Websites for small UK businesses

Built before
you asked.

Lots of good local businesses — roofers, decorators, garages, gardeners, independent shops — have excellent reviews but no website, or one that doesn't work on a phone. We build a sample site for them first, post a short letter with a private link, and let the owner decide. No sales calls. No obligation.

How it works

We do the work first. You decide.

A pitch asks you to imagine a website. We'd rather show you one, made for your business, and let it speak for itself.

  1. We find you

    We look for well-reviewed businesses that have no website or an outdated one, using only information the business has made public.

  2. We build a sample

    A mobile-friendly site using the facts you already publish. We never invent reviews, prices, qualifications or guarantees.

  3. We post one letter

    A short letter with a QR code to your sample. The link is private and the page is hidden from search engines.

  4. You choose

    “I'd like this” and we'll be in touch to set it up. “No thanks” and we stop contacting you — permanently.

Pricing

Simple, and nothing up front.

Launch pricing for UK businesses. Nothing is charged until you have seen your site and agreed the terms in writing.

Monthly

£19 / month

£0 up front. Once you have paid for 12 months, the site is yours to keep.

  • Your site, designed for phones first
  • Call and WhatsApp buttons
  • Hosting included
  • Domain registered in your name

Buy outright

£199 once

Then £50 a year for hosting and your domain.

  • Your site, designed for phones first
  • Call and WhatsApp buttons
  • Hosting included
  • Domain registered in your name

Your domain is registered in your name from day one. If you ever leave, we hand it over — it's yours.

How we behave

Cheeky, not pushy.

Writing to someone who didn't ask is a privilege. These are the rules we hold ourselves to.

Only what you've published

We use the business details you've made public — your listing, your own website, public registers. Nothing private, and we never copy another site's text or photos.

Nothing made up

Every sample is clearly marked as a sample. If we can't verify a service, price or opening time, we leave it out for you to fill in.

One letter, easy no

We write once. Press “No thanks” on your sample page or email us, and we add you to our do-not-contact list for good.

About us

A small studio for small businesses.

cheeky foundry is an independent web studio, run as a sole trader business in the United Kingdom. We're “cheeky” because we build your website before you ask for it — but always politely, and always easy to say no to.

We're launching in autumn 2026, starting with trades, garages and independent shops in the North East, Yorkshire and the Midlands.
