Quick answer
A £250 website from Pettifer Works is a focused brochure site with up to 5 pages, mobile-responsive design, a contact form, basic on-page SEO, SSL, and launch support. Hosting is separate from £15/month. It does not include unlimited pages, custom copywriting, or complex integrations.
Who this applies to
Ideal for UK trades, consultants, and local services who need a credible online presence quickly — not a full marketing platform or e-commerce store.
Main explanation
At £250, the goal is a professional site that answers three questions: what you do, why someone should trust you, and how to contact you. We use custom-coded Next.js rather than drag-and-drop templates, so you get better performance and full code ownership.
Included in the Small Site plan
- Up to 5 pages (e.g. home, services, about, contact, plus one extra)
- Mobile-first responsive layout
- Contact form with email notifications
- Basic SEO — page titles, meta descriptions, heading structure
- SSL certificate and HTTPS
- Launch support and handover documentation
Usually not included at £250
- Professional copywriting (we structure pages; you provide text)
- Logo design or full brand identity
- Blog or news section
- Booking systems, CRM, or payment integrations
- Ongoing content updates after launch

- Not budgeting for hosting (£15/month is typical for managed hosting)
- Providing no content and expecting the developer to invent your services
- Comparing to DIY builders that charge monthly but own your platform
