A small business website should explain what you do in seconds, show proof that you do it well, make it easy to get in touch and load quickly on a phone. That’s exactly what we build for small service businesses, wherever you’re based. Your site is built on WordPress and Elementor, so you own it and your team can edit it. We host and look after it for the first three months, and you can choose to stay with us after that.

Who it’s for
Most small businesses come to us at one of these points. If one sounds like you, we can help you plan the right website.
Starting point 01
You need a professional website in place before your first customers look you up, without paying for features you don’t need yet.
Starting point 02
A website builder got you online, but now it’s hard to rank on Google, fiddly to change and no longer reflects how your business has grown.
Starting point 03
People find your site but few contact you. Your services, reviews or contact details may be hard to find, especially on a phone.
Starting point 04
You’d like to update prices, add a service or post news without waiting on a developer.
Choose your type
Pick the type of website that fits where your business is now. Pages, branding, SEO and content then shape the price.
Best for launching quickly or testing a new idea.
A fast route to a professional site, built from a proven Elementor layout and adapted to your brand.
Best for an established business replacing an outdated or off-brand site.
Designed from scratch around your customers and the enquiries you want to win, with page mockups before the build.
Best for selling a focused range of products online.
A WordPress shop for a focused range of products, with the same design, speed and SEO standards as every Nivo website.
Fixed price
in writing
Your price is fixed in writing after the free discovery call, before any work begins. You can pay in one payment, two payments or monthly.
Included as standard
Whichever type of website you choose, you get the same essentials, so you know exactly what’s included before your price is agreed. If you run a trade business, such as an electrician, plumber or builder, see what we include in web design for tradespeople.

No lock-in
Your website is built on WordPress, so you own it outright. You’re not tied to a website builder’s monthly plan, and your team can edit pages in Elementor without code. We host and look after your site for the first three months. After that, you can stay with us on a care plan or move your hosting elsewhere.
How it works
Most small business websites take four to eight weeks from kick-off to launch, depending on the number of pages and how quickly content is approved.
You tell us about your business, your customers and what you want the website to do. You then get a written proposal with a fixed price and timeline.
You review and approve the page designs and copy before the build starts.
Your approved designs are built in Elementor, then checked against our 89-point QA checklist for speed, mobile and SEO.
Your website goes live and your team gets a 60-minute training session, so you’re ready to update it from day one.

Questions
How much does a small business website cost?
The cost of small business web design depends on the type of site, the number of pages, your branding, the level of SEO and who writes the content. We confirm a fixed price in writing after the free discovery call. For a rough figure now, try our website cost calculator, or compare our website packages and pricing.
How long does a small business website take to build?
Most new websites take four to eight weeks from kick-off to launch. The timeline depends on how complex the site is and how quickly content is approved.
Can I pay monthly?
Yes. You can pay for your website in one payment, in two payments, or monthly.
Do I own the website?
Yes. You own your website and domain outright. It’s built on WordPress, and your team can edit it in Elementor.
Can you write the content?
Yes. You can supply your own copy, choose AI-assisted copy with free stock images, or have a professional copywriter and illustrator create it.
What happens after launch?
Every website includes three months' hosting and maintenance and a 60-minute training session. After that, you can move onto one of our website care plans.
Can you move my website from Wix or Squarespace?
Yes. We rebuild your site on WordPress and Elementor, carry over your content and set up redirects so you keep the search visibility you’ve built. Abney & Baker moved their home care website from Squarespace to WordPress with us.
Will my website show up on Google?
Every small business website includes SEO set-up, an SEO audit and indexing before launch, so Google can find and understand your pages. Rankings depend on your competition and ongoing work, so no agency can guarantee them.
What if my business grows?
Your WordPress site grows with you. You can add pages, services, locations or a shop later, without starting again on a new platform.
