Pay As You Grow
Websites don’t have to be expensive!
When you’re starting a new business venture or just looking to get more eyes on an existing one, finding a bottomless pit of cash for a website isn’t usually top of the list. It doesn’t have to be that way.
Our Pay As You Grow option gets you started with a single page and a platform that can grow with the business, when you decide.Ā Ā
Websites that grow with your business
How does it work?
Typically, when you decide to get a new website you’ll be choosing between these options:
Paying Ā£500+ upfront now for a new site
This is the traditional model, and for a lot of people it works well. We offer this too, but it’s not easy when you’re starting out or have limited funds. Of course, prices can vary and Ā£500 is a very conservative example.
Paying Ā£40 a month but no up-front costs
Some companies offer a pay-monthly service, with no up-front costs. Again, this model can work well for some people but you can often end up paying much more this way and end up with a sub-standard site as well. We know, we’ve been rescuing people from these plans a lot recently š
Just do something simple in Wix* for now
Not a Wix-bashing – other simple site builders are available, and for some people this may be all that you need. Don’t settle for second-best with the ‘this will do for now’ attitude though – you and your business are worth more than that.
Instead, with our Pay As You Grow service, you get the best parts of all of those options:
Pay for a single-page to be built now
We’ll setup a hosting account, install WordPress and build out the initial page to get you started with the content you provide. This can include links to other sites and social profiles, a contact form, or other functionality.
Pay a small amount each month
The Hosting account includes email address, an SSL certificate and our unrivalled UK-based server platform. There’s a small monthly charge to keep that all running smoothly and we’ll also take care of backups, security and system updates for you in the background.Ā
Update it whenever you want to
The big advantage of our Pay As You Grow service is that you don’t have to scrap what you had and start again when you want to grow the site. Everything is already in place and new pages or functionality can be added at any time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s included?
Our Pay As You Grow plan is designed to get you started at an affordable entry point, with the option to grow the site and content as the business grows or budget allows.

What’s the cost?
We usually charge Ā£195 to setup a one-page site ready to grow with you, and Ā£10 a month for the hosting (includes email and SSL certificate – no nasty extras). There is currently a promotional rate of Ā£250 for the setup, single-page and first year’s hosting all included.
