Prices
Every number we charge, on one page.
If it is not on this page we do not charge it. No setup fees, no licence fees, no surprise on your renewal.
Builds, paid once
What it costs to build.
| Site | Pages | What it does | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 3 | Home, about and contact. First year of Basic hosting included | £99 |
| Four Page | 4 | Mailbox, local SEO and Google setup. First year of Basic hosting included | £295 |
| Business Site | up to 10 | Admin panel, blog, AI. First year of Essential hosting included | £595 |
| Booking Site | up to 10 | Plus bookings and deposits. First year of Business hosting included | £995 |
| Online Shop | up to 10 | Plus shop and checkout, 25 products loaded. First year of Business hosting included | £1,295 |
| Platform | as many as it takes | Live data, member accounts, custom tools | from £2,500 |
Every build includes its first year of hosting, so the price above is the whole of year one. Need eleven pages instead of ten? That is £45 for the extra page, not a different package. Shops with more than 25 products: we load the rest at £45 an hour, or you add them yourself from the admin.
Across a year
What it actually costs you, year one and after.
The build price is the whole of year one. After that it is the plan, and that is the lot. Most companies do not show this, which is how people end up surprised in month thirteen.

Checks on the site you have now, wherever it is hosted.
A written report in plain English, with a fix list in priority order. No obligation to have us do the fixing.
Website survey
A written report on the site you have now, wherever it is hosted
- Speed on phone and desktop
- Mobile layout and readability
- Broken links and missing pages
- Titles, descriptions and search basics
- Accessibility basics
- Plain English report with a fix list, in priority order
Security check
Is your current site safe? A written answer, from the outside
- SSL and certificate setup
- Security headers and exposed files
- Out of date software and known weak points
- Malware and blocklist status
- Email spoofing protection (SPF, DKIM, DMARC)
- Plain English report with what to fix first
The security check is an external check of the things small business sites actually get caught by. It is not a full penetration test, which is a different job at a different price, and we will say so if your site needs one.
Pubs, cafes and restaurants
Table bookings on your own site, with no per booking fees.
The big booking platforms charge £50 to £150 a month and take a cut of every cover. Ours sits on your site, runs on our server, and costs the same whether you take ten bookings or a thousand.
Table booking system
Online table booking for pubs, cafes and restaurants, on any site we host
- Booking page on your own site, and a link for Facebook and Google
- Live availability by table, area and sitting
- Deposits for big tables if you want them
- Confirmations and reminders by email
- Staff view for the day, walk ins and no shows
- No per booking fees, ever
Then £200 a year, or £20 a month, on top of your hosting plan.
It is set up around how your place actually runs: sittings, table sizes, areas, closed days, the big table that needs a deposit. Bookings land in a staff view on your phone, with walk ins and no shows marked in a tap.
It runs on any site we host. Taking a Booking Site build? It is part of that already. Adding it to a site you have with us? It is the setup fee plus the running cost. Not with us yet? Start with a Four Page site and add it, and you are still well under what the platforms charge in a year.
Domains
Yearly, and honest about the expensive ones.
| Type | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| .co.uk and .uk | Free | Free with any build while you host with us. |
| .com .net .org | £15 a year | Flat rate. Registration, renewal and us watching the date. |
| Other endings | Cost plus £15 a year | Quoted before we buy it. Some endings are dear at wholesale. |
| Premium domains | Paid up front | Big one off price or big renewal. Money first, then we buy it. |
| Moving your domain away | £15 admin fee | Released within a working day. The domain is yours to take. |
Facebook
Your Facebook page, set up properly and kept alive.

Why the two prices? When we already host your website we know your business, your photos and your wording, so each post takes a fraction of the time. That saving is yours. More than one a day, or Instagram as well? Talk to us and we will price it. We post as you, we do not reply to customers as you: their messages and reviews stay yours to answer.
