Common questions
Asked, answered.
Don't see what you need? Drop us a line and we'll come back within the working day.
Do you work with Hawes hospitality, food, and visitor businesses?
+
Yes — Upper Wensleydale hospitality is some of the work I am most drawn to. Sites here need to combine genuine landscape content, food-and-drink storytelling (especially around Wensleydale cheese), and absolutely reliable mobile booking flows.
How important is the Wensleydale Creamery / cheese angle for new Hawes businesses?
+
It's context — and a strong one. Wensleydale cheese is a national search anchor. Hawes businesses that genuinely connect to it (food, hospitality, gifts) inherit considerable ambient traffic if the site does the work.
Can a tiny Hawes business justify a professional website?
+
Yes, as long as the scope fits the business. A simple site with clear pages, good mobile contact routes, and local SEO basics is often the right first step.
What does a website cost?
+
Our launch pricing starts at £250 for a 3-page starter website and £500 for a 5-page business website. Care plans start at £19/month for hosting and support, or £49/month for Care + Local SEO with active monthly work. Dedicated Local SEO retainers (beyond what is bundled into Care + Local SEO) start at £300/month. Five free portfolio builds are currently available — see /founding-five/.
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 extras.
Websites from £250 and care plans from £19/month.
