01London context

Why London independents struggle to win on their own websites.

London's small-business mix is the densest in the UK — a chambers in Bedford Row, a Korean BBQ in New Malden, a vintage shop on Lower Marsh, a yoga studio off Broadway Market. The shared problem is that London visitors come from everywhere — local Londoners on the Tube, day-trippers from the Home Counties, international clients from Riyadh or Sydney — and most independent sites are still built for one of those audiences only.

London agency rates have outpaced the rest of the UK by a significant margin — a custom build in 2026 typically runs £8,000–£45,000 with a maintenance retainer on top. For a three-partner firm in Holborn or a single-location restaurant in Borough, that's the price of a junior associate or a year's worth of new equipment; the website has to compete for that budget against tangible business inputs.

We replace the agency-and-WordPress dilemma with a fixed monthly pound price. Design, hosting on a global edge network, your .co.uk or .uk domain, ongoing content updates, and UK-GDPR-aware data handling are all in one bill — and the site loads as fast for a Streatham local on EE 4G as it does for a partner reviewing it from a hotel in Dubai.

02London use-cases

Three kinds of London business we build sites for.

Professional services

Chambers, consultancies, and boutique firms

A clean partner-led site with proper bios, sector or practice-area pages, an enquiry intake form that routes by matter type, and UK-GDPR-aware data handling — so a prospective client reading your name in the FT lands somewhere that confirms what they expected, not a WordPress theme from 2014.

Restaurants & hospitality

Single-location restaurants, wine bars, and event spaces

Tablet-readable menus that update in seconds, a reservation form (or OpenTable / Sevenrooms embed if you already use one), photography that survives a phone screen, private-hire copy that talks to corporate buyers, and the bilingual option for tourist-heavy locations like Covent Garden or South Kensington.

Independent retail & fitness

Boutiques, studios, and neighbourhood operators

Shop pages or class-schedule pages that read in seconds on a phone, Stripe or GoCardless for memberships and class packs, a local-postcode delivery zone for retail, and Instagram-shop-style product imagery that holds up next to the big names on Bond Street or in Marylebone.

03Local proof

Pricing, payments, and compliance in pounds and UK law.

Starter, monthly

£15fixed

Same monthly price across every London postcode — no hidden hosting charges, no add-on fees for SSL, content updates, or the .co.uk renewal.

Stripe · Worldpay · GoCardless · PayPal · Opayo

Either supported out of the box — connect existing Stripe or GoCardless accounts, or open new ones with our help during onboarding. Apple Pay and Google Pay enabled by default.

Compliance

UK GDPR · PECR cookie law · Companies House signposting

Cookie banner configured for ICO guidance, a privacy policy template aligned to your sector, and a privacy-by-default analytics setup that doesn't ship visitor data to ad networks unless you opt in.

04Common London questions

Questions London clients ask before signing.

Do you register the .co.uk or .uk domain, or do I bring my own?
Either works. We register and renew a .co.uk or .uk for you on signup, or we connect an existing domain registered through 123-reg, GoDaddy, a Nominet-accredited registrar, or any other provider — at no extra cost.
How does VAT work on the monthly fee?
We invoice in GBP from our Georgian entity; UK VAT is not charged on the subscription itself under current B2B place-of-supply rules. Your accountant gets VAT-compliant invoices for reverse-charge treatment where applicable. Sole traders under the threshold pay the headline price flat.
What about a London-specific privacy regime — UK GDPR vs EU GDPR?
Your cookie banner and privacy policy are configured to UK GDPR plus PECR (the post-Brexit regime that the ICO enforces). If you also serve EU customers, we can layer EU-GDPR-aligned disclosures on top — same site, same setup, no extra build cost.
Can you handle bilingual sites for an international London audience?
Yes — second and third languages are included at no additional charge. For sites that serve Gulf clients, central-European tourists, or a Chinese-speaking professional community, we'll publish in the languages that actually drive bookings or enquiries rather than charging per locale.
