A website you will actually keep up to date
Most small businesses and charities are stuck with a Facebook page, a half finished site, or opening hours that went out of date two Christmases ago. We build you a real website, help you fill it in, and look after it so you can get on with the job.
- Live in about a week
- You can edit it yourself
- No contract, no catch
Sound familiar?
If any of these is you, we can help this week.
None of that is your fault. Websites are not what you signed up for. Making the coffee, fixing the boiler, cutting the hair or getting people fed is.
What you get
Everything a small business or charity actually needs, and nothing it does not.
Pages you edit yourself
Your own words, in plain language. No code, and no waiting on a developer to change a sentence.
Your opening hours
Shown on every page, with an open-or-closed badge that works itself out from the times you set.
What is coming up
Events, classes and closures, with dates, places and prices. Take one down without losing it.
What you offer
A menu, a treatment list, or the programmes you run. Whatever your customers came to read.
Enquiries in one place
Bookings, quotes and questions land in a list your team can work through, not in one person's inbox.
Roles for your team
Give people exactly the access they need and nothing more, and take it away when they leave.
Free, and it stays free
The site, the hosting and the updates cost you nothing. We are not doing you a favour and calling it marketing: the businesses on the platform pay for it.
- A donate button. Pointed at your own giving account. The money goes to you and we never touch it.
- Volunteer sign ups. People offering to help land in a list, with a note of what they can do and when.
One simple monthly price
No setup fee, no contract, and you can stop whenever you like. Everything above is included, and so is us keeping it running.
- Found by people nearby. Your address, hours and phone number written the way search engines expect to read them.
- Your own photographs. Upload your logo and your pictures. Nobody wants stock photos of somebody else's shop.
How it works
Four steps, and we do most of the work.

Straight answers
Is it really free for charities?
Yes. The website, the hosting and the updates are free for registered charities and small non profit groups. The platform is shared, so one more site costs us very little, and the businesses on it cover the rest.
What does a business pay?
A simple monthly price with everything included, no setup fee and no contract. Ask us and we will tell you straight away, before you commit to anything.
What is the catch?
There is not one. If you later want something unusual, like an online shop or a live booking system, that is separate paid work and we will quote for it before starting.
Do you take a cut of donations or sales?
No. Your donate button points at your own account with your own provider, and we take no percentage of anything.
Who owns the content?
You do. It is your words, your photos, and your data. If you ever want to leave, we will export everything and help you move.
We are not very technical
That is exactly who this is for. If you can write an email, you can update your site. We will also sit down with you and show you how.
Ready to get online?
Tell us about your cause and we will come back to you within two working days. If we are not the right fit we will say so and point you somewhere better.
