A proper four-page website with the scope agreed first.
A fixed-scope brochure website for small businesses that already have the core content ready and do not need a larger bespoke content-development project.
Small project. Same build standards.
The Starter Website is not a template package and it is not a cut-down page-builder product. It is a purpose-built HTML/CSS website with a deliberately limited scope so the project stays straightforward.
It suits sole traders, new businesses and small organisations that need a professional online presence and can provide the essential text, images and branding needed to build it.
Four core pages
- Home
- About
- Services
- Contact
The content needs to be ready.
The Starter Website works because the boundaries are clear. You supply the core material and Blade turns it into a clean, responsive business website.
Text and business information
Final or near-final wording for each page, plus your contact details, services and any required legal/business information.
Images and branding
Your logo and suitable photographs in usable digital form. Reasonable image preparation for the web is included.
The actual website
Responsive layout, HTML/CSS coding, contact form, technical search setup, testing and launch within the agreed scope.
Hosting, domain and SSL are part of the service.
Starter Websites are supplied with Blade-managed hosting, domain and SSL services so the site is launched on a known, supported setup rather than handed over to an unfamiliar third-party hosting account.
Blade arranges and configures the domain, hosting and SSL certificate and manages their renewals. These third-party services are invoiced separately on an annual basis.
What if the content is not ready?
That is not a problem — it simply means the job is no longer the Starter package. Blade can help develop copy, prepare larger amounts of imagery, recreate graphics or plan the site structure as a bespoke project.
Content writing and graphic design are specialist work in their own right. Where substantial preparation is needed, it is allowed for in the quotation and project timescale rather than being hidden inside a bargain package.
Bespoke fit: “We have a Facebook page, three phone photos and roughly know what we want.”
A defined brochure website, not an unlimited development contract.
- Ecommerce / online shop systems
- Large databases or custom web applications
- Unlimited content writing or graphic design
- Open-ended revisions or additional pages
