How it works
Three steps. Your part is a short call and checking the draft.
A short call
We ask what you do, where you work and who you want to hear from. Twenty minutes or so. From that call we write the words for your pages.
We build it
Our Chester team designs and builds your pages. You look at the draft, tell us what to change, and we change it.
We aim to go live within 14 days
We put the site live, connect your domain and set up your Google Business Profile. After that you have 30 minutes of changes every month.
The terms, in plain English
No small print. This is the whole deal.
- Price
- £49.99 a month. £0 upfront. No VAT to add. Hand On Web is not VAT-registered.

- Your domain
- Registered in your name from day one. It is always yours, whatever happens.

Starter Website questions
Straight answers to what people ask us most.
What do I get for £49.99 a month?
Up to 5 pages designed and built by our Chester team. Hosting, an SSL certificate, daily backups and updates. Your own domain, registered in your name. Your Google Business Profile set up properly, basic local SEO, a contact form and a WhatsApp button. We write the words from a short call, and you get 30 minutes of changes every month. There is nothing to pay upfront. No VAT to add. Hand On Web is not VAT-registered.
Is there a minimum term?
Yes, 12 months. We do the design and build work before you have paid much, and the first year covers it. After that it is month to month with one month’s notice.
When does the website become mine?
After 24 months of payments it is yours. If you would rather own it sooner, you can buy it outright at any time for £495. Your domain is registered in your name from the start either way.
What if I am not happy with it?
You are covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee. Not happy within 30 days of your site going live? We refund everything you have paid and take the site down.
What is not included?
Extra pages, online shops and booking systems, logo and branding work, and looking after a site we did not build are all quoted separately. If you need a bigger site from the start, our Business Website starts from £2,500, and e-commerce and custom builds from £3,500.
How long does it take?
We aim to have your Starter Website live within 14 days of the kick-off call. The main thing that sets the pace is how quickly you can send photos and check the draft.
Do I have to write the words myself?
No. We write them for you from a short call about your business. You read them before anything goes live and tell us what to change.
Can I pay once instead of monthly?
Yes. The same 5-page site costs £995 as a one-off payment and is yours from day one. If you want us to host and look after it, hosting and care is £35 a month, month to month.
Ready to get your website live?
Tell us a bit about your business and we will book the short call. £49.99 a month, £0 upfront, and a 30-day money-back guarantee once it is live.
No VAT to add. Hand On Web is not VAT-registered.
