A much bigger project than a typical small business site, and Nick handled it brilliantly. Multiple pages, interactive guides, the lot. Fast, well built, and he understood exactly what we needed as a technology consultancy. Couldn’t be happier with the result.

Nick at Page Forge built our site in under a week. It looks proper professional and we’ve started getting enquiries from the website itself. Straight-talking, no nonsense, just gets on with it.

Why Page Forge

Why pay a fortune for WordPress?

Lots of local businesses are locked into slow, fragile WordPress sites that cost a small fortune to build and never stop needing attention. There’s a better way.

A typical WordPress build

  • cancel £1,000–£3,000+ upfront, then ongoing dev bills
  • cancel Slow to load, bloated themes and plugins
  • cancel Constant updates; breaks when a plugin changes
  • cancel Security holes you’re left to manage
  • cancel Weeks of back-and-forth before you’re live
  • cancel You’re on your own when something breaks

The Page Forge way

  • check_circle £99 setup + £29/month, everything included
  • check_circle Hand-built to load fast and rank well
  • check_circle Nothing for you to update or maintain
  • check_circle Secure by design, no plugins to patch
  • check_circle Live within days, not weeks
  • check_circle A real person in Sussex to call any time

Thinking of switching? Here’s the full case for a simpler WordPress alternative.

FAQ

Common questions

Everything you might want to know before getting in touch.

How much does a small business website cost?
Page Forge websites start at a £99 one-off setup fee plus £29 a month, or £299 a year if you pay annually (two months free). That includes the website, your .co.uk domain, UK hosting, SSL and six content updates a year, no hidden costs.
How can a proper website cost £99?
There is no WordPress stack to keep alive, no account-manager chain, and no hours billed for fighting plugins. Nick has been doing this work for twenty years, and uses modern tools, including AI, to draft and build faster. The decisions are still his. You get a hand-coded site, a published price, and someone who answers the phone. That is a different model from a WordPress house or a Wix editor you have to live in.
How quickly can my website go live?
Most sites are live within five working days. Once you tell us about your business and send your details, we design, write and build everything, then publish once you’re happy.
Do I need WordPress?
No. Many local businesses pay a fortune for WordPress sites that are slow, need constant updates and break when a plugin changes. Page Forge builds fast, secure, hand-coded sites with nothing for you to maintain, we handle everything.
Isn’t a one-page website too small for a real business?
For most tradespeople and local businesses, one well-built page is all you need: who you are, what you do, your area and how to contact you. It loads fast, reads perfectly on a phone and turns visitors into calls. If you need more, we also build multi-page and custom sites.
What’s included in the monthly fee?
Your domain, UK hosting and SSL, six content updates a year, and ongoing phone and email support. We don’t build it and disappear, you’ve always got someone to call.
I’m a tradesperson with no website, where do I start?
Just get in touch for a quick chat or send a WhatsApp. We only need to know what you do, where you work and your contact details. No tech knowledge required, we handle the domain, design and everything else.
Can you build websites for regulated businesses?
Yes. If a regulator says what your website must show, we build it in and work to your compliance team’s sign-off. That covers FCA-regulated advisers, SRA-regulated law firms, letting and estate agents, CQC-registered care providers and aesthetics clinics working to the ASA rules. Our site for Clermont Mortgage Solutions, an FCA-regulated mortgage broker, was approved by its principal firm’s compliance team.
Do you only work with businesses in Hassocks?
We’re based in Hassocks and work with businesses right across Mid Sussex, Burgess Hill, Hurstpierpoint, Haywards Heath, Ditchling, Brighton, Hove and beyond. We can also work with businesses anywhere in the UK.
Do you do SEO?
Yes. Our SEO service starts at £99 as a one-off, keyword research, on-page optimisation, local search signals, structured data and your Google Business Profile setup. No monthly retainer and no long contract. We can optimise a site we didn’t build, too.
Can you get my business recommended by ChatGPT and AI search?
Yes, that’s AI optimisation, or GEO, and it starts at £99. When someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude for a local recommendation, they name only two or three businesses. We structure your content, data and crawler access so yours is one of them.
What’s the difference between SEO and GEO?
SEO gets you ranked on Google; GEO gets you quoted by AI assistants. They overlap, because both reward fast, clear, well-structured pages, but AI assistants specifically favour answer-first writing, question-and-answer pairs and machine-readable data. They work best together.
