Need a Website for My Small Business? (Without Paying Thousands Upfront)
If you’re running a small business and need a professional website, the upfront costs can feel overwhelming. In this post, I’ll explain what small businesses actually need from a website — and how you can get online for just £29.99/month without a big upfront payment.
Quick summary
- ✅ £29.99/month
- ✅ No upfront fees
- ✅ Hosting, security & maintenance included
- ✅ Built for Norwich small businesses
What does a small business website actually need?
Affordable web design doesn’t mean cutting corners. It means paying monthly instead of upfront, keeping things simple, and focusing on what small businesses actually need — a fast, clear website that brings enquiries.
Most affordable websites today are built using WordPress, which makes them easy to update, secure, and flexible as your business grows.
Why this matters for small businesses
Most Norwich trades and small businesses rely on local searches, Google Maps and recommendations. A clear website that loads fast, works on mobile and shows exactly what you do can be the difference between getting the call or losing it.
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
This monthly website plan works best for small business owners who want a professional website without the stress, cost, or technical headaches.
- 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 helps small businesses
Monthly pricing keeps things simple. Instead of paying £500–£1,000 upfront, you spread the cost and still get a website that’s looked after properly.
- 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’ve been putting off getting a website because of cost, monthly pricing removes that barrier. You get a professionally built WordPress website, hosting, updates, and support — all for one simple monthly price.
