Do you actually understand the music-industry side of things?

We've shipped sites for labels, studios, and producers — and we know the language of credits, splits, sync, masters, and the various PRO platforms. We're not promising music-industry consulting; we're saying we won't ask you to explain what a sync deal is before we can build a contact form for one.

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.

Can you handle the Manchester suburb naming — Withington vs West Didsbury, Levenshulme vs Burnage?

Yes, and we don't just stuff suburbs into title tags. Each suburb you serve gets its own copy section if it makes sense for the business — a Stockport-based trade with separate Cheadle and Hazel Grove catchments, or a Didsbury studio that draws members from Withington. The aim is genuinely useful content, not thin doorway pages.

What about Welsh, Polish, or Urdu — Greater Manchester has substantial non-English-speaking communities.

Multilingual sites are included at no additional charge. We've published in Polish, Welsh, Urdu, and Mandarin for businesses whose customers don't lead with English — particularly relevant for trades servicing Cheetham Hill, Rusholme, or Levenshulme catchments. We'll ship the languages that drive enquiries.

01Manchester context

What makes Manchester websites different from the rest of the UK.

Manchester's small-business mix has a flavour you don't see elsewhere — a media production company in Salford Quays, a record label in the Northern Quarter, a coffee roaster in Ancoats, a yoga studio in Didsbury, a trade in Stockport. The shared problem is that the city's reputation for music and creative work means clients expect more from a website than the average Greater Manchester business actually delivers.

Manchester agency rates have climbed sharply since MediaCityUK opened — a custom build in 2026 typically runs £5,000–£25,000 with a maintenance retainer on top. For an independent record label, a wedding photographer in Heaton Moor, or a barbershop in Chorlton, that price gates them out of the kind of website their clients now expect.

We replace the agency 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 punter checking a venue on the bus through Wigan as it does for a client reviewing it from a phone in Soho.

02Manchester use-cases

Three kinds of Manchester business we build sites for.

Media & music

Production houses, recording studios, and labels

A site that reads in the language of the industry — credits and reel pages that don't break on mobile, embedded showcase pieces from Vimeo and SoundCloud, contact forms that route by enquiry type (sync licensing vs commercial booking vs A&R), and proper SEO for the searches your clients actually use.

Northern Quarter & Ancoats independents

Shops, cafés, bars, and small-format hospitality

Photography-first product or menu pages that hold up next to your Instagram, opening hours that update without a developer call, a reservation or click-and-collect form, and a locality map for the visitor who's already on Oldham Street trying to find you.

Greater Manchester trades

Trades, services, and neighbourhood operators

Service-area pages that rank for 'electrician Stockport' and 'plumber Sale' without resorting to thin doorway templates, photo-led case-study galleries, a quote-request form with the photos-and-postcode flow you actually need, and Trustpilot or Checkatrade embeds where the social proof lives.
