Websites for UK organisations
A website that works as hard as you do.
A clear, fast website you can update yourself, easy to find on Google and properly looked after. Fixed price, agreed before we start.
Sound familiar?
Your website should be helping, not worrying you.
-
It looks like it did in 2015.
Visitors make up their minds in seconds, and right now the site isn’t doing you justice.
-
You can’t change a thing without help.
A new price or a staff photo means an email, a wait and sometimes an invoice.
-
Google can’t seem to find you.
People search for exactly what you do, and find someone else.
-
The person who built it has vanished.
No logins, no answers, and nobody to call when something goes wrong.
-
You’re worried it will break, or get hacked.
Warning messages, out-of-date software and a nagging feeling it’s only a matter of time.
What you get
A site you’re proud to share.
Well made, easy to live with, and looked after long after launch.
-
Easy to edit
Change words, photos, news and events yourself in minutes. No code and no waiting.
-
Fast and found
Quick to load on any phone, and set up so search engines understand what you offer.
-
Safe and up to date
Security updates and backups taken care of, so it keeps working quietly in the background.
-
Nothing lost in the move
Your pages, content and search rankings carried over carefully, so old links still work.
-
Something that’s yours
Your domain, your content and your logins. If you ever move on, everything comes with you.
Which platform?
The right fit, not the fashionable one.
Each platform suits a different kind of organisation. You don’t need to know the difference. Helping you choose is part of the job.
-
WordPress
The world’s most popular website system, with an editor most people pick up in an afternoon.
Best for: organisations that share news, events or updates often.
More about WordPress -
SilverStripe
A secure, well-organised system with a tidy editor, trusted by councils and public bodies.
Best for: larger sites with several editors or strict accessibility needs.

Static site
A lean, very fast site with very little to maintain and almost nothing to hack.
Best for: sites that change now and then and should be quick and cheap to run.

How it works
Four steps. You’re in control of each one.
-
You tell us what you need
A friendly call about your organisation, your visitors and what the site needs to do. No jargon.
-
You get a clear plan and a fixed price
Pages, platform, timeline and the exact cost, written in plain English. Nothing starts until you’re happy.
-
You see it take shape
Regular previews on a private link. Try it, share it with colleagues and give feedback as it grows.
-
You launch, and it’s yours
It goes live on your domain, you’re shown how to edit it, and everything is in your name.
Pricing
What could your budget build?
Every site is complete, working and yours to edit. A bigger budget buys more time to plan, write, build and polish.
Your budget
£5,000

3 weeks

Why it costs less
A carefully made site, without the agency bill.
Much of an agency quote pays for the people around the work: account managers, meetings and hand-offs. Here, you deal directly with the person building your site, and modern AI tools take care of the routine parts. You get the same care for a fair, fixed price.
| Typical UK agency | Orbital | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | £5k to £50k | £1.5k to £20k |
| Timeline | 2 to 6 months | 1 to 8 weeks |

Questions
Things people often ask.

You do. The domain, the content and the logins are in your name from day one.
Hosting usually costs £5 to £60 a month depending on the platform, plus an optional care plan. You’ll see every running cost in writing before you commit.
Yes. Access can usually be recovered, the site made safe and stable, and then you can decide what happens next with no pressure.
