Why Pay £5,000+ Upfront When You Can Pay £175/Month?
Most web agencies demand massive upfront payments. I believe great websites should be accessible to all businesses with simple, affordable monthly pricing.
- Huge upfront investment risk
- WordPress security vulnerabilities
- Slow, template-based websites
- Poor support after launch
- Hidden maintenance costs

Speed Deep-Dive
WordPress loads slowly because it builds each page from a database every time someone visits. Our hand-coded sites are pre-built files that browsers load instantly.
Security Reality
WordPress sites are hacked every 39 seconds globally. Static hand-coded sites have no database to attack - they're simply files on a server.
Real Cost Analysis
WordPress 'free' becomes £20-100+ monthly with hosting, premium themes, security plugins, and maintenance. Our transparent pricing includes everything.
