Websites for small British businesses
A proper website. £299.
You pick a look. Pay now, or see your name on it first. We build it. Live in 7–14 days once we have your photos and words.
Pay now, or see it first.
We’ll put it on a template first, or build it from scratch. Same price if you go ahead.
What £299 actually buys
Everything a small business site needs. Nothing it doesn’t.
No page builder to learn, no plugins to update, no evening spent wrestling with a template. We do the lot and hand you something finished.
Built for phones first
Most of your customers will find you on a phone at the side of the road. That is the screen we design for.
Your number, everywhere
Tap-to-call on every screen. No hunting through a contact page to find you.
Google can read it
Proper page titles, headings and descriptions, so you turn up when someone searches your trade and your town.
A form that works
Enquiries land in your inbox, tested before launch. Not a form that quietly goes nowhere.
The padlock, and backups
SSL, security updates and off-site backups, all included in the monthly.
Pay now, we start
Launch and Standard are ordered on Stripe. The first month of hosting is free from that payment. Bespoke work is the exception — you see that one before you pay.
And so we are straight with each other
You supply three things
- Your logo, if you have one
- Your photos
- The words — what you do, where you work, who you are
That is what keeps this at £299 rather than £1,500. If you would rather not write the words, we will do it for you from £150 — agreed before we start, never sprung on you halfway through.
How easy it is for you
Three things to do. We handle the rest.
Pick a look
Harbour, Folio or High Street. Click through the demo sites and find the one that feels like your business.
Pay now, or see it first
Pay to start
Launch is £299, Standard is £599. You pick Harbour, Folio or High Street, then pay on Stripe. We build it.
Or see it first
We put your logo and words on a template and send you the preview. You pay the same price when it looks right.
We build it. You own it.
Logo, photos, and what you do. Richard chases you if something is missing. A preview is not your live site — that goes up after you pay. Live in 7–14 days once we have your bits.

What people say
Plain words from people who paid.
“I'd been putting it off about four years if I'm honest. Richard never made me feel daft for not having one. I sent him some photos off my phone and he did the rest of it. I've had eleven enquiries since April and three turned into proper jobs. Paid for itself in the first fortnight.”
“What I liked was he told me straight what I actually needed instead of selling me a load of stuff I didn't. All I wanted was somewhere to send people when they ask if I've got a website. Now they ring me having already read what I do, so the calls are shorter and they're better calls.”
“We're a small shop, we've not got a marketing budget. I sent over some pictures of the counter and a page of notes I'd scribbled down and that was my lot. What came back looked like us. People come in now saying they found us online, which never used to happen.”
Before you ask
The questions everyone asks.
Is £299 really the whole price?
For a Launch site, yes — that is the build, paid when you order. Then £39 a month keeps it online, backed up, updated and looked after. The first month of hosting is free from that payment. The only way the price moves is if you ask for something on the extras list, and we agree that before we start. Proof Studio is not VAT registered, so the price on the page is the price you pay.
Can I see it with my name on before I pay?
Yes. Send your logo and a few lines. We put them on Harbour, Folio or High Street and send you the preview. Same price when you go ahead — Launch is still £299, Standard is still £599. The preview is a private look, not your live site, and it is not handed over until you pay. We keep it up for about a week. Bespoke work is always seen before you pay; Richard prices that after a brief.
Do I pay before the live site goes up?
Yes. You can pay now on Stripe, or see a branded preview first and pay the same price when it looks right. Either way the live site — on a real domain, as yours — does not go up before payment. The first month of hosting is free from that payment.
Why not just use Wix or Squarespace?
You can, and for about £15 a month you will get a decent site — as long as you build it, write it, and keep it going yourself. Most people start and stop. We do the whole thing and hand you something finished.
What do I have to provide?
Your logo if you have one, your photos, and the words. If you would rather not write it, we will do it for you from £150. We would rather tell you that now than surprise you halfway through.
Do I own the site?
Yes. The domain is yours and stays in your name. If you ever want to leave, we hand over the files and help you move. You can cancel the £39 a month whenever you like — there is no contract.
How long does it take?
Seven to fourteen days from the point we have your photos and words. The waiting is almost always on that, not on us.
What if I need something that is not on the list?
Then it is bespoke, and it costs more than £299. Talk to Richard — he will work out exactly what you need and price it properly rather than guessing. That is the only work you see before you pay.
Ready when you are
Let’s get you online properly.
Start a Launch or Standard site, see your name on a template first, or chat with Richard. Same £299 or £599 either way you go on the templates. Bespoke is priced after a brief, and you see that before you pay. A preview is not the live site.
