Ownership
You own it. All of it.
The domain is registered to you. The site, the words and the photos are yours. If you stop a care plan or SEO, the site stays up and stays yours. We'd rather you stay because it works than because you can't leave.

Questions
Questions people ask
How much does a website cost for a tradesman?
With us, Essentials starts at £595 and Business at £995 — the exact fixed price is confirmed in writing before you pay a deposit, and it depends on how many services and areas you need pages for and whether photos and reviews already exist. For what the wider UK market charges, read the cost guide.
Do I own the website?
Yes. The domain is registered in your name, the site and its content are yours, and if you ever leave you take them with you. No hostage hosting.
Are there monthly fees?
Only if you choose them: website care is £25 a month and SEO plans run from £100 to £350 a month. Both are optional, reviewed quarterly, and you can stop them. The website itself is a one-off price.
How long does it take?
We agree a fixed timescale before you pay a deposit, based on the package and how quickly you can get us photos and details. You'll see the site before it goes live.
