UK web studio · Design, build, host & maintain · Currently taking new projects

We build your website, put it online, and look after it every month.

Tell us what your business does. We design the pages, write the layout, set up hosting, forms and payments, and hand you a live web address. After launch, a monthly plan covers updates, backups, security and fixes — so you never have to touch the code or the server.

What we build

The things we actually make

Each one is built from a blank file around your content — not dropped into a template. Here is what you get in each case.

01

Business website

We design and build your pages, connect your domain, and host the finished site. You get a live address and a login — no servers to manage and no code to edit on your end.

Custom design Domain setup Managed hosting
02

Online shop

Product pages, a cart, and a checkout wired to Stripe. We load your first products, set up order and receipt emails, and test a real payment so you can take orders on day one.

Stripe checkout Product pages Order emails
03

Landing page

A single page for one product, campaign or event, with a contact or signup form that drops each enquiry straight into your inbox. Useful when you need one focused page, fast.

One page Lead form Fast to ship
04

Client portal / dashboard

A login-protected area where your customers or staff see only their own data — bookings, orders, accounts, files. We build it around the way you already work rather than a fixed layout.

User logins Private data Custom screens
05

Monthly maintenance

Each month we install software updates, take backups, apply security patches, and fix anything that breaks. When you need a change, you email it and we make it — you don't open an editor.

Updates Backups Bug fixes
06

SEO & speed

We set page titles, headings and metadata so search engines can read the site, compress images and code so pages load quickly, and send a short monthly report on what changed and where you rank.

On-page SEO Page speed Monthly report
07

Security cover

Malware scanning, a firewall, an SSL certificate and uptime monitoring. If something is flagged, we clean it, restore from backup if needed, and tell you exactly what happened. See the security packages →

How it works

What happens after you get in touch

Four steps from first message to a live site. Most projects move from brief to launch inside a week.

1

You send a short brief

You fill in a quick form: what your business does, the pages you need, and a few sites whose style you like. It takes about five minutes, and that's everything we need to start.

2

We design and build the first draft

We draw a layout around your content and build it — usually within two to three days. Your text and images go in as we go, so you're looking at your real site, not a generic mock-up.

3

You review it on a private link

We send a preview link. You tell us what to change — wording, colours, layout, anything — and we revise it. We keep going round until you're happy with every page.

4

We put it live

We connect your domain, switch the site live, and send you the logins and a short guide. From here your monthly plan takes over for updates and upkeep.

Pricing

What you pay, and what each charge covers

There are two charges: a one-time initial site audit & onboarding fee to build the site, and a monthly fee to host and look after it. No long contracts.

Monthly plans

What the monthly fee covers

After launch, your plan keeps the site hosted and maintained and sets how many changes you can request each month. Pick a tier, or move up later — there's no lock-in.

Why there's a monthly fee

A live site needs hosting, backups and upkeep every month

Software needs patching, files need backing up, and content needs changing. The plan pays for the server it runs on and the time we spend keeping it current — instead of a surprise bill each time something needs doing.

What to expect

How working with us actually goes

The practical side of the engagement — turnaround, how the build is done, and what lands in your account each month.

First drafts in days, not weeks

Most first drafts land two to three days after your brief. Once the site is live, routine edits are usually done the same week you ask for them.

Built from scratch, not a template

We start each project from an empty file and lay the design out around your content. Nothing is forced into a stock theme, so the site fits what your business actually does.

Built for phones first

Most visitors arrive on a phone, so every page is designed and checked at phone width before anything else, then scaled up to tablet and desktop.

Hosting and uptime are our problem

Your site runs on managed hosting with SSL and automatic backups. If it goes down or something breaks, we're the ones alerted — you don't have to notice first.

In a normal month you get
  • Software and security updates applied
  • Backups taken and checked
  • Your requested content changes made
  • Uptime watched, with fixes if needed
  • A short report on speed and SEO
  • A reply from a person when you email
Referrals

Refer a business, get £100

If someone you send to us buys a plan, we pay you £100 once their site is live. No cap, no sign-up form, and it's open worldwide.

£100
for every business that buys — anywhere in the world

You earn £100 each time someone you refer purchases a website, paid after their site is live. Refer ten and that's £1,000; there's no ceiling. Outside the UK, we pay the equivalent of £100 in your local currency, including US dollars.

Message us to refer someone
£100

Per client

You get £100 for every client you refer who places an order, paid directly to you.

No cap

Unlimited referrals

There's no limit on how many you can refer or how much you can earn in total.

No form

Nothing to sign up for

Send people our way and tell us you referred them. That's the whole process.

How a referral works

1

Tell someone

Point a business owner or anyone who needs a website to The Website Plug.

2

They order

They visit the site and buy one of our website plans.

3

They name you

When they order, they tell us who sent them. That's all we need.

4

You're paid £100

Once their site is live, we pay you £100, or the equivalent in your currency.

No minimum number of referrals. Open to referrers outside the UK — earnings are paid in your local currency (US dollars and most major currencies supported) after the client's order is confirmed and their site is delivered.

Reviews

What clients say happened

A few notes from people we've built for — focused on how the work actually went.

“They sent a first draft two days after my brief and changed the bits I didn't like the same afternoon. The site was live by the end of that week.”

Daniel Okafor
Okafor Consulting, Leeds

“I needed a shop up before a product drop. The cart and Stripe checkout were working within 48 hours, and I took my first orders the next day.”

Priya Nair
Founder, Maru Goods

“Updates used to take my old developer a week. Now I email the change and it's usually done by the next morning. That alone was worth switching.”
