Renting and owning

With them you rent. With us you own.

Subscription builders are good software. The catch is the arrangement: the site is theirs and you are renting access to it. We sell you the finished thing instead. Both are honest positions. Only one of them survives us going out of business.

  • Rented

    Stop paying and the site goes off the internet.

    Owned

    Stop paying and nothing happens. The files are already on your computer.

  • Rented

    Your pages live in their format, on their servers.

    Owned

    Plain HTML and CSS in a folder. Any host will take it. So will a USB stick.

  • Rented

    Moving somewhere else means building it again.

    Owned

    Nothing in the export links back to us or loads anything from us. There is nothing to move away from.

  • Rented

    The price is whatever they decide next year.

    Owned

    One payment. There is no next year to negotiate.

  • Rented

    Nobody checks whether the result can actually be read.

    Owned

    Every colour pair is checked for contrast, and the report ships with your site.

A four-page site, exactly as it arrives.

That is the whole thing.

No build step, no framework, no account. Double-click index.html and it opens in your browser, offline, on a laptop that has never heard of us. There are no scripts phoning home, no fonts or stylesheets loaded from our servers, and no licence to renew.

It is readable, too. If you or someone you know can edit HTML, the export is written to be edited — sensible names, comments, one stylesheet.

You pay once, and we give you the actual files.

The month you stop

One of these is still open tomorrow.

Not a criticism of anybody — a subscription is an honest arrangement and the software is good. It is simply what the arrangement means. A card expires, a business has a bad quarter, a company is bought and the plan changes; on one side of this that is an inconvenience and on the other it is a shop with the shutters down.

This site is no longer available.
The subscription has ended.

Rented. The pages were on their servers, in their format. Stopping the payments stops the site.
Owned. The files are on your computer and on whatever host you chose. Nothing about them needs us, so nothing about them changes.

How it works

An afternoon, start to finish.

  1. Tell us about the business

    A few questions — what you do, where you are, who you are for. Pick your trade from 53 and the site opens with words written for it, and photographs to go with them. Change any of it.

  2. Click anything to change it

    Text, colours, shapes, type — and more than 138 different ways to build a section, from a printed menu to a price list, not six skins on one page. Every change is kept, so you can always go back.

  3. Take it away

    See your report card, then download the finished site. We walk you through putting it online and onto Google — or register the domain in your name and look after the hosting for you.

The download

11 files, and not one of them ours.

This is the actual contents of the folder, listed by the same code that builds it. No account, no build step, nothing to install. Any hosting will take it, and so will a memory stick.

  • index.htmlYour home page. Double-click it and the site opens.
  • about.htmlOne of your pages.
  • treatments.htmlOne of your pages.
  • contact.htmlOne of your pages.
  • assets/style.cssEvery colour, font and spacing value, at the top, commented.
  • robots.txtTells search engines they may list you.
  • manifest.webmanifestLets someone save the site to their phone's home screen.
  • favicon.svg
  • 404.htmlOne of your pages.
  • accessibility-report.txtWhat we checked, and what we could not check for you.
  • llms.txtYour site in plain words, for AI assistants answering questions about you.

Your photographs are saved into the folder beside them, not linked from our servers. That is the difference between owning a site and being lent one: if we disappeared tomorrow, every one of these keeps working.

Build it first. Decide afterwards.
