FAQs

A pay monthly website plan is a cost-effective way to get a professional website without a large upfront fee. Instead of paying hundreds or thousands of pounds in one go, you pay a simple monthly amount that includes design, hosting and ongoing support. This makes it much easier to manage your cashflow, especially for small businesses and startups in Glasgow.

A pay monthly website is also more flexible. As your business grows or changes, we can update the design, content and features without you needing to commission a whole new site. You’re not stuck with a website that quickly becomes outdated — it’s a living, evolving part of your business and local marketing in Glasgow.

Some web developers and agencies still charge four- or five-figure sums for fairly basic websites, often bundling in extras that clients don’t really use. Prices across the industry are coming down as more people use modern tools and streamlined processes, but many agencies still carry high overheads that push up their prices.

We keep our prices low because we’re a small, Glasgow-based web design company with low running costs. We work from home rather than a city-centre office, and we focus on practical, effective websites rather than fancy agency theatrics. This allows us to offer affordable and even “cheap” web design in Glasgow — a bespoke, professionally built website and ongoing maintenance from only £25 per month — without cutting corners on quality.

We can design and build your website either by hand-coding (HTML, CSS and JavaScript) or by using a modern website builder such as Squarespace. Our standard method is hand-coding with HTML and CSS because it keeps your site light, fast and highly customisable, which is great for SEO and user experience.

During the design process, we’ll talk about your business, your customers and what you want your website to achieve. We then create a layout, colours and structure that reflect your brand. We can also integrate tools like contact forms, booking forms, image galleries and maps. We’ll recommend the approach that best fits your business and we’ll decide together which route is most appropriate.

Yes. Your monthly fee includes fast, reliable web hosting — you don’t need a separate hosting account. Hosting is provided by an external hosting company, but the cost is covered in your monthly plan (which we pay for on your behalf).

At the moment, we host our sites on a shared server provided by a North American company called ChemiCloud. They offer excellent performance, security and uptime, which means your Glasgow business website is online and available to your customers around the clock.

The main benefit is that you’re not paying a large amount upfront for something that might need changes or stop meeting your needs in a few months. If your business model changes, you rebrand or you close the business, you can simply stop paying with no cancellation fee.

With a monthly website, the risk is lower for you and higher for us. We’re motivated to keep your site looking good, secure and up to date because we don’t want to lose you as a client. It also means your website can grow with your business rather than becoming a fixed, outdated asset you paid for years ago.

Your £25 monthly fee includes website hosting, ongoing maintenance, security monitoring and technical support. Your website can be no bigger than 3 pages. In other words, you get a fully managed “pay monthly web design Glasgow” service for a simple fixed price. Our most populare package is the £35 per month package which is allows up to 30 pages, is optimised for SEO and as well as maintenance allows for design changes so you can add to your website on a regular basis.

We take care of the technical side — backups, software updates, performance checks and basic SEO housekeeping — so you can focus on running your business. If you need bigger changes later (such as adding new sections or features), we’ll agree any extra cost upfront so there are no surprises.

No, there are no hidden fees. For a standard site, we build the website at no upfront cost. You only start paying the monthly fee once the site is live and you’re happy with it. Your monthly payment covers hosting, maintenance and ongoing support.

The only additional cost is your domain name (for example, yourbusiness.co.uk), which you can buy yourself or we can help you purchase. If you ever need large, one-off development work, we’ll clearly explain any extra costs before going ahead.

Most small business websites are completed within 5–10 days once we’ve received your content (such as text, logo and images). Simple brochure sites can sometimes be finished even quicker, while more complex sites may take a little longer.

We’ll give you an estimated timescale at the start of the project, and we’ll keep you updated along the way. Because we hand-code many of our websites, we can usually make tweaks and improvements quickly without waiting on heavy templates or complicated systems.

Absolutely. Your monthly fee includes ongoing updates and small design changes. If you want to update your services, change images, tweak colours or add new sections, just let us know and we’ll take care of it.

For larger redesigns or major structural changes, we’ll discuss the scope with you first. The advantage of a pay monthly website is that you don’t feel stuck with your original design — we can evolve it as your Glasgow business grows.

Yes. Every website we build includes basic on-page SEO as standard. This includes optimised page titles, meta descriptions, headings, image alt tags and clean, fast-loading code. We also structure the site sensibly so it is easier for Google to crawl and understand.

For many small local businesses in Glasgow, this level of SEO is enough to get started. If you’d like more advanced SEO support — such as blog content, backlink strategies or ongoing optimisation — we can discuss additional options tailored to your budget.

Yes. Many business owners know their trade but don’t know what to write on a website. We can help you shape your content so it’s clear, friendly and focused on what customers in Glasgow and beyond actually search for.

You can provide rough notes or bullet points and we can tidy them up into website copy. We can also recommend stock images or help you make the most of any photos you already have, such as pictures of your shop, van or team.

We can help you set up professional email addresses using your domain name (for example, info@yourbusiness.co.uk). In many cases this is done using services like Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, which are billed separately by those providers.

We’ll guide you through the options and help you choose what suits your budget and the way you work. Having a proper business email address can make a big difference to how professional your Glasgow business looks online.

If you decide to cancel, you can do so at any time with no cancellation fees. Your site will remain online until the end of your current billing period and then it will be taken down.

If you’d like to move to another provider, we can help you export your content (text and images) so you don’t lose the work that has already been done. Our aim is always to be fair and transparent, not to lock you into a long-term contract you can’t leave.

We can discuss e-commerce options such as small online shops, product catalogues and simple payment integrations. The exact monthly cost will depend on how many products you have and what kind of functionality you need (for example, stock management or shipping rules).

For some businesses, it’s better to start with a brochure-style website and add e-commerce later once you know what sells well online. We’ll always advise you honestly based on your situation and budget.

Yes. We can add contact forms, quote request forms, simple booking forms and links to your social media accounts. For some sectors we can also integrate third-party booking or scheduling tools.

Making it easy for visitors to contact you is a key part of a good small business website. We make sure your contact details and calls to action are clear across the site, especially on mobile devices.

Once your website is built and live, we set up a monthly payment, usually by card or direct debit. The payment is taken automatically each month, so there’s nothing for you to remember.

You’ll receive confirmation of your payments, and if anything ever changes — for example, if you upgrade your plan — we’ll let you know in advance. There are no long-term contracts or exit fees with our standard arrangements.

To get started, we usually need your business name, logo (if you have one), contact details, a list of your services and any photos you’d like to use. If you already have a domain name, we’ll need access details or help pointing it to our hosting.

Don’t worry if you don’t have everything perfect on day one. We can launch with the essentials and then refine and expand the content over time as part of your monthly plan.
