Websites for local businesses
A proper website for your business.£99 a month.
I build it, host it and keep it updated. No setup fee. No minimum term.
See your new site before you decide.
I put a few designs together
A few different designs for the top of your new homepage, the part people see first. I’ll send them over with a short video walking you through them.
You pick your favourite
Tell me which one you like best, or say none of them are right and I’ll have another go. If you would rather leave it there, that’s fine and it has cost you nothing.
I build the rest
If you want to go ahead, I’ll build out the rest of the site around the design you picked and have it live within a week.

Your website built for you
A homepage and up to three more pages, designed and built around your business.
The words written for you
I can write the content for you to approve, or you can send in your own if you prefer.
The technical side sorted
I keep your site online and safe, connect it to your web address, and make sure messages from your contact form land in your inbox.
Changes when you need them
Prices, services, photos, opening hours, contact details. Email me, and I’ll sort it.
Someone keeping an eye on it
I check the site is up and that enquiries are coming through, and I remind you when your web address is due for renewal so it never lapses.
One person looking after it
The person who built your website is the person who answers when you email about it.
No sales call. No commitment.
Is this for me?
Yes, if your website mainly needs to explain what you do, where you work and how people can get hold of you.
- Dog groomers
- Photographers
- Salons
- Gardeners
- Builders
- Cleaners
- Etc.
Probably not, if
Your website changes every day, or you need to manage stock levels or products yourself. You’ll need a different sort of website from the one I build.
Who’ll be building your site.
I’m Sam. I build and look after every Website Studio site. If something needs doing, you email me and I sort it.
- No ‘agency’
- No ‘sales team’
- No ‘account manager’
Things you might be wondering.
Is there anything extra to pay?
No setup fee and no VAT. The £99 a month covers the build, the hosting and the changes. The only other cost is your web address, which you buy and renew yourself, usually for a few pounds a year. Shops, bookings and extra pages are quoted before I start on them. The fee is reviewed each April, by no more than 10%, with a month’s notice.
What if I already have a website?
I’ll move it across for you. If I need a login or your say-so on anything, I’ll ask as I go.
What if I want to leave?
Give me a month’s notice. There’s no exit fee. Your web address and your content stay yours, and I’ll send you the site files, though another designer will usually rebuild the site their own way rather than use them.
What do you need from me?
Your business name and what you do. I can use what’s already public about you for the designs, so there’s nothing to prepare.
How and when do I pay?
Nothing until you’ve picked a design and want to go ahead. Then I send you a short form about your business, and GoCardless, who handle the payments, take your first £99 and set up a Direct Debit for £99 a month after that. You see the whole site before it goes live, within a week.
Do I need to have a call?
No. It’s all done by email, with the odd short video when something is easier to show than to write.
Let’s see what your new site could look like.
I’ll put a few designs together for the top of your new homepage and send you a short video walking you through them, usually within a few days. It’s free, and there’s no sales call or commitment.
