Is Your Launch Waiting on a Website? 📉

The template trap

A startup website design has one job at launch: make a new business look like one that has been around a while, to the first customers, the first hires and anyone doing due diligence. A template site with stock photos and placeholder copy does the opposite. We build to your proposition, with your words and a design that looks like a company rather than a theme, and we do it on a timescale that does not hold the launch up.

Built for the next version, not just this one

Most startup sites are rebuilt within a year because the first one could not take a blog, a second product, a careers page or a checkout. We build on WordPress with a structure that takes all of those without a redesign, so the site you launch is the site you scale.

Your site, your code, your content

You own everything: the site, the code and the content. If you raise, get acquired, hire an in-house team or outgrow us, it all moves with you. We would rather you stayed because the work is good than because the contract says so.

Built for Growth 🚀

SEO and analytics from the start

A new domain starts with no history, so the technical foundations have to be right from the first crawl: clean structure, fast loading, correct indexing, Search Console and GA4 connected, and the pages Google needs to understand what you do. Our guide to SEO for a new website explains why that matters more for a startup than for anyone else, and we build every one of those points in.

Pages that convert the first customers

Startups live on conversion rate, because early traffic is small and every visitor counts. Clear calls to action, a short enquiry or sign-up path, proof wherever you have it (early customers, press, founders’ backgrounds), and a layout that reads on a phone. We measure it after launch and tell you what to change.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How much does a startup website cost?

Our startup websites start at £399 + VAT for a single page (a launch or waiting-list page), £699 + VAT for five pages and £799 + VAT for ten, with bespoke builds quoted individually. The fee is one-off and includes first-year UK hosting, your domain and email, SSL and ongoing support. No monthly fee, no contract, and you own the site outright. Our web design services page sets out the packages in full.

How quickly can you launch?

A single-page launch site can be live within days of sign-off; a five- or ten-page site in a few weeks, depending on how fast content and feedback come back from your side. We agree the date at the start and plan the build around it.

We do not have content or branding yet. Can you still start?

Yes. We write the copy from a short interview about the proposition, and we can produce a simple brand (logo, colours, type) as part of the build if you do not have one. Most startups we build for arrive with an idea and a name, not a brand book.

Which platform do you build on?

WordPress for brochure and service sites, WooCommerce where you sell online, because both take a blog, new pages, a shop and integrations without a rebuild, and because you are never locked in. Our WordPress web design page explains the choice; if you are selling physical or digital products from day one, our ecommerce web design service covers that.

Will the site grow with us?

That is the point of building it properly. A product page becomes a product range, a news page becomes a blog, a contact form becomes a booking or checkout, and the design holds. If you later need a custom app or a headless build, the content and the domain move with you.

Do we have to pay a monthly fee?

No. One fee for the design and build, then hosting at cost after the first free year if you want to stay with us. The site, the code and the content are yours, and you can move hosts whenever you like.

What happens after launch? We need customers, not just a site.

The site is built to be found and to convert, but a new domain needs traffic. Most startups pair the build with small business SEO or paid search for the first months, and we offer both. We will tell you which fits your budget and timescale before you spend anything.
