Websites without the agency games

Most small businesses don't need a £5,000 website. They need something professionally built, properly set up for search, and maintained consistently — without a three-month project timeline, a vague brief process, and a final invoice that looks different from the estimate.

The UK web design industry has a pricing problem. Ask most agencies what a website costs and you'll get “it depends” — followed by a discovery process that ends in a number you weren't expecting. Scope creep is built into variable-fee models: every additional page, every revision, every “can you just…” moment becomes a negotiation. For small businesses that already have enough to manage, that's not a working relationship.

Fixed Web Studio operates on a different model. A single, transparent price to build your site. A predictable monthly plan that covers everything to keep it live, maintained, and improving in search. No surprises, no separate invoices for things you thought were included.

Who we work with

We work with UK small businesses — sole traders, tradespeople, local services, consultants, and early-stage companies — who need a professional website without the overhead of a full agency engagement. The businesses we're best suited to want a clean, fast site that explains what they do clearly, converts visitors into enquiries, and ranks for the right searches in their area. They want someone else to handle the technical side long-term — not a site handed over with a wave and a PDF of instructions.

We're not the right fit for every project. If you need a bespoke e-commerce platform, a complex web application, or a large enterprise site, there are better options. What we do, we do well: clear, fast, SEO-ready websites for businesses that want results without the complexity.

How we work

The process is short and direct. We ask enough questions to understand your business, your customers, and what the site needs to achieve. We build, you review, we refine. The site goes live within two to three weeks. After launch, the monthly plan keeps everything running — hosting, security, updates, and ongoing SEO — so the site improves rather than sitting still.

There's no long-term lock-in. The 3-month minimum gives us time to show the work produces results. After that, the plan runs monthly and can be cancelled with 30 days' notice.

On transparency

We're straightforward about what's included and what isn't. The pricing page lists it all. If something falls outside the scope of the plan, we'll tell you before starting work, not after. That's the model, and it doesn't change.
