What is a Pay Monthly Website?
A pay monthly website is exactly what it says on the tin. You will get a beautiful, responsive, optimised for Google website with the benefit of being able to pay for it monthly. Prices start from just £35 a month with no upfront costs. As with everything I do, my pricing is fully transparent so just scroll down for pricing.
How do Pay Monthly Websites Work?
Find a Template That You Love
Click here to view the pay monthly pre-made website templates. Scroll through the templates or use the filter to narrow the niche. Don't think that the template has to be in your niche. Changing the images, colours and fonts of a site completely changes the look of a site. If the layout and content structure work for your business then go for it!
Choose the Monthly Package
Choose the monthly package for your template. Starting from just £35 a month for a fully built website, customised to your brand colours and optimised for Google you can't go wrong! Scroll down to see the pay monthly website pricing.
Let's Get Started!
Just get in touch with me and let me know the name of your template (the name is underneath each template). I'll send over some questions about your business and ask for your content and we can get started!
You Have a Beautiful Website
Within 10 working days I send over the first draft with all the content and images that you provided. Any tweaks are made until you are 100% happy and your site goes live. You have a very affordable, easy to edit, beautiful, optimised for Google website. Congratulations!
Are Pay Monthly Websites Different?
A pay monthly website is indeed different from my usual web design offerings. Instead of being built from scratch and therefore completely bespoke to you and your company, the pay monthly websites are built using pre-made templates. This means that I can build your website quicker, which means that I can pass the savings onto you. All the templates are professionally designed using best design practices and are built to convert. By paying monthly you benefit from having a beautiful, professional website, with my usual outstanding customer service, without having to find a large sum of money. It completely removes the usual financial burden of getting online.
If you think that using a pre-made template means that your site will look the same as everyone else's, please don't worry. Changing the colours, fonts, and images on a site makes the world of difference as to how a site looks. You might be surprised to learn that some companies charging £3k+ for their web design services also used pre-made templates.
If you prefer a bespoke, built from scratch website then this is still my core service and you can view the affordable web design prices and my portfolio.

Pay Monthly Websites Add Ons
If the template you love doesn't include a function that you'd like your website to have, then these are available as add ons for a one off set up fee. If the feature you require isn't listed in the pricing table above, or in the add ons, please don't hesitate to get in touch. I'd be happy to give you a quote for your add on.
Blog
Add a Blog to Your Site
£40 - One Off Fee
If your preferred template doesn't include a blog you can choose to add one for a one off fee of £40. Blogs are a great way to keep your customers informed of news and information about your business. More importantly they are a great way of keeping your site content fresh which Google loves and so blogs can really help your Google rankings if done properly.
You will have access to the blog and keyword training videos so you'll be an expert at adding your own blog posts with minimum effort.
To view all the templates that already include a blog, simply click the "blog" option on the pay monthly websites template page.
Ecommerce
Add Ecommerce to Your Site
£80 - One Off Fee
If your preferred template doesn't include ecommerce you can add it to your site for an £80 one off fee. Unlike some platforms you get to keep all the earnings from your site (minus any payment processor fees such as Stripe or PayPal).
There is no limit to the number of products you can add to your site and you will receive full training. It's much easier than you think to add products. I'll also teach you how to optimise your products for Google to strengthen your chances of ranking well.
We recommend using either Stripe or PayPal as your payment gateway. You may not have heard of Stripe but they are huge in the US (started by 2 Irish men who are now very wealthy!) and now also very popular in the UK for both small and large businesses because of the ease of set up and low fees.
To view all the templates that already include ecommerce, simply click the "ecommerce" tab on the pay monthly websites template page.
Membership & Courses
Add a Membership & Courses to Your Site
£120 - One Off Fee
Online courses have never been so popular and it is now a global multi-billion dollar business. There are lots of course platforms to choose from when building your course and they all have their pros and cons. The advantages of using WordPress are:
- You are not competing on a platform with other people selling courses similar to yours
- You get to keep all the money you make from your course (minus payment processing fees such as Stripe/PayPal)
- There are no hefty monthly fees. One very popular platform's pricing would cost you at least $199 a month for similar functionality. That's a sizeable chunk!
- Everything is easily customisable to suit your brand
- The content is yours and can never be removed except by you
Your £120 one off set up fee includes the layout and adding course functionality to your site. You can then easily add all your course content. It also includes tying it into a payment provider such as Stripe or PayPal. I use Learndash plugin for courses and the license fee is included, which would usually cost you $159.
To view all the templates that already include an online course element, simply click the "online course" tab on the pay monthly websites template page.
Extra Sections
Extra Section
£25 One Off Fee OR £2 a Month
All the pay monthly starter templates are built using best practice design principles and in most cases, they will suit your business needs. However, I understand that all businesses are different and you may wish to add in extra sections with extra content. I include training videos on how to do this yourself but if you prefer me to do this for you so that you have the extra sessions in place when your site goes live then that's no problem at all. If you think you might want extra sections added please don't hesitate to contact me. There are dozens of ready made sections to choose from.
Online Appointment Booking
Add Online Booking Functionality to Your Site
From £30
Online appointment booking systems offer an easy way for your customers to book your services. Examples include for services such as fitness classes or personal training sessions, hairdressers or just having a calendar for people to schedule a phone call with you.
Although appointment booking systems may all seem very similar, they all have slightly different functionality and the right one for your business will depend on your needs. For example, an appointment booking system that requires a payment or part payment at the time of booking is more complex than one that doesn't. Or a salon might need a system that allows people to choose the stylist and whether they want a cut and blow dry, tints etc which would be more complex than a booking system for one person.
No matter what your needs a booking system can be added to your website. Simply get in touch to discuss what you need and I can then give you a fixed price for your specific needs. You might be surprised how much the £30 calendar offers.
Accommodation Booking
Add Accommodation Booking Functionality to Your Site
£150 - One Off Fee
My pay monthly website offering includes accommodation website templates (click "accommodation"). These are stylish and can be adapted for any kind of accommodation. However, they don't include online booking functionality out of the box. This is available for a £150 one off fee. It provides a whole range of options including:
- Unlimited rooms/units
- Offer extra-services (champagne on arrival etc)
- Flexible payment options including credit/debit card. PayPal and bank transfer
- Take deposits
- Complex pricing available for different seasons
- Offer discounts
- Synchronize your bookings
- So much more
And most importantly unlike third party booking platforms, the only fees you will pay are the payment processor fees (Stripe or PayPal).
If you'd like to see a demo of the booking function in action please don't hesitate to get in touch.
If you prefer to embed booking functions from third parties such as Booking.com etc, then there is no charge for this.
Restaurant Menus
Restaurant Menu
£1 per Extra Menu Item - One Off Fee
If you are a restaurant or cafe you will find some ready made restaurant/bar/cafe templates. Simply click on "restaurants/cafes." You will see that these already include a number of menu items. All cafes and restaurants are different and yours may have 20 or 200 menu items. A charge of £1 per extra menu item will apply.
If you prefer, a PDF of your menu can be included instead for no extra charge. However, statistics show that this isn't an ideal user experience, and especially on phones, your potential customer will prefer to read the menu items on your website rather than having to download a (usually) hard to read PDF.
Extra Pages
Extra pages
£50 per Page - One Off Fee
Most of the ready made templates come with between 5 and 10 pages (for example Home, About, Services, Contact etc). For most businesses, this is enough. If you want extra pages added though it's no problem at all. Each page costs just £50 as a one off fee. You can also add extra pages yourself free of charge and training is included on how to do this.
Keyword Research
Keyword Research
£50 - One Off Fee
If you have a blog on your website or are planning to add one, then adding keyword research is probably one of the best investments you can make. One of the main reasons for adding a blog to your site (as well as providing information to your site visitors) is to help your website rank. Google loves websites that add quality, relevant content regularly. Written well, with the correct keywords, blog posts can really help your website to rank. However one of the most common mistakes that amateurs make when writing blog posts is that they write random posts, on subjects that they are interested in, with no research about what people actually want to read and how it can help their site to rank in Google.
If you choose the keyword research add on, you will be provided with a list of keywords (these are what people type into Google when searching for something). These keywords will actually be searches that people are making in Google. The keyword research will give you ideas on what to write your blog posts about to make the most of Google rankings. There is no harm in also writing about the topics that are close to your heart also, but mixing them with keyword optimised posts will give you the best boost in rankings.
1 to 1 Training
One to One Training
£40 for a 50 minute session
Since I started my business back in 2008, I have been a great believer that clients should be able to update their own sites if they wish. I have the same ethos with my pay monthly website packages.
You will have access to generic training videos that I have created for all templates. You will be able to edit all aspects of your website, add pages, images, new text, products (if you have the e-commerce add on) and pretty much anything you like. The one to one training add on is for if you'd like to learn something more specific for your website, or sometimes clients feel more confident if I'm online with them and can see their screen and guide them through the process. This gives them the confidence to continue on their own.
