A professional website for start-ups and sole traders

Essential gives you a website designed for you, at our lowest monthly price. We build up to 5 pages, such as Home, About, Services, Gallery and Contact, from the words and photos you send us.

It suits one-person businesses and new companies that need to look established and be easy to contact. Think dog walkers, tutors, therapists, cleaners, consultants and trades.

Hosting, security, backups, a business email address and UK support are all included, so there is nothing else to buy or manage.
