Pay monthly vs paying upfront for a website
A pay monthly website spreads the cost, keeps everything in one place and means you always know exactly what you’re paying. Here’s how it compares with paying upfront.
| Feature | Pay monthly with Ubie | Paying upfront |
|---|---|---|
| Cost to get started | Just your first monthly payment, from £39. No setup fee and no deposit. | The full design fee, often £1,000 or more, paid before your website goes live. |
| Hosting, email and security | Included and looked after for you. | Usually charged separately, renewed every year and your responsibility to manage. |
| Updates and changes | Included every month, so your website never goes stale. | Often charged per job or by the hour. |
| Support | UK-based support from the people who built your website. | Varies, and often limited once the project is signed off. |
| Ownership | Yours once the first 12 months are paid, with no lock-in after that. | Yours from day one. |
| After the first year | Same price, month to month, with no new contract. Hosting, updates and support all still included. | Hosting, renewals, security and maintenance all still to arrange and pay for. |
| Best for | Small businesses that want a professional website, predictable costs and nothing technical to manage. | Businesses with a bigger budget that are happy to manage hosting, updates and security themselves. |
For example, the Essential plan costs £468 for the whole first year (12 × £39), with design, hosting, business email, security, updates and support all included. That's less than many businesses pay upfront for the design alone.

- What is a pay monthly website?
A pay monthly website is a professionally designed website you pay for with a simple monthly fee instead of a large upfront cost. With Ubie Websites, your monthly plan includes design, hosting, business email, security and ongoing UK support.
- How much does a Pay Monthly Website cost?
Our Pay Monthly Websites start from £39 per month, with no setup fee. Business is £69 per month and Premium is £89 per month.
- Is a pay monthly website better than paying upfront?
For most small businesses, yes. You spread the cost, so you can launch a professional website without a large upfront payment. Hosting, security, updates and support are included in your monthly price, and the website is yours once the first 12 months are paid.
- Do I own my pay monthly website?
Yes. Once your first 12 months are paid, the design, content and files are yours. It’s built on WordPress, so it isn’t tied to us. After 12 months, your plan carries on month to month at the same price, with no new contract. If you leave after that, we’ll move your website to you or your new provider.
- What is included in the monthly price?
Website design, hosting, business email, updates and ongoing support are included on every plan. Business and Premium also include content writing.
- Do I need to pay a large upfront fee?
No. There is no large upfront fee. We simply take your first monthly payment before we begin work on your website.
- How long does it take to build my website?
Most websites launch in under 2 weeks. Timing depends on the size of your website and how quickly we receive your content and feedback. You’ll see a preview and can request changes before it goes live.
- Is there a contract, and what happens after 12 months?
Plans start with 12 months. After that it’s month to month at the same price, with no new contract, and you can leave with 30 days’ notice. Once the first 12 months are paid, the website is yours, and we’ll move it to you or your new provider.
- How do I get started?
Complete our online registration form to get started, or contact us if you’d like to learn more about our services and find the plan that’s right for your business.
- Will my website work on mobile devices?
Yes. All websites are built to work across mobile, tablet and desktop devices.
- Can I use my existing domain name?
Yes. We can connect an existing domain to your new website.
- Do you provide support after launch?
Yes. Ongoing website support is included with our Pay Monthly Website plans.
- Do you offer SEO services?
Yes. We offer Local SEO services to help businesses improve their visibility in local Google searches.
- Do you work with businesses in my area?
Yes. We work with small businesses across the UK by phone, video call and WhatsApp, so you do not need to be nearby. We have local pages for London, Croydon, Enfield, Colchester, Leeds and Nottingham, with examples of websites we look after in each area.

A practical small-business SEO checklist
July 21, 2023
Small-business SEO starts with helping the right people find accurate, useful information about what you offer. Work through the foundations before buying tools or producing large amounts of new content.
More traffic is not always the answer to a quiet enquiry inbox. First check whether the right visitors can understand your offer, trust the business and contact you without unnecessary effort.
Before launch, test the website as a customer rather than only checking whether the pages look finished. A good launch checklist covers content, important journeys, access and what will happen to the old site’s addresses.
