LUCENT.

Small business website design. Built to win work.

A five-page site that gets your small business found and turns the visit into an enquiry — live in ten working days, fixed in pounds, built by the two principals who do the work. No 'from £X+', no juniors, no lock-in. Andrews of Holmfirth, a 50-year greengrocer, was taking live orders inside week one.

A site that wins work. Priced for a small business.

    Fixed in pounds

    One published price, not a 'from £X+' that balloons on the invoice. Get Found is £1,297 for a five-page small business site, with a defined deliverable list and no scope-creep charges once the build starts. You know the number before you sign.

  2. B02 · The principals do the work

    The principals do the work

    David and Olivia design, write, and ship every site themselves. No account managers, no juniors, no subcontractors. For a small business that's the difference between being a line item and being the client.

  3. B03 · Live in ten working days

    Live in ten working days

    Not the three months an agency usually quotes. Ten working days from kickoff to launch, so your small business has a site working for it in a fortnight — Andrews of Holmfirth was taking live orders inside that window.

    Found, and yours to keep

    On-page SEO and a Google Business Profile so local buyers find you, and a site you can edit yourself in Bricks with no platform rent and no lock-in. You own the WordPress, the brand files, and the hosting outright.

Pricing

What does it cost?

Get Found (£1,297) is the small business package — a five-page site, brand foundation, on-page SEO, and 30 days of support. Get Ahead (£2,497) adds more pages, full brand identity, and a conversion landing page. Every project opens with a free audit — no contract until we both agree it's the right fit.

50% on signature, 50% on launch. Prices ex-VAT.

  • How much does a small business website cost?

    It's fixed in pounds, not quoted as a vague 'from £X+'. Get Found is £1,297 for a five-page small business website with brand foundation, on-page SEO, and 30-day support. Get Ahead is £2,497 for a ten-page site with full brand identity and a conversion landing page. The price you see is the price you pay — a defined deliverable list, a defined timeline, no scope-creep invoices once the build starts.

  • Is your website design affordable for a small business on a tight budget?

    That's exactly who the £1,297 Get Found package is built for. Most agencies spend 30–40% of their time on pitches that don't close and price that overhead into your invoice. We run two people, a ten-day cadence, and fixed packages, so the price reflects the work and nothing else. If the audit call shows your budget is better spent elsewhere first, we'll tell you that rather than sell you a site.

  • Who actually builds my website — a junior, a freelancer, or the senior team?

    David and Olivia, the two principals, every time. No account managers, no juniors translating between you and a senior, no subcontractors. The two people you brief are the two people who design, write, and ship the site. For a small business that's the difference between being a line item and being the client.

  • How long until my small business website is live?

    Ten working days from kickoff, for both Get Found and Get Ahead. Kickoff happens within seven days of signature. Andrews of Holmfirth, a 50-year family greengrocer, went from brief to taking live orders inside that window — a small business online and working in a fortnight, not the three months an agency usually quotes.

  • Will my small business website actually show up in Google?

    On-page SEO, schema, and a Google Business Profile setup ship in every build, which is enough to rank for local-intent searches in most service categories within 30–90 days. That's how a small business gets found by buyers nearby who are searching right now. National competitive head terms need sustained content — the Stay Ahead retainer — and we'll tell you honestly on the audit call which bucket your targets fall into.

  • Can I edit the website myself after launch, or am I locked in?

    You own everything and you can edit it yourself. We build on WordPress with Bricks Builder, the easiest visual editor in WordPress, and hand over a Loom walkthrough plus a printed cheat-sheet. No platform rent, no SaaS that can change its pricing under you, no agency holding your site hostage. All WordPress access, brand files, and hosting credentials transfer to you on launch.

  • I'm a very small or one-person business — am I too small for you?

    No. Small UK service businesses are the studio's whole reason for existing. The Get Found package is sized for a single-location business with under five product lines, and our case studies are full of exactly this scale — a greengrocer, scaffolders, roofers, concrete suppliers. You won't be the smallest client we've taken, and you won't be treated like it.

  • Will the website bring in enquiries, or is it just a nice-looking brochure?

    The whole point is the enquiry, not the applause. Every page is built against the decisions your buyer actually makes, with the copy and layout designed to turn a visit into a phone call or a form. We measure it in Search Console and GA4 — impressions, clicks, conversions — because the scoreboard for a small business is work won, not a ranking for a keyword nobody buys on.

    Within two weeks of launching the new site, we saw a 37% increase in quote requests. The design isn't just modern, it's built to convert.

    I finally feel confident sending clients to my website.

    We'd tried to sort the website ourselves a few times and never got anywhere. Lucent came in, understood the business immediately, and delivered something we're genuinely proud of.
