Manchester-based, honestly

A base, not a pretend national office network

Cheap as Chips Websites is genuinely based in Manchester. It is not presented as a public studio, a walk-in shop or a promise of face-to-face meetings. The service works online, which keeps the process simple and makes the same packages available to a business in Manchester, Glasgow, Cardiff, Belfast or anywhere else in the UK.

Manchester matters because it is home. It gives the brand a real place and a bit of northern plain speaking. It does not mean every heading needs a bee emoji or that somebody in Bristol has to pay extra for crossing an imaginary line on a map.

What is being sold

Clear brochure websites, not digital transformation bollocks

The service covers focused websites for trades, shops, hospitality, independent services, side businesses and other small organisations with something real to explain. Pages are designed for modern phones and desktops. They use clear headings, readable copy and obvious contact routes.

It is not the route for a large online shop, custom app or complicated member platform. Those jobs need a different budget and a longer process. The point here is to do the normal website job well, then stop before a simple brief becomes a saga.

How remote delivery works

You send the useful bits

Start with the enquiry form. Include what the business does, the current website if there is one, the rough package and any deadline that genuinely matters. Links, phone photos, logos and messy notes are all fine. Nobody expects a polished creative brief from a person who has a business to run.

Then it stays clear

Agree the scope before the build

The simplest sensible package is recommended. You receive the scope and price before paying a 50% deposit. The first version is built once the core content arrives. Feedback is handled in the included revision rounds, then the balance is paid before handover or launch.

Package snapshot

How much does a small business website cost?

  • Launch, £99–£149: one page and one revision round

  • Hosting: available from £4.99 a month and priced separately

The full pricing page explains ownership, deposits, inclusions and extras.

Search foundations

Built so search engines can understand the pages

The agreed pages receive descriptive titles, meta descriptions, clear headings, indexable content and sensible internal links. That is what SEO-ready means here. It is a foundation, not a guaranteed number-one ranking. Competition, reputation, useful content and links still matter after launch.

Read what SEO-ready actually includes before anybody sells you fairy dust in a dashboard.

Good fit

A small business that needs a proper place online

  • You rely on recommendations or social profiles and need a site you control
  • Your current website looks knackered or behaves badly on phones
  • Customers keep asking basic questions the website should answer
  • You want public prices and a direct conversation with the person doing the work

Useful routes

New build or refresh?

Choose small business website design if you need a fresh start. Choose a website refresh if the current site has good bones but looks a bit shite. If you cannot tell, select “Not sure” on the form. That is a normal answer.

Do you only work with Manchester businesses?

No. The business is based in Manchester and the service is delivered remotely across the UK. Your location does not change the published package prices.

Can I visit an office or arrange an in-person meeting?

No public office or walk-in service is advertised. The process is designed to work online through the enquiry form, email and agreed remote communication. That keeps a small website project moving without adding travel and meeting costs for the sake of it.

Will you make separate pages for every town I want to rank in?

Not by swapping town names into duplicate pages. Useful service-area content needs a genuine reason to exist and enough unique information to help a visitor. One honest UK-wide service is better than fifty thin postcode pages wearing fake moustaches.

How quickly will I get a reply?

Enquiries usually receive a reply within 1–2 working days.
