How the instalments work
A deposit, then equal monthly payments for the rest of the term. Instalment plans are payment schedules for our own services, agreed directly with Apex. They are not credit agreements, no interest is charged, and no credit check is carried out.
Hartley & Sons filled their diary six weeks after launch
A five-page site, local Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and a small paid budget on the Growth plan. The phone started ringing before the third instalment.
“We could never have paid for this in one go. Twelve payments made it a business decision instead of a gamble.”

Ordinary businesses, plainly said
Every quote below is from a UK client on a monthly plan. We will put you in touch with any of them.
“The designer on the first call was the one who built it. That never happened with our last agency.”
Daniel HartleyOwner, Hartley & Sons — Trades, Kent “We paid monthly out of the bookings the site brought in. It funded itself by month four.”
Sofia MarchettiDirector, two-site restaurant group — London “They moved us off our old platform and gave us the code. No arguments, no lock-in.”
James OkaforManaging Director, retail — Nationwide
Fixed monthly figure
Agreed before we start, unchanged for the term.
You own everything
Code, files, domain and accounts in your name.
Named team, no outsourcing
In-house designers and developers in Kent.
Accessible and GDPR compliant
WCAG AA checked, data held in UK and EU regions.
What do you need from me to start?
Your logo if you have one, any photos you want used, and fifteen minutes on a call. We write the first draft of the copy, so you are editing rather than starting from a blank page.
What happens at the end of the term?
The site is paid for and yours. Hosting and maintenance continue on a small monthly plan if you want us to keep looking after it, or we hand everything over and you take it elsewhere. Nothing renews automatically without your agreement.
Can I pay for the site outright instead?
Yes. One-off pricing is available on request for any plan — ask on the call or in your dashboard and we will send the figure. Most clients choose monthly because it keeps cash in the business.
Do you write the content for me?
Copy support is included on the Growth and Complete plans: we draft every page from the brief and your existing material, then you review it. Starter includes structure and headings, with the body copy from you.
What if I already have a website?
We rebuild on your existing domain and keep your rankings intact with redirects, so nothing is lost in the move. Your current site stays live until the new one is signed off.
Start your website from £149 a month
Pick a plan and set your order up in the dashboard, or book a call first and we will do it with you. Nothing is taken until you have seen every payment date.
