For small businesses and sole proprietors
How the $49 a month website works
I build your site to bring in calls and enquiries, then host it and look after it, and you deal with me directly. This page sets out how it works: what you get, what you do not, the steps to go live, how your domain works and how billing and cancelling work.
Built, hosted and looked after for $49 a month, billed monthly. No set-up fee. Month 1 is charged when you start.
No set-up fee. Renews monthly; cancel with 30 days' notice.
What you get
Built to get you the call
Pages that load quickly on a phone, set up for local search, with an enquiry form that sends each request straight to you.
Online booking on Square Appointments
I set it up on your own Square account: up to 5 services, your availability, a deposit taken through your own Square account, reminders, an embed on your site and a link from Google, and one test booking, recorded.
Google Analytics events
Every site on the plan sends Google Analytics events for taps to call and email, the enquiry form, clicks to book where the site has Square booking, directions and pages, to a property that you own, at no extra cost.
A privacy page
A short privacy page on your site that says, in plain words, that the site uses Google Analytics.
A site built for you
I build it from what you send me, and you see it before it goes live.
Hosting and looking after it
Hosting, backups, security updates and fixes when something breaks are part of the monthly price.
Small updates
Changes to text, photos, hours and prices after launch are included. New pages or features are quoted separately.
Looked after every day
An AI agent reviews your site's numbers every day and fixes small technical things on its own. I approve any change to your words before it goes live. It's part of the plan, at no extra cost.
Me, directly
No account manager and no junior bench. You write to me and I answer.
How you know it is done
Live on your domain, with your pages indexed and a test enquiry reaching your inbox.
What is not included
The domain
The domain is bought and paid for separately from the monthly price. It stays in your name, and you keep it if you leave.
Email at your domain
Email at your domain is not included. You keep it or buy it from an email provider, and I set up the records so it works alongside the site.
Square's own fees
Square bills you directly, on your own account, at its prices (card fees, and a paid plan if your set-up needs one).
Bigger features
Bigger pages or features beyond the plan are quoted before I start.
The pages are agreed on the intake call.
From enquiry to live
Ask
Send a short enquiry with the form. I reply within 24 hours.
Start
Use the link to start. No set-up fee. Month 1 is charged when you start.
Send what I need
You supply the words and photos. This is the list:
- Your business name, what you do and the area you serve.
- Your logo, and any photos of your work you want on the site.
- The domain you own or want to use, and where it is registered.
- Anything you want it to say: services, prices, reviews you are happy to quote.
- For online booking: your services, up to 5, with how long each takes and the price, and your usual availability and any days you are closed.
- For online booking: a Square account you own, with an invitation to it. The deposits go to you, not through me.
- Your Google Analytics 4 measurement ID (it starts with G-) and add me as an Editor on that property, or say you don't have one and I'll set it up with you on the intake call.
A short intake call
On the intake call we agree the pages and the enquiry form.
Build and preview
I build it, and you see it before it goes live.
Live
Live on your domain, with your pages indexed and a test enquiry reaching your inbox.
Looked after
From then on I host it, keep it updated and fix what breaks, and I make the small updates you ask for. An AI agent reviews your site's numbers every day and fixes small technical things on its own. I approve any change to your words before it goes live. It's part of the plan, at no extra cost.
Your domain, two ways
Your domain is your web address. Either way it is bought and paid for separately from the monthly price, and you keep it if you leave.
| Transfer it to me | Keep it where it is | |
|---|---|---|
| Who owns it | Transfer it to meYou. It stays registered in your name. | Keep it where it isYou. It stays at your registrar, in your name. |
| Who manages it | Transfer it to meI manage its settings (the DNS), so the site and your email records stay connected. | Keep it where it isYou, at your registrar. You point it at the site. |
| Who renews and pays | Transfer it to meYou pay the registrar's yearly renewal directly. | Keep it where it isYou, at your registrar, as you do now. |
| If you leave | Transfer it to meYou keep it. | Keep it where it isYou keep it, and there is nothing to move. |
| What you do | Transfer it to meAsk your registrar to unlock the domain and give you the authorisation code, also called the EPP code, and send it to me. | Keep it where it isChange the DNS settings at your registrar to point at the site. I tell you exactly what to enter. |
Not sure which suits you? Say so on the intake call and we choose together.
