(02 — APPROACH) CLEAR SCOPE · FIXED PRICE

THE WAY WE WORK.

Five phases. Clear scope, fixed price, and enough feedback points to keep the work moving without turning it into a long agency process.

Simple websites can still be handled properly: clear pages, mobile-first design, basic SEO, and no surprises at launch.

01

LISTEN

Week 1

We sit down — in person where we can — and work out what your business actually needs from a website. You talk to me, not an account manager.

02

MAP

Plan

Page structure, content plan, and basic SEO map. Grounded in what local customers are actually looking for.

03

MAKE

Build

Design and build in short feedback loops. You see the site as it comes together and can keep it moving.

04

LAUNCH

Go live

Final checks, forms, analytics, Search Console, basic schema, and indexing. No messy handover.

05

TEND

Ongoing

Hosting, monthly checks, small edits, and SEO if you want it. The same person who built the site looks after it.

(03 — HOW WE KEEP IT CLEAR) PLAIN-TALKING

CLEAR BOUNDARIES.

Affordable should not mean vague. These are the boundaries that keep the work useful, calm, and properly scoped — for both sides.

Clear scope protects both sides. You know what you are paying for, and I know what needs to be delivered.

  • 01

    You need it tomorrow.

    We keep the work practical, but a good site still needs a clear brief, content, feedback, and proper launch checks.

  • 02

    You want to launch and disappear.

    A site is the start of the work, not the end. The studio is set up to look after the website after launch, not hand over and disappear — the care plan exists for a reason.

  • 03

    You only want something that looks nice.

    A site has to explain your services, build trust, work on mobile, and help people contact you. Design matters, but it is not the whole job.

  • 04

    You want guaranteed page-one rankings by month two.

    Nobody can promise that honestly. We can set the foundations, improve the signals, and keep working steadily, but Google rankings are never guaranteed.

  • 05

    You cannot give feedback.

    We do not need endless meetings, but we do need quick answers on services, photos, wording, and contact details so the site reflects the real business.

If that sounds sensible, send a few details and we will come back with a clear next step.

(Common Questions)

FREQUENTLY
ASKED
QUESTIONS

Are you a one-person studio?

Yes. Copper Lane is me — Sean Inglis. You email me, you get me. No account handlers, no junior designers, no sub-contracting it out. I have been building websites for around twelve years, and I run the studio full time from Ampleforth.

Why are your prices so much lower than other studios?

Two reasons. First, the studio itself is new and I am deliberately building a local North Yorkshire portfolio at launch pricing — these prices will rise once that portfolio is in place. Second, there is no agency overhead: no studio rent, no account managers, no resellers in the middle. The work is small, direct, and the saving goes to you.

How long does a website take to build?

A simple 3-page starter site usually takes 1-2 weeks once we have the content. A 5-page business site usually takes 2-4 weeks depending on copy, feedback, and any extras.

How much does a website cost?

Launch pricing starts at £250 for a 3-page starter website and £500 for a 5-page business website. After launch, Care Lite is £19/month (hosting, SSL, backups, support — 6-month minimum) or Care + Local SEO is £49/month (everything in Lite plus 30 minutes of edits and 30 minutes of monthly local SEO work — 12-month minimum). Selected Founding Five clients get their website built for free and Care + Local SEO at £29/month for the first year. Extra pages, logos, copywriting from scratch, ecommerce, and booking systems are quoted separately before any work begins.

What happens to my site if I cancel the care plan?

You get a full export of your site files and content, and any third-party accounts in your name (domain registrar, Google Business Profile, email) stay with you. The site itself runs on Copper Lane hosting, so cancelling means it comes off our hosting — but nothing is held hostage and there are no exit fees. The 12-month minimum term keeps the launch pricing viable.

What’s the difference between bespoke and WordPress?

Most starter sites do not need a complex CMS. I can build a fast, simple website and look after changes through the care plan. If you need to edit content yourself often, a WordPress or CMS-backed build is quoted separately.

Do you work with clients outside North Yorkshire?

Yes. The studio is in Ampleforth and the local work is the focus, but I meet in person where it makes sense and work remotely where it doesn’t. Over twelve years I have built sites for businesses across the UK — launch pricing is open to any small business.

Will I be able to update the site myself?

If you want editing access, I can quote that. For most small businesses the £49/month Care + Local SEO plan is simpler: I handle hosting, updates, backups, support, small content edits, and active monthly local SEO work for you. If you prefer to manage your own content, Care Lite at £19/month is the lower-commitment option.

Can you take over an existing site?

Often, yes. I’ll audit what you have, tell you honestly what’s worth keeping, and either refactor it or rebuild from scratch. Sometimes a fresh build is faster and cheaper than untangling a bad one — I’ll tell you upfront which it is.

Do you offer ongoing SEO?

Yes. Every website includes basic SEO setup. Local SEO retainers for businesses that want to rank more seriously start from £300/month and can include Google Business Profile work, service pages, local content, and reporting.

How do we get started?

Send a few words about your business, the pages you need, and whether you want ongoing support. I come back within one working day with a clear next step and a fixed price.
