The real cost of getting a small business online.
We aren't cheap because we're skimping — we're cheap because we're not paying for City Centre office space and a marketing team. Here's what it actually costs to get a business website with bookings, year one versus ongoing.

Figures are rough guides for comparison, based on public pricing at time of writing, excluding Stripe / card processing fees and VAT. Web designer costs vary by region and scope; we've used typical UK freelance rates for a small-business site.
Things we get asked a lot.
Do I own the software? +
You own your data absolutely — it's yours at any time via exports. The software itself is licensed to you for as long as you're on a hosting plan. If you stop hosting with us, we'll provide a data export and your domain is yours to point elsewhere. We don't hold your business hostage.
What if I need custom features? +
The £899 covers the core system as-is, tailored to your business. If you need something significantly new — SMS reminders, a loyalty program, integration with Xero, a custom report — we quote that work separately based on complexity. Most small tweaks during and after setup are included.
Who handles Stripe fees? +
Stripe's fees go directly to Stripe — we don't see a penny of your transactions. Typical UK card fees are 1.5% + 20p per successful charge. Money lands in your Stripe account and transfers to your bank account as you configure.
What happens if my business grows? +
The price doesn't scale with your usage. More bookings? No problem. More staff logins? No problem. If your traffic ever exceeds what standard hosting can serve, we'll move you to a heavier plan at cost — but that's unlikely unless you're taking tens of thousands of bookings per month.
Can I cancel hosting and keep the site running? +
If you cancel hosting, the live site goes offline at the end of the billing month. You'll get a full data export and a package of the code you can take to another host. Support, backups, and updates stop. Most clients stay on hosting because the £49 is cheaper than moving.
Is this UK-based? +
Yes. Built in the UK. Hosted on UK servers. Support during UK office hours. VAT invoices you can actually put through your accounts. We only sell to UK-registered businesses.
How do payments work for the setup fee? +
50% deposit on signing (£449.50 + VAT), 50% on go-live. We invoice via BACS transfer with NET 14 terms. Monthly hosting starts the day your site goes live.
A quick call tells us if this fits.
Twenty minutes. No slide deck. If it's not a fit, we'll tell you — and probably point you at something that is.
