Straight answers No jargon.
No jargon.
No dodging.
The common questions about price, technology, ownership, support and whether Astro is the right fit.
The build
Yes. We build for any UK business that needs a clear, modern website. Trades are a speciality because the founder spent 30+ years in them, but the same approach works for professional services, cafés, salons, shops, gyms, health businesses and more.
Website builds start from £500. A standard build includes 5–7 pages, local SEO, six months hosting and six months of small edits. You own the finished site outright.
We can redesign or rebuild an existing site. That includes slow WordPress sites, tired page-builder sites and monthly rentals you no longer want. The redesign process includes reviewing useful content and URLs before the replacement launches.See the website redesign service →
It depends on the scope and how quickly the content and feedback are available. The process page shows the four stages. A clear timescale will be included with the quote.
Astro & editing
Astro builds the website into plain HTML before anyone visits. That keeps pages fast and removes the public database and plugin dashboard used by WordPress. React is added only for interactive parts that genuinely need it.
WordPress can work well when it is configured and maintained carefully, but a small business brochure or service site usually does not need its database and plugin stack. Astro gives us a faster, simpler foundation with a smaller attack surface.Read about moving an existing site to Astro →
Simple changes can be handled through the included edits or a support plan. If regular self-editing is essential, an editing system can be discussed before the build so the right approach is chosen.
Not for a normal business website. Forms, chat, galleries and booking links all work, with focused React components used where live interaction is useful.
Hosting, SEO & support
Hosting plus small updates starts from £10 a month. Essential Support is £49 a month, Professional Growth is £99 a month, and ad-hoc help is £60 an hour. Recurring services are month-to-month.
Yes. Local SEO is included with the website build: page structure, metadata, schema, useful location content and fast performance. Rankings are never guaranteed.
