—Promises, in writing

Three plain commitments.

These aren't aspirations or marketing copy. They're the deal.

01 / 03
No setup fees. Ever.
What the pricing page says is what you pay. Your first month is the first month — no design retainer, no onboarding fee, no surprise invoice halfway through.
02 / 03
Cancel any time.
No notice period, no exit fee, no argument. Take your domain, your design files, and your content with you. And if it isn't working out in the first 30 days, we refund the build.
03 / 03
A human replies.
Email us any day, any time. You'll get a real person — not a ticket queue, not a chatbot. Response time depends on your plan.

01The lay of the land

Most small businesses get stuck with one of two bad options.

Do it yourself

Wix. Squarespace. WordPress. Great tools, if you also want to be the designer, the copywriter, and the IT department.

Compare us to Wix →

Hire an agency

Three months of meetings. A £4 000 invoice up front. A site that looks amazing at launch, then never gets touched again.

Compare us to an agency →

There's a third option.

Us. One monthly fee. Custom design. Real humans. Two-to-three weeks to live.

02What you get

What you actually get.

01 / 04

Found on Google.

Every site ships with the boring-but-necessary foundations — structured data, sitemaps, meta tags — so search engines understand what you do. We keep tuning it as you grow.

02 / 04

Fast and accessible.

Loads quickly on mobile data in London and Manchester. Built to WCAG 2.2 accessibility standards — usable by customers with screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, or reduced vision.

03 / 04

Always up, never down.

24/7 monitoring catches problems before you do. Hosted on infrastructure that absorbs traffic spikes without us touching a setting.

04 / 04

Never touch the tech.

Want to change your opening hours, add a new service, swap a photo? Email us. It's handled. You don't log into anything.

03How it works

Three steps.
That's the whole thing.

You didn't start your business to become a web developer. Digital Serpents is what we wished existed when we first sorted our own website — one monthly fee, no surprise invoices, a real person who replies.

—What people say

In their own words.

Anonymized by default. We don't pressure customers for testimonials in exchange for a working site — these are quotes we've been given permission to share.

Honestly, the part I was nervous about was the call. There wasn't one. They built it, my partner thought the colour scheme leaned too 'cabin', we got that sorted in a day. The phone rings. Six months later I'm still mostly forgetting it exists, which I think is the highest compliment I can give.
— Real-estate team · Wyoming
I'd quoted myself out of Wix after two months. Was about to just give up and run everything off Instagram. A friend told me about Digital Serpents — figured the price wouldn't bankrupt me. Was live in twelve days in five languages. They got my service names right which sounds small but everyone else has gotten them wrong.

Look, I'm not the kind of person who fills out forms or reads PDFs. I told them what we do. They sent a mockup. I asked for the contact button bigger. Done. Site's been up over a year — I haven't had to email them about anything tech once. They invoice, I pay, that's it.

05Questions people ask

The questions people actually ask.

Don't I need to get on a call with someone first?

Not unless you want to. Our guided brief is designed so you can sign up entirely online. If a rep is already helping you, they'll walk you through the same flow. If you get stuck mid-signup, drop us an email — no scheduled meetings.

How fast can I be live?

Typical launch: 2–3 weeks from the day you sign up.

Will it look like a template?

No. Every site is designed from your brief, in-house — not assembled from a theme. Your design reflects your business, not our catalogue. The design files are yours to keep if you ever leave.

What if I don't like the first design?

Then we change it. The 2–3 week build includes review and revision rounds; nothing goes live until you sign it off. If we can't land on something you're happy with before launch, you don't pay for the build.

Can't I just use Wix or Squarespace?

You can. You'll also be the designer, the copywriter, the IT support, and the SEO specialist. Our plans start at £15 a month — less than the time you'd spend maintaining it yourself.

In-depth: Wix alternative·In-depth: Squarespace alternative

What if my business changes after launch?

Email us. New service, new opening hours, new photo, new page — it's handled, as part of the monthly fee. You don't log into anything, and you don't pay per change. Bigger restructures are scoped before we touch them so there are no surprises.

What does 24/7 monitoring actually cover?

Uptime checks against your site, SSL certificate renewal, security patches, and managed hosting that absorbs traffic spikes. If something breaks, we get paged before you notice. Backups run automatically.

What if I want to leave?

Take everything with you. Your domain, your content, your site files. Cancel any time, no exit fee, no argument. There's also a 30-day money-back guarantee if you change your mind early.

What's actually included in the monthly fee?

There isn't one. No setup fee, no lock-in, no hidden costs. Every inclusion is on the pricing page.

Ready when you are.
