Frame Empire

Websites built first, paid once, yours for ever.

We build the preview in 24 to 48 hours and nothing is paid until you approve it. Each round of changes comes back within 24 to 48 hours, and the site is live within 3 working days of your final approval and payment. One payment, no monthly fee for the site itself, and the domain and hosting are on us for the first year, then Hosted from £15 a month.

Frame Empire Ltd is not VAT registered, so no VAT is added. Full terms on the Terms page.

Your Google Business Profile (the map listing), directory listings and reviews sit outside the website, so no website includes them. Get Found Local sets them up for £295, once.

On every website we build

The same on the £650 site as on the £1,850 one. None of it needs your logins.

  • We never need your passwords

    We do not ask for your logins and we do not go into your accounts. We build it, you look at it, we put it live.

  • Nothing to hack

    No database, no admin login, no plugins going out of date. The sites that get broken into are the ones with a login page, and yours does not have one, unless it takes bookings online: then the bookings need a secure place to live and you need a login to see them.

  • Locked down by default

    HTTPS that renews itself, and headers that stop your site being framed, injected into or sniffed.

  • Stays up, and backed up

    Served from a global network rather than one shared box, watched for downtime and backed up. If it goes down or shows a wrong phone number we fix it the same day.

  • Enquiries in, spam out

    Your form reaches your email and WhatsApp. The junk is filtered before it gets to you.

  • Fast enough for Google

    Built to pass Core Web Vitals, Google's own measures: loading in under 2.5 seconds, responding in under 200 milliseconds, and not jumping about as it loads.

  • Usable by everyone

    Built to WCAG 2.2 AA: contrast you can read, works by keyboard, works with a screen reader, every form field labelled. That is the standard your duty under the Equality Act is measured against.

  • No cookie banner

    Our analytics use no cookies, so there is nothing for your customers to click away before they can read anything.

Four steps, and the first three cost nothing.

  1. Nothing to pay Tell us about your business

    A short form, then a quick call so we know which tier fits and what to put on the site.

  2. Preview in 24 to 48 hours

    A real website to look at on your phone, built around your business, within 24 to 48 hours of that call.

  3. Approve it

    Want changes? Tell us. Happy? Say so. Not for you? Walk away owing nothing.

  4. You pay here Pay once, go live

    One payment once you have approved the final version, then it goes live on your domain within 3 working days. If your domain is with another company, we need access to it first. Files, content and domain are yours.

A website nobody finds is a leaflet in a drawer.

Building it and being found are two different jobs. The second one is mostly your Google Business Profile, the words on your pages and whether Google has been told you exist. We do that as its own piece of work, on your site or on somebody else's.

Found you, rang you, and nobody picked up.

The website did its job and the phone undid it. Our AI receptionist answers every call on the first ring, day and night, takes the name, the number and what they need, and texts you a summary before they have put their phone down. Take it with a website and the setup fee is waived.

After the first year: kept live, and kept current.

Year one

Domain and hosting included, nothing to pay.

Then you pick one
  • HostedWe keep it online. No changes.
  • A Care planWe make the changes for you.
  • Your own hostingTake the site and go. It is yours.

We tell you in month 11, not as a surprise.

PlanPer monthWhat it is
Hosted£15Domain renewal, hosting, SSL, backups, uptime monitoring, form delivery. No changes. Or £150 a year.
Care£45Hosted plus up to 3 small changes a month, within 2 working days.
Care Plus£95Hosted plus up to 8 small changes a month, next working day, and a monthly summary of enquiries.
Managed£195Care Plus plus up to 2 hours of change work a month, same day where possible, and a named contact.

A small change is one request that takes under 30 minutes: text, prices, photos, opening hours, a new team member. New pages, sections and redesigns are quoted. A site that is down or showing a wrong phone number is fixed the same day on every plan, and with no plan. Care plans run for at least three months, then month to month with 30 days' notice; take Care with your website and the first 3 months are free (bundles). Full detail on the Pricing page.

The things people ask before they trust us.

What is the catch?

There is not one. We build the site, you look at it, and if you do not want it you owe nothing and we part on good terms. We take that risk because it is much easier to say yes to a real site you can already see than to a promise of one.

What if I do not like it?

You pay nothing and walk away. No cancellation fee, no invoice for our time, no awkward conversation. That is the whole promise.

What happens after I fill in the form?

We ring you back, agree which tier fits, and build your website. You get a link to look at, within 24 to 48 hours of our call, once we have what we need from you. Tell us what you think and we adjust it. Nothing is owed at that point and you are under no obligation to go ahead.

Are there monthly fees?

Not for the website itself. You pay once and own it. Domain and hosting are included for the first year; after that the site needs somewhere to live, which is the Hosted plan at £15 a month (or £150 a year), a Care plan if you want changes made for you, or your own hosting if you would rather move it.

I am not technical. Is that a problem?

Not at all. You tell us about your business in plain English and we handle everything else, including the domain and hosting setup.

How long does it take?

Usually 24 to 48 hours to a preview you can look at; the clock starts on our call, once we have what we need from you. Each round of changes comes back within 24 to 48 hours, and the site is live within 3 working days of your final approval and payment. If your domain is with another company, we need access to it first. If you come back to us quickly, about a week from yes to live is realistic, but we do not promise it.

See it before you spend anything.

Tell us about your business and we will build your website. Look at it, then decide.
