Why does a mybitness website cost £799.99?
A direct, complete answer — because you deserve one before you spend anything.
Independent UK pricing guides put a small business brochure site at roughly
£800–£2,500, and a professional services site at
£2,500–£4,500 — with about £2,500–£4,000
being the typical figure most small firms actually pay. mybitness charges £799.99.
We are not going to pretend agencies routinely charge £15,000 for a six-page site so that our price looks
heroic — you would find out the moment you asked anyone else for a quote. The honest position is that
£799.99 sits at the bottom of a real market range, and below is exactly how, and what we leave out to get there.
1. You are not paying for agency overhead
An agency quoting £3,000–£5,000 for a site like this is covering the cost of a team: a business development manager who sold you the project, an account manager who coordinates, a project manager who runs the internal process, a designer, a developer, and often a junior who handles revisions. Each of those people has a salary, a desk, and a share of the office lease — and none of them is typing on your website most of the time.
A meaningful share of what you pay is that overhead rather than the work itself. mybitness has none of it. One person — Paul — quotes the work, builds the site, writes the copy, sets up your Google profile and answers the phone. The saving is structural. It is also why the scope is fixed: a defined package is the only way one person can deliver at this price without cutting the parts that matter.
2. We build on a modern, efficient framework
Every mybitness site is built on Astro — a modern static-site framework that generates clean HTML files. Unlike WordPress (which rebuilds pages on every server request from a database) or Wix (which loads a full platform layer before your content appears), Astro sites load almost instantly because there is nothing to process on the server. The file is already built.
This architecture also means there are no plugins to update, no database to secure, and no attack surface for the automated attacks that compromise WordPress sites daily. The technical quality is higher, not lower — and the build process is more efficient because the foundation is right from the start.
3. The scope is defined and honest
The £799.99 package covers a specific, clearly defined scope: up to six pages, copywriting included, local SEO setup, Google Business Profile creation, and delivery in 14 working days. To secure your build slot, we require 100% upfront payment. The 14 working days build clock starts only once both payment has been made and your Tally onboarding form has been fully completed and submitted.
This scope is exactly what a local service business — a plumber, an accountant, an electrician, a cleaning company — needs to compete effectively in local Google search.
It does not include bespoke e-commerce platforms, custom booking systems, members-only portals, complex API integrations, or multi-stakeholder brand strategy workshops. Those projects are larger, take longer, and cost more — at mybitness or anywhere else. We will tell you on the first call if your project needs something beyond this scope, and we will not try to squeeze a complex brief into a simple package.
4. We specialise in one type of client
Generalist agencies quote widely, learn on the job across many different project types, and price accordingly. mybitness builds websites for one type of client: local service businesses and professional practices in the Midlands that need to generate enquiries from Google.
That focus means the same decisions get made repeatedly rather than reinvented: what a plumber's homepage has to say in the first five seconds, what an accountant's site needs in order to convert a cautious enquiry, which technical setup actually matters for local search. A narrow scope makes the build faster and more predictable — not because shortcuts are taken, but because the decisions are already settled before we start.
What £799.99 is not
A cheap template with your name on it
Every mybitness site is designed from scratch for your business. The starting point is your brief, not a pre-built layout.
A race to the lowest possible quality
Every site is built on Astro and tested against Google PageSpeed Insights before launch, targeting 90+ on mobile. We publish the score for this site rather than claim a perfect one.
A price that hides future charges
The £799.99 covers the build in full and is payable upfront. mybitness is not VAT registered, so there is no VAT to add — £799.99 is the total. Hosting and ongoing growth are a separate, optional £79/month plan carrying a 12-month minimum term (£948 across year one). That term is stated here, on the pricing page and in the client agreement, so you can weigh it before spending anything.
Right for every project
If you need a custom e-commerce platform, a web application, or a 50-page site with complex integrations, £799.99 is not the right budget for your project — and we will tell you that.
The direct comparison
mybitness is not competing with large agency builds. It is competing with these alternatives — the ones a local Midlands business owner is actually choosing between:
| Option | Cost | Google setup | You own it |
|---|---|---|---|
| DIY (Wix/Squarespace) | £12–£35/month forever | Partial — you do it | No |
| Generic freelancer | £300–£800 one-off | Rarely included | Usually |
| Yell / LocaliQ | £150–£400/month forever | Not really | No |
| mybitness | £799.99 once (+ optional £79/mo) | Yes — fully included | Yes — completely |
| Small UK agency | £2,500–£4,500 one-off | Sometimes | Usually |
