No. 50% books your slot and the other 50% is due at launch. Monthly plans are billed monthly, in advance.

Yes. The price on the site is the price you pay. Anything marked 'from' (ecommerce, web apps and automation work) is quoted after one call, because the scope really does change there. Either way, you have the number before we start.

Domain registration, hosting beyond the first year, stock photography licences and third-party subscriptions. We'll flag anything like that before you commit.

No. The first call is free and there's no obligation. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so.

Tell us what you're trying to do and we'll tell you which fits, or say if something smaller would do. We'd rather point you to the right thing than upsell you.

Because 'website' covers everything from a one-page brochure to a busy service business with a CMS, forms and search work behind it. You're often comparing different jobs, which is why we publish what each of ours includes.

For a holding page, sometimes. For a business that needs enquiries, a template usually costs more in lost leads than it saved on the build.

For most Essex small businesses, between £495 and £2,495, depending on how many pages you need and whether you sell online. A simple site sits at the lower end, a shop at the higher end. See the website prices.

Yes, if the site is small, the words are ready, and you're not building a brand from scratch at the same time. Bigger sites take longer, and you get a date for yours before we start.

Then the clock starts when the words do. We can shape the copy with you, and the Local Business site includes it, but a blank document isn't a two-week build.

Yes. The Local Business site comes with a CMS, so you can change words, pictures and pages without calling us. If you'd rather not, small changes are part of every care plan.

No. Every site is designed around your business and built from scratch, styled to your brand. It loads fast, it's yours, and it doesn't look like a thousand others.

Yes. We look at what's working first and keep the pages and content that already bring people in. The old addresses are redirected to the new pages, so you keep the search traffic you've built.

Yes. Ecommerce starts at £2,495: your product catalogue, secure checkout with Stripe or Shopify, order management and an admin dashboard you run yourself. Scoped and quoted after a discovery call.

Yes. Booking systems, payments, customer accounts and anything with a database behind it are Ecommerce & Web Apps: shops from £2,495 and custom web apps typically from £3,500, quoted after one call.

Yes. Speed is designed in from the first sketch, not bolted on after. Local Business sites are built to score 90+ on Google's Lighthouse test, because a slow page loses people before they read a word.

Yes. We configure both as part of the build. You register the domain in your own name, so it is always yours, and we'll walk you through it if you haven't done it before. After launch, a care plan keeps the site hosted and looked after.

Google looks at the mobile version of your site first when it decides where you rank. A slow or awkward phone layout costs you places as well as customers, so we check every page at real phone sizes before launch.

That's what we build for: pages that load fast, don't jump about as they load, and answer a tap straight away. Google measures them on real visitors' phones, which is another reason we design for the phone first.

Often, yes. If the site is sound underneath, we fix the phone layout. If it isn't, a rebuild is usually quicker and cheaper than patching, and we'll tell you which before you spend anything.

Yes. Native apps for both, designed around how your customers will use them, with App Store and Google Play submission handled. See app pricing.

With us, a standalone app that runs entirely on the phone, with no accounts or server, is £5,000. An app with a backend (accounts, payments and a cloud database) starts at £10,000, and most land between £10,000 and £15,000, scoped to what you need.

Weeks, not months, for a standalone app. An app with a backend is scoped to the build, and you get a date before we start.

Yes, we handle the submission to both. The app goes out under your own developer accounts (Apple charges a yearly fee, Google a one-off one), so it's published in your name and stays yours.

Yes. A standalone app works offline and keeps its data on the phone, which suits tools, calculators, guides and content apps.

Yes, as an App with Backend: user accounts, a cloud database that syncs across devices, subscriptions and in-app purchases, push notifications and an admin dashboard.

Often a good mobile site is enough, and it costs less. An app earns its place when people use it often, need it offline or want notifications. Tell us what you're trying to do and we'll say honestly which fits.

Yes. We've taken our own apps from sketch to the App Store, with real users on the other side, so we're not learning on your project.

Local SEO Setup is £495 for one business location: a technical audit and priority fixes, Google Business Profile setup or optimisation, local keyword mapping, on-page work on up to 5 priority pages, core listings and citations, and a clear action plan. SEO Care, at £129 a month, keeps it in shape with up to an hour of agreed work a month. See marketing prices.

Useful movement usually takes months, not days. If someone promises the first page of Google in two weeks, they're selling something else.

Yes. Showing up on Maps and in the local results comes from your Google Business Profile. Every Starter site comes with it connected, and Local SEO Setup sets it up and optimises it properly.

The foundations are. Every site is search-ready and connected to Google Business, and the Local Business site includes local SEO foundations. The ongoing work, like listings, a keyword map and a content plan, is Local SEO Setup.

No, and nobody honest can. What we can do is fix what's holding your site back and give you a plan with a real chance, especially in local search, where a small business can beat bigger names.

It's rarely the platform. Wix has the technical basics now. Most sites that don't rank have thin copy, generic page titles and pages that don't match what people actually search for. Fix those before you think about moving.

No, we don't manage paid ad campaigns. We make the ads themselves, ready for you to run (product ads), and we set up the search traffic you don't pay per click for.

Take the repetitive work off your team: enquiries answered, leads flagged, quotes and follow-ups sent, bookings logged and data kept in sync between your tools. We start with the jobs where it pays for itself and leave people the work they do better.

A Quick Automation starts at £795, with monthly care from £49 a month. A bigger build with several connected workflows starts at £1,995, with monthly care from £99 a month. Care is priced by complexity and usage. See automation prices.

Agreed hosting, monitoring and maintenance, so it keeps running when a tool you use changes, plus AI, API and platform usage up to an allowance we agree with you. Extra usage and new features are priced separately, and no separate care plan is needed.

No. We build around the tools you already use, then hand it over running, with everything documented.

Yes, for the questions you answer every day, like opening times, prices, availability and bookings. It replies straight away, day or night, and passes anything that needs you on to you.

Brand Basics (£449) gives you a primary logo with secondary, icon and monogram versions, a colour palette, typography, favicon and social versions and a one-page style guide, from 2 first concepts with 2 rounds of revisions. Full Identity (£895) adds full guidelines, stationery, social templates, an organised asset library and usage rules. See branding prices.

Yes. You get exported SVG and PNG files and the editable source files we agree, yours to keep, so anyone can use your brand without asking us for files.

Yes. Send us a clear photo of the product and we'll design the ads in Photoshop, then hand them over sized for every feed, ready to run.

In Photoshop. We cut the product out of your photo and build the scene, the light and the type around it, so the product stays exactly as it is: the ad shows what you actually sell.

A single ad is £59, a pack of five is £229, and eight fresh ads a month is £299 a month. Every ad comes in every size, with the words written, at no extra cost. Running the ads and the media spend stay with you. See ad prices.

Square, portrait and full-screen for Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube Shorts, plus landscape for Google when you need it.

The packages are static ads. A short video version for Reels, TikTok and Shorts is quoted separately: ask when you send the product and we'll tell you the price first.

Tell us about your project and we'll book a call. It's a call, not a pitch: we ask what you actually need, then send a fixed price and a date.

The person building it. You ask them directly, not a form or an account manager, and nothing gets handed off to someone you've never spoken to.

Your words, your photos (or a plan to get them) and one person who signs things off. Most of any timeline is waiting on content and feedback, so those keep your project moving.

You see a real concept early, before any code is written. If it's wrong, we change it then. Revisions sit in clear rounds, so it stays on time and on budget.

We build with modern tools, and there aren't four people signing off every decision. Most of a normal agency timeline is waiting, not working.

Yes, a small one: an independent digital agency in Essex (we call it a studio). Web design, apps, branding, product ads, AI automation and local SEO, done by the people you talk to, with every price published.

Yes. Websites, apps, branding, product ads, AI automation and marketing, designed and built by the same studio, so nothing gets lost between agencies.

Yes. The Starter site and Brand Basics are made for new businesses that need to look professional from day one, without a big budget.

Care, at £59 a month, covers hosting where it applies, uptime monitoring, security updates, backups, up to 30 minutes of small changes a month and email support. Growth, at £229, adds 3 hours of development or optimisation a month, ongoing improvements and performance reporting. Partner, at £499, gives you 4 hours of development and 3 hours of content or SEO support a month, priority handling, scheduled phone support and monthly updates. Hours are monthly allowances and don't roll over. See care plans.

No 12-month lock-in. Care plans run month to month, with 30 days' notice, any time.

Care covers small changes up to 30 minutes a month, Growth includes 3 hours of development a month, and Partner 4 hours of development plus 3 of content or SEO support. Hours don't roll over. Anything beyond that, or if you're not on a plan, we quote up front before we start.

Yes. You own the site, the code and the assets, so you can take them anywhere. We hand everything over and help with the move.

Care plans cover what we build and host. If your site was built elsewhere, send it over and we'll tell you honestly whether to keep it, fix it or rebuild it.
