Business and B2B websites.
Custom-coded websites for firms whose buyers check you out before they ever pick up the phone: consultancies, recruitment agencies, professional practices, trade suppliers and limited companies. Your homepage preview arrives within 48 hours, free, before you pay anything.
Survive a buyer's due diligence.
Pass the five-minute credibility check
Before anyone emails a supplier or a consultancy, somebody opens the website to see whether the firm is real, current and the right size. A news page last touched three years ago, a missing address or an out-of-date copyright line ends that conversation without you ever knowing it started.
Work for more than one reader
Business purchases are rarely made by one person. Whoever finds you is often not whoever signs the order. Service pages need to satisfy the specialist looking for technical detail and the manager looking for scope, process and a named contact, without either of them wading through the other's material.
Produce enquiries you can actually price
A form that asks for nothing brings in messages you cannot answer without three more emails. A form that asks for everything gets abandoned. The right route asks a handful of questions: what they need, roughly when, roughly how large, and how they would like to be contacted, so you can reply properly the same day.
How business buyers choose who to contact
Most B2B work begins well before the first call. A hiring manager gets a recruiter's name from a colleague, a director is handed three consultancies by their accountant, a buyer searches for a specialist supplier in their region. Whichever route brings them, nearly all of them open your website next, and they use it to narrow a list rather than to be won over.
That shapes what belongs on the site. Buyers look for specific services described in plain language, the sectors you work in, how an engagement runs from first contact to delivery, and evidence you have done it before. A case study with a named client (only with their agreement), a defined problem and a described result outweighs a page of adjectives.
Recruitment firms and consultancies have a second audience as well: candidates. They arrive with a completely different question, usually which roles are open and how to apply, and they should reach that answer in one tap instead of trawling through pages written for employers. Separating the two journeys at the navigation is one of the most useful structural decisions a recruitment site can make.
What a limited company website has to show
If you trade as a limited company, the trading disclosure rules made under the Companies Act 2006 (currently the 2015 Regulations) require your website to show your registered company name, your company registration number, the part of the UK where the company is registered (England and Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland) and your registered office address. These usually sit in the footer, which is exactly where a finance team looks when setting you up as a new supplier.
Procurement teams also often want a VAT number where you have one, a privacy policy explaining how enquiry data is handled, and details of any accreditations or insurance you hold. A missing registered office is the sort of gap that makes a cautious buyer wonder what else has been left out. I put these details in place on every limited company build and match them to the Companies House record before launch.
Included on a business build.
- A page for each service, written for the buyer rather than for search engines alone (up to 15 pages on Own Your Area)
- Sector or industry pages where you serve distinct markets
- Case study or project pages, naming clients only where they have agreed
- An enquiry form that collects what you need to quote, alongside phone, email and WhatsApp
- For recruiters: a vacancies page and a separate, obvious route for candidates
- Company disclosures in the footer, a privacy policy, and maps that only load on click so nothing tracks before consent
- Organisation and service schema, Google Business Profile setup and local SEO for the towns you work from
- Professional copywriting, with hosting, SSL, domain and unlimited updates covered by the monthly fee
Where this stops
Applicant tracking systems, candidate or client logins, searchable CV databases, portals, CRM or job board integrations, multilingual versions and anything beyond fifteen pages are outside Own Your Area. They are Custom work, priced after a proper conversation about scope. My largest build so far is a 22-page B2B logistics website for an international freight company, so bigger structures are possible when planned and quoted individually. I also do not give legal advice: disclosures and policies are set up from the details you supply, and your accountant or solicitor remains the right person for anything beyond that.
One live firm, two concept builds.
One live client site, plus two concept builds that show multi-page and premium work. Concepts are not client results.
Own Your Area for most firms. Custom when it grows.
Most professional and B2B firms fit Own Your Area (£500 + £60/mo): up to 15 pages for services, sectors and case studies, professional copywriting, a quote form, a 12-month SEO content plan, monthly reports and the 90-day page-one promise. Get Customers (£250 + £40/mo) suits a sole consultant who needs up to five clear pages. Portals, integrations and larger structures are Custom. Own Your Area is also available for £0 upfront at £110 a month on a 12-month minimum, dropping to £60 after that.
Every plan includes a custom-coded build, a free homepage preview first, hosting, SSL, domain, unlimited updates and a monthly price locked for life. No contract on standard plans, just 30 days' notice. See full tier comparison →
Straight answers for business owners.
How much does a business or B2B website cost?
Most professional services and B2B firms choose Own Your Area at £500 plus £60 a month, which covers up to fifteen pages, copywriting, an enquiry form, hosting, domain, SSL and updates. A smaller site of up to five pages is £250 plus £40 a month. Client portals, integrations and larger builds are Custom, from £1,500.
What does a limited company have to show on its website?
Your registered company name, your company registration number, the part of the UK where the company is registered and your registered office address. These come from the trading disclosure rules made under the Companies Act 2006. I put them in the site footer and match them to your Companies House record before launch.
Can you build a vacancies section for a recruitment firm?
Yes. A vacancies page with role details and a clear way to apply or send a CV fits within Own Your Area, and I update it when you send new roles. A searchable job board, candidate accounts or a live feed from your recruitment software is Custom work, scoped and quoted separately.
Do you write the content, or do I?
Professional copywriting is included on Own Your Area. I draft the service, sector and about pages from a conversation with you and whatever material you already have, then you correct the technical detail. You know your field; my job is to make it readable for the buyer who does not.
How large a site can you build?
Own Your Area covers up to fifteen pages, and anything beyond that is Custom. My largest build to date is a 22-page B2B logistics website for an international freight company, so sites with separate service, sector and location sections are well within reach once they are properly planned.
