Websites for freelancers & small businesses

Is your website actually working for you, or just existing?

I build and host straightforward, honest websites for freelancers and small businesses — for what you're already paying, or less.

I own a workplace compliance company covering first aid, food safety, and lead generation for freelancers across the country. Talking to freelancers day in, day out, one thing comes up again and again, especially with first aid trainers: their website is doing absolutely nothing for them.

Tell Me What You're Paying See Prices
Full disclosure

I'm not a website designer by trade

Over the past two years I've built sites on the side, mostly helping out friends and family, and picked up a lot along the way. I won't pretend otherwise. What I can offer instead is an honest, straightforward approach, no jargon, no inflated promises.

How it works

Tell me what you're paying. I'll tell you straight.

Instead of a sales pitch, here's what I'm offering: tell me what you're currently paying each month for your website (no obligation if you'd rather not say), and I'll take an honest look at whether I could build you something better for the same money.

Paying around £30/month?

I'll be straight with you: that's often just not enough to get a site that's genuinely earning its keep. You tend to get what you pay for, and I'll tell you if that's the case rather than take your money anyway.

Paying £100/month or more?

There's a good chance I can get you something better for less. Either way, you get a straight answer, not a pitch.

There's also a small one-off setup fee, usually somewhere in the £50–£250 range, depending on what's involved, to get everything built and set up properly. Ongoing costs are then billed monthly, aiming to match or beat whatever you're paying now.

If we do end up working together, I don't just hand over a site and disappear: every month you'll get a quick update on how it's actually ranking in search, plus regular updates to the site itself. There are usually a few things we can do along the way to help improve visibility.

Pricing

What it actually costs

If you haven't got a site yet, there's nothing to compare against, so here are the bundles I offer, with the actual prices. No packages that only make sense once you've had a call with me.

Bundle
To build
Per month
What's included
Starter
One page that covers the basics properly.
£60
One-off
£50
To maintain
  • A single page covering who you are, what you do, and how to get in touch, with your contact details
  • 3 blog posts included at launch
  • Fortnightly updates to the site
  • A monthly round-up email showing how the site's doing — a traffic and ranking snapshot
  • Hosting and basic upkeep included
Growth
Room to give each service its own page.
£100
One-off
£80
To maintain
    Everything in Starter, plus:
  • A multi-page site — Home, About, Services, Contact, and more as needed — instead of a single page
  • 6 blog posts included at launch instead of 3
  • Any simple extra features you need: image galleries, social links, embedded maps, that kind of thing
Complete
For taking bookings online.
£150
One-off
£100
To maintain
    Everything in Growth — multi-page site, fortnightly updates, monthly round-up email, simple features — plus:
  • An online booking system built in
  • 10 blog posts included at launch instead of 6, written around topics that help you show up in search (SEO) rather than just filling the page
Shop
For businesses that sell products online.
£250
One-off
£150
To maintain
    Everything in Complete — multi-page site, fortnightly updates, monthly round-up email, online booking, 10 blog posts — plus:
  • A full online store: product listings, shopping cart, and secure checkout
The monthly fee for the Shop bundle may be quoted higher for shops with frequent or large inventory/catalogue changes, since stores typically need more frequent updates than the other bundles.
The build fee is a one-off, paid once to get everything set up properly. The monthly fee covers hosting, the fortnightly updates, small changes as you need them, and the round-up email — there's nothing else added on top.

Already paying for a website somewhere else?

I'll aim to match or beat that monthly figure.

The bundles above are what I'd quote from scratch, but the offer higher up the page still stands: tell me what you're paying now and I'll work to the same money or less, or tell you honestly if I can't. If none of the three quite fit what you need, say so and we'll sort something sensible.

Get a Straight Answer
Realistically

What the first year can look like

Not a promise, just an honest idea of a typical timeline.

Month 1

Your new site goes live

Clean design, working contact/booking pages, mobile-friendly, ready to actually represent your business.

Months 2–3

Early days

Real feedback starts coming in, maybe your first few enquiries through the new site, and we fine-tune based on what you're seeing.

Months 3–6

Search engines start to notice you exist

If you're posting and sharing consistently, this is usually when steady, organic traffic starts to build.

Months 6–12

A genuine asset

With consistency and a bit of patience, a well-built site starts bringing in more enquiries on autopilot, less reliance on ads or word of mouth alone.

None of this is guaranteed. It depends on your industry, how much marketing sits behind the site, and plenty of things a website alone can't control. But a site that's fast, clear and easy to use gives you the best possible starting point.
