Wonderful Web
For small UK businesses
A proper websitefor your business.£50 a month.
Need a first website, or a refresh of one that's looking tired? We will design and build it for you. You pay nothing until it's live.
I'm Daniel Hobson. Ten years building websites, and I'll be the one who builds and looks after yours - no account manager, no handover to someone junior.
Websites for
If your website isn't earning its keep
Most people look you up before they ring, book or buy. If there's nothing to find - or what they find looks like it was built in 2014 - they quietly go to whoever looks more capable. You never hear about the job you didn't get. That's the expensive part.
Any of these sound familiar?
- No website at all, just a social profile
- A site that looks dated next to your competitors
- Something that doesn't work properly on a phone
- A site you can't update without paying someone
- A builder subscription you're paying for and not using
What you get for £50 a month
One plan. Everything needed to have a website that works and stays working.
- Designed for your business, not from a template
- I write the copy and design the pages around how your customers actually decide. It won't look like everyone else's.
- Quick, and works everywhere
- Loads fast, works properly on a phone, and set up so Google can actually find you. How that's done is my problem - you just need it to work.
- You can edit it yourself
- Your own login for text, prices and photos - change them from your phone in two minutes. Want a page reworked rather than tweaked? Ask me and I'll do it.

That's £600 a year. Most of the businesses I build for charge more than that for a single job.
You carry none of the risk
I'm one person. No office, no account managers, no sales team to pay for. And there's no build fee, which means I only get paid if you stay - so the site has to actually earn its keep. That's the deal, and it's why the price is the price.
- See it finished before you pay anything
- You pay nothing while I design and build it. You see the finished site, working, before any money changes hands - and if you don't want it, you don't take it and you owe me nothing.
- No minimum term
- No minimum term, no notice period and no exit fee. The terms are one page in plain English and you can read them before you start.
- Leave whenever
- Tell me and it stops - no notice period, no exit fee. Your domain was always registered in your name, so your address on the internet stays yours. The website itself is part of the plan rather than something you buy outright, so it comes down when the plan ends - that's exactly what makes £50 a month possible instead of a few thousand up front.

How this compares to the alternatives
Three honest ways to get a website, and what each one actually costs you - in money and in your own time.

Built for you. Yours to change.
If you can post on Facebook, you can do this. On a website builder you get a login and a blank page - you're the designer, the copywriter and the person who never finishes it. Here I do the building and the writing, and you still get the login for the easy stuff. Change a price at 9pm from your phone without emailing anyone or paying extra.
Things you can change without asking me
- Put your prices up
- Add photos of a job you've just finished
- Change your opening hours before a bank holiday
- Write a new service page
- Fix a typo you spotted
Need a custom feature, or something big? We can discuss and agree a price for any additional work.
How it works
Three steps, and usually about a week from start to live.
01
Tell me about the business
What you do, where you work, and whether you already have a site or a domain. A ten-minute call is usually enough.
02
I build it - you pay nothing yet
Copy, design, build. You see it and tell me what to change. Still no fee at this point, and if you don't want it you don't take it.
03
It goes live, then it's £50 a month
I show you how to edit it yourself, and I'm still here for anything bigger. Hosting included. Cancel whenever. You cover your own domain.
FAQs
Is there a big upfront cost?
No. You pay £50 a month for the website. There’s no separate build fee. You only pay for your own domain (usually around £10–15 a year).
When does the first payment come out?
Once the site is live and you’re happy with it - not before. I design and build it first, you look at it, and nothing is charged until it’s actually up and working. If you decide against it at that point, you don’t take it and you don’t pay.
What happens if I cancel?
Tell me and it stops - no notice period, no exit fee. Your domain was always registered in your name, so that’s yours regardless. The site itself comes down: it's part of the plan rather than something you buy outright, and that's what keeps it at £50 a month instead of a few thousand up front. Anything you gave me - your photos, your logo - is still yours and you already have it. If you want to own the build outright, ask and I'll price it.
How is this different from the other £50-a-month website companies?
Mostly on three things. Term: a lot of them run 12 to 36 months minimum, this has none. Risk: they take the build fee or the first payment before you’ve seen anything, here you see the finished site first. And who you deal with: you get me, the person who built it, not a support queue.
How is this different from Wix or Squarespace?
Those give you a login and a blank page - you’re the designer, the copywriter and the person who has to finish it. Plenty of people pay for one of those for years and never launch. Here I do the designing, writing and building, and you still get the login for the easy stuff afterwards.
Who am I actually dealing with?
Me - Daniel. I’ve been doing web development for over ten years. There’s no account manager, no team you never meet, and no handover to someone junior once the job is won.
Do I need to be good with computers to edit it?
No. If you can use Facebook or send a photo from your phone, you can use this. You log in, click the bit you want to change, type over it, and hit save. I’ll walk you through it once when the site goes live, and if you get stuck you can just ask me.
What if I need changes later?
Most of the time you won’t need me. You get your own login, so text, prices, opening hours and photos are yours to change whenever you like - from your phone, in a couple of minutes. For anything bigger, like a new page or a layout change, tell me and I’ll sort it as part of the monthly plan.
Can I upload my own photos?
Yes - straight from your phone. Photos of finished jobs are the single best thing you can add to a website, so the sooner you’re in the habit of uploading them yourself, the better the site works.
I’ve already got a website. Can you replace or refresh it?
Yes. If it’s costing you enquiries or looks outdated, I can build you a clearer site on the same £50 per month plan and point your existing domain at it. Sometimes it’s quicker to rebuild than to repair, and I’ll tell you honestly which it is - either way the price is the same.
Do I need a logo or photos?
A logo helps if you have one - I don’t design logos as part of this plan. Photos from your real work are best; we can use stock where you’re short.
Who writes the words on the site?
I do. You tell me about the business; I turn that into clear copy aimed at getting enquiries.
Will I show up on Google?
Your site is built to be found when people nearby search for what you do. Ranking depends on competition in your area - but the whole point of the site is to put you in front of local customers.
I get work from word of mouth. Do I still need a website?
Word of mouth is gold. People still look you up online before they ring or book. No site - or a tired one - and they often pick someone who looks more professional.
Do you only work with certain industries?
The plan is for small local businesses across the UK. There are dedicated pages for common industries - if yours isn’t listed, get in touch anyway.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No long contract, no minimum term. Cancel when you want - just let me know.
How long until my site is live?
Usually about a week once I’ve got what I need from you (business details, photos if you have them, domain access).
Why is this only £50 a month?
I'm one person. No office, no account managers, no sales team to pay for. And there's no build fee, which means I only get paid if you stay - so the site has to actually earn its keep. That's the deal, and it's why the price is the price.
Ready for a website that pulls its weight?
Whether you've got nothing yet or something that's past it, the plan is the same - and it costs you nothing until it's live.
Tell me about the business and I'll reply within one working day. No obligation, no sales call unless you want one.
Reminder
£50 per month · nothing to pay until it's live
You pay nothing while I design and build it. You see the finished site, working, before any money changes hands - and if you don't want it, you don't take it and you owe me nothing.
