Explain the offer clearly
Visitors should quickly understand what you do, who it is for, and why it is relevant to them.
Digital Studio
Website builds for small businesses
A site should help a visitor do something useful: get in touch, book, or ask a clear question. Intelixa plans builds around that, using plain terms for domain, hosting, DNS (Domain Name System), a CMS (Content Management System) when you need to edit, forms, and handover you can run.
You get an honest cut-line on scope: no "customer journey" theatre, and no pressure into features you will not use.
What your website needs to do
A small-business website should do more than simply look professional. It should help visitors understand what you do, decide whether you are the right fit, and take the next step with confidence.
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?
Our professional website builds start from £495. From there, the right approach depends on how much structure, content, enquiry handling and connected follow-up your business needs.
Starter static site
- A simple, credible online presence with a tightly defined scope.
- Best when you know what needs to be included and changes are occasional.
Fuller website build
- More structure, stronger messaging and clearer customer journeys.
- Best when the website needs to support enquiries, forms, richer content or connected follow-up.
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?
Website cost depends on more than the number of pages. The amount of planning, content, imagery, forms, integrations and ongoing support all affect the work involved and the final scope.
-
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 a practical 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; ownership should stay in the business name.
-
Hosting
A reliable service where site files live and are delivered to browsers, paired with sane renewals and support you can reach.
-
Domain Name System (DNS) setup
The records that tell the internet where your site, email and security certificates should point. When something "random" breaks, DNS and certificates are common places to check first.
-
Pages and content
Structure, wording and imagery organised so visitors understand what you do and what should happen next.
-
Forms
Fields that capture the detail your team actually needs, not just an email address trapped in thread history.
-
Analytics
Light, privacy-conscious visibility into which pages visitors use: enough to improve the site without over-building dashboards.
-
Search Engine Optimisation basics
Sensible on-page wording and technical signals so search engines can understand pages. That helps discovery; we do not sell fixed ranking promises.
-
Maintenance and handover
A written handover covering logins, who renews hosting and Domain Name System (DNS) records, backups where relevant, safe change habits, plus optional ongoing support.
Brochure site or enquiry-ready website?
Both can look professional. The difference is what the website needs to do for your business. A brochure site mainly explains what you offer. An enquiry-ready website also helps the right visitors take the next step and gives your team a clearer way to handle what comes in.
Basic brochure website
Basic brochure website
A credible professional presence when the main job is to explain the business clearly.
- Clear pages explaining what you do.
- Straightforward contact route.
- Fewer moving parts when enquiry handling already works elsewhere.
Enquiry-ready website
Enquiry-ready website
A website that also helps generate, capture and hand over useful enquiries.
- Clear calls to action on the pages visitors use.
- Forms that collect useful information before your team responds.
- A clearer handoff into email, CRM or follow-up processes where required.
Other ways businesses build websites
DIY builder: Lowest cost, but it depends on your time and ability to plan the structure, copy and enquiry journey.
Template site: A quick starting point that may still need work to fit your business, content and customer journey.
Freelancer or agency: Can be a good fit; quality, process, support and commercial understanding vary, so compare the fit carefully.

Explore Articles & GuidesWhat happens after launch?
A website is easier to manage when responsibilities are clear from the start. The amount of ongoing care depends on how the site is built, how often it changes and who is looking after the basics.
Static website
Fewer moving parts and usually simpler to maintain when content changes are occasional.
- Small content updates when needed.
- Form, hosting, domain and DNS checks still need clear ownership.
- A good fit when the site does not need frequent admin changes.
CMS / editable website
More flexible for regular content changes, but the extra moving parts need ongoing care.
- Software and security updates need managing.
- Backups, performance and form testing need clear ownership.
- Useful when your team genuinely needs to edit the site regularly.
What is normally 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 normally outside scope?
- Open-ended “build anything” work 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.
-
PAGES & CONTENT
Define what you say, who it's for, and how it should be used.
-
CONTACT PATH
Make it easy for the right people to get in touch or take the next step.
-
USEFUL FORMS
Collect the right details in the right way, without friction.
-
HANDOVER YOU CAN USE
Logins, routes and a short guide so you can run with confidence.
-
ONGOING CARE
Keep the website working, current and clear after launch.
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.
-
Clarify the job
Who the site is for, what they should do next, and what you can realistically maintain day to day.
-
Design for reading first
Clear type, simple structure, and practical guidance on imagery (no novelty for its own sake).
-
Build with handover in mind
Editing routes, where logins live, and a short, usable handover your team can follow.
-
Connect follow-up on purpose
If enquiries need to reach the right person or system, that is planned into scope from the start, not squeezed in as a last-minute add-on.
Not sure what you need first?
You do not need to have the whole answer before you start. Choose the level of commitment that fits where you are now.

Common questions
How much does a website cost?
Website builds start from £495. The right route depends on the pages, content, enquiry handling and connected follow-up your business needs.
How long does a website build take?
It depends on the agreed scope, how ready the content is and how quickly decisions can be made. We agree the practical plan before work starts.
Can you help with the wording and structure?
Yes. We can help shape the message, page structure and next step so the site is clearer for visitors and easier for your team to use.
Can I update the website myself?
Yes, where the chosen build supports it. We explain what you can safely change and provide a practical handover.
What happens to my current domain or hosting?
Your domain remains with your business. We can work with hosting you already use or help align a simple setup, including the DNS changes needed before launch.
Can forms connect to email or CRM?
They can, where that is part of the agreed scope. We size the form and handoff around what your team can actually reply to and manage.
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.
