Questions
Frequently asked questions
How much does a website cost in Chelmsford?
Our fixed-price websites start at £1,295 for up to 5 pages. Silver is £2,495 for up to 12 pages with custom design and copywriting, Gold is £4,995 for a bespoke site or online shop, and Diamond starts at £6,500. You get the full price in writing before we start.
How long does a website take?
Most sites go live 7 to 14 days after sign-off: Bronze in 7 days, Silver in 10 and Gold in 14, as long as we have your logo, photos and approvals on time. AI handles the repetitive parts of the build, and Fay designs and checks every page.
Do you use AI to build websites?
Yes. AI coding lets us build in days rather than months, which keeps prices down. The design, the copy decisions and the final checks are done by a person: Fay reviews and tests every page before it goes live.
Will my site show up in Google and ChatGPT?
Every site includes local SEO set-up, structured data and clear answers that AI assistants can quote. Our SEO and AI search plans, from £295 a month, then build rankings month by month.
Can you redesign my site without losing rankings?
Yes. We map every old page to its new address and set up permanent redirects, so the rankings and links you have earned carry over. Redesigns start at £995.
Do I own my website?
Yes. Your domain, your content and your site belong to you. There is no lock-in and no long contract, and you can move it elsewhere at any time.
Do you work outside Essex?
Yes. Many clients are in London and across the UK. Most of the work happens online and by phone, and we are happy to meet in person across Essex and in London, 35 minutes from Liverpool Street.
