Your Own Portfolio Website & Professional Email

You don't need any technical skills at all. That's the whole point of our done-for-you service. You fill in a 5-minute form telling us your name, what you do, and a short bio. We handle the entire build — domain registration, website design, email setup, DNS configuration, SSL, hosting, everything. You don't touch a single line of code.

We handle the entire process. When you sign up, we register your chosen domain (like yourname.com), configure the DNS records for email delivery, and set up your professional email address. You'll receive login credentials and simple instructions for adding it to your phone and computer. The whole domain name and email setup is included in the £79 price.

It's included in our service — we set it up for you. You'll get a professional email address like you@yourname.com or hello@yourbusiness.com. It works like any normal email: send, receive, attachments, everything. You can access it on your phone via Gmail app, Outlook, or Apple Mail, on your computer via any email client, or through webmail in your browser.

Absolutely. Your email address with own domain works on any device you own. Add it to the Gmail app, Outlook app, or Apple Mail on your iPhone or Android. Set it up on your computer using Outlook, Thunderbird, or Mac Mail. Or access it via webmail from any browser, anywhere. We send you step-by-step setup guides for every platform, and we're happy to help if you get stuck.

With Hand On Web, it's £79 for setup plus £1.99/month or £19.99/year for ongoing hosting, domain renewal, and email. That includes everything — domain registration, website design, professional email, SSL, hosting. Compare that to Wix at £13-33/mo, Squarespace at £12-33/mo, or a freelancer at £300-500+.

A personal website is increasingly important for job seekers. It lets you showcase your portfolio, link to projects, and present a professional image beyond a basic CV. Having yourname.com on your CV helps you stand out. If a hiring manager looks you up, a clean personal portfolio website is far better than an outdated profile or nothing at all.

A strong portfolio website typically includes: a brief "About Me" section, your key skills or services, examples of your work or projects, your education and experience highlights, and a clear way to contact you. For creatives, it's your best work samples. For graduates, it's your degree, relevant projects, and internships. We help you structure all of this during the setup process.

Everyone starts somewhere. Even with limited experience, you can include university projects, volunteer work, personal projects, coursework, certifications, and skills. A clean personal portfolio website with a professional email address shows initiative and professionalism — which is exactly what employers want to see from graduates and early-career professionals.

Adding yourname.com and you@yourname.com to your CV immediately looks more professional than a Gmail address and no web presence. It shows you've invested in your personal brand. Employers and recruiters notice these details.

It's much better than Linktree. Instead of a generic link-in-bio page on someone else's domain, you get your own domain (yourname.com), a professionally designed one page website, and a professional email address. It's your own online business card that you fully control. No Linktree branding, no limitations, and it looks infinitely more professional.

Our service is perfect for creating a portfolio for university. Whether you need to showcase coursework, research projects, design work, or creative pieces, we build a clean digital portfolio on your own domain. Some courses encourage students to keep an online portfolio. Having yours at yourname.com looks far better than a Google Sites page or university subdomain.

We set it up for you as part of the service. You choose your domain (like yourname.com), we register it and configure everything, and you get a professional email like hello@yourname.com. You can set it up on as many devices as you want — phone, laptop, tablet. It works exactly like Gmail or Outlook, but with your own name on every email you send.

The technical process involves registering a domain, configuring MX records, setting up SPF/DKIM/DMARC for deliverability, and creating your mailbox. Sounds complicated? That's because it is — which is why we do it all for you. You just tell us what domain and email address you want, and we handle the entire setup. Your email address with own domain is ready within 48 hours.

No hidden costs whatsoever. £79 is the one-off setup fee that covers domain registration, website design and build, professional email setup, DNS configuration, and SSL certificate installation. After that, it's £1.99/month or £19.99/year for ongoing hosting, domain renewal, and email service. That's it. Everything is included — cheap website design UK without cutting corners.

Three key differences: First, you don't build anything — we do it for you in 48 hours. Wix and Squarespace require hours of your time dragging and dropping. Second, professional email is included in our price. Wix charges extra and Squarespace routes you to Google Workspace. Third, our total cost is dramatically lower: £1.99/mo vs £13-33/mo. We're the "make me a website" option for people who value their time.

Yes — monthly updates are included in your plan. Just send us an email or message with what you want changed: new photo, different text, an extra project, updated contact details. We'll update your portfolio within 48 hours. You can also request a regular update schedule — for example, once a month on a set date. For bigger changes like a full redesign or adding new sections, we'll quote separately, but day-to-day updates are always included.

If you cancel, the domain is yours to keep — we can transfer it to your control. The website hosting and email service would stop at the end of your billing period. We don't hold anything hostage. You own your domain name, and we make the transfer process straightforward.

Absolutely. Our one page website design is excellent for photography portfolios, design portfolios, and any visual creative work. We create a gallery-style layout that showcases your images beautifully on any device. Combined with yourname.com as the domain, it's a far more professional photography portfolio than social media or free portfolio sites.

Our service works perfectly for small businesses too. Instead of yourname.com, we register yourbusiness.com and set up professional email addresses like info@yourbusiness.com, hello@yourbusiness.com, or any address you choose. Combined with a simple one-page business website, it gives your business instant credibility — affordable web design UK for small businesses.

Creating an online portfolio from scratch normally involves choosing a platform, picking a template, writing content, sourcing images, registering a domain, pointing DNS, setting up hosting, and configuring SSL. It can take many hours. Our done-for-you service means you skip all of that. Fill in a 5-minute form and we create a portfolio website for you — and we aim to have it live within 48 hours, hosted and secured.
