Everything You Need to Know About Working With Us
Here's exactly how Milton Keynes Web Designs works, what you'll pay, and what you'll get. Every answer is the truth, even when other agencies wouldn't dare tell you.
We offer two plans: Monthly at £150/month with £0 upfront (12-month minimum), or Lump Sum at £3,600 total - £1,800 deposit to start, £1,800 on completion. Monthly means we own the code and manage everything for you. Lump Sum means you own everything outright and manage it yourself.
Everything for your 5-page website: design, development, hosting, SSL certificate, maintenance, updates, support, and small content changes. We own the code and design, you license it. We handle everything technical so you don't have to. Other agencies charge £150/month just for hosting alone.
The complete 5-page website with full ownership of code and design. You own everything outright. You're responsible for arranging hosting, maintenance, and updates yourself or through another provider. Perfect if you want complete control.
Yes. You pay your first £150 when you sign the contract to start work. That's it. No deposits and no setup fees. Compare that to our lump sum (£1,800 deposit) or agencies asking for £3,000+ upfront.
After 14 days late, it's a material breach. During the initial 12-month term, you'll owe the current month plus all remaining months to complete the term, due within 7 days. After the initial term, you only owe outstanding invoices plus statutory interest. In both cases, your website license ends immediately so we take it offline and you lose access. We can pursue payment through small claims court, debt recovery, or solicitors with costs added. Just communicate if you're having issues but we'd rather work with you.
12 months at £150/month (£1800 total minimum). We're investing 40-60 hours upfront into your project, so we need commitment. After 12 months, it continues month-to-month until either party gives 30 days notice.
Monthly: We own the code and design, you license it for use. Like renting vs buying. Lump Sum: You own everything - code, design, all rights. It's completely yours from day one.
No, switching between plans isn't available. The monthly and lump sum options are separate products with different ownership structures. Monthly means we retain ownership and manage everything for £150/month. Lump sum means you own everything outright for £3,600 total.
Never. For our monthly plans, we own the code but would never prevent you leaving, but you don't keep the website and we just stop hosting when you stop paying. For Lump sum clients, you own everything from day one, so this isn't even possible.
WordPress is slow, insecure, and unnecessarily complex. It needs constant updates, plugins break, and hackers love it. Our custom-coded sites load 3x faster, never need plugin updates, and score 95+ on Google PageSpeed (WordPress sites average 40-60).
2-4 weeks from signed contract and payment to live website. Most agencies take 6-12 weeks and charge you more.
Additional pages are £100 each with bulk discounts for 4+. Want a blog? That's £35/month for a system you can update yourself without any technical knowledge. Location pages to target multiple areas are £50/month. Smart chatbot for customer support is £35/month. All prices are clearly defined, no surprises.
Monthly Plan: Email us changes, we handle them within 5 business days - included free.
Lump Sum: You'll need to update yourself or hire someone.
If you require a blog, we offer blog integration that you can edit yourself without our assistance.We guarantee your homepage scores 90+ on Performance, Accessibility, Best Practices, and SEO metrics on Google PageSpeed. Most competitors score 40-60. Speed affects rankings and conversions, so we obsess over it.
Yes, on-page SEO is built into every site with proper structure, meta tags, schema markup, speed optimization. Your site will be SEO-ready from day one, regardless of plan. Full SEO services are available separately.
Our SEO specialist offers comprehensive services at a base price at £950/month, dependant on requirements and scope. This includes content strategy, link building, monthly optimization, and reporting. SEO takes time as real results show at 6 to 12 months.
We'll optimize your site to rank well, but guaranteeing #1 is impossible - anyone who promises this is lying. Ranking depends on competition, content, and ongoing effort. We will beat your current site's performance guaranteed.
No. This is a separate charge of £10/user/month and we will setup everything, manage it and if you cancel with us, we will transfer you ownership of the email system.
Absolutely. We'll migrate your existing emails and ensure nothing is lost during the transition. We handle all the technical DNS configuration. Your email history stays intact.
