Appointments booked while you work
Your site is a website with booking system: customers pick a service and a time. You confirm or move it by chat.
For shops, trades and local services
More local customers from a website for small business owners
Local customers find your services and hours, book an appointment or send an enquiry from their phone. We build, host and update the site. No technical skills needed.
Start the website that brings in local customers. Nothing to set up or learn; plan and price are shown before checkout.
Found by the people round the corner
Someone nearby searches for what you do tonight, while the shop is shut. A local business website that answers and takes the booking wins that customer.
The questions you answer ten times a day
Hours, address, parking, prices and what you do, on pages people read before they call.
Every enquiry lands somewhere
A contact form on every page. Ask the assistant what came in and it reads you the messages.
Change it from the van or the counter
Post holiday hours or add a service by telling the assistant. Every change is confirmed first.
Managed WordPress hosting and website maintenance, included
A website for local business should not need a technician. Yours runs on hosting we look after: updates, backups and security monitoring in every plan. Website maintenance is never your job.
Updates handled, nothing to click
WordPress, theme and plugin updates run automatically. Nothing goes out of date.
Backups, restored in one click
Backups run on their own. Take an extra one before a big change; restore any in one click.
Security that watches the shop
Security monitoring is on from day one. Ask the assistant for login protection, alerts or the latest scan results.
Domain and email that match the sign
Register a domain or connect the one on your van. DNS, SSL and email forwarding are set up for you.
Small business website design that looks like your shop front
Pick a look for your trade, clean and practical or warm and personal. Switch later by chat.

Three steps to open for business online
Step 1
Describe your business
A sentence or two about what you do and where. The wizard turns it into pages, a design and a domain.
Step 2
Check the plan and price
Pages, design, domain, plan and price are shown before checkout. Nothing is final until you say so.
Step 3
Go live and get found
Built after checkout and typically live in minutes. Tell the assistant your hours and services; no editor to learn.
No technical skills needed, whatever your trade
An easy website builder still leaves you learning its editor, adding booking and keeping the site updated. Here there is nothing to set up, learn or maintain.
Typical website builder
- You learn an editor and build every page
- Booking, forms and updates are your job
- When it breaks, you find out from a customer
SimpleWP
- Pages written for your business, booking in place
- Hosting, updates, backups and monitoring handled
- Ask in plain words; every change is confirmed first
Your domain, your content and a standard WordPress website stay yours.
Questions local business owners ask
What should a local business website include?
What you do, where you are, when you are open, what it costs and a way to book or ask without calling.
Do I need technical skills or a web person?
No, neither. Ask for changes in plain words; every change is confirmed first and we set up, update and watch the site.
How much does a website for small business owners cost?
You see the full price before checkout; it depends on the plan. Hosting, updates, backups and security monitoring are included in all of them.
Can customers book or ask for a quote online?
Yes. Tell the assistant your services and hours; customers book from the site and a quote form sits on every page.
I already have a site. Can I move it?
Yes. Connect your current site and it is moved onto managed hosting; the original is untouched until you switch.
How quickly can it be live?
Minutes after checkout, typically. Your services and hours go in by chat the same day.
Is this WordPress hosting, and does my domain stay mine?
Yes to both. Your site is a standard WordPress website on hosting we manage, and your domain stays yours.
Are updates and backups included?
Yes, in every plan: automatic updates, backups with one-click restore and security monitoring. Website maintenance is never an extra line.
