Common questions.

What does the build fee cover?

Everything. Design, development, mobile optimisation, SEO foundations, testing and launch. You get a completely custom website, not a tweaked template. Larger or more complex projects are quoted individually.

How long does it take to build?

Most sites go from first conversation to live in 2-4 weeks. You'll see a working demo before anything goes public.

What if I want to cancel?

We ask for a 12-month minimum term, then one month's notice. Your website files are always yours to keep. We'll never hold your site hostage.

What do I get if I leave?

All your website files - HTML, CSS, images, everything. We'll transfer your domain name to you too. Your site is built with standard web technologies, not locked into a platform, so any developer can pick it up and work with it.

Can I upgrade or downgrade later?

Absolutely. Most clients choose Business, but you can start on Starter and move up when you're ready. Change plans any time with no penalties.

Do I need to provide content?

It helps if you have photos and a rough idea of what you want to say. But we can write copy and source images if you need us to.

What about e-commerce?

Online shops and booking systems are quoted individually as part of the build. Monthly care plans start from £65/mo on the Business plan. We'll recommend the right setup for your needs.
