Questions and answers

What is a static website?

It is a website made of ready-made pages, like a brochure that lives online. It shows your business, your services, photos of your work, the area you cover and how to contact you. It needs no database or server software of its own, so it has no logins, shop or booking system, and it costs little to host. Each site is built to load fast on a phone.

Do you build online booking, payments, shops, customer logins or apps?

No. We only build websites, and these are not part of the service. If you already use a booking or payment service, we can add a button to your site that takes customers to it.

Can you write the words for my site?

Yes. Tell us what you do, where you work and anything you want to mention, and we write the text. You check and approve it before it goes live. We never make up prices, reviews or opening hours. Those come from you.

What photos do I need, and what if I have no logo?

Photos of your own work are best, and phone photos are fine. Send five to ten and we optimise them for the site. We supply backgrounds and icons. If you have no logo we will make one. Your own logo always takes priority.

Can customers send me enquiries through the site?

Yes. The site has a contact or quote form, and enquiries go to one email address you name. The form has a filter that holds back unsolicited sales pitches. The site also has call and WhatsApp buttons.

Can the site be in Polish, or in two languages?

We work in English and Polish, and we have built a site in both languages. Ask us about a Polish or two-language site and we will confirm the details.

Can I edit the site myself?

There is no admin panel and nothing for you to maintain. You send us the change on WhatsApp and we make it. In the first calendar month after go-live that is part of polishing the site with you. After that, changes may be chargeable, and we agree the cost with you first.

How much does a website cost?

The demo is free and you are under no obligation. On your own domain the site is £9.99 a month, with no setup fee, no deposit and no minimum term. If the site stays on our beloved-websites.com address there is no monthly fee. The full breakdown is on the pricing page.

What does the £9.99 a month include?

A static website of one page or several on your own domain, hosting, HTTPS, backups, security patching, a contact form, call and WhatsApp buttons, and on-page SEO. In the first calendar month after go-live we polish the copy, colours, sections, photos and layout with you. It does not include booking, payments, shops, logins, apps, email accounts or adverts. We do not build those.

Is the free website really free?

Yes. The demo is free with no obligation. If you keep the site on our address, such as yourname.beloved-websites.com, there is no monthly fee while it stays there. A free site carries a small “Website by Beloved Websites” credit, and we may withdraw the free tier on reasonable notice. You can move to your own domain when you are ready.

What is the catch?

These are the limits. A free site stays on our address, carries a small credit, and the free tier can be withdrawn on reasonable notice. On your own domain it is £9.99 a month. After the first calendar month, content or design changes may be chargeable, and we agree the cost with you first. Moving an existing website is quoted separately. We do not build booking, payments, shops, logins, apps or email accounts. The site is built on our own design system, which stays ours, and if you leave you can ask for a static export of your site.

Why is it so cheap?

We sell one product and say no to work that takes a lot of hours: shops, booking systems, logins, email accounts and adverts. A static site is a set of ready-made files with no database or server software of its own, so it costs us little to host. We work to one written process, and everything happens on WhatsApp, with no meetings. Sites are built on our own design system, which stays ours. The price does not cover everything: after the first month changes may be chargeable and we agree the cost first, and moving an existing website is quoted separately.

When do I start paying, and how?

The demo costs nothing. The £9.99 a month starts when your site goes live on your own domain. It is billed monthly in advance, normally by Direct Debit. We send you a secure link to set it up, and we never take bank or card details by phone or in a chat. If you would rather skip the demo, tell us and we will confirm when payment starts.

Is there a contract?

There is no minimum term. The plan is monthly rolling, under our published terms. You can cancel any time by sending us a message, and it takes effect at the end of the month you have paid for.

What happens with changes after the first month?

For the first calendar month after go-live we polish the site with you. After that, content or design changes may be chargeable. We tell you the cost and agree it with you before we do the work. If something breaks, or we got something wrong, we fix it.

Do I need my own domain name?

Only for the £9.99 plan. If you have your own domain we use it, and it stays registered to you. We explain how to connect it to your new site, and we never ask for your passwords. If you do not have one, we can buy one on your behalf at cost, usually about £10 a year for a .co.uk.

Do you do SEO?

Yes. On-page SEO is part of every build: page titles, descriptions, structured data, a sitemap and image alt text. We do not promise a ranking, because nobody honest can guarantee a position.

Do you run Google Ads or other paid adverts?

No. We do not run adverts, and the £9.99 does not include them.

How does it work?

You send us your details and photos on WhatsApp. We build a free demo and send you the link. You look at it on your phone and we make your changes, with two rounds included. When you are happy, it goes live on your own domain. The steps are set out on the how it works page.

How long does it take?

Your demo is usually ready within about a week of us getting your details and photos. Going live after that depends on how quickly you check it and send your changes. What takes longest is waiting for photos and information, so the sooner those arrive, the sooner you are live.

What do you need from me?

The name of your business, the towns you cover, the phone number and email for the site, your list of services, five to ten photos of your work, your logo if you have one, and your Google reviews link. We send you the list on WhatsApp.

What if I do not like the demo?

Then we change it. Two rounds of changes are included before it goes live. If it is still not for you, you walk away and owe nothing.

Do we need to meet or have long calls?

No. Everything happens on WhatsApp, at your pace, so you can reply between jobs. You deal with our team on WhatsApp and by phone.

Can you move my Wix or WordPress site?

We can rebuild it as a static site. Moving an existing site is a separate job and we quote it first. Anything that runs on a server, such as a shop, a booking system or customer logins, is not something we build, so it does not come across.

Can you set up email on my domain?

No. We do not set up email accounts or mailboxes. We only build websites. If your email already works, we leave it as it is.

Who is Beloved Websites?

Beloved Websites is a small UK web studio. We build and host static websites for tradespeople and small local businesses, such as window cleaners, auto locksmiths, car valeters, decorators and builders. We work in English and Polish. You can see client sites on our work page.

How do I know I can trust you?

You pay nothing until you have seen your site and want it on your own domain. We never ask for passwords, there is no minimum term, and the limits are written down in our terms. Our rating is 5.0 from 17 reviews on Google (checked 2 October 2026).

Do I own the website?

The words, photos, logo and brand you give us stay yours. We design and host the site as part of the monthly plan, and the design system it is built on stays ours. If you leave, you can ask for a static export of your site: the published HTML, CSS and images.

What happens if I cancel?

The site is taken offline at the end of the month you have paid for. If you have your own domain it stays registered to you. You can ask us for a static export of the site to host elsewhere.
