Website Design & Hosting from £160
Instalment options available

Do you need a website?

The Question: You have social media feeds such as Facebook, Instagram & X(Twitter) so do you need a website too?

The Answer: Having a clear website with static information that is simple to view on mobile phones, tablets or computers adds to your business. Social media pages are often limited on key points about your business. Location, Contact Details & Regular Events/Offers are ideal for a simple web page.
You can include a live Facebook Feed and also include extras, such as a Google Calendar, Contact/Booking Form & Store. 

There are many free web design services available, if you have the time to work on them yourself, however, if you would like someone else to take the strain and set everything up for you, to include domain name(s), hosting, design and emails, then please get in touch.

Some fees are fixed and set by my third party service providers, such fees are subject to change. Discounts may be made to renewal fees if time is charged for but not used in the first year.
Design and Testing make take longer than I actually bill, to allow for interruptions and mistakes that I may have made.
