Frequently asked questions
Straight answers before you get started
If your question is not covered below, call or email David for a direct answer.
How much does a trade website cost?
Our Starter website is £499 + VAT. Growth and Pro packages are available for businesses that need more service pages, location content or lead-generation features.
What is included in the £499 package?
It includes a 5-7 page professionally designed website, mobile-friendly layouts, SEO-ready structure, core written content, contact forms, an SSL certificate, privacy policy essentials, first year’s hosting and launch support.
How quickly can my website go live?
Our target is 10 working days from receiving your completed brief, logo, usable images and the information needed to begin.
Do I need to write the website content?
No. Complete our short business brief and send any available photographs. We write the core content for you, then you check the details and approve it before launch.
Can I pay a deposit?
Yes. You can secure your website build with a £200 deposit and agree a monthly payment arrangement. Standard two-stage payment is also available.
How much is hosting?
The first year’s managed hosting is included in the website build price. From year two, managed hosting is £100 + VAT per year and includes renewal of a standard UK domain when it is managed by us.
Will I own my website and domain?
You retain ownership of your domain, logo, photographs and original content. Once all project fees are paid, you may use the final website design and content created specifically for your project. We explain the hosting arrangement and any applicable third-party licences before work begins.
Will the website rank on Google?
Every website has strong SEO foundations, but rankings depend on competition, location, authority and ongoing work. Our monthly SEO packages are designed for businesses that want sustained growth.
Can you improve my Google Business Profile?
Yes. Profile optimisation is included in our SEO packages and can also be quoted as a focused one-off service.
Why do I need a website if I use Facebook or Checkatrade?
Facebook, trade directories and referrals can generate work, but you do not control those platforms. Your own website gives customers a trusted place to see your services, locations, reviews and previous work, while supporting your visibility on Google.
Do you work with trades across the UK?
Yes. We work with sole traders and trade businesses across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
What happens after launch?
Your first year’s hosting is included in the build price. Hosting renews at £100 + VAT per year from year two. You can request occasional updates or choose an optional SEO campaign, but you are not required to purchase an ongoing SEO package. David remains your direct point of contact.
Can you use my existing domain?
Yes. We can connect an existing domain or help arrange a new one. We will explain any access or transfer steps clearly.
Do you build booking or e-commerce websites?
Yes, where they make sense. These are quoted separately because the cost depends on the booking, payment, product and integration requirements.
