Everything a Small Business Needs to Get Online

Each service card opens a dedicated page with pricing guidance, deliverables, FAQs, and the setup process so you can understand budget and scope before getting in touch.

Practical Answers
Common Setup Questions
How much does a small business website cost in the UK?
Most focused small business websites sit in the low-thousands once design, build, SEO basics, contact routes, launch checks, and handover are included.
What does a small business need to get online?
A clear offer, domain, professional email, website, Google Business Profile, analytics, consent setup, and ownership of the key accounts.
Domain, email, and website setup checklist
The safest setup keeps the domain in your name, connects DNS carefully, authenticates email records, and documents access before launch.
Google Business Profile setup for small businesses
A complete profile needs accurate categories, services, contact details, service areas, photos, review prompts, and verified ownership.
What to prepare before asking for a website quote
Bring your services, location, preferred examples, existing domain details, rough budget, photos, and the main action you want visitors to take.

About
A Real Person, Not an Agency
We are a UK-based web design and digital setup specialist working directly with small business owners who want a clear, bespoke route to getting online without the agency price tag, the jargon, or the endless back-and-forth.
From conversion-focused website design and local SEO foundations to Microsoft 365 email, Google Business Profile setup, analytics, and domain management, we handle the full launch properly. We build sites by hand in code so your setup is genuinely bespoke, performance-focused, and quality-controlled rather than a recycled template.
