Small business website design, built and looked after for you

We design and build fast, mobile-first websites for small businesses across the UK, set them up to be found on Google, then host and look after them for you.

What you get

Web design for small business, done properly

Built so customers can find you, see what you offer and get in touch or book.

Fast to load

Lean pages and properly sized images that open quickly, even on a patchy signal.

Mobile-first

Designed for phones first, where many customers will find you.

Easy to update

Change menus, prices or events yourself, or send the change to us.

Set up to be found on Google

Clear titles, structured data and a sitemap. Nobody can promise the top spot, but the basics will be in place.

Hosted and looked after

Hosting, updates, backups and security, handled for you.

Room to grow

Add bookings, member accounts, competitions or automation later, on the same site.

How it works

Website design and build in three steps

  1. Tell us what you need

    Email us about your business and what the site must do.

  2. We design and build it

    We design and build it around your business. You check it before it goes live.

  3. We look after it

    We host it, update it, back it up and make small changes when you need them.

Website design and maintenance, from one team

A website isn't finished on launch day. Software needs updating, opening hours change and Google keeps moving the goalposts.

With monthly care, someone always knows your site inside out. You email us, we sort it.

What monthly care covers

  • Hosting, set up and run for you
  • Updates to the software behind your site
  • Backups of your site
  • Security patches and fixes
  • Small changes to text, photos and prices
  • Support by email when you need it

How much does a website cost?

No two businesses need the same thing, so we don't publish one price. A five-page plumber's site is a very different job from a pub site that takes bookings.

What changes the price:

  • how many pages, and how much writing you want us to do
  • bookings, member accounts, payments or competitions
  • moving content across from an old site

Our websites are pay monthly: one simple monthly fee, so you know what's going out. Ask for a price and we'll set out what it covers.

Bespoke website design or a DIY builder?

Looking for a Wix alternative? Here's an honest view. Wix and Squarespace suit people who enjoy doing it themselves and need a few simple pages.

They struggle when the site must take bookings or run a competition, or when you haven't the evenings to keep it updated. That's when a bespoke website, looked after by us, earns its keep.

FAQ

Small business website questions

How much does a small business website cost in the UK?

It depends on what the site needs to do: a few simple pages is a smaller job than a site that takes bookings. We charge one simple monthly fee. Email info@abosdigital.com for a clear price.

Is a pay monthly website worth it?

Usually, if you know what you're paying for. It should cover hosting, updates, backups, security and help with changes. Whoever you choose, ask what happens to your domain and content if you ever move on.

Do I need a website if I already have Facebook and a Google listing?

Yes. Your own site can appear on Google for what you do, not just your name, and take bookings or enquiries directly. Facebook decides who sees your posts. On your website, you decide.

Can I update my own website after it is built?

Yes. We can give you a simple editor, like the one The Blue Bell uses for its menus, rooms and events. For anything else, email us: small changes are part of your monthly care.

Do you build websites for businesses anywhere in the UK?

Yes. We work with businesses across the whole UK, so it doesn't matter where you're based.
