What a small business website comes with.
Three things a small business website needs: a build that fits the business, hosting that keeps it up, and a way to change it without learning a website builder (how that compares with Wix). Every one of them comes with every ThemeSmith website. The only extras are more logo designs, and more changes if you change a lot.
A four-page site is £74, paid once: £29 for the first page, £15 for each one after. Hosting is free for the first month, then £29 a month, and that includes around thirty small edits by message.
£29 a month, and it stays £29 for as long as you're with us. New customers from 1 April 2027 pay £39.
What's included in the build?
Paid once, from £29. You tell us about the business in a chat, we build your home page first, you approve it, and the rest follows. Everything below is in that price.
Made from your own words
You answer a few quick questions and describe the business in your own words, the way you'd tell a customer. No template, no brief document. We play back what we heard so you can correct it before anything is designed.
Two or three design directions
Each one built from your words. You pick the one that feels like the business.
Your home page first, in about twenty minutes
Built in the direction you chose. Nothing else is built until you approve it, and before you do, up to five changes and one complete rethink are included.
The rest of your pages about ten minutes later
Built to match the home page you approved. Up to twenty pages (from nine, built with you): £29 for the first, £15 for each one after. A privacy page is included free.
Photographs and copy made for you
You don't need photos or words to start. We don't send a photographer: the pictures and the copy are made from what you told us in the chat, so you have something to launch with. Replace any picture with your own photograph whenever you like, by message.
Two logo designs
Drawn for your business; you pick one. For more choice, two more for £10 or four more for £15, chosen at the order.

What keeps it live?
Hosting is free for the first month; after that the Business plan includes all of this, for up to three sites, and the small ThemeSmith line at the foot of each page comes off when you ask.
Hosting on our global network
Your site is served from our network. There is no separate hosting bill and nothing for you to maintain.
SSL
Your site is served over https, with the padlock in the address bar. Included.
A web application firewall
A layer in front of your site that blocks malicious requests before they reach it.
A restore point before every publish from your editor
Every publish from your editor saves a restore point first, so there is a copy of how it looked before.
Your own domain, connected
Connect a domain you already have, or buy one in your dashboard; each name shows its yearly price before you pay.
Enquiry forms that reach you
Every enquiry from your site is emailed to you.
Quality checks before anything goes live
At launch and after every change, nothing is published until it has passed.
Email support
Included in the plan.
- First month

How do you change it after launch?
You don't log in to an editor. You tell us the change, in your dashboard or on WhatsApp, and we make it and put it live. Business includes around thirty small edits a month. They are covered by the monthly fee: nothing extra per change.
Changes by message
New opening hours, a price, a photo, a new section: say it the way you'd say it to a colleague. We make the change and put it live.
In your dashboard or on WhatsApp
Whichever is nearer to hand. Both reach us.
How many changes you get
Around thirty small edits a month on Business, with room for bigger jobs. There is no bill per change; the monthly fee covers them. What you don't use rolls over to the next month.
What counts as a change
A small edit is one thing: a word, an opening time, a price or a photo. A quick question costs a fraction of one. A whole new section on a page is about five small edits' worth.
Credits, if you want the detail
Your plan counts changes in credits: 500 a month on Business, and 150 in the free first month. A small edit is about 15, a question about 3, a new section about 75. You never need to do the sum; your dashboard shows what's left.
Top-ups if you need more
125 credits for £12, about eight more small edits. 600 for £50, about forty. 1,100 for £90, about seventy. They never expire.
Adding a page later
£15, plus a few credits to plan it with you by message.

Questions people ask about what's included.
Short answers. If yours isn't here, message us on WhatsApp ↗ and we'll answer it.
- What features does a ThemeSmith website include?
- Every site is built from your own words with photographs, copy and two logo designs made for you, up to twenty pages with a privacy page free. The plan includes hosting on our global network, SSL, a web application firewall, a restore point before every publish from your editor, your own domain connected, enquiry forms that reach your email, quality checks before anything goes live, and email support. After launch you change it by message.
- Do I need my own photos, copy or a logo?
- No. We don't send a photographer: the photographs and copy are made for you from what you tell us in the chat, so you have something to launch with, and two logo designs come with every build. You can replace any picture with your own photograph later, by message. If you want more logo choice, two more designs are £10 or four more are £15, chosen at the order.
- Is hosting included?
- Yes. Hosting is free for the first month; after that it is part of the Business plan, whose monthly price is on the pricing page. It includes hosting on our global network, SSL, a web application firewall and a restore point before every publish from your editor. There is no separate hosting bill and nothing for you to maintain.
- Can I use my own domain?
- Yes. Connect a domain you already have, or buy one from your dashboard. Each name shows its yearly price before you pay, and your site goes live on it.
- Can I change the website myself after it's live?
- You change it by asking. Send a message in your dashboard or on WhatsApp, in plain words, and we make the change and put it live. Business includes around thirty small edits a month, covered by the monthly fee with nothing extra per change. The plan counts them in credits: a small edit like a word, an opening time, a price or a photo is about 15, and Business includes 500 a month. Unused credits roll over.
- What if I don't like the design?
- You see two or three design directions before anything is built and pick one. Then your home page comes first, and before you approve it you can ask for up to five changes and one complete rethink, all included in the price. Nothing else is built until you approve your home page.
- How many pages can I have?
- Up to twenty, chosen on the quote page (from nine pages we build it with you, after a short call): £29 for the first page and £15 for each one after, so a four-page site is £74 and eight pages are £134. A privacy page is included free. Adding a page later is £15, plus a few credits to plan it with you by message.
- Is there a contract?
- No. Hosting is paid month by month with no setup fee, and you cancel from your account. We give 30 days' notice of any price change, and existing customers keep their price.
