Websites for your business
Your business already
has a story.
The website should tell it properly.
Bring the character of your business into every page. Thoughtful design, words and imagery help people understand who you are, why they should trust you and what to do next.
UNDERSTAND · DESIGN · CONNECT
A website that feels like your business.
I start by listening: how you work, who your customers are and what makes your business distinctive. That understanding shapes the design, from the first impression to the next enquiry.
Typography, spacing, colour and photography work together to reflect your character. Clear navigation, considered interactions and fast-loading pages make it easy for customers to explore and act.
Branding, photography, your Client Studio and practical business systems can connect where they help. We agree which pieces your business needs.
What’s included.
You’ll receive a written scope and start date before making a payment.
- Up to five pages, with an agreed layout and content
- Your colours, branding, text and supplied images
- Page titles and descriptions, plus email and phone links
- One consolidated review round before launch
- Domain connection, launch guidance and handover
- Your own Client Studio for everyday website updates
- 12 months of managed hosting, HTTPS security, backups and website support from launch
- One standard domain: first-year registration up to £20, or connection of your existing domain
The £249.99 price includes your website and its first year of hosting and care. New booking systems, online shops, business email and paid third-party services are scoped separately. Any extra cost is agreed in writing before you pay.
CLIENT STUDIO · INCLUDED
Your website. Your updates.
Change the words, add a photograph or update your opening hours whenever you need to. Your £249.99 website package includes a private Client Studio, tailored to the pages and content we build for you. There is no separate Studio setup fee. Its standard running costs are included during the first year and any renewed care period, and I’ll show you how to use it at handover. Optional paid integrations are agreed separately.
Simple, labelled controls keep your design consistent. Save a draft, preview it, then publish when you’re happy. You can bring back a saved version too.
Try the Client Studio demo ↗No sign-in needed for the demo. Try a café, a local service or a wellbeing business. Your real studio is set up around your own website.
Support as your business changes.
Website care includes up to 30 minutes of small content updates per quarter, from launch; unused time does not roll over. Fixes to faults in the agreed delivered website are included during care. New pages, new features, redesigns and work beyond the allowance are quoted before work begins. Email support is available on UK working days, with an initial response normally within two working days; this is not an emergency service.
Send over the changes and any new text or images, and we’ll agree a suitable time to get them done. Support keeps your existing website current. New pages, new features, major redesigns and ongoing rounds of revisions to an approved design are quoted separately, with any extra cost agreed before work begins.
YEAR TWO & BEYOND · YOUR CHOICE
Keep your website looked after.
£149.99 per year after the first 12 months
Continue with an annual care plan if you would like me to keep managing the practical side. Billed annually, including any applicable tax.
- Continued managed hosting and HTTPS certificate management
- Routine security maintenance for the website I maintain
- Website file and content backups, with restoration help
- One standard domain renewal per year, up to £20
- Up to 30 minutes of small content changes per quarter
Small changes include supplied text, photographs, prices and opening hours on existing pages. The quarterly allowance does not roll over. New pages, new features, major redesigns and work beyond the allowance are quoted before work begins.
I’ll contact you at least 30 days before your care plan ends so you can choose whether to renew. The next year’s price and any extras are confirmed before you commit; there is no automatic renewal charge.
CLEAR FROM THE START
Your website. Your choice.
Do I own the website?
Yes. The website built for you is yours once the agreed project fee is paid; the first year is a period of included care, not a website rental. Your domain is registered in your name and your own content remains yours. Third-party fonts, photographs, software and services remain subject to their own licences.
What if I do not renew?
You keep your website and domain. Before the included year or paid care period ends, we arrange a handover of your website files, available content exports and the information needed to move. You or your new provider then take responsibility for hosting, domain renewals, security, backups and maintenance.
Managed hosting and support end at the agreed date, so replacement hosting must be in place to keep the website online. A move to a different platform or further development is quoted separately.
Can I take Client Studio with me?
Your handover includes the website and its available content. Client Studio’s editing and publishing features depend on its hosting setup. We explain those requirements before you buy and again at handover; another provider may need to configure compatible hosting or offer an alternative editor. It is not guaranteed to run unchanged on every host.
What does included security cover?
HTTPS encrypts the connection between your visitors and the website. Managed care includes certificate management, the hosting platform’s standard protections, and routine security maintenance for the site I manage. It also includes backups and restoration help. No website can be guaranteed immune from every threat.
You remain responsible for keeping your account credentials safe. Specialist security services, third-party accounts and custom apps need their own agreed scope.
How does the domain allowance work?
The first-year package includes one standard domain registration costing up to £20, or connection of a domain you already own. The annual care plan includes one renewal up to £20. Premium domains, extra domains and any amount above the allowance are agreed with you first. The allowance has no cash value.
An existing domain’s renewal date may differ from your website launch date. Your written quote confirms who handles any renewal falling within the first year. Business email mailboxes and subscriptions are separate.
What do you need from me, and when can we launch?
We agree your pages, content, review round and start date before payment. You supply your approved text, branding and images, unless copywriting, branding or photography is included in your quote. You approve the finished pages before launch. Timing depends on the agreed scope and receiving your content and feedback.
Digital work without the distance barrier.
I design and redesign websites remotely for clients across the UK and internationally. We can use suitable images you already have or plan a separate photography shoot around the project.
On-location photography is primarily in Dumfries & Galloway and surrounding areas. Wider UK shoots are available by arrangement, with travel and project costs agreed in the quote.
A good website starts with a clear customer journey.
