A designer and a developer in the same conversation
Nothing gets handed over between departments, so nothing gets lost in the handover.
Affordable web design for small businesses in Cardiff
A website that works while you run the business.
£74 a month gets you a professional website, live in two weeks. No big deposit, no contract, nothing hidden in the small print.
Cardiff's full of small business owners who've been burned by a website before. A cafe that paid a deposit and waited three months. A consultant who ended up with two pages and a login nobody explained. A tradesperson who's still chasing a freelancer for a phone number update. We built this the opposite way. Think of it as leasing a website rather than buying one outright. No large upfront fee, nothing locked in for years, one monthly payment that covers hosting, security and support. If it stops working for you, you cancel.
- Live inside two weeks
- No contract, cancel any time
- Based in Cardiff, working across South Wales
Trusted by businesses across Cardiff and South Wales
- Chasing a web designer who's stopped replying to texts
- A hosting bill you didn't know you had, from a company you've never heard of
- Three months in, and the site still has two pages live
- A login, a manual nobody reads, and good luck
- A quote that crept up once the work had already started
- A site you built with someone else, but can't take anywhere
- A contract that locks you in longer than you meant to sign up for
The usual story
The Cardiff website that never quite gets finished.
Most business owners we talk to have paid for a website before. They're not sceptical because they don't understand websites. They're sceptical because they've bought one, and it went the way most of these go: slow, vague, and pricier than the number on the quote.
We looked at what web design in Cardiff usually involves before building this. The pattern repeats. A freelancer who's brilliant until month two. An agency doing good work, priced for a business twice your size. A DIY builder that's cheap but eats every Sunday afternoon for a year.
How it works
Pay monthly website design, made simple.
Most website projects in Cardiff drag on for the same reason. Too many decisions land on you at once: which template, which host, which of the eleven quotes you collected. We cut that down to one decision. Tell us about the business, we build the site.
The same name and the same number
From your first call through to launch day.
£74 a month on Starter
No big deposit and nothing billed separately later. Design, build, hosting, security and support all sit inside that figure.
Live in two weeks, with room to grow
Launch on Starter, then move up into Professional or Business as the work does.
None, beyond this month
No fixed-term contract on any plan. Cancel whenever it stops being useful, no exit fee, no awkward phone call needed. We built it this way because we're confident you'll want to stay, not because we've made it hard to leave.
The plans
Three ways to get a Cardiff website that pulls its weight.
A sole trader and a business running five locations don't need the same website, so we built three plans instead of one. Pick the one that matches where you are now. Moving up a tier later takes a phone call, not a rebuild.

Not sure which plan fits? Starter suits a one-person operation. Professional suits a business with a small team and a marketing goal. Business suits anyone running more than one site or location.
What's included
Every plan is built to the same standard.
Built for a phone first
Most customers find you on a phone, often standing on a driveway or in a car park. That's the screen we design for first, not the one we get to eventually.
Set up to be found
Page titles, descriptions, headings and a sitemap done properly, so Google can work out what the business does and who it's for.
Words that sound like you
We write the pages from a conversation with you. Then you read it back and tell us what's wrong. Usually something is.
Quick even on a bad signal
Compressed images, light code, no tracking clutter slowing things down. The page loads before someone gives up and calls the next number on the list.
Support that keeps it running
Hosting, SSL and uptime looked after every month. Want the words or photos changed? Starter has thirty minutes built in, Professional has two hours, Business has a dedicated manager.
You're never locked in
No exit fees on any plan. Cancel when it stops working for you.
One clear price
Three plans. No contracts, no big bill up front.
Plans start at under £3 a day, less than most people spend on a coffee on the way to a job. This works more like leasing a website than buying one. There's no large fee before we start, just one monthly figure covering hosting, SSL and support, and no fixed-term contract on any plan. Cancel whenever it stops being useful to you. We're confident enough in what we build that we don't need a contract to keep you around.

Small Cardiff businesses deserve great design too.
Good design has been priced like a luxury for a long time. That's part of why a one-person operation ends up with a Facebook page instead of a website. The plans here start where a small business actually is.

FAQs
The questions Cardiff business owners ask before they start.
What plans do you offer?
Three. Starter at £74 a month for a business that needs a proper site live fast. Professional at £249 a month for a business that wants to compete in search results, not just tick a box by having a site. Business at £649 a month and up, for anyone running more than one site, storefront or listing.
What does each plan cost, and is that the whole price?
Starter is £74 a month, Professional is £249 a month, Business starts at £649 a month. Design, build, hosting, SSL and support all sit inside that figure. There's no separate hosting bill landing in your inbox six months later.
Can I get the text or photos changed after the site is live?
Yes, on every plan. Starter includes thirty minutes of updates a month, Professional includes two hours, and Business comes with a dedicated account manager for anything that needs doing.
How long until the site is live?
Around fourteen days from kick-off on Starter. Professional and Business can take a little longer, depending on how many pages and how much content needs writing.
How many pages do I get?
Up to five on Starter, up to ten on Professional. Business is scoped around however many sites, stores or listings you're running.
Is there a contract?
No. Everything is billed monthly and you can cancel whenever you like. We think that keeps us honest. If the site and the support aren't worth the money, you shouldn't have to pay to leave.
What happens if I want to leave?
This works as a lease rather than a straight sale, so the site isn't handed over outright while you're on the plan. But nothing holds you here either. Cancel any time, and you take your website files with you. If you're moving your contacts and CRM data to another provider, we'll help get that transferred across.
Do you only work with Cardiff businesses?
We're based in Cardiff, and most clients are here or in the Vale of Glamorgan, Newport, Caerphilly and Pontypridd. The plans work anywhere in Wales or the wider UK. Most calls happen over the phone or a video call anyway.
What sort of businesses do you usually build for?
A mix of owner-run businesses: cafes and small retail, coaches and consultants, plus trades like plumbers, electricians and cleaners. If you answer your own phone and searched "web designer near me" hoping for something other than a big agency quote, this is probably built for you.
Do you help with Google rankings, or just the website itself?
On Professional and Business, both. We manage the Google Business Profile, handle on-page SEO, and on Professional we write one to two SEO blog posts a month. Starter includes basic SEO setup, so the foundations are right from day one.
