One build fee, paid half at the start and half at launch, then a monthly care plan that keeps the site running.

Care plans
Your site, looked after every month
Hosting, backups and updates are the boring jobs that stop a website breaking. Your care plan covers them, plus time for small changes like new photos, prices or opening hours.
12-month minimum, then month to month. Paid by Direct Debit.

How it works

Build and launch
I build the rest, test it on phones and computers, and switch it on at your domain.

Looked after every month
Your care plan keeps it updated, backed up and secure, with small edits included.
FAQs
Questions people usually ask
Do I own my website?
Yes. Your domain is registered in your name from day one, and once the build is paid the site is yours. If you ever leave, I hand over everything you need to move it.
Can I make changes myself?
Yes. You can edit text and photos in your browser, and I show you how in a short video at handover. Or send me the change and it is covered by your monthly edit time.
Why is a care plan required?
A website needs looking after like a van needs servicing. The care plan pays for hosting, backups, security updates and small changes, so the site keeps working without you thinking about it. Plans run for a 12-month minimum, then month to month.
I already have a website. Can you take it over?
Usually, yes. I can rebuild it on a faster setup, or move your existing site across and put it on a care plan.
What do I need to provide?
Your logo if you have one, a few photos of your work, and the basics: services, areas, opening hours and contact details. I can help with the writing.
