  • Focused on clear brochure websites for small businesses
  • One accountable builder, public prices and plain-English scope

A proper website should not require an agency-sized ordeal

Plenty of small businesses need a clear place online. They do not need a strategy workshop, twelve people on a video call and a quote that appears only after everyone has said “synergy” enough times. They need customers to understand the business and know what to do next.

This service keeps that job small on purpose. Packages have page limits. Revision rounds are written down. Prices are public. Extra work is agreed before it happens. The result is less faff for the owner and less chance of a simple site growing tentacles halfway through the build.

No peacocking. No porkies.

No awards bought from a dodgy badge shop. No miracle results plucked from thin air. One named person is responsible for the work and the reply, and any reviews or results shown must be genuine and approved. Until then, the public prices and live examples do the talking.

You can judge the offer using the visible pricing, the written scope, public visual references and the quality of the conversation before committing.

Start with what a customer needs to know

Every useful brochure site answers the same basic questions. What does the business do? Who is it for? Where does it operate? Why should somebody trust it? What should they do next? Design matters, but it should help those answers land. It should not hide them under clever-looking bollocks.

Rough notes are allowed

You can send plain notes, existing links, phone photos and the bits already sitting in a folder somewhere. Anything missing will be explained in normal language. Feedback works best in one clear batch per revision round. Nobody needs to learn design jargon or pretend to enjoy project-management software.

Normal businesses with a clear job to do

  • A first website for a trade, service, shop, venue or side business
  • A tidy brochure site with up to eight agreed pages
  • An older site that looks a bit shite on phones and needs a sensible refresh
  • An owner who wants direct answers about price, scope and ownership

Apps, large shops and sprawling custom builds

Cheap as Chips is for brochure websites. A large ecommerce operation, marketplace, custom booking platform, membership system or complicated migration needs separate discovery and pricing. Saying that early is better than squeezing a huge job into a small package and making everybody miserable.

Lean, productised brochure websites

Choose this route for clear packages from £99, up to eight pages, defined revisions and a quick remote process. Read about small business websites or website refreshes.

Bigger or more bespoke work

If a brief has outgrown the fixed packages, it will be scoped and quoted separately. No trying to cram a pub banquet into a crisp packet just to make the headline price fit.
