Most people who find a local business find it on a phone, in a hurry, comparing two or three options. The website that wins is the one that loads fast, looks trustworthy straight away and makes the next step obvious: call, book, order or ask for a quote. Every Highkept website is built around that one action.

We design each site for the business it belongs to. A barber needs a booking button and a gallery; a plumber needs a big call button and the areas they cover; a takeaway needs a menu that can be changed in a minute. You can see how this works for your trade on the who we help pages.

You do not need to write anything to start. You answer a few questions in the quote form, we write the first draft of the words with you, and you see a first version within days. Most sites are live within 1–2 weeks of the first call, once we have your photos and details.

Every site is set up for Google from the start: proper page titles, fast loading, your Google Business Profile linked, and Google Analytics connected so you can see what is working. You own the design and the content. If you ever leave, we hand everything over.

After launch, you choose what happens next. Host it yourself, or take one of our monthly plans, from hosting only to a fully managed plan where we keep your offers, menus, photos and Google posts up to date for you.

What every website includes

Every website we build is designed for your business, works properly on a phone, and is set up so people can get in touch the moment they decide to. The packages differ in how many pages you get and what extra features come with them, not in how carefully they are built.

The Starter website at £499 covers up to 4 pages with a contact form, a map and Google basics. The Professional website at £999 covers up to 8 pages with a premium design, enquiry forms and Google Analytics. Business growth at £1,799 covers up to 12 pages, online bookings, your Google Business Profile linked, and your own dashboard. Anything bigger is quoted at a fixed price.

  • A design made for your business, in your colours
  • Built for phones first, and tested on them
  • A clear main action on every page: call, book, order or ask for a quote
  • Contact or enquiry forms, with spam filtering
  • Page titles and descriptions written for Google
  • Readable text and good contrast, so the site is easy for everyone to use

How we write the words

Most owners find writing about their own business the hardest part. You do not have to start with a blank page. You answer a few questions in the quote form and on a short call, and we write the first draft of every page from your answers.

We write the way your customers speak, not the way businesses describe themselves. That means plain answers to the questions people actually have: what you do, where you work, what it costs, how long it takes and how to get started. You read every page, change anything that does not sound like you, and approve it before it goes live.

Copywriting covers the pages in your package. If you want extra pages written later, such as a page for each area you cover, we price them before we start.

Speed and Google

People leave slow websites, and Google notices. Our standard sites are built without WordPress or plugins, so there is less to load and less to go wrong. Pages are kept light, images are sized for phones, and the site is set up so Google can read it properly.

We set up the basics that help you get found: page titles and descriptions, your Google Business Profile linked, and Google Analytics connected so you can see where visitors come from. If you serve particular areas, pages for each one help local people find you, which is how many of our trade pages are built.

No honest studio can promise you first place on Google. What we can do is build a site that gives Google everything it needs and gives visitors a reason to get in touch. If you want to be seen faster, local search ads can put you at the top of results while the website earns its place.

Your own dashboard

Your own dashboard comes with the Business growth package. It is a private login, protected by a one-time code, where you can update things that change often, such as prices, menus, opening hours, photos and offers, from your phone.

On the Starter and Professional packages, there is no dashboard. Changes are made by us instead: just send us a message. The Care plan includes small changes each month, and the Fully managed plan includes us keeping your offers, menus, photos and prices up to date for you. A dashboard can also be added to a smaller package later, at a quoted price.

What happens after launch

If anything we built does not work as it should in the first 30 days after launch, we fix it free. After that, you choose how much help you want.

With no plan, we hand the site over for you to host yourself. The Hosting plan at £19 a month keeps it online, secure and backed up. Care at £49 a month adds updates, fixes, small changes each month and a monthly report. Fully managed at £199 a month means we run it for you, including seasonal updates, new photos and prices, Google Business posts and review replies.

Every plan has no minimum term and 30 days' notice. Your site, files and domain stay yours, and if you leave, we help you move.

Websites: questions people ask

How much does a website cost?
Our websites are £499 for up to 4 pages, £999 for up to 8 pages with a premium design, and £1,799 for up to 12 pages with online bookings and your own dashboard. Bigger projects are quoted.
How long does a website take?
Most websites are live within 1–2 weeks of the first call, once we have your photos and details.
Do you write the words?
Yes. We write the first draft with you from your answers, and you approve every page before it goes live.
Will it work on phones?
Yes. Every site is designed for phones first, because that is where most local customers find you.
Can you redesign the website I already have?
Yes. We look at what your current site does well and what it does not, keep anything worth keeping, and rebuild the rest. Your domain stays the same, and we set things up so people following old links still land in the right place.
Can I keep my domain name?
Yes. You keep the domain you already own. We connect the new site to it when we launch. If you do not have one yet, we can help you choose and set one up.
What do you need from me to get started?
Answers to a few questions about your business, your logo if you have one, and any photos you would like to use. If you do not have photos yet, tell us and we will talk through options. We write the words with you.
Do you guarantee first place on Google?
No, and be wary of anyone who does. We build every site so Google can read it properly and visitors have a reason to get in touch. Where you rank also depends on your competitors, your reviews and how long your business has been online.
Can I add pages or features later?
Yes. Extra pages, a gallery, a new booking type or a dashboard can be added at any time. We give you a fixed price before we start.
Do I get to see the site before it goes live?
Yes. You see a first version, usually within days of the first call, and two full rounds of changes are included before launch. Half is paid to start and the rest only when you have approved the site.

Tell us about your business. We'll send a fixed price.

Two minutes to fill in. You'll see a first look at your website straight away, and we reply the same working day.
