The usual model for getting a website goes like this:

1. Pay £2,000–£5,000 up front
2. Wait 6–8 weeks
3. Hope it’s good enough to bring in customers

That might work for big firms with marketing budgets. But for most small businesses around Surrey, it’s a major barrier.

Worse, many pay thousands for something that ends up underperforming — slow to load, impossible to update, and not even ranking on Google.

So you’ve lost money twice: once paying for it, and again when it fails to bring in new business.

Instead of demanding thousands up front, I spread the cost over time — but the quality stays the same (or better).

You get:

• A custom-built, mobile-first, SEO-ready site
• No templates, no drag-and-drop builders, no bloated themes
• Hosting, updates, and support included
• £0 upfront, £175/month

This approach works for you because it’s easier to budget — and it works for me because I get to build better sites for people who actually need them.

There usually is. Some “£0 upfront” offers out there come with serious strings attached:

• Hidden setup fees or extra charges for “support”
• Cookie-cutter designs that aren’t tailored to your business
• No SEO optimisation, tracking, or performance benchmarks

These deals are cheap for a reason — the provider is betting on volume, not quality.

I’m not interested in that. I build fewer sites, but build them properly. If you cancel, I lose a client — so I have skin in the game to make sure it delivers real results.

Here’s how the maths stacks up:

Over 12 months, you’re paying about £2,100 with me — which is less than many pay up front for something half as useful. But with my model, it’s spread out, maintained, and continually supported.

When I became a dad, I wanted to build something sustainable that I could provide some serious value with for local businesses from the comfort of my home (gotta get that kid-time in).

I’ve seen too many local businesses (and in general) overpaying for poor websites, or worse — not getting one at all because of the upfront cost.

So I built a model that made sense: offer the same level of work I’d do for an expensive custom project, but on terms that small businesses can actually afford.

Yes — you can get a great website without paying thousands up front.

But only if it’s built properly, by someone who actually understands performance, design, and what makes a website work for a local business.

If you want something that’s fast, tailored, mobile-friendly, and designed to convert — without hurting your cashflow — this model was built for you.
