We Create Innovative Solutions for Excellence and the Future

My quoted price is a fixed fee in GBP (£) that covers every single stage required to take your project from an idea to a fully functioning website launch. There are absolutely no hidden charges.

The price presented in your proposal covers the entire build process, including:

• Strategy & Consultation: Detailed face-to-face planning, goal mapping, and defining the site structure.
• Design & Revisions: All custom visual design, prototyping, and necessary fine-tuning revisions.
• Development & Programming: All custom coding, integration, and building your dedicated Admin Panel.
• Testing & Launch: Comprehensive quality assurance, mobile testing, and the final site deployment.
• Training: A complete walkthrough of your Content Management System before launch.

What is generally NOT included: The fixed price covers the *creation* of the site. Separate, ongoing costs such as domain name renewal, website hosting, and any optional monthly maintenance or advanced SEO packages are billed separately.

This is one of the most common—and honest—questions in digital marketing. The short answer is: SEO is a marathon, not a sprint.

You will start seeing initial results quickly, but significant traffic and high rankings take time. A realistic timeline looks like this:

• First 1-3 Months (Technical Wins): You will see immediate improvements in technical health (site speed, mobile performance) and your website will start to appear for less competitive, specific keywords. We measure this progress primarily in Google Search Console impressions and indexing speed.
• Months 4-6 (Building Momentum): If you consistently create high-quality content, you will start seeing noticeable increases in organic traffic and conversions. This is where your investment starts to pay off.
• Months 6-12+ (Sustained Growth): In this period, your website gains authority, allowing you to compete for highly competitive keywords and achieve top-page rankings.

The total time depends entirely on your industry's competition and the amount of effort and content you dedicate to the process. We will discuss your market competition during our consultation to set achievable expectations.

Yes, to secure your place in my schedule and cover initial setup costs, I typically require a deposit.

My standard payment structure is designed to be simple and fair:

• 50% Deposit: Due upfront before work begins.
• 50% Final Balance: Due only once the project is complete and you are happy with the finished website.

However, I understand that every business has different cash flow needs. For larger projects or specific requirements, I am happy to discuss milestone-based payment plans (e.g., breaking the payments down into stages as we complete different parts of the build). We can discuss the best option for you during our initial meeting.

Yes, there are essential, low-cost ongoing fees required to keep any professional website secure, online, and performing optimally. Think of it like owning a car—it requires fuel and MOT to stay on the road.

The core ongoing costs include:

• Domain Name Renewal: A small annual fee to keep your website address (e.g., yourname.co.uk) registered in your name.
• Website Hosting: The cost of the secure, high-performance server space that keeps your website accessible 24/7.
• Security and Software Updates: The frequent updating of your website's underlying software (CMS, themes, plugins) to prevent security vulnerabilities and ensure compatibility.

To ensure your site is always protected and updated without hassle, I offer a range of comprehensive Maintenance Packages designed to suit all business sizes and needs. These packages cover all necessary renewals, security updates, and provide continuous support, all paid for simply and securely via GoCardless.

Your online shop will be set up to accept the most popular and secure payment methods used by UK consumers. Unlike my design fees (paid via GoCardless), your shop will use dedicated payment gateways to handle customer card details.

I will integrate your store with industry-leading platforms like Stripe or PayPal. This allows your customers to pay using methods such as:

• Major Credit and Debit Cards: Including Visa, Mastercard, and Maestro.
• Digital Wallets: Seamless, fast checkout via Apple Pay and Google Pay.
• PayPal: Customers can use their existing PayPal account for convenience and added security.

We ensure that all payment transactions are handled securely by the chosen gateway (which includes mandatory SSL encryption) to give your customers confidence when buying from you.
