You deal directly with Ben, who designs and looks after your website. There are no call centres or chatbots, and UK-based support is available by ticket, email or phone.
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. We have local pages for London, Croydon, Enfield, Colchester, Leeds and Nottingham.
Yes. Once your first 12 months are paid, the website is yours, and because we build on WordPress, 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.
Your new provider handles the move, and some third-party licences may need replacing. See our handover terms for the details.
