A trust-building layout for a firm where clients want to feel reassured before they even call.

Bold & energetic
A five-page site built around a carpenter's set-out line: confident type, sharp rules and a restrained workshop palette without the usual trade-site clichés.
View the site The Ashcombe
Premium & sophisticated
Near-black, wide letter-spacing and full-bleed photography, built so twelve rooms feel considered rather than merely expensive.
View the site Fernrow Garden Design
Natural & organic
Deep greens, curved edges and a deliberately staggered gallery, for a practice that designs for year six rather than the launch photo.
View the site Aurelia Jewellery
Premium & sophisticated
Black and gold on a dark ground, for a brand that wants every page to feel like an unboxing.
View the site Linden Dental
Modern & minimal
Enormous light type and a published fee list, for a practice whose whole pitch is that nothing here is hidden from you.

Yes. There is no contract and no notice period. Cancel from your billing page and your site stays live until the end of the paid month plus seven days.
About WebHostGB
Small business websites and web hosting from a UK company
We’re a small UK company that does two things: we build and look after websites for small businesses, and we sell web hosting and domain names to people who’d rather run their own site.
Website design for small businesses, £47 a month
Our managed website is for owners who want a good website without having to build or update it themselves. Think of a plumber in Shrewsbury, a café in Ludlow or an accountant who’s been meaning to sort the website out for years. You order online, tell us about the business on a short call or a questionnaire, and we design the site and write every page. The first draft is commonly ready the same day, and most sites are live in 2 to 3 working days.
The £47 a month covers hosting, an SSL certificate, backups, security monitoring, your domain name, email forwarding, contact forms, help with reviews and your Google Business Profile, an articles section and 10 changes a month. There’s no setup fee and no contract. See the pricing page for the full list, or how it works for each step.
Web hosting UK: cPanel and WordPress plans
If you build your own sites, our cPanel web hosting starts at £2.99 a month and our WordPress hosting at £3.99 a month. Both run on servers in Manchester data centres, with Imunify360 security, JetBackup backups every six hours, free Let’s Encrypt SSL and free migration from your current host. Hosting plans come with a 60-day money-back guarantee.
Domain names
You can register or transfer a domain with us: .co.uk, .uk and .org.uk are £8.01 a year and .com is £12.72 a year.
Not sure where to start? Ask for a free website review and we’ll tell you what we’d change.
