Website builds for small businesses

A good website should make it easy for visitors to understand what you do and take the next step. Intelixa builds clear, practical websites with the right pages, forms, handover and support built around them.

Clear scope, plain English and no pressure into features you will not use.

What your website needs to do

A small-business website should not just sit online looking tidy. It should help visitors understand what you do, decide whether you are a fit, and take the next step without needing to work everything out themselves.

Explain the offer clearly

Visitors should quickly understand what you do, who it is for, and how to work with you.

Build trust quickly

Use clear information, real details, relevant proof and a professional presentation.

Guide the next action

Make it obvious whether someone should call, enquire, book, ask a question or request a review.

Capture useful enquiry details

Forms should collect enough context to make follow-up easier, not just send a vague message.

Starter site or fuller website build?

The £495 route is for a simple, fixed-scope starter site. If the project needs deeper copy work, more pages, enquiry-flow design, forms, Customer Relationship Management setup, ongoing content support or wider systems thinking, it should be scoped separately.

Starter static site

  • Tightly defined pages and wording for a credible first presence.
  • Best when you know exactly what needs to appear and change is occasional.
  • Not a substitute for strategy, fuller content production or Customer Relationship Management integration unless added to scope.

Fuller website build

  • More pages, sharper messaging hierarchy and a clearer next step for visitors.
  • Room for forms, richer handover and paths into follow-up tooling when you choose those routes.
  • Scoped in writing against what you want the site and your team to run week to week.

Website routes and price guide

Not every website build needs the same level of work. A simple starter site can be tightly scoped, while fuller builds need more thinking around message, structure, enquiries and follow-up.

These guide prices show common starting points. The right route depends on how much structure, enquiry handling and follow-up your business needs.

What affects the cost of a website?

A website is not just one page on a screen. It is a mix of structure, wording, images, forms, hosting, domain settings, security certificates, speed, tracking and sometimes connected systems. Cost usually changes when more parts need to be planned, built, tested and made to work together.

  • Number of pages

    More pages usually mean more structure, messaging and quality assurance.

  • Copywriting and content shaping

    Rough notes versus finished, web-ready wording and hierarchy.

  • Images, brand assets and visual polish

    Stock visuals versus bespoke visuals and how much tailoring you need.

  • Enquiry forms and handover route

    Simple contact paths versus structured forms that land where someone acts on them.

  • Search Engine Optimisation basics

    Technical and on-page work that helps search engines understand and surface your pages without guaranteeing rankings.

  • Content Management System needs

    Static sites versus admin-editable builds, such as Content Management System websites like WordPress and similar.

  • Customer Relationship Management or automation

    Connecting enquiries into records, owners and tasks when that is agreed in scope.

  • Ongoing support after launch

    Who runs updates, checks and security-aligned housekeeping once the site is live.

What your website build can include

A website build can include more than page design. Depending on the route, it may also cover the practical parts that keep the site usable, secure and easy to manage after launch.

  • Domain name

    The web address the business uses; keep ownership in the business name.

  • Hosting

    A reliable place your site files are stored and served to visitors.

  • DNS (Domain Name System)

    The records that connect your domain to hosting, email, and security certificates.

  • Pages and content

    Structure, wording, and images so visitors know what you do and what to do next.

  • Forms

    Simple questions that turn an enquiry into useful information, instead of a bare email address with no context.

  • CMS (Content Management System)

    When you need to edit text or images without touching code, we help choose a simple CMS that matches how you will actually update the site.

  • Analytics

    Basic, privacy-minded visibility into which pages people use, so you can improve the site without overcomplicating the tracking.

  • Maintenance and handover

    Updates, backups, who to call, and how to make safe small changes after launch.

Brochure site or enquiry-ready website?

Some websites are mainly there to explain the business. Others need to help turn interest into a handled enquiry. Both can look good, but they do different jobs.

Basic brochure website

Useful when you mainly need a credible online presence.

  • Simple pages that explain what you do
  • Fewer moving parts, easier to maintain
  • Works well when enquiries are low volume or already handled elsewhere
  • Risk: customer interest can still disappear into emails, messages and memory

Which build route is right for you?

Different routes suit different starting points. This is a quick way to sense-check where you are and how much support you may need.

What it takes to look after a website

A website is easier to look after when the responsibilities are clear. The amount of ongoing care depends on how it is built, what needs updating, and who is checking the basics after launch.

Static website

Fewer moving parts. Usually simpler to maintain when content changes are occasional. Ongoing care may still include small edits, form checks, hosting, domain, DNS and security checks.

Content Management System website

More editable through an admin area, but usually needs more care. Updates, backups, security, performance and form testing all need clear ownership.

If you do not want to manage checks, edits and form testing yourself, monthly support can keep the basics tidy.

What is included and what is not

Every website build is agreed in writing before work starts so there is clarity on what is being delivered and how it will be supported.

What is included

  • Agreed page set and responsive layout
  • Basic forms or contact routes agreed in scope
  • Help with domain, DNS and hosting alignment where needed
  • Launch checks and practical handover notes

What is not included

  • Open-ended “build anything” scope without an agreed change process
  • Bespoke databases or complex product logic
  • Guaranteed search ranking positions
  • Ongoing support unless agreed separately

From clear pages to a clear next step

A good website should not just explain what you do. It should guide visitors from interest to action, then leave your business with something you can actually manage.

This is where many websites fall down: the pages exist, but the next step is unclear, weak or badly handled.

  • Abstract visual suggesting structured pages and content blocks.

    PAGES & CONTENT

    Define what you say, who it's for, and how it should be used.

  • Abstract visual suggesting contact routes and reachable next steps.

    CONTACT PATH

    Make it easy for the right people to get in touch or take the next step.

  • Abstract visual suggesting forms and organised input fields.

    USEFUL FORMS

    Collect the right details in the right way, without friction.

  • Abstract visual suggesting notes, guides and checklist-style handover.

    HANDOVER YOU CAN USE

    Logins, routes and a short guide so you can run with confidence.

  • Abstract visual suggesting upkeep and iterative improvement.

    ONGOING CARE

    Support and improvements as your business and site continue to grow.

How we keep website work practical

We keep builds grounded in how the site will actually be used week to week, not only how it looks on launch day.

Most website issues start here: the job is not clearly defined.

We make sure the site is built for the right audience, with a clear next step, and within what you can realistically maintain day to day.

Design for reading first

Clear type, simple structure, and guidance on imager without novelty for its own sake.

Build with handover in mind

Editing routes, where logins live, and a short, usable handover your staff can follow.

Connect follow-up on purpose

If you need form details to reach the right person or system, that is part of the scope, not a last-minute add-on.

Not sure what you need first?

If the question is “what is actually wrong here: the site, the enquiries, or the way things are handled?”, jumping straight into a build usually leads to rework. The right first step is to get clarity on how things are working now, and where the gaps really are.

Common questions

Do I have to buy hosting through Intelixa?

No. We can work with a host you already use or help you choose a simple one. DNS (Domain Name System) must point correctly and someone must stay responsible for renewals.

Will you own our domain?

No. Your domain should sit with your business. We help make sure it is set up correctly before launch.

What if we only need one new page?

That is fine. We can scope the smallest change that does the job. Sometimes a single well-built page is enough.

Can you work with our existing website?

Yes, if the current setup is worth improving. In some cases a tidy refresh makes sense. In others, rebuilding is the cleaner route.

Can you help if we are not sure what the site should say?

Yes. Part of the job is shaping the message, the structure and the next step so the site is clearer for visitors and easier for your team to use.

What happens after launch?

We can hand the site over for you to manage, or agree ongoing support if you want help with updates, checks and improvements after launch.
