Monthly website vs a four-figure agency quote
Agencies often quote thousands before you have seen a page. We send a private demo in 24–48 hours. You start at £49 a month only if you approve it.
A classic agency quote often asks for a large sum before anyone has seen a page. We do the other way round. You get a private brochure demo in 24–48 hours. If it is right, you start a monthly plan from £49. If it is wrong, you stop there.
What a monthly plan includes
Start is up to five pages, copy in British English, two edits a month, hosting and email forwards. Pro is £69 for more pages and a contact form. Business is £99 when you need more room and same-day support on UK working days. None of them has a setup fee.
What you own
The domain is in your name. You own your copy, photos and brand. If you leave, you keep those. A published buyout — ten times the monthly fee, capped at £1,200 — transfers the live build so you can host it elsewhere.
When an agency quote still makes sense
If you need a custom app, a large shop, or a design system with a team of six, a project quote may be the honest product. We say that on /how-it-works. We will not sell you a brochure plan for work it cannot do.
Try the cheaper test
The cheap test is a demo, not a workshop. See /pricing#site and request one at /start. You owe nothing until you say yes.
