A professionally built website should not require a large upfront investment that puts it out of reach for growing businesses.

A high-quality website, looked after by the right team, for as long as you need it.

What this is

Everything a small business needs online without the big agency price tag.

Most SMEs know they need a better website. The problem isn't the ambition, it is the upfront cost. A professionally built website from a quality agency usually requires a significant project fee before a single page goes live, and for smaller businesses, that investment is not always possible straight away. Our Affordable Website Scheme was built for exactly that situation, giving you a high-quality brochure website, designed, built, hosted and maintained by the same team that builds sites for our full-fee marketing clients, for a small deposit and a monthly fee that covers everything.

It is a good fit if your DIY site no longer reflects the quality of your business, if you have no website yet, or if your current site feels outdated but a full agency rebuild is not in budget right now. Whatever your starting point, the scheme gives you a professional website you can be proud of, managed properly and built around what your business needs to grow online.

What sets this apart from building it yourself

Built by professionals, not a template tool

Your site is designed and built by the same team that works on our full agency projects, not assembled from a drag-and-drop platform with generic layouts.

Hosting and maintenance handled for you

No managing hosting accounts, no chasing plugin updates, no worrying about security. It is all included and managed proactively on your behalf.

A refresh built into the programme

After three years on the scheme, you receive a full website refresh on an updated framework, with a more modern design and any content or image updates you want to bring.

What's included

Everything that comes with the scheme.

The Affordable Website Scheme covers everything your website needs to perform well and stay that way, from the initial build through to the ongoing maintenance that most businesses forget about until something goes wrong.

Your website is designed and built by professionals, not assembled from a generic template. We work with you on the layout, structure and presentation of your supplied content, creating a brochure-style website that represents your business clearly and is built to support enquiries.

Your website is hosted on our managed infrastructure, fast, reliable and monitored. You do not need a separate hosting account, you do not need to manage renewals, and you do not need to worry about whether your site is up. Hosting is part of the monthly fee, handled entirely by us.

Platform, framework and dependency updates are handled where your website setup requires them. Security monitoring and hardening help protect your site from the vulnerabilities that affect poorly maintained websites. Regular backups and a clear restore process are also in place, so routine technical work is managed proactively.

Need to update a phone number, swap an image or adjust a line of copy? Small, routine updates are included, so the everyday upkeep every live website needs is covered as part of the programme.

To better manage the deposit fee, the scheme is based on clients supplying their own logo, branding, images and website content. If you need extra help, our experts can support with brand design, copywriting, advanced SEO, keyword research or wider marketing activity as additional services. That way, you only pay for the extra support you actually need.

How the scheme works

Simple from start to finish.

Step 01

We have a conversation

Tell us about your business, what you need from a website and where you are starting from. We will assess whether the scheme is the right fit and talk through what your site will include.

Step 02

You pay the deposit and we get started

A one-off deposit covers the design and build of your site. From there, our team designs and builds your website, works with you on content and signs off the finished result with you before anything goes live.

Step 03

Your site goes live, fully hosted and maintained

Your website launches on our managed hosting infrastructure. From that point, your monthly fee covers hosting, maintenance, security updates and general upkeep.

Step 04

After three years, you get a full refresh

Once you have been on the scheme for three years, your website receives a full website refresh on an updated framework, with a more modern design and any content or image updates you want to bring.

Step 05

Stay as long as it works for you

There is no unnecessary long-term lock-in. Stay on the scheme for as long as it makes sense for your business, with a clear route to owning your website once the agreed cost has been covered.

Who this is built for

Three kinds of businesses this works perfectly for.

You have no website yet

You have been putting off getting online because the cost of a professional website feels out of reach. The scheme removes that barrier with a professional web presence built by experts.

Your current site is outdated

Your website was built years ago and it shows. A full rebuild feels too expensive right now, so the scheme gives you a modern replacement without the full project cost upfront.

Questions about the scheme

Answer the questions buyers ask before they enquire.

The questions we hear most often about the Affordable Website Scheme, answered honestly.

Yes, the scheme is designed to give you a clear route to owning your website. Once the agreed website cost has been covered, the site is yours to keep. If you ever decide to move on before then, we will explain any remaining balance clearly before anything changes.

The scheme is designed for brochure-style websites, the kind most SMEs need to represent their business online. It is not suited to complex functionality, e-commerce, membership platforms or bespoke web applications. If you are unsure whether your requirements fit, just ask us and we will be straight with you.

Routine updates such as swapping an image, correcting copy or updating contact details are included. Larger work, like adding new pages, significant design changes or new functionality, is quoted and charged separately. We will always tell you clearly before any chargeable work begins.

After your refresh, the scheme continues on the same basis, with hosting, maintenance and support included in your monthly fee. Your site will be running on a modern framework with an updated design, and the same ongoing management continues for as long as you stay with the programme.

Yes. If your business grows to the point where you need a more complex website, additional functionality, e-commerce or a bespoke build, we can discuss a full project engagement. Being on the scheme means you already have a relationship with us and an existing site to work from.

Book a free discovery call or send us a message. We will talk through your business, your current web presence and what you need, then tell you honestly whether the scheme is the right fit. If it is, we will explain exactly what happens next.
