Olszewski Rafal
At last, I found a company that truly understands my needs.
Before working with Michał, I had four different websites designed by four different web designers—but none of them met my expectations. Michał and his team created a website I’m genuinely proud of. It not only looks fantastic but also runs incredibly fast and helped me reach the first page of Google. I’m grateful for their professional approach, the SEO training and the fact that their support didn’t end once the site went live.

Questions & Answers
How much does a professional website cost in the UK?
The cost of a website can vary greatly — just like building a house. It depends on what you need, how complex the structure is and the level of finish you’re aiming for.
Do you need a small, well-designed online brochure or something much larger with booking systems, e-commerce functionality or custom integrations? Each feature is like adding an extra room, floor or high-spec finish — and it impacts the overall price.
That’s why we don’t use fixed pricing. Instead, we begin by understanding your goals, then create a tailored quote based on your exact needs — with full transparency and no hidden extras.
To give you an idea:
Landing Page – from £250
Ideal for campaigns or events. Think of it as a smart studio flat: compact, stylish and focussed.Small Business Website – £600 to £1,500
A solid starter home. Includes core pages like Home, About, Services and Contact, all optimised for mobile.Medium Business Website – £1,200 to £2,500
More like a semi-detached property — with extra space, more rooms (pages) and tailored design features.Large Website – from £2,500 to £5,000+
A full-scale build for businesses needing custom functionality, multilingual content or complex architecture.E-commerce Website – from £1,500 to £6,000+
Like adding a shopfront or retail unit — with secure payments, inventory systems, shipping options and automations.
Whether you’re building your digital “starter home” or a high-end bespoke space, we’ll help you plan, design and launch with confidence — without overspending.
You can view our full pricing guide online or contact us for a no-obligation quote tailored to your project.
Do I need a website if I already have Instagram or Facebook?
Social media platforms are excellent for connecting with customers, but they shouldn’t be your only space online. When you rely solely on Instagram or Facebook, you’re depending on third-party platforms that can change policies, limit your reach or even remove your content — all without notice.
Having your own website gives you full control and ownership of your brand. It acts as a central hub for your business, where potential clients can explore your services, contact you directly and build trust through consistent messaging. Our team often helps businesses integrate their social media into their websites so the two channels work together — boosting visibility, credibility and customer engagement.
What’s better for my business – a landing page or a full website?
It really depends on what you’re aiming to achieve. A landing page is ideal for promoting a single product, running a campaign or collecting leads in a focused way. It’s fast to set up, easy to navigate, and designed to guide users to one clear action — but it’s limited when it comes to SEO and long-term growth.
A full website, on the other hand, offers space to grow your brand. You can showcase multiple services, publish blog content, rank in Google search, and build authority over time. If you’re serious about online visibility, a complete website is often the smarter investment. We help clients decide which option suits them best — and build with future expansion in mind, so you’re never boxed in.
Can AI tools like ChatGPT help with content for my website?
AI writing tools like ChatGPT can be helpful for brainstorming ideas, drafting outlines or producing rough content quickly. However, the results often need refining to reflect your tone of voice, align with your brand, and follow best SEO practices. AI can provide speed — but not strategy or storytelling.
That’s where our company bridges the gap. We support clients by reviewing and editing AI-generated text, tailoring it for clarity, readability and search performance. Whether you need help polishing your homepage or crafting compelling service descriptions, we make sure the final content is human, effective and results-driven.
Will my site be visible on Google right after it launches?
Your site can be indexed by Google within days of going live, but that doesn’t guarantee it will rank well — especially not right away. Google uses complex algorithms that factor in speed, mobile usability, content quality, security, and more. Without proper SEO in place, your site might remain hidden among competitors.
We handle all the technical groundwork to get your site noticed. From submitting sitemaps and setting up search engine tools, to structuring your pages and writing optimised meta tags — our team prepares your site for strong search performance from day one. Visibility isn’t automatic, but with the right setup, it starts the moment you go live.
How do I get more traffic to my website without paid ads?
Organic traffic — that is, traffic you don’t pay for — is both achievable and sustainable. The process begins with strong on-page SEO: things like keyword-rich content, fast-loading pages, mobile optimisation, and clean internal linking. But to go further, you’ll need a broader content strategy.
We often recommend a mix of blogging, local SEO and high-quality backlinks to improve search rankings. Email marketing and social media can also play a role in driving returning visitors. Our company works with clients to develop tailored traffic strategies that fit their industry and goals — all without needing a constant ad budget.
Is it possible to integrate WhatsApp or Messenger into my site?
Yes, and it’s one of the most effective ways to make communication quick and convenient. Messaging apps like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger allow visitors to contact you instantly — which is especially valuable for mobile users. When done well, these tools improve customer service, build trust and boost conversions.
Our team regularly adds messaging functionality to business websites, using floating buttons, contact pop-ups, or embedded chat widgets. We ensure everything runs smoothly across devices and blends naturally with your branding. Whether you’re aiming for real-time customer support or easier enquiries, we’ll make sure your site is fully equipped.
Can I update my website myself after it’s built?
Definitely. We believe business owners should have the freedom to manage their own content. That’s why we build websites using platforms like WordPress, which allow for easy edits without needing any coding skills. You’ll be able to update text, swap out images, publish blog posts, and more — all in a few clicks.
We also provide guidance and training where needed, so you feel confident making changes. Whether you’re adding new services or just refreshing your homepage, you won’t be left in the dark. And of course, we’re always here if you’d prefer us to handle it for you.
What’s the difference between SEO and Google Ads?
SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) is a long-term strategy that helps your website rank organically on Google. It involves creating helpful content, improving page structure and earning trust online. When done right, SEO brings consistent traffic without paying for each visitor.
Google Ads, on the other hand are paid placements that can bring immediate visibility. You set a budget, bid for keywords and appear at the top of search results — but only as long as you keep paying. Our company supports both strategies and can help you decide which one works best for your goals and budget or how to use both together for maximum results.
How important are Google reviews for my website’s visibility?
Google Reviews are extremely important. Google reviews not only build credibility with potential customers but also play a big role in local search rankings. A strong review profile helps your business show up in Google Maps and boosts trust before a customer even visits your site.
We make it easy to show your reviews directly on your website — syncing them from platforms like Google or Facebook automatically. Our team can also advise you on gathering new reviews and responding to feedback in a way that strengthens your reputation and search presence.
Can you connect my site with Google Business Profile and maps?
Yes, and it’s one of the most valuable steps for local visibility. A properly configured Google Business Profile allows your company to appear in local searches, Google Maps and even voice-assisted results. It provides essential info like business hours, services and customer reviews — all at a glance.
We handle the setup and verification process and ensure your profile is fully linked to your website. From optimising service categories to adding location photos and updates, we take care of the details that help you stand out in your area — and get found by the right people.
What’s mobile-first design and why does it matter?
Mobile-first design is an approach where a website is created with mobile users as the top priority, before scaling up to tablet or desktop views. Considering that most users now browse on smartphones, this strategy ensures a smooth, fast and user-friendly experience right from the start.
We design every site with mobile performance in mind. That means clean layouts, fast-loading content and simple navigation. Our team tests across multiple devices to make sure your visitors get the best possible experience — no matter how they find you. A mobile-first site performs better in search engines too, as Google prioritises mobile usability in its rankings.
How can I show before-and-after photos on my website?
Before-and-after images are a powerful way to highlight your work, especially in industries like cleaning, construction, design or beauty. The most engaging format is an interactive slider that lets users drag across an image to see the transformation.
Our company often includes this feature for clients who want to demonstrate the quality of their services visually. It’s an eye-catching way to build credibility and encourage enquiries. Whether you need a simple gallery or a dynamic slider, we’ll set it up so it works perfectly on all devices — and makes a real impact.
What are the risks of using cheap website builders?
While low-cost website builders may seem like an easy solution, they often come with hidden limitations. From lack of customisation to poor SEO performance, these platforms can hold your business back. Many templates are slow to load, difficult to scale or lack the features growing businesses need.
We’ve worked with many clients who started with budget builders but outgrew them quickly. Our team offers affordable, professional alternatives that don’t cut corners. When we build your site, you get the flexibility to grow, better performance and ongoing support — all without being locked into a restrictive platform.
Can a slow website hurt my business on mobile?
Absolutely, website slow on mobile can hurt your business. A slow-loading site is one of the top reasons people leave without exploring further — especially on mobile devices, where users expect instant results. Even a few extra seconds of loading time can cost you potential customers and damage your reputation.
We take performance seriously. From image optimisation to efficient coding and speed-focused hosting, we build sites that run smoothly from the moment they load. Our company makes sure your site meets both user expectations and Google’s performance standards — keeping your visitors engaged and your rankings strong.
Do you offer website maintenance or support after launch?
Yes, we do offer website maintenance — and it’s something many of our clients choose. A website needs regular updates, security checks and technical maintenance to keep running at its best. Without proper care, even the best-designed site can become vulnerable or outdated over time.
Our team offers flexible maintenance plans that include everything from plugin updates and backups to ongoing content support. Whether you want us to handle everything or just need occasional help, we’re always here when you need us. We don’t just launch websites — we look after them long after they go live.
Can I sell products or services directly through my website?
Yes, you absolutely can sell products on your website. A well-designed website can serve as a full e-commerce platform or booking system, depending on what you offer. Whether you’re selling physical products, digital downloads or services that require appointments, your website can be set up to handle it all securely and professionally.
Our team has extensive experience building online shops and service-based platforms with features like secure payments, product filtering, cart systems and automated emails. We also integrate tools that make managing orders, customer data, and shipping options easy for you — so your website becomes a reliable sales tool that works around the clock.
What are the benefits of a custom-built website over a template?
Templates can be quick to launch, but they often come with compromises — limited layouts, slower performance and a design that looks like many others. A custom-built website is created around your brand, your goals and your ideal customer journey. That means better engagement, higher conversions and a longer lifespan.
We take time to understand your business and design something tailored to you — not just visually, but technically too. Our company builds custom websites that are fully responsive, SEO-ready, and built to grow with your business. If you want your site to stand out and perform well, a bespoke approach is worth the investment.
Is blogging still relevant for SEO in 2025?
Yes — blogging remains one of the most effective ways to boost your website’s visibility and connect with your audience. A regularly updated blog shows Google that your site is active and it gives you the chance to target long-tail keywords, answer common customer questions and build authority in your niche.
We help clients plan their blog strategy and write content that serves both their readers and their rankings. Whether you’re writing yourself or need help with content creation, we’ll guide you to get the most out of every post. It’s not just about writing — it’s about writing with purpose.
How do I know if my website is actually working for my business?
The easiest way to tell that website is working for your business is by tracking what matters: are you getting enquiries, sales or bookings? Are visitors staying on your site or leaving quickly? Tools like Google Analytics and Search Console provide valuable data — but only if they’re set up correctly and used well.
We help businesses measure performance through real results, not just guesswork. From setting up conversion tracking to reviewing key data points, we make sure your website is doing its job. And if something’s not working, we’ll help you improve it. Your site should be an active part of your business — not just a digital placeholder.
PageSpeed Insights
What is PageSpeed Insights and Why Does It Matter?
PageSpeed Insights is a free performance-checking tool provided by Google. It analyses how quickly your website loads and how well it performs across both mobile and desktop devices. After scanning your page, it gives a score from 0 to 100 – with higher scores indicating better speed and user experience.
To use the tool, simply enter your website address and it will generate a detailed performance report. The results highlight key areas for improvement, such as large image files, inefficient code or delays in loading fonts. It also offers suggestions to help your site run faster and more smoothly.
Website speed is crucial because it influences how visitors interact with your content. If a page takes too long to load, users are likely to leave before it finishes. A fast-loading site, on the other hand, improves engagement and user satisfaction – especially on mobile. Moreover, since page speed is part of Google’s ranking algorithm, a well-optimised site can help you rank higher in search results, increase traffic and convert more visitors into customers.
