Priced for a small business. 01 ### Fixed in pounds One figure, agreed in writing, not a 'from £X+' that balloons on the invoice. It covers the site, the copy, the SEO and the hosting, with a defined deliverable list and no scope-creep charges once the build starts. You know the number before you sign anything. 02 ### The person you brief does the work B02 David designs, writes, and ships every site himself, brief to launch. No account managers, no juniors, no subcontractors. For a small business that's the difference between being a line item and being the client. 03 ### Live in ten working days B03 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. 04 ### Found, and yours to keep B04 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. *Illustration: Wireframe turning into a finished website design* *Illustration: wireframe to finished design, the order every build follows.* - Live in ten working days - Fixed price, in writing, before anything starts - One person accountable - Replies within one working day - Your account, your card, your site - Leeds, working UK-wide ## One client's ledger. Procon 24/7, a concrete supplier across Yorkshire and the North West, has had its Google Ads run by David since 2022. These numbers come from the client's own revenue reports rather than the ad platform. One client's result, not a forecast. £1,337,693 tracked revenue from the campaigns, 2022 to date 8.9× return on ad spend. Every £1 in came back as £8.89 in tracked sales. 2,055 new customers. 13,787 tracked calls. 9,550 cubic metres of concrete sold.

The monthly is the same either way: what changes is whether you pay the launch fee to keep the door open, or commit and let us waive it. We recommend Committed, because it costs nothing to begin. We give you the figure on the audit call, once we have seen the job. Not ready to choose? [book the free audit and decide after](https://lucentdigital.co.uk/contact) ### What you get for it. 01 ### You get found by people already looking to buy Your Google Business Profile run properly rather than just filled in, and local SEO across the towns you actually cover: the searches with a job attached, not vanity terms. 02 ### You can count the enquiries, not guess at them Every enquiry your site produces lands in your inbox and in your dashboard, next to the search that produced it. If it is not working you will see it before we tell you. 03 ### You stop thinking about the website Hosting, security, backups, updates and content changes are in the price. Nothing to renew, nothing to chase, no annual invoice you forgot was coming. 04 ### You own it, outright Design, copy and code. Yours the day the launch fee clears on Flexible, or at month 12 on Committed. Not rented, not held on our hosting. Before we start we write down what you get in a normal month, and every monthly report measures against it. Every client gets a private members' portal: your site's live performance (traffic, rankings, enquiries) in one place, plus first access to services we don't sell publicly. **In writing:** Live within ten working days of brief lock, or the second half of the invoice waits until it is. Fixed price agreed in writing before anything starts. ## Questions clients ask before they sign. What gets asked on every audit call: answered before you book one. **Not answered here?** Ask David directly. He replies himself, usually within one working day. [Still curious? Book the free audit](https://lucentdigital.co.uk/contact) [Read every question we get asked](https://lucentdigital.co.uk/faq) **01 How much does a small business website cost?** It is fixed in pounds before anything starts, not left as a vague 'from £X+'. The monthly covers the site designed and built, the copy written, local SEO, your Google Business Profile, and hosting, security, backups and content changes. Start on the launch fee and leave any month, or commit for 12 months and we waive the fee. The figure we give you is the figure on the invoice you pay: a defined deliverable list, a defined timeline, no scope-creep invoices once the build starts. **02 Is your website design affordable for a small business on a tight budget?** It is roughly what a small business spends on its phone contracts, and there is no four-figure cheque to find first if you commit. Most agencies spend 30–40% of their time on pitches that don't close and price that overhead into your invoice. We run one principal and a ten-day cadence, so what you pay 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. **03 Who actually builds my website: a junior, a freelancer, or the senior team?** David, every time. No account managers, no juniors translating between you and a senior, no subcontractors. The person you brief is the person who designs, writes, and ships the site, start to finish. For a small business that's the difference between being a line item and being the client. **04 How long until my small business website is live?** Ten working days from kickoff, and 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. **05 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. **06 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. **07 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, and it is priced for a single-location business rather than for a marketing department. Our case studies are full of exactly this scale: a greengrocer, scaffolders, roofers, concrete suppliers, a one-man roofing firm. You won't be the smallest client we've taken, and you won't be treated like it. **08 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. **09 Do you offer website design services for small businesses across the UK?** Yes. We're a Leeds studio and we provide small business website design services to service businesses right across the UK, run remotely on a daily Loom-video cadence with in-person kickoff available for Yorkshire clients. The offer is the same wherever you are: a fixed-price site, live in ten working days, built by the person who takes your brief. Small business website design in the UK is the studio's entire focus, not a sideline. **10 What's included in your small business website design packages?** One monthly figure, no 'from £X+' games. It covers the site designed and built and live in ten working days, conversion copy written with you, brand foundation, local SEO, a Google Business Profile run properly rather than just set up, and hosting, security, backups and content changes. The site becomes yours outright: on the day the launch fee clears, or at month 12 if we waived it. **11 What's the average cost of website design for a small business in the UK?** Across the UK market, a professional small business site typically runs £1,000 to £4,000 as a one-off, and £19 to £29 a month as a rental you never own. Ours is neither of those: the work is ongoing and the site is yours outright at the end of it. We break the whole market down, route by route, in our guide to how much a website costs in the UK. ## Work it out before you brief us. - [Do I need a website for my small business?
