Limited release · One-page websites
A proper website. £495. Changed until you like it.
One page, designed and hand-written by one person in England. Not a template, not a page builder, not a junior. Revised as many times as it takes, for a price that does not move.
A one-page website from Werehouse Media costs £495, fixed, including the copywriting, the build, the contact form and launch on your own domain. Cheap web design in the UK usually means one of three things: a template filled in by someone offshore, a page builder subscription you can never stop paying, or a student. This is none of those. It is genuinely inexpensive for one reason only, which is that the scope is fixed at a single page, so the uncertainty that makes websites expensive has been removed rather than the care. Revisions are unlimited in number until sign-off, the price does not move afterwards, and the domain, code and accounts are in your name from the start with no monthly fee required to keep the site online. It suits a business with one main service in one main area. A business needing several services or several towns needs a multi-page build, which starts at £995, and being told that honestly on the first call is part of the offer.
Ten builds, then this page comes down.
Ten of these run alongside full projects before the queue is full, and the release closes on 30 September 2026. That is the actual constraint, not a sales device: there is one person here, and a build that is properly looked after cannot be stacked infinitely. When they are gone, they are gone, and the date does not quietly move.
Fixed at £495. No top-up invoice, no monthly fee to keep it online, and you own everything at the end.
What £495 buys
Everything a small business actually needs on day one.
- A single page, designed around what you sell. Not a theme with your logo dropped in. The section order is chosen for your business, because the order is most of what decides whether someone enquires.
- The words written for you. You fill in a short questionnaire in plain English. I write the page from it. Most people find this the part they were dreading, so it is included rather than left to you.
- Built properly, by hand. Hand-written HTML, CSS and JavaScript. No page builder deciding your layout, no plugin stack quietly breaking in eight months.
- Fast, and correct on a phone. Designed at phone size first, because that is where most of your visitors are. Checked on real devices before it goes live.
- A contact form that reaches you. Wired to your inbox and tested with a real submission before launch, which is more than a surprising number of live sites can say.
- Google groundwork. Title and description written properly, structured data, a sitemap, and your Google Business Profile pointed at the new site. The foundations, done once, done right.
- Launched on your own domain. In your name, on your accounts.
What you do not get is a bill afterwards. The £495 is the price. There is no hosting requirement, no mandatory care plan and no licence fee. Hosting from £9 a month and website care from £49 a month exist if you want them, and the site works perfectly well without either.
Who it is for
If you sell one main thing, this is built for you.
The businesses this fits best are the ones where a customer already knows roughly what they want and is deciding who to trust with it. That covers a lot of ground, and deliberately so.
- Trades and home services. Plumbers, electricians, builders, roofers, plasterers, gardeners, cleaners, removals, locksmiths. Usually competing on how quickly you look reliable.
- Personal services. Barbers, salons, nail technicians, dog groomers, personal trainers, driving instructors, tutors. Bookings tend to follow whoever looks established.
- Professional and advisory. Consultants, bookkeepers, accountants, coaches, therapists, surveyors, photographers. The site is doing the job a brochure and a reputation used to do.
- Food, makers and small retail. Cafes, caterers, food trucks, bakers, florists, furniture makers. Often driving people to an existing Instagram or a phone number rather than a checkout.
- Clinics and small practices. Dental, physio, chiropractic, aesthetics, veterinary. Where looking careful and legitimate matters more than looking clever.
- Anyone starting out. New businesses that need to exist properly online before spending real money on anything else.
What all of those have in common is a single clear offer and a local or word-of-mouth market. If that is you, one well-built page will out-perform five badly-built ones, because the visitor only ever needed answering on three things: what you do, whether you are any good, and how to reach you.
The honest bit
Why is it only £495?
Because it is a smaller product, not cheaper work. That distinction matters, and most of the industry blurs it.
A one-page site has a fixed shape. The page count cannot creep, the structure is one I have built many times, and the questionnaire does the job a discovery process would normally do over several calls. Almost everything that makes a website expensive is the uncertainty at the front, and this offer removes it by drawing a hard edge around the scope. That is the entire reason the number can be this low without the quality dropping.
The rest of what I do is priced differently and openly. Multi-page builds start at £995 and go up with complexity, because they involve choices this one does not. If, on the call, it turns out you need that instead, I will say so rather than squeeze a five-page business into one page to keep the sale. Getting that wrong costs you more than the difference.
| This is right for you if | You want a full build if |
|---|---|
| One main service, one main area | Several services, or several towns to rank in |
| You need to look credible now | You need to rank across a range of searches |
| Enquiries by phone, email or form | Online payment, booking or a shop |
| You have no site, or one that embarrasses you | You have a site with traffic worth protecting |
| You want it live in weeks | You want a considered brand and a bigger structure |
The real comparison
What about Wix, Squarespace or a £90 job on Fiverr?
This is the comparison almost everyone at this price is actually running, so it deserves a straight answer rather than a sales one. All three are legitimate choices in the right circumstances, and there are cases where I would tell you to take one of them over this.
The website builders, Wix and Squarespace, are genuinely capable and you can get something respectable out of them. Two things are worth knowing before you commit. The subscription never ends, so at roughly £16 to £25 a month you have spent more than £495 somewhere between the second and third year and you still stop owning it the moment you stop paying. And the design is only as good as the hours you personally put in, which for most business owners means several weekends and a result that looks like the template it came from.
The very cheap freelance marketplaces get you a page for under a hundred pounds. Usually it is the same template resold, written in English that is nearly right, with a contact form nobody tested. The real cost shows up later when you cannot get hold of the person to change a phone number.
What you are buying here instead is a fixed one-off price, one named person in England who answers their own email, words written for your business rather than filled into a template, and outright ownership with nothing to keep paying. That is the whole pitch, and it is worth exactly what it is worth to you.
| This | Wix / Squarespace | Marketplace freelancer | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up front | £495 once | Low, then forever | £50 to £150 |
| Cost after 3 years | £495 | Roughly £600 to £900 and counting | Often a rebuild |
| Who designs it | Ed, in England | You, at a weekend | Unclear, usually offshore |
| Who writes it | Included | You | You, or a translation |
| If you stop paying | Stays online | Comes down | Stays, if you can edit it |
| Revisions | Unlimited until sign-off | Endless, all yours | Typically one or two |
| Someone to call | Yes, the builder | Support ticket | Rarely, after delivery |
The genuinely honest caveat: if your budget is under £200 and it has to be this month, take Squarespace and do it yourself. I would rather say that than take money from someone who cannot spare it. If you can stretch to £495 once, you end up with something better that you own forever, and you get your weekends back.
Revisions
Unlimited, and here is exactly where the edge is.
Unlimited revisions is a phrase that gets used loosely, so here is what it means here, in the same words I will use if we ever disagree about it.
Unlimited rounds. Change the headline, the wording, the colours, the photographs, the order of the sections, the spacing, the buttons. Ask ten times. There is no per-round charge and no point at which I start counting, and the site does not go live until you are happy to put your name on it.
Not unlimited scope. It stays one page. Turning it into five pages, adding a shop, a booking system or a members' area, or scrapping an approved design to start again on a different concept, are different jobs. If you want any of those, good, I will quote them plainly and you can decide. What I will not do is let the word unlimited mean I quietly absorb a second project, because that ends with a resentful supplier, and you can feel that in the work.
That boundary is written into the terms rather than left as a matter of goodwill, which protects both of us.
How it runs
Four steps, about two to three weeks.
- A short call. Fifteen minutes. What you sell, who buys it, and whether this is genuinely the right thing for you. If it is not, I will tell you on this call, before any money changes hands.
- The questionnaire. Plain questions about your business, plus any photos and your logo if you have one. Half an hour of your time. This is the only real homework.
- The first draft. A private link to the real thing, working, on a phone and on a desktop. Then the revisions, for as long as they take.
- Launch. Live on your domain, form tested, Google groundwork in place, everything in your name. Thirty days of fixes afterwards, included.
Payment is half to book the slot and half on the day it goes live. Not a penny more than £495 in total.
Straight answers
The things people ask before they commit.
For one service in one town, often yes. A well-structured single page plus a properly filled Google Business Profile competes perfectly well for local searches, and the profile is usually doing more of that work than people realise. For several services across several towns it is not enough, because ranking needs a page per intent, and that is a multi-page build. I will tell you which of those you are on the call.
Then we change it, at no extra cost, as many times as needed. That is the whole point of the unlimited revisions. The only thing that is not covered is abandoning an approved direction to start again on a different concept, which is a new job rather than a revision.
Outright. The domain, the code and every account are in your name from the start. No licence, no lock-in, and nothing you have to keep paying to keep the site online. If you never speak to me again, it keeps working.
Ed, and only Ed. There is no team, no account manager and nothing sent offshore. The person you speak to on the call is the person writing the code. There is more about that here, and a fair amount of writing that will tell you quickly whether I know what I am talking about.
This page comes down, or the terms change and say so plainly. The limit is real rather than decorative: it exists because these run alongside full projects, and one person can only give a fixed number of them proper attention at once. The closing date does not get quietly pushed back while still being described as a last chance. If you miss it, the ordinary published prices still apply and I will still be straight with you about what you need.
Yes, and plenty do. The page is built on the same stack as every other site here, so it extends into a multi-page build rather than being thrown away. You are not paying twice for the same groundwork.
For a small UK business in 2026, a one-page site runs roughly £400 to £900, a standard multi-page brochure site £1,000 to £4,000, and anything with a shop, booking or custom functionality £4,000 upwards. Below about £300 you are almost always buying a resold template. Above about £10,000 you are buying a team, which is right for some businesses and wasted on most. The full breakdown is here, with what actually drives the number.
Two to three weeks is typical, and most of that is waiting on you rather than on me. Once the questionnaire comes back the first draft follows within a few days. The revisions decide the rest, and since they are unlimited, the timeline is genuinely in your hands. It can be quicker if you need it to be.
No, and this is the part people are most relieved about. You answer a short questionnaire in plain English, in your own words, and I write the page from it. If you have photographs, send them. If you do not, we will work out what to do about that on the call rather than filling the page with stock images of handshakes.
Sometimes, and it is worth knowing why. If you need a shop, a booking system or several pages to rank properly, one page will not do it and I will say so on the first call. If your budget is genuinely under £200, I will point you at a builder and tell you how to use it well. Taking money for the wrong thing is how you end up with a bad review you deserved.
