What do custom websites for small businesses include?

A custom website doesn’t mean complicated or expensive. It means your website is built around what your business needs — your services, your customers, and how people should contact you.

Most affordable websites today are built using WordPress, which makes them easy to update, secure, and flexible as your business grows.

Why custom websites work better for small businesses

Small businesses don’t need bloated websites. They need clarity. A custom-built site focuses on the pages, layout and calls-to-action that actually bring enquiries — instead of forcing your business into a generic template.

Many small businesses rely on tools like Google Business Profile and local search to be found online, which is why having a clear, fast website is so important.

Who this works best for

Custom websites work best for small businesses that want a site tailored to their services, customers and local area — without paying agency-level prices.

  • Trades and local services (plumbers, electricians, builders, decorators)
  • Beauty, health and wellbeing (salons, barbers, therapists, PTs)
  • Local shops and independents (cafés, takeaways, retail)
  • Start-ups and side hustles that need to look professional quickly
  • Any small business that wants someone to handle hosting, updates and support

Why monthly pricing makes custom websites affordable

Monthly pricing removes the big upfront cost normally associated with custom websites. Instead of paying £1,000+ for a bespoke build, you get a tailored site that’s built, hosted and maintained for a simple monthly fee.

  • Easier cash flow — predictable monthly cost
  • No big upfront risk — you’re not paying a lump sum before you see results
  • It stays maintained — updates, backups and security aren’t “extra jobs”
  • Support is included — you can message me when you need changes
  • It grows with you — small tweaks over time keep your site current

Getting a website without upfront costs

If you want a custom website but don’t want to pay a large upfront fee, monthly pricing removes that barrier completely. You get a professionally built WordPress website, hosting, updates, and support — all for one simple monthly price.
