Custom built, fast, and made to be found. Every site ships with SEO and GEO built in, so real customers and AI assistants both put you first.

Independent web development, done properly.

I'm Louis, a business and entrepreneurship student based in Camberley, Surrey. I build websites for small businesses who want more than a template. What started in a single university module is now my main focus.

Most local businesses get stuck between cheap templates that all look the same and agencies that price them out. My work sits between the two: custom built, fast, and made for what your business actually needs.

Questions, answered plainly.

How much does a website cost?

A one off build is £150 for a single page website, £300 for a five page website, and £400 for a five page website with e-commerce. You own the site once it is built.

Is there a monthly fee?

Only if you want one. The optional care plan is £25 a month and covers hosting, security, SSL, backups, uptime monitoring, minor edits, and ongoing SEO and GEO upkeep. It is not required, and you own your site either way.

What is GEO, and is it included?

GEO is generative engine optimisation: structuring your site so AI assistants like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity can find, understand, and recommend your business. Every site I build includes both SEO and GEO as standard.

Do I own my website?

Yes. You pay once to build it and the site is yours. You also register and own your own domain name, which costs around £10 to £15 a year.

Who do you work with, and where are you based?

I am Louis Bates, an independent web developer based in Camberley, Surrey. I build websites for UK small businesses such as cafés, salons, tradespeople, consultants, and local independents.
