Web design for UK small businesses
One team for design, build, hosting and ongoing changes. A site that looks the part, works on every phone, and keeps up with your business.
01 / Why we exist
Small businesses deserve better than a template
Most small business websites are built in a weekend, launched in a rush, and then left to rot. The tools get more complicated. The theme breaks. The designer disappears. Six months later the site is slower than it was at launch and nobody knows how to change the phone number.
We started ctrl.alt.elite to take the whole thing off your plate. You get a hand-built site that actually suits your business, hosted on fast modern infrastructure, and a real team who makes changes when you ask. One monthly fee covers the lot.
02 / What you get
What comes with every site
Design, build, hosting and a team who looks after it. No bolt-ons, no surprise invoices.
Hand-built, not templated
Every site is designed from a blank canvas around your business. No theme packs, no drag-and-drop scaffolding, no 'my site looks like everyone else's' energy.
Written for your customers
We write the copy with you, not for you. Plain English, clear offers, and the answers to the questions your customers actually ask before they pick up the phone.
Fast on every phone
Mobile-first layouts, optimised images, and a hosting stack built for speed. Your site loads in a blink whether someone is on fibre or a train.
Hosting and updates included
Fast hosting, SSL, backups, uptime monitoring and security patches are all part of your monthly plan. Nothing extra to buy, nothing extra to think about.
Changes on request
New page, price tweak, holiday banner, fresh photos. Drop a message in your customer portal and we make the change. No logins, no fiddling.
No lock-in
You own the domain and the content. If you ever want to leave, we hand over everything cleanly. We would rather keep you because you want to stay.
03 / How it works
From first call to live site
Talk
A short call to understand your business, your customers and what the site needs to do. No scripts, no sales funnel.
Design
We design the pages around your offer, pick fonts and colours, and share a clickable preview well before anything is built.
Build
We build the site on fast modern infrastructure, wire up your contact form, domain and email, and run it past you for sign-off.
Launch & look after
We go live, hand over your portal, and keep looking after the site. Changes on request, hosting sorted, nothing to maintain yourself.
FAQ
Common questions
How much does a small business website cost?
Our plans start at £79/month and cover design, build, hosting and ongoing changes. No setup fee, no contract lock-in, and no surprise bills when you ask for a tweak.
Do you design sites from scratch or use templates?
Every site is designed from scratch around your business. We do not use template packs. The whole point is that your site does not look like everyone else's.
What happens after launch?
We keep looking after the site - hosting, backups, security, monitoring and any changes you need. You get a customer portal where you can request changes and chat with us directly.
Can you take over an existing website?
Yes. We regularly migrate UK small business sites off Wix, Squarespace, WordPress and GoDaddy. We keep your content, move the domain, and carry on from there.
Do you work with businesses outside the UK?
We focus on UK small businesses because that is where we know the market, the tax rules and the rhythm of the working day. If you are elsewhere and the fit is right, get in touch.
