Websites for startups & new businesses.

Starting a business is a hundred decisions fired at you at once, and "the website" almost always gets shoved to the bottom of the pile — right when it deserves to be near the top. Your very first customers will Google you before they part with a penny. They'll check you're real, judge in seconds whether you look like a business or a hobby, and quietly move on if the answer's wrong. At the start, when you have no reputation to fall back on, your website is your credibility.

But every founder knows the bind: launch is also the exact moment you can least afford a £2,000–£5,000 agency bill, with your runway needed for stock, tools, premises and staying alive.

Why pay-monthly is made for new businesses

This is precisely where £50 a month, everything included fits a startup better than any other option:

• No upfront cost — you launch properly without draining the cash you need for everything else. The single biggest barrier to a new business getting a real website just disappears.
• A professional, hand-built site — not a template you're wrestling with at midnight instead of running your business, and not something that screams "made this myself".
• It's handled — design, hosting, updates and SEO all done for you, so your hours go into the actual business, not learning web design.
• It grows with you — start with what you need to launch, add pages and features as you land customers. No re-buying, no starting over.

What a startup actually needs (and what it doesn't)

Here's something most agencies won't tell a new business: you don't need everything on day one, and over-building before you have customers is a classic, expensive mistake. What you genuinely need at launch is the foundation done well — crystal clear on what you do and who it's for, effortless to contact, credible enough to trust, fast, and findable on Google. That's it. I'll help you launch with exactly that and build outward as you grow, rather than selling you a twenty-page site for a business that might pivot next month.

Why a solo studio suits a startup

You get one person, a direct line, and honest advice — including being told when you don't need something, which saves you money. I keep my client list deliberately small, so you're a business I actually know, not a ticket in a queue behind fifty others. And I've built for new businesses across trades, food, events and services, so I know what actually earns a startup its first customers — not just what looks nice in a portfolio.

Get online, get found, get your first customers

A website is step one, but getting a new business its first customers takes more than a site sitting there — it takes being findable and being trusted from a standing start. That's the whole point of what I build and the guidance I give: how to get your first customers online, setting up Google Business Profile as a new business, and the new business online checklist to make sure nothing gets missed. It's all here, and it's all free to read.

What it costs

£50 a month, everything included — design, build, unlimited updates, hosting and ongoing SEO and Google support — with no upfront bill. One-off fixed-price builds are available too if you'd rather own it outright. Here's exactly how it works.
