How we compare.

Most local web designers charge a one-off build, then bill hosting, email and every change separately. DIY builders look cheap until you do the building. Here is the honest picture.

Your own domain and inbox.

A memorable web address and a branded email address make you look established from day one. Both are included, and we set them up for you.

A web address that's yours

We help you find and register the perfect domain, then point it at your new site. A .co.uk or .com your customers remember.

An inbox that matches

Ditch the gmail.com and yahoo.co.uk. A branded address like hello@yourbusiness.co.uk looks professional and builds instant trust. We set it up for you.

Built by an ecommerce team.

The team behind Lightwork runs and supports serious UK online stores: over £5M in revenue and 250,000 orders. Your website gets the same team and the same standards, at a small-business price. We are based in Norfolk and build for small businesses across the UK. Read what our clients say.

We are not an agency.

Lightwork is a small team of niche ecommerce and Magento specialists, and we keep our client list deliberately small. No account managers, no juniors, no ticket queue between you and an answer. The person you speak to is the person doing the work.

A small teamSenior specialists only. Nobody learns on your site.
A short client listKept small on purpose, so every site gets senior time.
Direct accessYou talk to the people doing the work, from your first email.

Simple from start to live.

Four steps from first hello to a site you're proud of.

1

Tell us about your business

A quick chat about what you do and what you want the site to say. No forms, just a conversation.

2

We design and build it

A clean design that fits your brand, built in full. You see it on a staging link before it goes live.

3

You approve it

You review every page and tell us if anything needs tweaking. We don't go live until you're happy.

4

We go live and keep it running

We handle the domain, hosting, and launch. Your monthly plan covers updates and maintenance from there.

Common questions.

Do the prices include VAT?

Prices exclude VAT, which is added at 20% where applicable. As a worked example, your first Basic payment is £324 + VAT (the £295 build fee plus your first month), then £29 + VAT a month.

I already have a domain. Can I keep it?

Yes. We point your existing domain at your new site, and it stays registered in your name. The included domain simply becomes optional.

What is the one-off build fee?

The build fee is £295 for Basic and £495 for Premium. It is a one-time fee covering design, development and launch, confirmed in writing before any work starts. The monthly fee covers your domain, hosting, and ongoing updates.

Who owns the domain?

You do. We register your domain in your name, so it is yours to keep.

What happens if I leave?

You give us 30 days' notice and we help you move your domain and content to wherever you are going next. No exit fees, no awkwardness.

How long does a build take?

Typically two to three weeks once we have your content and photos. We agree a realistic timeline with you before we start.

Do you only work with Norfolk businesses?

No. We are based in Norfolk and work with small businesses in Norwich, across East Anglia and throughout the UK. Everything happens over phone, email and video call.

Do I need to write the content?

No. Tell us about your business in your own words and we shape them into web copy. You supply photos if you have them, or we source quality stock imagery.

Let's get you online.

Start now and we'll reply within one working day with your start date. No payment today, no jargon, no pressure. Prefer to talk first? Get in touch.
