Pay monthly websites for Stoke-on-Trent.
A pay monthly website for a Stoke-on-Trent business costs £99 to set up, then £29.99 a month, and that is the whole bill: bespoke design, UK hosting, SSL, your .co.uk domain, business email, unlimited edits and support. Add an online shop and it is £49.98 a month all in, with no commission on your sales. We are a Blackpool web design studio, not a Stoke one, and we say so up front: the work happens over WhatsApp and email, the same way it does for the businesses we build for two streets away.
Why a Stoke business is searching for pay monthly.
The searches that bring people from Stoke to this site are specific: “monthly ecommerce website Stoke”, “monthly website packages Stoke”. They are not looking for a designer down the road; they are looking for a way of paying that does not start with a four-figure invoice. That is the whole of our model. A typical agency quote for a small-business site runs £2,000 or more up front, then hosting, domain renewals and every future change billed on top. For a Potteries independent, a trade covering the six towns, or a maker selling from a stall at the market, that is money better kept in the business.
Ours is priced the other way round: the design, the build and everything it takes to keep the site running are inside one monthly figure. When your prices change or you want a new page, you message us and it gets done.
Online shops for £49.98 a month, no commission
The online shop is the add-on Stoke businesses ask about most, so here is the plain version. £19.99 a month on top of the £29.99 plan gets you a full pay monthly e-commerce website: products, basket, Stripe card payments with Apple Pay and Google Pay, delivery or click-and-collect, and an order back office you can run from your phone. The only extra is Stripe’s per-transaction card fee, which every online shop pays whoever builds it. We take no cut of a sale, ever. If you are currently paying marketplace commission on every order, that is usually the number that decides it.
Two shops we run the same way: The Perfume Factory, an events trader whose stall customers now buy online, and SportSupplements.uk, a one-man supplements shop with a three-button admin. Both run remotely, which is how yours would run too.
What every site includes
- Bespoke design built around your business, not a template with your logo dropped in.
- UK hosting on our own servers, SSL, daily backups and security updates, all in the fee.
- Your domain in your name from day one, and business email at it.
- Unlimited content edits, usually done the same working day, sent over WhatsApp or email.
- Local SEO foundations: proper page titles, structured data, and a Google Business Profile set up so people in ST postcodes can find you. Competing for busy Stoke searches? Our ongoing SEO campaign is £99.99 a month, month to month.
How it works from a hundred miles away
Nearly everything we do happens over WhatsApp, email and screen-shares, whichever town the client is in, so distance changes nothing about the price or the service. You send us your content: photos, prices, what you want the site to say. You see a first design within a week and approve it before anything goes live. After launch you manage billing and support through the client portal and send edits as they occur to you. If you would rather meet, we are two hours up the M6 and happy to arrange it; most clients never feel the need.
We will be honest about the one thing distance does affect: we cannot pop round to take your photos. Where a Stoke business needs professional photography we can arrange it and quote it at build, or work with what you already have, which is usually more than people think.
Questions Stoke-on-Trent businesses ask
Do you have to be local to build my website?
No. Websites are built and looked after online, and ours are no exception. What you should check about any designer, wherever they sit, is the price on the page, the sites they have actually built, and whether they will still answer in a year. We are happy to be judged on those against anyone in Stoke.
How much does a monthly ecommerce website cost in Stoke?
With us, £99 to set up, then £49.98 a month: the £29.99 plan plus the £19.99 online shop add-on. That covers design, build, hosting, SSL, domain, email, unlimited edits, Stripe card payments and support. No commission on sales; only Stripe’s card fee, which is the same whoever builds your shop. The side-by-side comparison with Shopify and the marketplaces is on our e-commerce page.
Who owns the website?
Your domain is registered in your name from day one and goes with you whenever you leave, along with your content. Complete twelve months on the plan and the website and its files are yours to keep as well. Cancel any time with 30 days’ notice and no exit fee; leave inside the first year and the build stays with us, while your domain and content always go with you.
How long until the site is live?
Usually within a week of receiving your content. Simple sites can be quicker; online shops with a large product range take a little longer, because we load the launch range and run real test orders end to end before anything goes live.
Can you take over a website another designer built?
Usually, yes. If the site is sound we move it onto our hosting, tidy it and look after it for the same £29.99 a month, edits included. If it is slow, dated or fighting you, we will say so and rebuild it properly, keeping your rankings through the move. Check it free first and you will know which conversation to have.
