What you get

The foundation is the same at every size.

Three tiers change how far a build goes. They never change whether it was built properly. Everything on this page is in all of them.

  • Never WordPress.Nothing to patch on a Tuesday, and no plugin to be breached through.
  • Never a template.The site is drawn for your business, not bought and recoloured.
  • Never rent.One build fee, and no Onlineify subscription sitting behind it.
  • Never a hidden price.Every figure is published before you ever speak to us.
  • Never a slow page.Static files on a global network, so it opens before somebody on a phone gives up.

In every build, whichever tier you take

  • First draft of your page copy, written by us
  • Google Business Profile setup
  • Sanity CMS, edit it yourself
  • Search Console and Analytics
  • Contact form

What we promise

  • One editor, for your words.
  • One folder any developer can read, so the next person is never trapped.
  • One guaranteed bill a year: your domain, at cost.
  • One inbox for support, answered within a working day.

And the parts nobody sells you

Every account in your name
Domain, hosting, code, content system and analytics, all registered to you on day one. We are a collaborator on them, never the owner.
Built to be handed over
A filing system a stranger can follow and the reasoning commented into the code, so the next developer is never held up by ours.
Secure and legible to Google
Security headers, schema markup and a bot check on every form, set up during the build rather than sold back to you later.
Consent that means it
Analytics that respect a no. Nothing tracking loads before a yes, and refusing is one press, the same as accepting.

Something more complicated than this?

Plenty of jobs are. A booking system wired to your till, a members area, an integration with software you already run. Tell us what it has to do and we price it as a named line before you pay for anything. If it is not a website we should be building, we will tell you that instead and point you at somebody who should.

Tell us what you need

That is the product. What follows is what the other ways of buying one sound like.

Alternative ways to buy a site.

And the sentences that come with them.

The agency

A team, a proposal, and a price that arrives after a call.

  • We'll need a call in the diary before we can talk numbers.
  • That's outside the original scope, so it'll be a change request.
  • The site sits on our hosting, so it stays with us.

A retainer, and a site you cannot take with you.

The freelancer

One person, a theme, and whatever time they have left over.

  • I'll get to it this weekend.
  • It's built on a theme, so that bit can't move.
  • I've taken a full-time job, but here are the logins.

Nobody to ring when it breaks, and a site nobody else can read.

The site builder

A template, a drag-and-drop editor, and a plan that renews.

  • Pick a template and drag things in.
  • Upgrade to remove our branding.
  • Your plan renews on the fourteenth.

A site that looks like the shop two doors down, and rent for as long as it is up.

None of them are wrong. They are just not how we do it.

Here is how we do it.

The spec sheet

You build the spec yourself.

Pick the pages you need and the features you want, and the price moves as you go. No waiting on a quote, no number out of thin air. It ends with a refundable deposit that books one of our build slots as yours.

What comes out is the sheet on the right: your pages, your features, the dates that matter, and what we need from you. It stays live, so if you add something later the document changes with it.

Build your own spec

The wireframe

Then we draw the blueprint.

Your site as boxes. Every section planned, every button that matters placed, before a single colour goes on. You review it, and that review does not count against your revisions.

It is the cheapest place in the whole project to change your mind. Moving a box takes a minute. Moving a finished page takes a week.

The finished site

Then it becomes the thing you pictured.

We send you a private link nobody else can open. You tell us what you love and what you do not, and your tier sets how many rounds of changes that gets.

Design goes last so it never has to be redone. Decide the look first and every later change is a redesign.

Local businesses

Your customers are within ten miles of the door.

A café, a plumber, a dentist, an estate agent. You are not selling to the internet. You need the search on somebody's phone to end in a visit, a call or a booking, and a site you can keep true yourself without ringing anybody.

  • Cafés and restaurants
  • Trades
  • Clinics and dentists
  • Estate agents
  • Salons and studios
  • Gyms and classes
  1. Found by the people nearby

    Your Google Business Profile set up in your own account, and every page written for the place you serve, so a "near me" search puts you on the list.

  2. One press to the thing they came for

    Call, book, find you, see the menu, see the prices. Whatever a customer came to do is one press from the first screen, on a phone, because that is where they are.

  3. Hours and prices you change yourself

    Bank holiday hours, a new price, a photo from this morning. Changed from the till, the van or the kitchen table, and live before you have put the phone down.

  4. No rent

    One build fee. Hosting and the content system run on free tiers, so your domain is the only bill we can guarantee, at cost. Anything else your build needs is named and priced before you buy it. Nothing recurring to us, ever.

The first thing you will want after launch is to change something. So that is next.

The content system

Then you change your own words.

A CMS is the screen you go to when you want to change something on your site. No code. A well laid-out form with your titles, descriptions, opening hours and photos in it, and a site that updates when you press save.

Every tier on our pricing page says CMS. This is the thing it is promising: your fully custom site, put into software you can edit from your phone at eight in the morning.

Not a page builder, not a blank canvas, not a hundred settings you will never touch. Try it. Change a dish, change a price, add one.

Harbour & Ember · Menu

Dishes

The menu

The menu moves with the boats. This is a taste of a typical day.

  1. i. Day-boat catch, ember butter, sea herbs £24
  2. ii. Charred mackerel, gooseberry, horseradish £14
  3. iii. Wood-fired plaice, brown shrimp, capers £26
  4. iv. Smoked cod's roe, grilled sourdough £9

Getting found

Almost nobody looks past the first five.

Where you land on the results page decides whether you exist. The top few take nearly all the clicks, and everything under them shares what is left over.

  1. Where you land on the page

    First place takes roughly as many clicks as everything below it put together. Position eight gets about one for every hundred the top spot gets. Being listed and being found are not the same thing, and only one of them rings the phone.

  2. What is actually on the page

    Schema, meta descriptions and a sitemap: three plain files and a bit of markup that tell a search engine what your business is, where it is and what it sells. Every build gets them from day one. They are not an upgrade.

  3. Whether anybody has tended it since

    This is the one nobody mentions. Rankings decay. Competitors publish, Google shifts, your opening hours change and nothing on the page says so. A site left completely alone slides down, slowly, without ever appearing to break.

So the work is not “get on Google”. You are already on it, on page two, where nobody goes. It is moving up, which is winnable, and then staying there, which is the part nobody warns you about.

Optional, and cancellable. The site works without it.

Our promise

Simplicity with function.

Everything above is how we keep it.

The costs

Only a £250 deposit to start.

Why there is one
We take a fixed number of builds at a time. The deposit holds one of those build slots for you, so nobody else has our attention while yours is on.
What it buys
A live spec sheet with your pages, your features and a price that cannot move; a booked slot; and the kickoff call in the diary. It comes off the total, not on top of it.
If you change your mind
Fully refundable until your build is under way. Until we have agreed a start date and you have settled the balance, cancel and it comes back in full, no reason needed.

The full terms, including refunds, are on the terms page.

After launch, we keep what you pay each month as close to nothing as we can.

The site is static files on a global network, so there is no server to rent and no plugin licence to renew. The hosting and the content system both run on free tiers, and the build is deliberately made to stay inside them.

Nothing renews by itself. If the site needs us after launch, there is a menu. See the plans.

Extra pages are the same price on every tier, so a bigger site does not move you up one. What moves you up is what the site has to do.

A deposit holds your build slot and comes off the total; the balance is settled after the kickoff call, in full or in two. All prices ex VAT.

Asked before you buy.

Who owns the website?

You do. Domain, hosting, code, CMS and analytics are all in accounts registered to you from day one. If we disappeared tomorrow, your site would not notice.

How does paying work?

A deposit holds your build slot and comes off the total. After the kickoff call you either settle the balance in full, or split it in half: half then, half before launch. Same total either way, and nothing renews by itself afterwards.

Can I edit the site myself?

Yes. Every build includes Sanity, a clean editor wired to your pages. Change copy, prices and photos yourself; the design stays intact.

What if I need changes after launch?

Your support window covers the first 30 to 120 days depending on tier. After that, changes are priced on the menu: from £45 for a small tweak, no retainer required.

More detail on all of it in the full FAQ, or contact us and we reply within one working day. Rather talk it through? You can book 30 minutes (opens in a new tab) with us, no pitch.
