The tenner isn’t the bill
The subscription is the only number a builder ever shows you. The rest of the bill is paid in your evenings — building it, fixing it, and dragging it up to date every time your prices change.
Pricing
Real prices. On the page. Before you speak to anyone.
Most agencies make you book a call to find out what a website costs. Here is the whole thing instead — and you can see your own site rebuilt, free, before you decide a single thing.
Step one · costs nothing
£0
Your main page rebuilt properly and sent to you as a real link. Nothing to book, no card.
Step two · when you want it live
from £400
The build, all in — one agreed price, a year’s hosting included, and you own it.
Step three · keeping it alive
from £8.25 /mo
Hosted, backed up and watched. Or fully run for you from £50 a month.
No hourly rates. No “request a quote”. Anything above a starting price is agreed in writing before a line is built.
The honest bit first
“But my Wix site only costs me a tenner a month.”
Fair. That is genuinely the thought most people have here, so here is the straight answer before we ask you for anything.
You’re renting your front door
Stop paying and the site goes with it. You can’t take the files, you can’t move it, and the platform can change the deal whenever it likes. Ours is yours — on your domain, files in your hands.
Slow costs more than either
Over half of people leave a page that takes more than three seconds on a phone. A builder site loaded with someone else’s code is slow by design. That’s not a tenner a month — it’s the enquiries you never saw.
A Wix site you build yourself is £192 a year plus about 20 hours of your own time.
If you charge £40 an hour, year one already cost you £992.
Ours starts at £400 and costs you about an hour — answering questions. That is the entire argument, and the sums are below if you want to check them.
Show me the full maths
Platform prices are their advertised annual-billed rates, checked August 2026 — monthly billing costs 16–28% more. A domain is extra on all of them, ours included.
Getting online — year one
| You pay | Hours of your life | |
|---|---|---|
| Wix Core — you build it | £192 | 20+ |
| Squarespace Core — you build it | £204 | 20+ |
| AI ORCA — we build it | from £400 | about 1 |
20 hours is us being generous. Published estimates put the build alone at 20–40 hours, and 60–80 once you count learning the platform, the copywriting and the SEO. Our hour is you answering questions.
So — what’s an hour of your time worth?
| Your hourly rate | 20 hours costs you | DIY really costs | We cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| £25 | £500 | £692 | from £400 |
| £40 | £800 | £992 | from £400 |
| £60 | £1,200 | £1,392 | from £400 |
If you charge clients £40 an hour, twenty hours on a website builder is £800 of work you didn’t do. That’s the real price of the cheap option.
And every year after that
| You pay | Your hours | Real cost at £40/hr | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wix Core, kept going by you | £192 | ~12 | £672 |
| AI ORCA — Care | £99 | none | £99 |
One hour a month keeping a builder site alive is twelve hours a year you never get back. Our aftercare costs less than the cheapest paid Wix plan — and costs you nothing in hours.
Longer version, with the sources: the real cost of free website builders and Wix vs a hand-built site.
Step one · £0
Your free website.
Fill in a short form — your name, your email, and a link to your site or Instagram if you’ve got one. Under a minute, no card, no call to book.
It is one page, it is genuinely free, and it is yours to look at whether or not you ever pay us a penny. If you want it turned into the full site on your own domain, that starts at £400 — and you will know the exact number before you agree to anything.
01
You tell us where to look
Name, email, and your website or Instagram if you have one. No site yet? Tick the box and skip that bit — we’ll still build you something.
02
We rebuild your main page
Properly — your words, your photos, hand-coded and fast. Not a template with your logo dropped in.
03
It lands in your inbox
A live link in a few days, plus a short note on what we changed and why. Then you decide, in your own time.
No call. Nothing to book. No card. We take a handful at a time, so it’s first come.
Step two · from £400
Your website, built and live — one price, agreed up front.
Brand new, or a proper rebuild of an existing Wix or Squarespace site. We look at what you actually need first, then give you one number. No hourly guessing, no page-builder bloat, no lock-in.
Always included, at every price
- Hand-coded, mobile-first and fast — no page builder underneath it
- Your brand, your colours, your words — written with you, not generated at you
- An enquiry form wired straight to your inbox and your phone
- 12 months’ hosting, SSL and your domain pointed — in the price, not bolted on
- Live in days, and the files are yours — you can walk off with it any time
And what actually moves the price
- How many pages there are — one strong page is the cheapest thing we build
- Whether people need to book or pay on it
- A shop, a members’ area, or a second language
- Whether the photos and words already exist, or we’re making them
- Nothing else. There is no line on the invoice you haven’t already seen.
Rebuilding an existing Wix or Squarespace site? Same pricing, plus £50/mo to keep it running — cancel any time. On a build that came from a free page, there’s nothing to pay until it’s live and you love it.
Step three · keeping it alive
Once it’s built, pick how much you want to think about it.
Some websites change every week. Plenty say the same thing for a year, and that’s completely fine. You are never forced onto a monthly plan to keep your own site online.
You ask · you message · you don’t have to ask. That’s the whole difference between the three.
Care
£99/yr
You ask, we do it.
A trade with one location. A therapist with a fixed list of services. Any business whose offer hasn’t changed in three years.
What you get
- Hosting, SSL and daily backups — that’s £8.25 a month
- Uptime monitoring — we notice it’s down before you do
- Your first update free, then £60 a change, quoted first if it’s big
- No lock-in — it’s your site and you can take it whenever
Keep it running
£50/mo
You message, it’s done.
Coaches, trainers, salons, clinics, gyms — anyone whose prices, services or availability move through the year and who’d rather send one message than log into anything.
Everything in Care, plus
- Every change included — no quote, no invoice, no counting
- Done within two working days of you asking
- Breakages fixed before you ever find them
- Security, speed and broken links kept healthy for you
Keep it current
£85/mo
You don’t have to ask.
Anyone with something new every month — events, classes, retreats, courses, new work to show. If it goes on your Instagram, it should be on your site.
Everything in Keep it running, plus
- A monthly content refresh — we draft it, you approve it
- What’s next gets promoted; what’s passed comes down
- New work, reviews and photos added as they happen
- Us on WhatsApp, and your changes live the next working day
Which one is actually cheaper for you — our maths, not our sales pitch
On Care, changes are £60 each. Four changes a year costs you £339 — a lot less than Keep it running at £600. If your site genuinely changes two or three times a year, stay on Care. We’d rather tell you that than take the monthly.
The two meet at about eight or nine changes a year — roughly one every six weeks. Past that, Keep it running costs you less and you stop paying per job. We’ll be the ones to tell you when you cross that line, because we’re the ones counting.
Bolt onto any build

- Proven on our own builds — it’s what runs the report pipeline behind 360 Performance Academy today
More on that: getting found.
The risk is mine, not yours
You don’t pay the balance until you love it.
On a rebuild that came from a free page, there’s nothing to pay until it’s live and you love it. On larger builds it’s half to start, half when it’s live and you’re happy — and if it’s not live in 14 days, your deposit comes straight back. We take on a handful of builds at a time so each one gets full attention. That’s why we can back it like this.
In their words
Real builds. Real clients.
★★★★★
“Euan didn’t just build a website — he built the whole engine behind the academy. The app, the reports in my own voice, the automations. Our players get a level of service I couldn’t deliver alone.”
360 Performance Academy
★★★★★
“Our park’s in the middle of nowhere and hard to explain to foreign anglers. The new site does the selling for us — the lake map, the species, the whole story — and enquiries come straight to my phone.”
Fishing resort · Thailand
★★★★★
“From the branding to the website, everything finally looks like one place — clean, professional and unmistakably us. It feels like a completely different business, and it actually brings people in.”
The Healing Centre · Larkhall
