After launch
Why your website needs looking after
Launching your site gets you on Google. Keeping it up to date is what keeps you near the top, where the calls come from.
Google keeps changing
Google updates how it ranks websites several times a year. Sites kept accurate, fast and useful tend to hold their place. Sites left alone tend to slip.
Competitors keep adding
Every new page, photo and review they add gives Google a reason to show them first. If your site hasn't changed in a year, theirs looks like the busier firm.
Customers check first
An old price, a missing service or tired photos make people wonder if you're still trading. Fresh, accurate pages win the call.
Small problems grow
Software goes out of date, links break and security fixes come out. Caught early they take minutes. Left alone they can take your site offline.
A year later, left alone
- The same pages as launch day
- A quiet Google Business Profile
- A slow drift down the search results
- Problems found by customers first
A year later, looked after
- New content and pages every month
- Regular Google posts, photos and reviews
- Keywords checked and pages improved
- Problems fixed before anyone notices

Own it or rent it
Pay once and own it, or rent it forever?
Pay-monthly trade websites look cheap on day one. Here's the five-year sum, done honestly.
Read the full comparison| Question | Typical pay-monthly site | WebWise, owned |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront | £0 to little | £1,500 fixed (Lead Generator) |
| Monthly | Typically £99 + VAT | £0 in year one, then £49 Care plan (optional) |
| Five-year total | £5,940 + VAT | £3,852 |
| Who owns the site | Usually the provider | You: domain, code, content |
| If you leave | The site usually goes | You take everything |
Pay-monthly figures are a typical market price for illustration, not any particular provider. Owned figures: £1,500 build, hosting and domain free for year one, then £49/mo for four years. Our Grow plan (£99/mo) adds monthly Google posts and content if you want them.
Pricing FAQ
Website cost questions, answered.
Straight answers on price, monthly fees, deposits and who owns the site.
Anything else? Ask on a free 15-minute call. You get a fixed quote before you pay a deposit.
01How much does a website cost for a tradesman?
Our fixed prices start at £950 for a five-page Starter site. The Lead Generator is £1,500, and the Full Local SEO package, with a page for each town you cover, is £2,500.
02How much does a website cost for a small business in the UK?
It depends on the size of the job. With us a simple five-page site is £950, a bigger site built to rank locally is £1,500 to £2,500, and web apps with logins and payments start from £6,000. You get the exact figure in writing after a 15-minute call.
03Are there any monthly fees?
No, the build is a one-off price, and hosting plus your domain are free for the first 12 months. After that, optional care plans from £49 to £249 a month cover hosting, updates and ongoing local SEO, and you can cancel any month.
04Do I need to keep updating my website after it's built?
If you want to keep ranking, yes. Google updates how it ranks websites several times a year, and your competitors keep adding pages, photos and reviews. Sites that are kept accurate and fresh tend to hold their place; sites left alone tend to slip. Our Grow, Local SEO and Area Leader plans do that work for you every month.
05Why has my website dropped down Google?
Usually one of three things: a Google ranking update, competitors adding newer and more useful content than you, or problems on your own site such as slow pages, broken links or out-of-date information. Regular updates, fresh local content and an active Google Business Profile are the steady fix.
06How much does website maintenance cost for a tradesman?
Our care plans are £49 a month for hosting, security, backups and small changes; £99 adds monthly Google posts and content updates; £149 adds active ranking work and a monthly report; and £249 adds four local articles and a new page every month. Hosting and your domain are free for the first 12 months.
07Can I change or cancel my care plan?
Yes. There's no long contract: you can move up, move down or cancel any month, and the website stays yours whatever you choose.
08Do I own my website?
Yes. The domain, the code and the content are all yours, with no licence fee. If you ever leave us, you take the whole site with you.
09Do I have to pay a deposit?
Yes, 30% up front. Once you've agreed your fixed quote, a 30% deposit books your build slot and we start work. The other 70% is due when your site is finished and you've signed it off, ready to go live.
10How long does it take to build?
About two weeks for most trade websites. Bigger sites and web apps take longer, and we agree your launch date before you pay anything.
