We build it first. You decide after.

Most website companies ask you to choose from a brochure and pay before anything exists. We do it the other way round, and it changes what you are actually risking.

01The process

From the website you have to the one you want.

Four steps, and the work is all ours. Your current website stays live the whole way through, and nothing is paid until you decide.

01

You send us your website

Send us the website you have now, or just your business name, what you do and where you work if you have not got one. That is the only part that needs you.

02

We build it

We build a real replacement from the ground up, using what you already have online as the starting point. Not a mock-up, not a template with your logo dropped in. It normally takes about seven days, and your current website stays live and untouched.

03

You compare

We send you a private preview. Put it next to the website you have now and tell us anything you would like changed. Nothing is live and nothing is paid while we go back and forth.

04

We manage the move

Only if you prefer ours. We handle the domain and the switch, and keep your current site live until the new one is ready. Prefer what you have? You pay nothing.

Your current website stays live until the day you switch. Nothing changes until you say so.

02Your part

You approve it. That is the whole job.

Website builders hand you the tools and the work. We hand you a finished website. There is no editor to learn, no template to choose, no hosting to set up and no plugin to keep updated.

If you can tell us what you do and where you do it, you can have a website.

04Questions

What people ask before they send their details

If yours is not here, email us and we will answer it.

Do I pay before seeing the website?
No. We create a private website preview first. You can review it before deciding whether to proceed.
Is this a self-build website service?
No. We design, structure and prepare the website for you.
What happens to my current website while you build?
Nothing. It stays live and untouched. We build your new site privately alongside it, and it only changes over if and when you decide to switch.
How quickly will I see my preview?
Your private preview is normally ready within 7 days of receiving your details, often sooner. We confirm the timescale when you get in touch.
Is the preview publicly visible?
No. Your preview is private and will not become your live business website unless you approve it.
Can I request changes?
Yes. Tell us anything you would like changed and we will update the preview. Nothing goes live, and nothing is paid, until you are happy to approve it.
What information do you need?
We normally need your business name, services, location, telephone number, email address, opening hours and any photographs or branding you would like us to use.
