You've got a business to run

A website that actually looks like yours

Your business deserves a professional online presence — but you're not a website designer, and you haven't got time to become one. DIY builders like Wix and Squarespace are a whole learning curve you don't need.

ownsite.co.uk is the simple, affordable way to set up a website in the UK — from a quick one-pager to a full custom business website with admin panel. We build custom websites for small businesses, live in days, not months.

Simple, no matter which plan

How it works

Three plans, one easy process. Here's what happens after you choose.

One-Page Site — £99/yr

Use our wizard to build it yourself in minutes, or choose "Lee builds it" and send us your content. Either way, you'll preview and approve before it goes live.

Full Managed Site — £249/yr

Pick your industry template and your site spins up instantly — complete with a full admin panel. Set up your branding, content, services and more yourself. Lee personally reviews every site and will customise anything that needs it.

Fully Custom — Bespoke

Get in touch, we'll have a proper conversation about what you need. Lee designs and builds it from scratch, refining until it's exactly right.

1

Choose your plan

One-pager, full managed site, or fully custom. Pick the one that fits and pay securely via Stripe.

2

Set up your site

One-pagers: use our wizard or send us your content. Full sites: your admin panel is ready immediately — start adding your branding, services and content.

SEO that actually works (and won't bankrupt you)

Your site is built. Now help Google find it. Most "cheap SEO" out there is smoke and mirrors — here's what real SEO actually means and what we do about it.

JOB 1

Make sure Google can read your site

Sitemap submitted to Google, no broken pages, fast loading, mobile-friendly, robots.txt set up properly. The technical foundations.

JOB 2

Tell Google what each page is about

Page titles, meta descriptions, headings, image alt text, schema.org markup — written for humans first, search engines second.

JOB 3

Help Google trust you exist locally

Google Business Profile properly set up, consistent name/address/phone across your site, ready for local searches like "florist near me".

JOB 4

Verify everything actually worked

Connected to Google Search Console — real data, not screenshots. We can prove what we did and you can see it for yourself, any time.

✓ Why we can do it for less

  • We built your site — we can fix on-page SEO directly, no waiting on a separate dev to make changes.
  • UK-based, real human — email Lee directly, get an answer same-day in plain English.
  • Real Google Search Console data — not made-up reports designed to look impressive.
  • One payment. Done. — no monthly lock-ins, no rolling contracts, no "minimum 6 months".

✗ Red flags from cheap SEO sellers

  • "Page 1 in 30 days" promises — nobody honest can guarantee this.
  • "1,000 backlinks for £50" — Google has penalised this since 2012.
  • Monthly reports full of jargon like "Domain Authority +0.3" — meaningless.
  • 6 or 12 month minimum contracts — locks you in before any results show.

  • ✓Site verified in Google Search Console

  • ✓Schema.org structured data (unlocks rich Google results)
  • ✓Open Graph + Twitter Card tags (proper previews when shared)
  • ✓robots.txt + canonical URLs set up correctly
  • ✓Step-by-step Google Business Profile setup guide (Google requires you personally to receive a verification postcard — we make the rest stupid-easy)

Done within a week of payment. No subscription. No upsells. If you want to grow further later, we can talk — but you'll never need to come back unless you want to.

The honest comparison

Not a DIY builder. Not a £5,000 custom build.

Something better than both.

Ownsite is genuinely a fantastic service that’s allowed me to really easily put together a personal portfolio site that’s feels bespoke and looks leagues better than other people’s online portfolios that have been custom built by a designer. I fully recommend this service especially considering how affordable it is

My previous Wordpress website was in much need of an overhaul, which would have taken countless hours to do. Ownsite's solution has saved me that time and given me a far better looking website all for a very good price indeed. I'm absolutely amazed and would recommend this to anyone in need of a website on a small budget.

Ownsite redid my website and has done a fantastic job. They have been brilliant to deal with, very professional, and the cost has been really great, especially for small businesses. 100% would recommend them. Teh entire process was easy and very smooth to deal with. Excellent job!

"I approached Lee & Colin from Ownsite with a request to create my own website. In a day I was up online with exactly what I had in mind! It was so fast and detailed that it was like they knew exactly what I wanted and more! Thank you so much."

"Ownsite were brilliant from start to finish. They understood the brief of what I was after and had the website up and running in no time at all. They were very responsive when I asked for a few changes. I'm so grateful to this company for giving me a great website! Highly recommend this company"

"As a beneficiary of Lee's tech talents, I can 100% vouch for his engagement in your project and precise attention to detail. After a tentative enquiry about the possibility of building me a basic web page for my radio show during a purely social chat, Lee went away and a couple of days later I had a fully functioning bespoke Website up and running. I was blown away and continue to be more than happy with my product. Genuinely can't recommend Lee enough."

"Our old website was tired and dated. We needed a fresh, clean and modern look. The guys at Ownsite.co.uk nailed it in record time. Lee and Colin are the dream team that brought this together with no fuss. 5 Star effort!"

I cannot recommend ;Lee and the gang enough thank you so much in the very short time since I went live, I’ve already had new enquiries booked! utterly fantastic service professional and visually stunning work!"

"I came to Lee for help building a website after being made redundant and deciding to set up on my own. I felt quite overwhelmed at first and wasn’t sure where to begin, especially as I wanted something modern, fresh, and easy to use across all devices. I’ve always preferred websites that are clear and straightforward, without having to hunt around for information. Lee couldn’t have been more helpful. He really listened to what I wanted and took the time to understand my business and what I was trying to achieve. He was also very patient and happy to tweak things until everything was just right. The service was excellent from start to finish, and I’m so pleased with the final result. After what has been a stressful time, I now feel much more confident and excited to begin this new chapter with my business. Thank you, Lee!"

"Oh my goodness!! I started up a new business and needed a website but had no idea where to start. I’m good at what it is that I do but building a website was a complete minefield. Then I found ownsite.co.uk and it was an absolute game changer for me. It looks professional, is fully customisable and most importantly, easy to navigate for my customers as well as for me. I have a built in admin area where I can update all my offers - it could not be easier. It’s made such a difference to my business and took all the stress away from me! Thank you ownsite!!"
