Most small businesses get stuck between two bad options: a cheap template site that looks like everyone else's and never ranks, or a £5,000 agency build with a bill you can't justify. I offer a third way — a genuinely custom, hand-coded website with nothing to pay upfront and one flat £45/month that covers hosting, security, updates and edits. One developer, honest pricing, direct communication — not a faceless agency.

Why small businesses choose a managed site

When you run a small business, your website shouldn't be another job on your list — or a risk waiting to break. A managed site means someone accountable is hosting it, keeping it secure, backing it up and making changes when you need them, so it stays fast and safe while you get on with the work. And because every site is custom-coded rather than bolted together in a page builder, it loads quickly and gives Google a reason to rank you.

The £0-upfront model means cash flow stays where it belongs — in your business, not tied up in a big web bill. You get a professional, Google-ready website for the price of a phone contract, and if you ever outgrow it, Managed Growth adds monthly SEO to turn that site into a steady source of enquiries.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a small business website cost?

You have two routes: a fully managed custom site with £0 upfront and £45/month (my Zero Upfront plan), or a bespoke build quoted fixed or hourly. There's no big lump sum required to get online — you'll always know the price before any work starts.

Do I have to pay a large amount upfront?

No. My Zero Upfront plan is £0 setup and £45/month — I build the site, host it and maintain it, so a small business can get a professional custom website without a big capital outlay.

Is it a template site or built from scratch?

Every site is hand-coded from the ground up — no page builders, no themes shared with a thousand other businesses. That means it loads faster, ranks better and is easier to maintain than a template site.

Will you look after the website for me?

Yes — that's the point of a managed plan. Hosting, SSL, backups, security updates and content changes are all handled for you, so you can run your business instead of wrestling with your website.

Do I own my website?

Yes, in the way that matters: your domain and your content are always yours, and if you leave after the minimum term you take the complete working website with you to host anywhere. I keep the source files and tooling — full details are in the plan terms.

What clients say

“Jamie rebuilt our Sitech Loos London website and it's already bringing in hire enquiries. He overhauled our Google Business Profile and handles all the SEO too — it just works. Highly recommended.”
Harrison Mosley Sitech Loos London
“He was professional, easy to work with and always responded promptly throughout the project. The finished website gave us a strong online presence and has served us well. We saw an increase in traffic to the website, and our online sales grew as a result.”
Paul Grout Skyflite Luggage Ltd, Essex
“Jamie took our old very outdated non mobile friendly website and fully refreshed it to make use of modern technology and to bring it up to date with our multi faceted activities. We had a close liaison throughout the process and many tweaks to the finish but since then we have enjoyed continual support and equally importantly complimentary traffic to the site.”
John Strong Logistics & supply chain
“We're a luxury watch retailer based in Epping and have worked with Jamie for years — he's become the person we trust with everything technical. Our old setup used to struggle whenever we had a busy sale on, and he sorted the hosting so that's no longer a worry. The biggest difference has been the automation: our customer records, stock and invoicing all connect now, so we're not entering the same details in three places or chasing paperwork. He also built us a tool that helps our buying team value pieces much faster. He understands how our business actually runs, not just the tech side. Couldn't recommend him more.”
Charlie Ttakoushis Luxury watch retailer, Epping
“Our emails at Nafas Wellness Studio in Woodford were going straight to spam. Jamie tracked down the DNS problem and fixed it properly, plus a few other tweaks along the way. It was quick, clear and easy. Highly recommend using his services.”
Katherine Yousefi Nafas Wellness Studio, Woodford
