The process, from first email to launch

Our team has been designing websites for small businesses since 2008. Nothing needs to happen in person: you send what you have by email and see the whole website on a temporary link before it goes live.

1. Sign up online in roughly 5 minutes, then email us your logo and a few photos.
2. Within 3 working days, your website is ready on a temporary link, built with your brand on a proven professional template.
3. When you are happy with it, you approve, the first £69 fee is issued, and the site is published on your domain.

Later on, updates to text, photos and prices go by email and cost nothing extra.
