Managed Starter Websites

Managed Starter Websites for New Businesses and Sole Traders

20 May 2026 By Nathan Constance

When you're starting out, every cost decision matters. A website is essential — but a large upfront spend on a fully custom site often doesn't make sense before you've established your customer base and know exactly what your business needs.

A managed starter website is built for exactly this situation.

What you get from day one

From £20 per month, you get a complete, professionally built website — your own domain, fast hosting, SSL, and a site that's properly set up to rank on Google. There's no large upfront cost and no technical knowledge needed.

Most new businesses are live within 5–7 days of providing their details.

Why it suits new businesses specifically

Low financial commitment: You're not locking in thousands of pounds on a website before you've proven the business. The monthly plan has a 6-month minimum, then rolls monthly — so once you're established, you're not tied in.

Grows with you: Every plan includes new pages added each month — 1, 5, or 10 depending on the tier. As your business develops new services, new service areas, or new things to say, the website keeps up.

Professional from the start: First impressions matter. A clean, well-built website with a proper domain — not a free website builder with someone else's branding — establishes credibility from day one.

Nothing to manage yourself: As a new business owner, your time is better spent on the work, not the website. Updates, security, backups, and any small changes are handled for you.

When to consider upgrading

A managed starter website is the right foundation for most new businesses. If, down the line, you need a bespoke design, a complex enquiry system, or an online shop, we can build a fully custom site and carry your domain across without disruption.
