Liverpool customers can tell a real business from a fancy front in about four seconds. We build websites that pass that test: clear services, the areas you cover from Crosby to the Wirral, photographs of your actual work and a phone number that is easy to hit. £49.99 a month, hosted and looked after, with ongoing SEO when you want more people finding it.

Liverpool & Merseyside
Word of mouth still runs this city. The website is where it gets checked.
Liverpool businesses grow on recommendation more than almost any city in England: a plumber passed on in a WhatsApp group in Wavertree, a hairdresser everyone on Allerton Road knows, a removals firm the whole street in Crosby has used. But a recommendation is no longer the end of the decision. The customer still opens their phone, searches the name, and looks at the website before they ring. If it looks tired or says nothing useful, the recommendation quietly loses.
So the site's job is to confirm what the customer already half-believes. It shows the work, names the areas you cover in the way locals describe them, from Aigburth and Woolton to Bootle, Formby and over the water to Birkenhead, and makes calling or booking the obvious next step. We write that structure around your business specifically, on WordPress, then host it, secure it and keep it working for one monthly price with no design bill at the start.
It matters more in Liverpool because the city is dense with good independents. The Baltic Triangle is full of studios, Lark Lane and Smithdown Road are lined with cafés, salons and shops, and the terraces from Kensington to Old Swan keep roofers, plasterers and electricians in steady work. A website that is easy to understand and easy to act on is how the recommended business becomes the chosen one.

Merseyside is searching for the work you do. Every day.
A tripped fuse board in Wavertree, a wedding blow-dry in Allerton, a house move from Crosby to Formby: each one starts as a search on a phone. SEO is ongoing monthly work on three agreed searches like these, so more of those customers have the chance to find you.
- 01“electrician Liverpool”
The broad, all-year search across a city of older housing. Customers want certification, a clear area and a sense that you will actually turn up when you say.
- 02“hairdresser Allerton Road”
Chosen on photographs and reviews in a part of the city with plenty of choice. The website has to carry the atmosphere of the salon and make booking quick.
- 03“removals Crosby”
A one-off, high-value job where trust decides it. Insurance, vans, the areas covered and a straightforward quote form do the persuading.
Examples only. Your three searches are agreed with you around the work you want more of and what people across Merseyside actually type. Nobody can promise a position, and we don't.

After eighteen months, it is your website. Not ours.
Liverpool has no shortage of businesses that were sold a website they never owned. Complete the minimum term and this one belongs to you, whether you stay with PrimeStart or take it elsewhere.

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.
-
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.

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.
-
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.
Liverpool industries
Built around the trade first, then around Liverpool.
A garage in Bootle and a café on Lark Lane are chosen in completely different ways. Each site starts from how its customers decide, then adds the streets and areas it serves.
Everything a Liverpool 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.

How it works
Your part is short.
Choose a plan, tell us about the business, review the draft. We do everything in between, and nothing is published until you approve it.
- 1
Choose your plan
Pick Website or Website + SEO. Your first monthly payment is taken at signup.
- 2
Tell us about the business
A short onboarding in your Client Platform: services, areas, anything you want highlighted, your logo, any photos and the number you want calls to go to.
- 3
Ready to Build
We check we have what we need. If something's missing we'll say exactly what, and work with what you have where we can.
- 4
First draft
You see a working draft of your site, on desktop and phone, and tell us what to change.
- 5
Approve and launch
Reasonable in-scope revisions, then you approve it. Nothing goes live until you say so.
We aim to have your first website draft ready within 5 working days once PrimeStart has everything needed and confirms your project is Ready to Build. Payment alone doesn’t start the clock; missing details, revisions or domain delays can extend it.
You review the draft and request reasonable in-scope changes. If there’s a genuine problem we can’t put right within scope after reasonable attempts, we can cancel the agreement and refund Website subscription payments made, subject to any disclosed non-recoverable third-party costs.
