Is it right for you?
Who it’s for
Businesses whose website doesn’t show how good their work is, or whose site is old, slow or hard to use on a phone.
Not for you if
- You only need one page for an ad or leaflet. See the Enquiry Page, £800.
- Your main problem is missed calls. See Missed-Call Rescue, £800.
Both lists are about the Foundation Build.
How payment works.
You pay £1,750 to start and £1,750 the day your site goes live.
From, in total
£3,500
No VAT is charged. 2 equal payments of £1,750.
- Payment 1: StartBefore work starts £1,750
- Payment 2: LaunchThe day it goes live £1,750
Any Blueprint credit comes off the last stage.
Had a Blueprint?
Start within 14 days of your walkthrough call and the full Blueprint price comes off your final payment, whichever level you build: £200 for a Foundation Blueprint, for example. If you bought your Blueprint under earlier terms, those credit terms still apply to you.
Included after launch
Your first 3 months of the Website Care Plan are included after launch. No card is taken and nothing renews automatically: carry on only if you want to.
What “from” means
£3,500 is the real price for the smallest Foundation Build. If you need more, your proposal fixes the price before any work starts.
Other costs
Third-party costs (domains, paid ads spend and paid tools, such as SMS or CRM fees) are billed at cost or paid directly by you, and are listed in your proposal before you agree.
From first message to launch.
No work starts, and nothing is paid, until you’ve agreed a fixed price in writing.
-
Step 1: Tell Sammy what you need
Fill in the short form below. Sammy replies within one working day.
-
Step 2: A scoping call
Twenty to thirty minutes on what the site or system has to do for your business.
-
Step 3: A fixed-price proposal
The scope, the price, the two payments and what happens after launch, in writing before any work starts.
-
Step 4: Built in stages
You pay the first stage to start. The second is paid at launch. Typically 3–4 weeks.
After launch, the site is yours.
You don’t need a monthly plan after a build. The site is yours: we can hand it over to your own hosting, or look after it on the Care Plan or any monthly plan if you’d like.
The other way round: You don’t need an M1 build to join a plan. If your website works, we can run and grow it as it is.
Before you decide.
Something else? Ask Sammy on WhatsApp.
Can I get a build without a Blueprint?
Already know what you need? You don’t need a Blueprint first: Sammy scopes it with you on a call, then sends a fixed-price proposal before any work starts.
What does “from” mean?
It’s the real price for the smallest version of each build (Foundation Build from £3,500, Growth Build from £6,500, Scale Build from £12,000). If you need more, your proposal shows the fixed price before you agree.
How do I pay for a build?
Builds are paid in stages as the work is done. Foundation at £3,500: 50% to start and 50% at launch. Growth: 4 equal payments from £1,625 each, at the start, design sign-off, systems working in test and launch. Scale: 4 equal payments from £3,000 each, at the start, design sign-off, beta and launch. A Foundation quoted above £3,500 is paid in 3 stages (start, design sign-off and launch), and custom builds in 3 to 5 equal stages, set out in your proposal. If Blueprint credit applies to a project, it comes off your final payment.
No VAT is charged.
Do I have to take a monthly plan afterwards?
No. You don’t need a monthly plan after a build. The site is yours: we can hand it over to your own hosting, or look after it on the Care Plan or any monthly plan if you’d like.
How long does a build take?
Foundation Build: typically 3–4 weeks. Growth Build: typically 4–6 weeks. Scale Build: typically 8–12 weeks. These are estimates. The clock starts once the scope is agreed and your content is in.
What if I bought a Blueprint?
Start any M1 build within 14 days of your walkthrough call and the full Blueprint price comes off it: £200 for a Foundation Blueprint, £500 for a Growth Blueprint or £1,000 for a Scale Blueprint. It comes off your final payment. The Foundation Blueprint’s £200 can come off any quick win instead (£800 or £1,800). Blueprint credit never comes off a monthly plan or the Website Care Plan.
If Blueprint credit applies to a project, it comes off your final payment.
Can I use my own hosting?
Yes. After launch the site is yours. Sammy can hand it over to your own hosting, or look after it on the Website Care Plan or a monthly plan if you’d like.
Are there any other costs?
Third-party costs (domains, paid ads spend and paid tools, such as SMS or CRM fees) are billed at cost or paid directly by you, and are listed in your proposal before you agree.
