How it works
Three simple steps from your first call to a website you can share.
Tell us about your business and what you need. We’ll recommend the right plan and answer your questions, with no obligation.
Send us your details, photos and any wording you have. We custom design your website, by a real person in the UK and not AI, and send you a preview. Most sites are live in under 2 weeks.
Once you’re happy, we launch it. We then handle the hosting, security, backups and updates, with UK-based support whenever you need a change.
What our customers say
“Ubie are head and shoulders above the competitors”
Review from Rob Penick on Trustpilot
Great customer service from the start. Ben and team very helpful. Website was up and running in 2 weeks. Had minimal adjustments to make.
“Excellent service provided and always on hand to make amendments”
Review from Jordan Wilson on Trustpilot
I’ve been with Ubie for around 5 years now! Excellent service provided and always on hand to make amendments and updates when required.
“Top tier web developers, highly recommended”
Review from James McNamara on Trustpilot
Almost every time a site has been presented as a first draft it's been pretty much exactly what was asked for. They have great support and communication.

Review from Simon Jenkins on Trustpilot
Consistently reliable service, always pro-active with the management of our websites over the last 6 years.
“Outstanding service, attention to detail is fantastic”
Review from Andrew Hodgson on Google
Outstanding service, attention to detail is fantastic, would highly recommend Ben and the team.
Ubie vs DIY builders, AI builders and agencies
In short: a UK designer builds your website for £0 upfront, then we host it, update it and support it for one monthly price. Here’s how that compares with building it yourself, using an AI builder or hiring an agency.

Typical service models; providers vary. Your Ubie website is yours: it’s built on WordPress and we’ll transfer it if you leave. Third-party licence and handover terms apply.
Before you get started
- Who will I deal with?
You deal directly with the people who design and look after your website. There are no call centres or chatbots, and UK-based support is available by ticket, email or phone.
- Where are you based?
Ubie Ltd is a UK company registered in England and Wales, with a registered office in London. We work with small businesses across the UK by phone and online, so you don’t need to be nearby.
- Do I own my website, and can I move it later?
Yes. You own the rights to your website, and because we build on WordPress, it isn’t tied to us. Your plan starts with 12 months and then continues on a simple 1-month rolling term at the same monthly price, with no new contract. If you ever decide to leave, just ask and we’ll transfer your website to you or your new provider.
Your new provider handles the move, and some third-party licences may need replacing. See our handover terms for the details.
