For new UK small businesses
I'm Mark. I help people starting new businesses look as professional online as they are in person. One monthly fee. No setup cost. Just mine to worry about — not yours.
I reply personally, within two working days.
What I sort out
No seven tabs open, no monthly round of tiny invoices, no learning seven admin panels. All of this, set up properly and looked after by one person.
Designed around your work — warm, readable, fast, accessible. Built to convert enquiries, not just to look pretty.
In your bio, on your door, at the bottom of an email. Clients choose a time, get a confirmation, get a reminder. No phone tag.
Nobody taking @gmail.com bookings looks like a going concern. You get proper addresses (you@yourbusiness.co.uk) and I look after the admin.
Digital, signed, stored. Templates ready to adapt to your line of work — or bring your own and I'll wire them up.
Capture sign-ups from your pages. Send when it makes sense. Never because a platform told you to.
So you know what's working. Privacy-friendly — no intrusive cookie banners, no selling visitor data, no tracking across the internet.
What most people end up doing
Most new businesses discover this six months in, the hard way. Here are the real UK 2026 prices — the tools you'd probably buy, what they cost, and how much of your time disappears into them.
Typical UK solo business, month one

Plus, to actually get set up:
Year one, realistically:
£1,200+ in subscriptions,
£3,000–8,000 in one-offs,
and 60–130 of your hours.
Launchpad tier
One bill. One person to ask if anything’s not right.
Year one:
£1,788 total.
No setup fees.
Your hours back.
Steady-state price is £149/mo. First 20 clients get a launch rate of £129/mo. Prices ex-VAT. Figures above are typical mid-market UK retail prices at the time of writing — you can get cheaper, and you can get much more expensive.
How it works
Quick call, or a form — whichever suits. You tell me what you do, who you serve, where you are. I come back within two working days with a proposal and a clear price.
You answer a short set of questions and review drafts. I handle brand, pages, booking, email, e-signatures, analytics — the lot. Most clients are live within a fortnight.
You call or message me when you need anything. Updates, new pages, a new signature template, a tricky enquiry — all on one number. You just get on with your work.
Pricing
All tiers include the whole setup. The difference is how much of the ongoing content and strategy I handle for you.
launch rate — steady £149/mo
Everything set up, looked after, one monthly fee.
launch rate — steady £249/mo
Launchpad, with help putting content out regularly.
launch rate — steady £599/mo
I interview you. Your voice, your words, polished and published.
No setup fee. Cancel with three months' notice after the first year. All prices ex-VAT.
Client story
Mark took care of everything — the online side, the bookings, the emails. I just had to show up and do my work. That's exactly what I needed.
— Morven Taylor, running Tailored Hypnotherapy
Morven was the first client. A working hypnotherapist in Scotland who needed to be findable, bookable, and look the part — without spending her week wrangling admin panels.

Available on any tier, or as a standalone. I script and direct; a trusted partner videographer or photographer handles the shoot. The output is yours.
A proper short film about your work — scripted after a conversation with me, shot by a partner videographer. One flagship piece for your homepage plus 5–10 short clips for social. You'd struggle to do this yourself without it transforming how people feel about your business.
Partner photographer, my brief. 20–50 edited images — for your pages, social, directory profiles. Not stock photos of strangers: your work, your hands, your space.
Video and stills the same day. Most efficient if you want both. One shoot, two deliverables.
For new businesses: brand identity + Brand Story Video bundled into Launchpad onboarding. The full "looks-like-it-costs-ten-times-this" set.
Who I work with
Therapists and counsellors. Coaches and hypnotherapists. Residents' groups and community organisations. Photographers, consultants, accountants, creatives. If I don't think I can help you, I'll tell you.
I deliberately keep the variety wide. Five therapy sites start to look the same; a therapy practice next to a residents' group next to a photographer force every project to find its own voice. That makes every piece of work better.
Get started
Tell me a little about your business and I'll come back within two working days with a tailored recommendation and a clear price. No sales call unless you want one.
