What Oxford customers actually type.

A boiler that fails in a Headington let, a garden in Wolvercote that has got away from someone, a student who needs a tutor before June: each starts as a search with a place name in it. SEO is ongoing monthly work on three agreed searches like these.

  1. 01
    “boiler repair Headington

    A landlord or a letting agent with a tenant and no heating. They want a Gas Safe engineer who covers Headington and answers the phone, and they choose fast.

  2. 02
    “gardener Summertown

    The regular-maintenance search from larger gardens north of the city centre. Customers want to see the work and know the round covers their road.

  3. 03
    “maths tutor Oxford

    Parents search early in the year and compare on qualifications and results they can verify. A clear, calm page about how you teach wins the first message.

Examples only. Your three searches are agreed with you around the work you want more of and what people in Oxford actually type. Nobody can promise a position, and we don't.

Oxford

Two cities in one, and both of them are searching.

Oxford is famous for its colleges, but most of the businesses that keep it running are ordinary ones: the plumbers, electricians, decorators and gardeners who look after Victorian terraces in Jericho and family homes in Headington, the garages and body shops along the Cowley Road and out towards the Mini plant, and the cafés, salons and independent shops that fill the Covered Market and the streets around it.

It is also a city that turns over. Students arrive and leave, academics come for a year or a decade, and families move in and out of Summertown, Botley and Marston with every school intake. A large share of your potential customers are new here and have nobody to ask, so they search. The business with a clear, professional website that says what it does and where it goes is the one they call.

We build that website for you. Your services, your areas, your photographs and the way you like to be contacted, put together as a proper WordPress site rather than a page on somebody else's platform, then hosted and looked after by PrimeStart for one monthly price. You never need to learn WordPress, and nothing is published until you have approved it.

  1. Month 1 We design and build it

    Your first £49.99 is taken at signup. We build the website around your business and you approve it before anything is published.

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

    Hosting, security, backups, updates and reasonable small changes, while you make the monthly payments. 18 payments of £49.99, £899.82 in total.

  3. After month 18 The website is yours

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

  4. Your choice Stay, or move it

    Stay with PrimeStart at £49.99 a month 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.

Oxford industries

Built around the work first, then around Oxford.

A tutor in Summertown and a mechanic on the Cowley Road need different websites. Each starts from how its customers choose, then adds the areas it covers.

Everything a Oxford business needs from its website, in one monthly plan.

Design, build, hosting, security and the ongoing technical work are all part of the same plan, so there is nothing to add on and nothing to remember to renew.

Questions

Questions from Oxford businesses

Straight answers on price, the term, ownership and what SEO does and does not promise.

View all FAQs · All locations

Do you cover the whole of Oxford and the towns around it?
Yes. PrimeStart works with businesses across the city, from Cowley and Headington to Summertown, Jericho, Botley and Marston, and across the market towns around it such as Kidlington, Abingdon, Witney, Bicester and Didcot. Everything is built and managed remotely, so where you are based makes no difference to the service.
What does a website cost for an Oxford business?
£49.99 a month on Website, with a £0 upfront website design fee. Your first monthly payment is taken at signup. The Website has an 18-month minimum term, which is £899.82 in total, and the price is the same in Oxford as anywhere else in the UK. Complete the term and the website is yours.
A lot of my customers are students or people new to the city. Does that change the website?
It changes how we write it. People who are new to Oxford have no word of mouth to rely on, so the site has to do that job: clear services, the areas you cover written the way locals say them, genuine reviews where you have them, and an obvious way to get in touch. That is the brief we build to.
Can the site show the areas I work in, like Headington or Kidlington?
Yes, and it should. Customers search with a place name far more often than a postcode, so we list your areas in the words they use, whether that is a handful of neighbourhoods inside the ring road or the whole stretch out to Witney and Bicester. Changing the list later is a small change under fair use.
How does SEO help an Oxford business?
Website + SEO is £349.99 a month total with the website included. Each month we work on three agreed local searches, your Google Business Profile and the site itself, then report on what was done. It is designed to give more of the right local customers the chance to find you. Nobody can promise rankings, and we don't.
What happens when the 18 months are up?
The website is yours. You can stay with PrimeStart at £49.99 a month on a rolling basis with no new minimum term, or move the site to hosting of your own. Moving it is subject to the third-party licences any website relies on, such as WordPress, plugins, fonts and stock photography.
