Projects & Services
Quotes, deposits, logo design and bigger projects.
Are there monthly costs with Business Launch?
The setup is a one-off price. Everything is set up in your name, so the running costs — servers, phone line, domain and backup storage, usually around £15–£30 a month — are paid by you directly to the providers.
Ongoing management (updates, security fixes, backup checks and monitoring) is optional from £50 a month, and strongly recommended for the phone system and email server.
Do I need to pay a deposit?
Yes — quoted projects need a 50% deposit before work starts, with the balance due on completion, before final handover.
How do quotes work for larger projects?
Book an Hour is fixed-price. Anything bigger is quoted based on scope.
Send an enquiry via the Contact page with what you need, your budget and your timeline, and I'll reply with a clear quote before any work starts. Starting prices are shown on each service page.
Is there anything you don't do?
Yes — so you know exactly what you're hiring, I don't offer SEO, Google Ads, social media management or marketing strategy.
What does Business Launch include?
Business Launch (from £1,500 one-off) includes:
- Server 1 — Web & Email: your custom website and email on your own domain (Mailu)
- Server 2 — Phone: a separate, secured business phone system (FreePBX) with hold music and a number of your choice
- a custom logo, graphics and brand guide
- policy templates (privacy, terms and cookies)
- a step-by-step guide to registering your company with Companies House and HMRC
- nightly off-server backups
Policy templates and the registration guide are general guidance, not legal or financial advice.
Optional extras: a written business plan (from £300) and a third server to keep email and website separate (from £100).
What's included in logo design?
Logo & Favicon Design starts from £50 and includes:
- 2 initial concepts
- 2 rounds of revisions
- a matching favicon (the small icon in browser tabs)
- social media icons
- web-ready PNG and SVG files
What's the difference between TradeSitesPro and Business Launch?
- TradeSitesPro (£19.99/month): a ready-made website with domain and hosting — ideal for tradespeople who just need to be found online.
- Business Launch (from £1,500 one-off): a full custom business setup — a custom website and own-domain email, a separate business phone system, logo and branding, policy templates and a company registration guide, all set up in your name.
Why two servers instead of three?
Your phone system runs on its own server for security and call quality. Your website and email share a second server, kept separate from each other in their own containers — this is plenty for most small businesses and keeps your running costs down.
If you have lots of staff mailboxes or a busy website such as an online shop, a third server can be added to separate email and website (from £100).
