Websites

Practical websites for service businesses that need clearer enquiries.

A CPDS website is built to make the first impression easier to trust: clear services, useful proof, mobile-first pages and enquiry paths people can follow without friction.

For trades, local services and small teams that need a website to explain the work, build trust and make the next step obvious.
Service-business websites

Clearer first impression, stronger enquiry path.

Most service websites do not need agency theatre. They need to explain the business quickly, show enough trust, and help the right person call, message, book or send the right enquiry.

01

Explain the work

Service pages make it clear what you do, where you work, who it is for, and what a good enquiry looks like.

02

Build practical trust

Reviews, examples, accreditations, Google presence and plain proof are used where they help a visitor feel safer taking the next step.

03

Make enquiries easier

Calls, forms, booking links and message routes are placed around how customers actually decide, not buried at the bottom of the page.

04

Keep the build grounded

Mobile layout, domains, forms, basic search setup, analytics and handover are treated as part of the job, not afterthoughts.

Website options

Choose the practical route for where the business is now.

Start small if you need a clear first step. Build more structure if services, trust signals and enquiry flow need more room. Pay upfront for the lower long-term cost, or monthly if a lower starting cost matters more.

Pricing route

Upfront pricing covers the build itself and usually works out cheaper over time.

Upfront route: You pay for the website build first, so it works out cheaper long-term. Hosting/admin for CPDS-managed websites is £120/year if no care package is selected.

Practical build checklist

Every route is scoped around the pieces that make enquiries easier.

Each build is kept plain-English and yours to keep. You know what is included, what is separate, and what can wait.

Mobile-first page structure
Service and customer-fit copy
Trust and proof sections
Contact, call or booking route
Basic search and Google pointers
Domain, forms, launch and handover
After launch

Keep the site working and improving after launch.

Website Care keeps CPDS-managed sites updated, checked and tidy as the business changes — small updates and minor support handled for you. Optional, and separate from the monthly build plan.

Essential From £39 per month for light support and small updates.
Plus From £69 per month for more update time and improvement support.
Hosting/admin only From £120 per year if no care plan is active.

Process

A simple build process.

The work starts with the business, not a template. The message, structure and enquiry route are agreed before the site is built.

    Services, customers, trust signals and the main enquiry route.

  2. 02Structure

    Pages, sections, copy and calls to action mapped before build.

  3. 03Build

    A clean mobile-first website reviewed against the agreed scope.

  4. 04Launch

    Domain, forms, basic checks, handover and optional care if needed.

FAQ

Website FAQs

How much does a website cost?
Starter Website / Landing Page starts from £295 upfront or £39/month + £99 setup. Business Website starts from £495 upfront or £49/month + £149 setup. Online Store starts from £795 upfront or £79/month + £299 setup. Final cost depends on the agreed scope.
What is the difference between a Starter Website / Landing Page and a Business Website?
A Starter Website / Landing Page is one clear page or focused launch site. A Business Website gives more room for service structure, trust sections, credibility signals, and a stronger enquiry journey.
What is included as standard?
Every website package includes clear page structure, mobile-friendly design, plain-English copy support, a contact or enquiry route, basic on-page SEO setup, trust and credibility sections, launch support and practical handover.
Can I edit the website myself?
Yes. If self-editing is important, CPDS can recommend or support a suitable platform. If you prefer not to edit the site, Website Care can cover regular small updates for CPDS-managed websites.
What is the difference between a CPDS-managed website and a platform website?
A CPDS-managed website is better when you want a clean site without regularly editing it yourself. A platform website is better when you need to update content, products, bookings, or pages often. CPDS will recommend the practical route based on your needs and budget.
Can you help with an online store?
Yes. Online Store starts from £795 for simple stores using a suitable platform. More complex ecommerce, custom checkout, large catalogues, unusual shipping rules, integrations or headless builds are scoped separately.
Are platform fees included?
No. Platform subscription fees, payment processing fees, paid apps, themes, plugins and third-party tools are paid directly by the client unless agreed separately. CPDS pricing covers the scoped setup and build work.
Do you provide hosting or care?
Yes. Website Care includes hosting/admin for CPDS-managed websites. If no care plan is active, CPDS-managed hosting/admin starts from £120/year. Larger changes are quoted separately.
Is SEO included?
Basic on-page SEO setup is included in the listed website packages. Deeper SEO campaigns, content plans, technical SEO projects or ongoing search work can be scoped separately if needed.
Should I get the free audit or the homepage mockup?
Choose the free audit if you already have a website and want to know what could be improved. Choose the homepage mockup if you are considering a new website or a major refresh and want to apply for a possible visual direction.
How do I know what I need?
Start with an enquiry or a free website audit if you already have a site. CPDS will point you towards the simplest option that fits the problem, even if that means starting smaller.
