Frequentlyaskedquestions

We build websites, provide SEO, design AI automations, map AI workflows, develop custom business software, and offer IT consultancy for UK SMEs. Everything is built around your operational needs. We do not force a predetermined technology stack on you.

Typical SME websites range from £3,000 to £15,000 depending on pages, features, and design complexity. A simple brochure site sits at the lower end; e-commerce or custom functionality pushes toward the higher end. See our full website cost guide for a detailed breakdown.

Internal tools and dashboards typically start around £15,000. Full business platforms range from £40,000 to £100,000+ depending on user count, integrations, and complexity. We break projects into phases so you see value before spending the full amount.

A single AI assistant or automation workflow typically costs between £5,000 and £25,000 depending on integrations and complexity. Workflow design and build projects range from £8,000 to £35,000. Monthly maintenance retainers start from £500.

Most projects take 4 to 8 weeks from kickoff to launch. Complex sites with custom functionality may take 10 to 12 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline during the proposal phase.

Internal systems typically take 8 to 16 weeks. Complex platforms can take 4 to 6 months. We deliver in phases so you get a working system quickly. New features get added as we go.

Yes. We connect with most major CRMs, accounting software, and third-party APIs. If your tool has an API or supports webhooks, we can integrate it into your website or internal system.

A 30-minute video call where we look at what's frustrating you and what tech you're using. After the call, we send you a short written summary with practical recommendations. No obligation. No hard sell.

Yes. We offer maintenance retainers and ad-hoc support for all projects. Retainers cover updates, security patches, performance monitoring, and minor changes.

If your process is standard and your team is small, buy. If your workflow is unique, spreadsheets are breaking, and off-the-shelf tools force awkward workarounds, build custom. Our consultancy service can help you decide.

If multiple people maintain different versions, data entry takes hours weekly, reporting is always out of date, or errors are causing real problems, you have outgrown spreadsheets.

Workflow automation moves data and tasks between your apps without manual copying. If your team does repetitive data entry or chases status updates, automation will save hours every week.

Property management, professional services (accountants, consultants), construction and trades, healthcare, and operations-heavy SMEs. We know the rules and the day-to-day problems these sectors face.

Yes. Every website we build is optimised for search as standard. We also offer ongoing SEO retainers for businesses that want to improve rankings and organic traffic over time.
