What you get

  1. We build it. Custom-designed around your business and your trade, not a template with your logo dropped in. Built on WordPress by us, and live only once you have approved it.
  2. We host it. Managed hosting, your domain name, SSL, security and regular backups. Nothing for you to set up, renew or remember.
  3. We look after it. Updates, maintenance, support and reasonable small changes. Ask, and we do it, from your Client Platform.

Most web design companies do the first line and hand you the rest. Everything the plan includes

Why it matters

Someone gets your name from a friend. Before they call, they look you up.

That moment decides whether a recommendation turns into a job. A professional website shows them what they need to see, and it does it while you are on a job, in the van, or asleep.

  • What you doYour services, clearly, in the words your customers use.
  • Where you workThe areas you cover, so the right people get in touch.
  • What your work looks likeRecent jobs and your own photographs, not a stock picture of somebody else’s.
  • How to reach youA number that rings your phone, and a form that reaches it too.

Designed to look the part, and built to make the next enquiry easier to say yes to.

Built around your business

A builder’s website should not work like an accountant’s.

We design around your industry, your services and what your customers need to see before they get in touch. The plan and the price are the same for every kind of business. The website is not.

84 kinds of small business across ten categories, from trades and garden work to salons, clinics and professional practices. Each gets a website structure designed for how its customers choose.

The websites

Custom-designed, not a template.

Every PrimeStart website is designed around one business: its services, its area and the enquiries it actually wants. The plan is the same for a plumber and an accountant. The website never is.

  • The Copper Larder Restaurants Ludlow

  • Saltbrook Hair Hair Salons Brighton

Example businesses, designed to show the standard we build to. Not named customers.

How it works

Four steps. You do two of them.

Choose a plan and tell us about your business. We check we have what we need, build the website, and show it to you before anyone else sees it. Nothing goes live until you have approved it.

You see it first. The first-draft target is five working days from the moment your project is Ready to Build, which is when we have what we need from you, not the moment you pay. Then the Pre-Launch Design Promise: reasonable changes before launch, and nothing goes live until you approve it.

  • Message PrimeStart directly
  • Send information and files
  • Request changes, before and after launch
  • Approve the website before it goes live

More about the Client Platform

Website + SEO

Want more customers to find you on Google?

Every day, people near you search Google for a plumber, a gardener, an electrician, a garage. Website + SEO is the same managed website, plus PrimeStart working every month on how easily those searches find you: the searches people type when they need what you do, the listing they ring from, and the pages they land on. It is not instant and nobody can guarantee a position, but done properly, month after month, it can become a source of customers you are not paying for click by click.

  • garden maintenance muswell hill
  • hedge cutting crouch end

An example for a gardener in Muswell Hill. We research your market and agree three searches with you before any work starts.

What the monthly work covers

Your Google Business Profile
Set up where you do not have one. Categories, services, hours and photographs kept right.
Local listings
Your name, number and address consistent everywhere Google looks.
Your website
Monthly improvements to the pages that matter for your three searches.
Tracking and the report
Where you stand on each search, what we did and what comes next, once a month.
Genuine reviews
A sensible process for asking real customers. Never bought, never written for you.

SEO never promises a position, a number of leads or a revenue figure. It promises the work, done properly, every month.

Start Website + SEO How SEO works

Choose your plan

Two plans. It starts with whether you want SEO from day one.

Both are pay monthly, with no design invoice at the start and one figure that covers everything. Website is a professional managed website on its own. Website + SEO is the same website, with PrimeStart also working every month on how easily local customers find it.

Every term, side by side, on the pricing page. Nothing is added to your bill without telling you first.

What happens after 18 months

Eighteen payments, then the website is yours.

You are not renting a page that vanishes when you leave. The question most people are too polite to ask is “what happens if I go?”, so here is the whole answer, in order.

  1. Month 1We design and build it

    Your first monthly payment is taken at signup. We build the website around your business and you approve it before anything is published.

  2. Months 1 to 18We host, manage and support it

    Hosting, security, backups, updates and reasonable small changes, for 18 monthly payments.

  3. After month 18The website is yours

    Complete the minimum term and the payments due under it, and the completed website belongs to you. It was built for your business, and it stays with your business.

  4. Your choiceStay, or move it

    Stay with PrimeStart on a rolling basis with no new minimum term, or move the website to hosting of your own.

Moving the website elsewhere is subject to the third-party licences any website relies on, such as WordPress, plugins, fonts and stock photography. The full wording lives in the Website Subscription Terms.

Or do it yourself

You could build it yourself. You don’t have to.

Website builders make it perfectly possible to create a site on your own. PrimeStart is for business owners who would rather spend that time on the job.

You run your business. We’ll run your website.

Wherever your business is

Built around your area as well as your trade.

Customers search with a place name. Every PrimeStart website states the areas it covers in the words locals use, and our area pages explain how that works where you are: the same plans, the same price, from Brighton to Newcastle.

Prefer to talk it through? +44 7446 265140 Request a call

Is there really no upfront website design fee?
There is no separate design or setup invoice. You pay your first monthly payment when you sign up, complete a short onboarding in your Client Platform, and once we have confirmed the project is Ready to Build the work begins.
Why is there a minimum term?
Because we absorb the cost of designing and building your website rather than charging for it up front, and recover it through the monthly service. Complete the term and the website is yours: stay with PrimeStart on a rolling basis with no new minimum, or move it elsewhere.
What does Website include?
A professional website of generally up to five pages, your domain name, hosting, SSL, security, backups, updates, enquiry forms, the basic Google foundations, support, and reasonable small changes subject to fair use.
How quickly will my website be ready?
The first-draft target is five working days from the moment your project is Ready to Build, which is when we have what we need from you. You review the draft, we make reasonable changes, and it goes live when you approve it.
What if I do not like the design?
You see the website before anyone else does. That is the Pre-Launch Design Promise: you review the first draft on your phone and your desktop, ask for reasonable changes, and nothing goes live until you have approved it.
What is Website + SEO?
The same managed website, included, plus PrimeStart working every month on how easily local customers find your business on Google: three agreed searches, your Google Business Profile, your local listings, your website, and a clear monthly report. One monthly total, with the SEO work on a six-month minimum.
Do you build websites for my type of business?
Almost certainly. PrimeStart builds for trades, local services and small professional practices, and the structure, wording and enquiry route are designed around how your customers choose rather than dropped onto a generic template. If you would rather talk it through first, ask for a call.
