Real, live UK sites.
Tap to visit.

Every site below is currently live, serving real UK customers. None of these are mockups or stock photos. Click through, poke around.

§ § §

Not a locksmith or roofer? Doesn't matter. I build for any UK small business — beauticians, gardeners, cleaners, mechanics, plumbers, photographers, accountants, consultants. If you've got a business, I can build the site.

— A note from Tom —

Glad you found me.
Proper sites. Zero upfront.

I build sites for free because most small businesses get quoted £2,000–£5,000 for templates that look like they were made in 2014. That's not the maths I'm playing. Here's how it works: I build your site first. If you love it — and most people do — you just cover the running costs. No setup fees. No deposits. No risk.

No. 02 / The Catch

Yes, there's a catch.
You cover the running costs.

Most "free" web design outfits hide the running costs until you've signed up. I don't. Every penny of the £49/month is on this page.

Not included
×Big rebuilds. Whole new site is a separate project — quoted on the spot.
×Ecommerce. Possible to add later, billed separately.
×Google Ads management. Optional add-on at £100/mo.
×A guaranteed Google rank. Nobody can promise that honestly. I do the SEO foundations properly — rankings come from doing the work right, over time.
Billing + cancellation

Pure month-to-month. Cancel any time. No contract, no tie-in, no exit fee. Your £49 starts the day your site goes live — not before. One email or WhatsApp and I'll cancel at the end of the current month. Domain transferred to your own host free of charge, always.

I'd rather earn the £49 every month by being worth it than trap you with a contract. If the site stops paying for itself, you should be able to walk.

No. 03 / The Comparison

Three ways to get a website.
Only one of them adds up.

Most "free + £19/mo" services are set-and-forget templates with offshore support and AI-generated copy. Most agencies want £1,500+ to build, then £150–£300/month. There's a sensible middle.

Option 01

£19/mo "set & forget"

Cheap. You get what you pay for.

  • Off-the-shelf templates, not custom
  • Offshore developers — slow + impersonal
  • AI-generated copy — generic, soulless
  • Hosting only — no real local SEO
  • Support ticket queue (good luck)
  • No monthly performance reports
  • Set-and-forget — once it's up, you're alone

— THE HONEST TRUTH —

£19/mo services are cheaper. Agencies do more. £49/mo with me sits in the only spot where the maths actually works for a small business — proper custom site, real human work, hands-on monthly attention, no upfront cost, no agency markup.

No. 04 / The Process

From apply to live,
in four steps.

About a week, start to finish. Zero risk to you until step 04.

2 mins
01.

Apply

5 short questions about your business. Just enough for me to start building. No long forms. No sales call yet.

48 hrs
02.

I build your demo

Within 48 hours I build a full working website demo for your business. Not a template. Not a mockup. A real site you can click around.

15 mins
03.

15-min call

We jump on a quick video call. I walk you through it. You tell me what to keep and what to change — or you walk away. No hard feelings, no obligation.

5–7 days
04.

Live within a week

If you say yes, I sort the domain and finishing touches. You're live within 5–7 days. £49 billing starts the day the site goes live.

I build the demo before you commit to anything. No deposits. No "trust me, bro." You see exactly what you're getting before any money changes hands.

— that's the deal.
No. 05 / The Founder

I'm one guy.
Not an agency.

I've been building websites for years and got tired of watching small businesses get quoted £2,000–£5,000 for sites that look like they were made in 2014. The agencies charging that aren't doing anything magical — they're using the same tools I am, with more overheads.

So I built a different model: free build, £49/month for everything else. No setup fees. No surprise invoices. Real customer, real human, real phone number — and crucially, everything done in-house. No offshore developer in a different time zone. No AI churning out generic copy that reads like every other plumber's website. Just me, building it properly.

When you ring, you're talking to me — Tom. I built the site. I'll fix the site. I write the copy. I do the local SEO. I send the monthly performance report. I answer the WhatsApp at 9pm because there's nobody else to delegate to. There's no account manager, no "we'll get back to you in 5 working days."

Just me.

Tom.

Question 01

What stage are you at right now?

Question 02

Where are your customers?

Question 03

What's your monthly marketing budget right now?

Honestly. I'm not pricing the build off this — it just helps me figure out which channels will actually move the needle for you.

Question 04

Tell me about your business.

Business name + a sentence on what you do. Plain English is fine — pretend you're telling a mate.

Question 05 — optional

Any sites you like the look of?

1–2 URLs is plenty. Any business, any industry — just helps me know what feel you're after. Skip if nothing comes to mind.

No. 07 / The Honest Answers

The questions everyone asks.

No small print. No marketing fluff. Real answers to the things that come up in the first 15-min call.

?

Why's it free? What's the actual catch?

The catch is the £49/month — that's it, in full. I don't make money on the build (that's my time invested). I make a margin on the £49/month after my actual running costs (your hosting, domain, my time, the local SEO work). It's a slow, honest, volume-based business — the more clients I keep happy long-term, the better it works. That's exactly why I don't lock you in: my job is to be worth £49/mo every month, not to trap you with a contract.
?

Who owns the domain?

The domain is registered in my account (so I can manage everything from one place) but you're listed as the owner. If you ever cancel, I'll transfer it to your own registrar account free of charge. You're never held hostage.
?

What if I don't like the demo?

You walk away. No money has changed hands, no contract signed. I'll have spent a couple of hours on the demo — that's my risk, not yours. We can have one round of tweaks if you mostly like it but want changes. If we still can't get there, no hard feelings.
?

How does the referral discount work?

Every customer gets a unique referral code (e.g. TOM-A8K3). When a friend uses your code, they get their first month free, and you get £25 off your next month — applied automatically. Refer 2 mates = your next month is essentially free. Refer 3+ and the credit stacks across multiple months.
?

Is there a contract? Can I cancel any time?

No contract. Cancel any time, no penalty. Your £49 starts the day your site goes live and bills monthly from there. If you ever want to leave, one email or WhatsApp and I cancel your subscription at the end of the current month — no exit fee, no remainder calculation, no tied-in months.

Your domain gets transferred to your own host free of charge so you're never held hostage, and you keep your business email going somewhere else if you want to.

I deliberately don't lock people in. Some £19/mo services use 10-day "free trials" that auto-bill the moment they end (and the £19 is actually £23.99 once VAT lands). I'd rather earn the £49 every month by actually being worth it than rely on a contract to stop you leaving.
?

How long does it take to go live?

Demo within 48 hours of you applying. Meeting within a couple days of that. If you say yes, your site is live within 5–7 days of the meeting. Total: about a week to ten days from application to launch. Faster if your domain is already pointed somewhere I can take over.
?

Do you do ecommerce / online ordering?

Not in the £49/mo standard offer. Ecommerce adds complexity and I want to keep the core offer clean. If you need a shop, mention it on the application and I'll quote separately — typically a one-off setup fee and a small bump on the monthly.
?

What if I want to scale later — bigger site, more pages?

I keep these sites lean and focused on the work that brings paying customers in. If you grow into something bigger — a proper shop, dozens of pages, a booking system — I'll quote it as a separate project. Most clients never need it because the local SEO pulls in enough work. Either way, you're not stuck with a small site forever.
?

Do you do Google Ads or SEO consulting?

Yes — quoted case by case. Google Ads management depends on your ad spend and target area: more ad spend means more enquiries, which means more time managing the campaign, which means more money. SEO foundations are already in the £49/mo (schema, sitemap, local landing pages, indexing). Deeper keyword strategy or competitor work is a separate quote.
?

What if I'm not in Bristol?

I work with UK businesses everywhere — Bristol's just where I'm based. Everything's done over phone, video calls, and WhatsApp. I've never had to be in the same room as a client to build their site.
