packages, tell us what you have in mind and we will quote a custom fixed price, in writing, with no obligation.
What is included in your fixed-price packages?
Every package is a professional, hand-coded website built around your business, so you only pay for what you actually need. All four include a fully responsive design, your branding and colours, a working contact form, links to your social profiles, a search-friendly build, full testing before launch and after-launch monitoring. The bigger packages add more pages, more help with words and pictures, animation, a gallery and reviews, a blog and longer support. The side-by-side comparison shows exactly what each one includes.
Are your prices VAT chargeable?
No. Our prices are all-inclusive. We are not VAT chargeable at present, so there is nothing added on top of the price you are quoted.
I've seen web design sites that are cheaper than you. Why is that?
There are certainly cheaper options out there — some advertise basic websites from around £200. A few things are usually behind that gap, though. Low starting prices often don't include the features we build in as standard, so the real cost climbs fast once you add them. Many of these sites also run on template or subscription-based platforms, so on top of the build cost you are often paying a recurring monthly fee that can add up to hundreds of pounds a year, frequently for a bundle of generic features you will never actually use. We build fully bespoke, hand-coded websites for a genuinely fixed price — no templates, no subscriptions, no surprises. We think that makes us excellent value, and we are confident you will agree once you see the result.
Website & Hosting
Do you use templates or WordPress?
No. Every site is hand-coded from scratch in HTML, CSS and JavaScript. There is no template, no page builder and no plugin subscription to maintain — which is also why they load quickly and why search engines and AI tools can read them properly.
Is the website mobile-friendly?
Yes. All our sites are built to be ‘responsive’. This means that if the site is viewed on a mobile device or tablet, the layout adapts to fit the screen it is being viewed on, so it always looks good. With around 40% of web traffic now coming from mobile and tablet devices (a figure that is rising fast), this is a must-have feature for any new website.
Is domain and hosting included?
The Trades, Pro and Premium packages include one year of domain and hosting, arranged for you. The Landing package does not include domain or hosting, but we can still help you set both up.
Do you host websites?
No, we do not host websites ourselves. To host websites securely and reliably we would need a dedicated data centre with a great deal of technical equipment and support in place, which would greatly impact the cost of the sites we produce. Instead, we partner with a web hosting company who are experts in this field. They are also able to provide domain names for clients, offer very competitive rates and provide an excellent service.
I don't own a domain name. Can you help?
Yes, we can help you choose a domain name for your business, idea or project, and advise you so you avoid any pitfalls. You are then free to buy the domain yourself, or we can do so on your behalf. In that case we will register the domain in your (or your business's) name, so you will own it for as long as you wish.
Can I use my current hosting provider?
We aim to keep your costs as low as possible, so if you have already paid for hosting we will try to use it whenever possible. One advantage of our hand-coded websites is that they are often compatible with a wider range of hosting providers than those built with, for example, WordPress. That said, we will check that your current host allows our site to be hosted within their environment. Since compatibility varies, we can't guarantee up front that we will use your existing host, but we will endeavour to do so whenever possible. If it isn't possible, we will discuss alternative options with you.
Content & Ownership
I don't have any content and don't know what to actually put on my website. Can you help?
Yes, we can write the content for you. Many of our clients are simply too busy to spend time coming up with wording for their site, and we are happy to do this for you. We can build the website, create some wording for each page and even find great licensed stock photos that will help illustrate your business. We will talk through the key points you need to get across and what you are looking to achieve, then come up with wording to suit your goals. How much of this we take on depends on the package: Landing helps you shape your own wording, Trades adds wording and image assistance, and Pro and Premium come with the content and photos supplied.
Will I own the website? Will I own the content you produce?
Yes, you will own all the content. If you need to purchase a domain we can help with this, and it will be purchased in your (or your company's) name. Once we go live with your site, the code is uploaded into the hosted space (if you don't already have hosting, we can help with this). After final payment at go live, the code is yours and you are free at any time to update or change the code we have written.
Can you link my new site up with social media?
Yes. Every package includes links to your social profiles, and social media is a great way to help your website stay up to date and relevant. For example, if you have a Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn or X account for your business, we can incorporate your latest posts into your site. This helps showcase your business as up to date and active — and it also helps your site's search engine ranking. That said, if you simply don't need or want to use social media, that's absolutely fine, too.
Getting Started
Which website package do I need?
It depends mainly on how many pages you need and how much help you want with words and pictures. Up to three pages is Landing at £400; trades wanting a complete local presence take Trades at £500; up to seven pages with animation is Pro at £700; seven pages or more with a blog and advanced features is Premium at £1,200. The 60-second finder will narrow it down if you would rather not guess, or just drop us a line and we will talk it through — no upselling, and a fixed price agreed before anything starts.
How do I pay for my website?
50% is payable to book your slot and the remaining 50% when your site goes live. Nothing is payable while we are still agreeing what you need, and if the scope does not suit you at that stage, nothing is owed.
What areas do you cover?
We are based in East Sussex but have clients across South East England and further afield. We have worked with small businesses and individuals in Essex, Kent, East Sussex, West Sussex and across London, and more recently with clients much further afield. In short, if you are happy to talk by email, WhatsApp, FaceTime or similar apps, we can work with you wherever in the world you are, so long as you have an internet connection. Get in touch if you are unsure.
Tell us what you need.
A conversation, not a sales pitch. Tell us roughly what the business does and what you'd like the site to achieve, and we will tell you which package fits and what it will cost — in writing, before anything starts.
