Websites & practical IT support for local businesses
Get your Northern Ireland business online without agency prices or technical hassle.
Knipe IT builds simple websites for small Northern Ireland businesses — with hosting, SSL, backups and small updates handled for you.
Founding client offer: £399 setup + £39/month for the first 5 local businesses only.
Ideal for sole traders, trades, cafés, salons, garages, pet groomers, shops and local service businesses that need a better online presence. Based in Northern Ireland, built for practical local businesses.
How it works
A simple route from “we need a website” to live online.
Answer a few basics
I’ll ask for the essentials: services, photos, contact details, opening hours and any existing domain.
Review the draft
You get a clear first version to check, then we tidy the wording, photos and calls to action.
Go live
I connect the domain, hosting, SSL and basic SEO setup, then look after the technical bits.
What you get
A straightforward website package, built for small businesses.
Website build
A fast, tidy 1–5 page website that explains what you do, where you work and how customers can contact you.
Hosting handled
Your website hosting, SSL certificate, backups and basic monitoring are taken care of so you do not have to manage the technical bits.
Local business essentials
Email enquiry button, Google Maps, social links and basic search engine setup included from the start.
Ongoing support
Need a phone number changed, a new photo added or a small text update? Basic monthly support is included with clear limits.
Optional extras
Add booking, payments or extra tools when the business needs them.
Start simple, then add features that genuinely help customers take action. These are priced separately from the core website package.
Booking integration
Connect tools like Calendly, Fresha, Square Appointments or SimplyBook so customers can request or book appointments online.
Online payments
Add Stripe payment links or simple payment flows for deposits, invoices, bookings or fixed-price services.
Forms & automations
Client enquiry forms, quote requests, email notifications and simple admin workflows to reduce back-and-forth.
Domain & email setup
Help choosing a domain, connecting DNS, and setting up business email. Domain and email provider fees are paid separately.
Optional extras are quoted separately so the starter package stays affordable and clear.
Why Knipe IT
Local, practical and not overcomplicated.
You do not need a huge agency project to look credible online. Knipe IT focuses on simple, useful websites that help customers find you, understand your services and get in touch.
The aim is to keep things clear: sensible pricing, a reliable website, and practical help when you need small changes.
What I’ll need from you
The basics are enough to get started.
You do not need everything polished before you email. These details simply help the first draft come together quickly.
Business details
Name, location, contact email, phone number if you want it shown, opening hours and the areas you cover.
Services & prices
A short list of what you offer, rough prices if useful, and the jobs or customers you most want more of.
Photos & branding
Logo, colours, work photos, team photos or social media links. If you do not have much yet, we can still keep it clean and simple.
Domain access
If you already own a domain, I’ll need access or DNS details to connect the new site. If not, I can help you choose one.
Domain names
Your domain stays yours.
If you already own a domain, Knipe IT can connect it to your new website. If you need a new domain, I can help you choose and set it up — but it should be registered in your own name/account.
Domain not included
Domain registration fees are separate from the website setup and monthly hosting/support price.
You keep ownership
The domain should remain under your control, so you are never locked in or dependent on Knipe IT to keep it.
Setup help included
I can help connect DNS records for the website, email, SSL and any third-party tools needed.
Business email optional
Email such as hello@yourbusiness.co.uk can be set up through Zoho, Google Workspace or your existing provider as a separate cost.

Questions
Quick answers before you email.
What is included in the monthly support?
Hosting, SSL, backups, basic monitoring and small content updates such as changing text, adding a photo or updating contact details. Bigger new features are quoted separately.
Do I own my domain?
Yes. Your domain should stay in your own name/account. Knipe IT can help set it up and connect it, but the domain itself remains yours.
How long does a simple website take?
Most simple sites can move quickly once the wording, photos and basic business details are ready. The exact timing depends on the size of the site and how quickly content is supplied.
Can booking or payments be added?
Yes. Booking tools, payment links, quote forms and automations can be added when useful. They are priced separately so the starter package stays affordable.
