A lot of the value sits in what the £120 a year quietly does. Here's what's under the bonnet — and what it means for you.
Your site lives on a secure https:// URL with the padlock in the address bar — every connection encrypted, certificate renewed automatically, forever. Browsers flag sites without it as "Not secure", and Google ranks them lower.
Copies of your site sit on servers around the world, so visitors are served from a data centre near them — not one machine far away. This is most of why the site loads in under a second.
If the network ever has an outage, a cached copy of your site keeps serving visitors. Customers don't see an error page because of a problem that has nothing to do with you.
If someone tries to knock your site offline with a flood of traffic, it's absorbed. A web application firewall blocks the standard attacks — malicious bots, injection attempts — before they reach your site.
No traffic caps and no overage bills. If one of your posts takes off on a local Facebook group, you don't get an invoice for it.
Every version of your site is kept. If a change ever breaks something, it's rolled back in minutes — not restored from a backup overnight.
Your domain's routing is handled on fast, reliable DNS, and the site is monitored — if it ever goes down, I'm told about it, usually before you notice.
Pages are compressed and served over the latest web protocols, on both IPv4 and IPv6. Invisible to you, but it's another reason the site feels instant on a phone on 4G.
Why does this matter? Because a customer on a slow or broken site hits the back button and goes to the next result. Speed and reliability aren't technical vanity — they're the difference between an enquiry and a missed one, and both are Google ranking factors.
One email is enough to start — what you do, where you are, and whether you've already got a website. You'll get a straight answer about whether I can help, and what it would cost. No obligation, no follow-up pestering.
