Why I'm Offering Top-Level Websites for £19.99/Month — And Why UK Agencies Hate It
The average cost of a small business website in the UK right now is between £3,000 and £5,000.
For a basic five-page site. No AI. No CRM. No ongoing support. Just a few pages and a handshake.
If you are a startup founder, a tradesperson, or a small business owner just getting going — that number is not just expensive. It is a barrier. It locks people out. And nobody in this industry seems to care.
I decided to fix that. My name is Iraj, and I built InstaWebsite to offer affordable website design to UK small businesses — for £19.99 a month.
The Problem Nobody Was Fixing
I have spent years building digital systems for businesses. Through that work, I kept hearing the same thing from tradespeople, salon owners, personal trainers, tutors, photographers, and every type of local service provider you can think of.
"I got quoted £3,000 for a website. I have not even made my first sale yet."
"I paid £2,000 and got something I cannot even update myself."
"I just searched for a cheap website in the UK and everything is either a DIY builder or a dodgy template."
The web design industry has a pricing problem. Agencies charge thousands because their model demands it — office rent, account managers, project managers, slow back-and-forth processes. The technology to build a great website no longer costs what it used to. But the prices have not come down. The margin agencies charge is not for your benefit. It is for theirs.
So I Built InstaWebsite
InstaWebsite is not a template. It is not a DIY builder where you drag and drop things yourself at midnight after a long day of actual work.
It is a fully managed, professionally designed website built on Next.js — one of the fastest frameworks in the world. You get:
- Up to 10 custom-designed pages, fully mobile responsive
- A free .co.uk domain included
- Zero upfront cost. £19.99 a month. That is it.
- A 10-day free trial after launch so you can see it working before you pay a penny
Compare that to Wix or Squarespace, which cost £100 to £800 a year — and you still have to build the whole thing yourself with no support.
What You Actually Get for £19.99
This is not a stripped-down budget offering. This is what every client gets:
- **Felix AI Chatbot** — 24/7 AI-powered customer support, lead capture, and appointment booking built right into your site
- Bespoke backend and CRM — custom admin panels tailored to your business type, whether that is booking management, order tracking, or job scheduling
- Managed hosting — 99.9% uptime, daily automated backups, SSL encryption, and security monitoring
- SEO, AEO, and GEO audits — your site is optimised not just for Google, but for AI search engines and answer engines too
- Agent-ready architecture — Schema.org markup, JSON-LD, and llms.txt files so AI tools can find and recommend your business
- No contracts — cancel anytime with 30 days notice
That is more than most agencies include in a £5,000 package. And we do it for less than the cost of a coffee a day.
"How Is That Even Possible?"
I get asked this a lot. The answer is simple: we built InstaWebsite as an AI-native company from day one.
No glass offices. No bloated teams. No slow processes. AI agents handle the heavy lifting in implementation, which means we pass those savings directly to you.
Here is the reality of UK website pricing right now:
- Freelancers charge £1,500 to £3,000
- Small agencies charge £3,000 to £6,000
- E-commerce sites cost £5,000 to £20,000+
- Most basic five-page websites start at £1,000 plus VAT
We are the only company in the UK offering this level of service — custom design, AI chatbot, CRM, managed hosting, SEO — at £19.99 a month with nothing upfront. Nobody else is doing this. Not at this price. Not at this quality.
Our Clients Are Thriving
The feedback from our clients has been incredible. Across trades and local services, we are seeing the same patterns:
- Plumbers and electricians who had no online presence are now getting enquiries daily
- Salon owners who were losing bookings to competitors with better sites are now fully booked
- Personal trainers and tutors who looked amateur online now have a professional presence that converts
- Photographers and driving instructors are reaching customers they never could before
We have built sites for hundreds of UK businesses and our client rating sits at 4.9 out of 5. The reason is simple — we deliver more than people expect, and we do it fast. Your initial page goes live within 24 hours.
This Is Just the Beginning
InstaWebsite is powered by Codemind LTD, and we are just getting started. Over the next 12 months we are scaling across the UK, expanding Felix AI with even more automation capabilities, and building industry-specific packages for different trades and services.
Every site we build is not just ready for today — it is ready for the future. Agent-ready architecture means your business is discoverable not just by Google, but by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and every AI search tool that is reshaping how people find services.
The small business website market in the UK is broken. We are fixing it. One £19.99 site at a time.
