What you get
A straightforward website package, built for small businesses.
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.

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.
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.
