Ownership
You own it. All of it.
The domain is registered to you. The site, the words and the photos are yours. If you stop a care plan or SEO, the site stays up and stays yours. We'd rather you stay because it works than because you can't leave.

Questions
How much does a website cost for a tradesman?
With us, a one-page Starter site is from £295, Essentials from £595 and Business from £995, the exact fixed price is confirmed in writing before you pay a deposit, and it depends on how many services and areas you need pages for and whether photos and reviews already exist. For what the wider UK market charges, read the cost guide.
Do I own the website?
Yes. The domain is registered in your name, the site and its content are yours, and if you ever leave you take them with you. No hostage hosting.
Are there monthly fees?
Only if you choose them: hosting is £15 a month or £150 a year, website care is £25 a month or £250 a year, and SEO plans run from £100 to £350 a month. All of them are optional, reviewed quarterly, and you can stop them. The website itself is a one-off price.
Can I pay for the website monthly?
Yes. If you would rather not pay in one go, any package can be split into 12 interest-free monthly payments: the total is the package price and nothing is added for paying that way. The split is agreed in writing with the scope before you pay anything. If you want a monthly website rather than one you own outright, that is a different thing, and our own builder is £9.99 a month.
How long does it take?
We agree a fixed timescale before you pay a deposit, based on the package and how quickly you can get us photos and details. You'll see the site before it goes live.
