Step 1 of 6

Build your website

Start with the website, then open any group and tick what sounds useful. Your receipt fills up as you go.

  • Do you need a new website?

    Count the home page and the contact page. A small business site is usually five to ten.

    And for the website

    • What it is: Clear, friendly words for every page, written after a chat about your business.

      Why it helps: No staring at a blank page, and words that turn visitors into enquiries.

    • What it is: A simple form for enquiries, with spam kept out and real messages sent to you.

      Why it helps: Customers get in touch in seconds, and your inbox stays free of junk.

Happy with your build?

  • Clean and simple, a classic.

Tell me where to send it, and your price is worked out for exactly this build.

This is not a final price. Your written quote is likely to be within 25% of this figure either way, depending on how complex the work turns out to be.

Two startups sold behind these ideas. Ben was the founding engineer at huntr, the bug bounty platform Protect AI bought for over a million dollars, where the work grew into the world's first bug bounty programme for AI. Protect AI was then bought for over seven hundred and fifty million by Palo Alto Networks, one of the hundred biggest companies in America (the S&P 100). The same work, now at the size a local business actually needs.

Questions

Questions about the estimate

Is this the final price?

No, it is a guide to help you plan. Your written quote may come in a little higher or lower, depending on how complex the work turns out to be, and nothing starts until you have agreed it.

Why do you ask for my email address first?

So the price comes to you in writing, line by line, and you can come back to it. You get the estimate and nothing else unless you tick the box for occasional tips.

How long will it take to build?

Most builds take one to three weeks, depending on the size of the job and how soon your words and photos are ready. Your estimate says which end yours is likely to be.

What if my build is a big one?

A bigger build is best planned together, so the estimate will suggest a free consultation. You can still send me the details first if you would rather.
