Web design in Southampton without the big-agency price tag

A city-centre studio will often quote you four figures up front and then bill you for hosting on top. We work the other way round: nothing to pay up front, £10 a month all in, and a site coded by hand. We’re based in Eastleigh, five miles up the road.

Where the money normally goes

Six things that usually show up as separate lines on a Southampton quote. With us they’re all in the one monthly price.

The build

Normally the big number you pay up front. We spread it into the monthly fee, so month one costs the same as month twelve.

Hosting

Usually £10–25 a month on top, or a yearly invoice you forget about until it bounces. It’s included here.

The domain

Registered and renewed for you, in your name if you’d rather. If you leave, it comes with you at no cost.

SSL, security, backups

The padlock in the address bar, security updates and a nightly backup. Dull, but you need them, and they’re included.

Small changes

A couple a month are in the fee. A lot of places bill these by the hour with a minimum charge, which is a big reason so many sites never get updated.

On-page SEO

Proper titles, headings, structured data and a fast page come with every plan at no extra cost.

Built for a Southampton business

Ozzy Kebab

Kebab van · Southampton

The van was doing good trade but had nowhere to send people online. It now has its own site and domain with the full menu and collection ordering. Order alerts come through more than one way, so an order shouldn’t slip past during a Friday rush, and there’s no marketplace commission on any of it.

What Southampton businesses ask

Including the price question everyone wants to ask.

How much does a website cost in Southampton?
Southampton studios often quote somewhere between £800 and £3,000 up front for a small-business site, then charge separately for hosting and for changes. We charge £10 a month for a website with hosting, domain and SSL included, or £15 a month if you need booking, quoting, invoicing, a shop or food ordering with it. There’s nothing to pay up front.
What’s the catch at £10 a month?
There isn’t a hidden one, but there is a trade-off you should know about. It’s a monthly service rather than a one-off purchase, so you’re paying for the site to be hosted, kept secure and kept up to date instead of buying a file and walking away. The domain is yours, and we’ll transfer it free if you ever leave, so you aren’t locked in.
You’re based in Eastleigh. Does that matter?
Not really. We’re about five miles up the road, and the work is all done over WhatsApp and email anyway, so it makes no difference whether you’re in Shirley, Portswood or Bitterne. Southampton is well within our patch.
Will I rank for “… in Southampton”?
Southampton is competitive, and a lot depends on your trade. “Plumber Southampton” is a fight. “Turkish barber Portswood” is much less of one. We build the page properly, aim it at the phrases you can realistically win, and help get your Google Business Profile in order. What we won’t do is promise you the top spot.
Can you move my existing site over?
Yes. We rebuild it, keep your existing page addresses so you don’t lose ranking, point the domain across and do the switch out of hours, so the changeover doesn’t happen while you’re trading.
Do I need the £15 plan?
Only if you want the tools. If you just need a proper website that gets people ringing you, the £10 plan is the one. Salons and barbers usually want booking, trades want quoting and invoicing, takeaways want ordering and shops want a checkout, and those are on the £15 plans. You can move up whenever you like, and switching is free.
