About Low Cost Websites

A small UK marketplace with one job: get a business that needs a modest website in front of two or three designers who will build it well for the money.

Why it exists

Most small businesses do not need a six-month agency project. They need a clean, fast site that takes enquiries and looks right on a phone, built by someone who has built dozens of them. Finding that person is the hard part: directories list everyone, and a search turns up agencies first. The business ends up either overpaying or hiring on a guess.

We do the finding. A business posts a brief with a budget band, we check the designers ourselves, and we send the brief to no more than three of them. The business gets quotes it can act on and a choice that is its own.

How we are paid

Not by businesses, and not by a cut of the job. Designers pay a listing fee once the site is established; during launch they are listed free. Our interest is in matches that turn into finished websites, because that is what keeps good designers listed.

Who runs it

Low Cost Websites is a trading name of Domain Farm Ltd, company number 13544286, registered in England and based at Vantage House, Euxton, Chorley, Lancashire. Domain Farm builds and runs a small group of UK websites and the tools behind them.

What we promise

  • Your brief goes only to the designers matched to it.
  • Every listed designer has been checked by a person, against the four tests on the designers page.
  • No sales calls, no newsletters you did not ask for, no selling of your details.
  • If a designer lets a business down, tell us. Designers who go quiet or quote outside their stated prices are dropped.
