Web Design

Web design in Biggleswade and Central Bedfordshire

Every site is custom coded, built to load fast on a phone, and priced before we start. From £449, live in under two weeks, with your domain and hosting included to get you going.

Included as standard

What you get in every build

The same foundations go into a £449 one-pager as a £2,000 custom build. Only the size changes.

Custom coded

No page builder, no theme, no 40 plugins fighting each other. Your site is HTML, CSS and a small amount of JavaScript, so there is nothing spare to slow it down or break in an update.

Designed on a phone first

Most of your visitors arrive on a phone, often on mobile data with one hand full. We lay every page out for that screen first, then widen it for tablet and desktop.

Fast enough to keep visitors

We build to pass Google's Core Web Vitals, the speed and stability scores that feed into ranking. Pages are typically under 100KB and paint in well under a second.

SEO foundations from day one

Page titles, meta descriptions, heading structure, alt text, sitemap, robots file and business schema are all set up before launch. Business and Professional builds add Google Analytics and Search Console, so you can see your own data from day one.

Domain and hosting sorted

We register your domain and include the first year, then host the site on a fast global network with an SSL certificate and DDoS protection. Hosting is included for the first 3 to 12 months depending on your package, and you are told exactly what it costs after that before you commit.

Forms that actually arrive

Enquiry forms are wired to your inbox and tested before launch, with spam filtering that does not make real customers solve a puzzle. A dead contact form is a lost job.

Website packages

One-off prices, agreed before any work starts. Pick the size that fits your business.

Already have a website?

We'll audit it for free. Speed, SEO, and mobile performance are measured before we start. After launch, we run the same tests again so you can see exactly how much has improved.

The build

How a build actually runs

Five stages, one point of contact, and a fixed price agreed before stage two.

01

The brief

You fill in the enquiry form and we come back within one working day with questions: what you sell, who buys it, which jobs you actually want more of, and which competitors keep beating you in search. Ten minutes on the phone if you prefer. No sales script.

02

Fixed quote and page plan

You get a written quote with the page count, what each page will cover, and the delivery date. The number on that quote is the number you pay. If the scope changes later, we price the change and you approve it first.

03

Content and structure

You send your logo, photos, prices and service details. We structure the pages around the searches your customers actually make, then write or tighten the copy to fit. If you would rather we wrote it all from scratch, SEO copywriting is £49 a page.

04

Design, build, review

We build the real site, not a mockup, and send you a private preview link. You review it on your own phone and laptop and send everything you want changed in one go. Starter includes one round of revisions, Business includes two.

05

Launch and handover

We point your domain, install the SSL certificate, submit the sitemap to Google, and check every form and phone link on a real device. You get the code, any accounts set up in your name, and a short plain-English note on what was done. Then you decide whether you want us to keep looking after it.

The honest comparison

Custom-coded versus the usual alternatives

Most small business sites are built on WordPress or a subscription builder. Here is what changes when they are not.

Comparison of a custom-coded SabByte site, a typical WordPress build, and a subscription website builder
  SabByte Typical WordPress Subscription builder
Ongoing platform cost Hosting only, from £15/month Hosting plus plugin licences Monthly, forever, or you lose the site
Typical page weight Under 100KB 2MB and up 2MB and up
Plugin updates to manage None Dozens, weekly Handled, but locked in
Security surface Static files only Database, admin login, plugins Platform's responsibility
You can edit it yourself Not designed for it Yes Yes
You can take the site elsewhere Yes, you own the code Yes No, it stays on the platform

We are not going to pretend custom coded wins on everything. If editing your own pages daily matters more than speed, a builder is the better fit and we will tell you so. If you want a site that loads instantly, costs very little to run, and belongs to you, this is the trade we make.

Build add-ons

Bolt these onto any package. Priced the same way as everything else.

Extra Page

£100 per page

Add a page to any build package. Includes full design, copy layout, SEO setup, and mobile optimisation. Useful when you want a separate page per service so each one can rank on its own.

Domain Registration

from £25/year

The first year is included with every build. After that we keep managing it so you never lose it to an expired card, and multi-year renewals come in cheaper.

Domain prices vary by extension and availability. Premium domains may cost more. Confirmed before purchase.

Business Email Setup

£49 one-off

A professional address on your own domain instead of a Gmail one. We set up the mailbox, get it working on your phone and laptop, and configure the records that keep your mail out of spam folders.

Logo & Brand Starter

£149 one-off

A wordmark, colour palette, and one logo. Everything you need to look consistent across your site, socials, van and print.

Cookie & Privacy Policy Setup

£49 one-off

Every site legally needs one. We handle the setup. Correct, clear, and in plain English. Minimal legal jargon, no guesswork.

SEO Copywriting

from £49/page

Keyword-researched copy written to rank and convert. Structured for search engines from the first line, not just filled with words. Add it if writing your own pages is the thing holding the project up.

Web design questions

How long does a small business website take to build?
A Starter site is live within 5 working days of us having your content. A Business site takes around 10 working days. Professional builds vary with scope and you get a firm timeline in writing with your quote. The most common cause of delay is waiting on photos and text, so we tell you exactly what we need up front.
What do you need from me before you start?
Your logo if you have one, any photos you want used, and a rough idea of your services and prices. Bullet points are fine. If your copy is not written, we can lay out the pages first and write to fit, or you can add SEO copywriting from £49 a page and hand the whole job over.
Do I own the website when it is finished?
Yes. Once the final invoice is paid the site is yours, including the code and the domain if we registered it for you. There is no licence, no lock-in, and nothing to keep paying for. If you ever want to move it somewhere else, the files come with you.
Can I edit the website myself after launch?
Our sites are custom coded for speed, so they are not built around a drag-and-drop editor. That is a deliberate trade: no editor means no bloat and nothing to break. Most clients take a care plan from £29 a month and send changes over instead, which works out faster and cheaper than learning an editor yourself.
What happens to hosting after the included period?
Every build includes hosting to start: 3 months on Starter, 6 on Business, 12 on Professional. After that you either move onto a care plan from £29 a month, which bundles hosting with monitoring, security and content changes, or take hosting on its own at £15 a month or £149 a year. We give you 30 days notice before the included period ends, so nothing is ever switched off without warning and there is no surprise invoice.
I already have a domain. Can you use it?
Yes. We move it across and set it up at no extra cost, and you stay the registered owner throughout. If you do not have a domain yet, the first year is included with every build and renews at the standard rate from £25 a year. If you have lost access to the account yours sits in, we will help you get it back before launch day.
Do you build online shops?
Yes, as a Professional build. E-commerce is built on Shopify so payments, stock, VAT and refunds are handled by a platform designed for it rather than bolted onto a static site. A Shopify subscription starts from £19 a month, paid directly to Shopify, and that is the only recurring cost we cannot remove.

After the site goes live

A build gets you online. These two keep you there.
