Why Cheap as Chips exists
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 drawn-out sales routine before they can see a price.
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.
Who is accountable
One person responsible for the work and the reply
Cheap as Chips Websites is run by Manchester web designer Kieran Lewis, so you know who will handle the
work and reply. Any published reviews or results will be genuine and approved for use.
You can judge the offer using the visible pricing, the written scope,
public visual references and the quality of the conversation before committing.
The approach
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 unnecessary jargon.
Working together
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.
A good fit
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 does not work well on phones and needs a sensible refresh
- An owner who wants direct answers about price, scope and ownership
Not the budget route
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.
Cheap as Chips route
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.
Outside the fixed packages
Larger or more bespoke work
If a brief has outgrown the fixed packages, it gets a larger written scope instead of being forced into
a small package.
