Domain name, UK hosting, SSL certificate, mobile-friendly design, and ongoing support are all included in both packages. The one-off build fee (£295 Basic, £495 Premium) covers design, build and launch. See the full pricing breakdown. Need to sell online? We build full ecommerce stores too, see our Magento plans.
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.
| Typical local web designer | DIY builders (Wix, Squarespace) | Lightwork | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Build | £400-£600 one-off, typically | You build it yourself | £295 one-off, built for you |
| Monthly cost | £40-£45 for a managed plan | £10-£25, rising at renewal | £29 |
| Domain name | Sometimes included | Free first year, then renews | Included |
| Custom email addresses | Sometimes included | Paid add-on, around £5-£6/month | Included |
| Updates and changes | Charged per change or per hour | You make them yourself | Included every month |
| Contract | Varies, some 12-24 months | Cheapest prices need a year or more upfront | Monthly rolling, 30 days' notice |
| If you leave | Varies, worth asking first | Your site stays locked to the platform | You keep your site, content and domain |

Three demonstration sites we designed and built to show the standard every package gets. Click around them.
You don't need to understand any of the technical side, that's what we're here for. You just need a site that makes your business look the part.
Plumbers, electricians, builders, cleaners, gardeners. A professional site helps customers find you and trust you before they even call.
Cafes, restaurants, shops, hair salons. A smart, well-presented site puts you in front of customers who search online first.
Accountants, therapists, consultants, advisors. A clean, credible website builds confidence around the clock.
Every website we build is hosted on LiteSpeed servers in our UK data centre. No separate hosting fee, no third-party providers to manage. LiteSpeed serves your pages noticeably faster than the hosting most providers resell, so visitors stay and Google ranks you higher.
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.
We help you find and register the perfect domain, then point it at your new site. A .co.uk or .com your customers remember.
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.
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.
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.
Four steps from first hello to a site you're proud of.
A quick chat about what you do and what you want the site to say. No forms, just a conversation.
A clean design that fits your brand, built in full. You see it on a staging link before it goes live.
You review every page and tell us if anything needs tweaking. We don't go live until you're happy.
We handle the domain, hosting, and launch. Your monthly plan covers updates and maintenance from there.
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.
Yes. We point your existing domain at your new site, and it stays registered in your name. The included domain simply becomes optional.
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.
You do. We register your domain in your name, so it is yours to keep.
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.
Typically two to three weeks once we have your content and photos. We agree a realistic timeline with you before we start.
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.
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.
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.
