We're a local team based in Stanway, Colchester. We build professional, mobile-friendly websites for small Essex businesses — fixed price, no agency fees, no surprises.
3 months hosting included · then £28/month · domain not included
Whether you're a tradesperson in Stanway, a professional services firm on the High Street, or a retailer in the town centre — if you're not online, you're invisible to a large part of your potential market.
A professional website is no longer optional. It's the first thing a prospective customer checks before picking up the phone. It's what sets you apart from the competitor who shows up above you in Google.
We've worked with businesses across Colchester for years. We know the market, and we know what local clients expect when they land on your site. That local knowledge goes into every website we build.

Most web agencies in Colchester charge £2,000–£10,000 for a small business website. Templates on Wix or Squarespace take hours to learn and end up looking generic.
We offer something different: a professional result at a fair price, built by the same local team that keeps Colchester businesses' IT running. If you're already a client, we know your setup, your domain, your email — the handover is seamless. If you're new to us, this is a great way to start.
No quotes that vary based on how big your office looks. Everyone pays the same price.
Domain name not included · Introductory pricing
Our fixed-price website design service costs £499 as a one-off payment. This covers everything you need: up to 5 pages, mobile-responsive design, contact form, SSL certificate, basic SEO setup, Google Analytics and 3 months of hosting. After 3 months, hosting continues at £28/month. The domain name (typically £10–15/year) is purchased separately and belongs to you.
Typically 10 working days from when we receive your content — text, logo and any images. We share a preview link for you to review, make up to two rounds of changes, then go live. The whole process from first call to live site usually takes 3–4 weeks.
Yes. Every website we build includes proper on-page SEO — page titles, meta descriptions, heading structure and image alt tags all set up correctly. For local search visibility we also advise on setting up a Google Business Profile, which is one of the most effective free tools for appearing in local searches in Colchester.
Yes — we're based in Stanway, Colchester. We work with businesses across the town and across Essex. If you'd prefer to meet in person to talk through your website, we're happy to arrange that.
Not at all — the website service is completely standalone. That said, many Colchester businesses find it useful to have one local team handling both IT and web, since we already know their setup and can handle domain, email and hosting configuration without needing to start from scratch.
We've worked with professional services firms, financial advisers, tradespeople, retailers and charities across Colchester. If you're a small business that needs a clean, professional online presence without paying agency prices, this service is built for you.
