How buying outright works

From first call to live in as little as two weeks

  1. Step 1

    Discovery

    I work out what the site has to do, who it is for, and what would count as it working.

  2. Step 2

    Design & Creative

    I design it around that, not around what would look good in a showcase.

  3. Step 3

    Build & Optimise

    I build it to load fast, stay secure, work for everyone, and rank on Google.

  4. Step 4

    Launch & Support

    I put it live, check everything works, and stay reachable once it is.

One person, start to finish

I'm Owen Measures. I've been building websites since 2016, from Gillingham, for businesses across Kent and well beyond, and I hold Wix Legend Partner status, the top tier of Wix's partner programme. I built on Wix for years, until its limits kept getting in the way, so I now build in code, and your site can still come with an editor so you can change it yourself. I still fix Wix sites, and build new ones on Wix if that is what you want.

I quote, design and oversee every project myself, and I stay responsible for all of it. There are no account managers and no handover.

Before you ask

More on the full FAQs page.

How much does a website cost?

At WebOws Design in Gillingham, Kent, there are two ways. Get your site online for only £199: £99 setup and your first month, then from £100 a month. 12-month minimum. That covers a custom site hand built in code, hosting, SEO and small changes done for you. Or, if you want to edit it yourself, the same kind of site bought outright from £800, plus £25 a month hosting, with a fixed quote agreed before anything starts. No VAT to add either way.

How long does a website take to build?

In as little as two weeks, and most small business sites within four once I have your content (if you need it sooner, ask me about a quicker build); larger builds with e-commerce or custom functionality run four to eight weeks. The biggest cause of delay is waiting on text and photos, so I tell you exactly what I need up front.

Will my website show up on Google?

Every site I build comes with Foundation SEO, free, so Google understands your business from day one: clear page titles, a sensible structure, fast loading on phones and the background information Google reads. That makes you eligible to rank. On a monthly plan, Standard SEO adds Advanced SEO's hand written schema and keeps both up every month as part of the price. On a site bought outright, Advanced SEO is a one-off from £300, and it is usually worth it for busier search terms.

Can I update it myself afterwards?

If you want to, yes. Buy the site outright and you get your own editor for your words, photos and blog posts, and I show you how. If you would rather not, the monthly plan means you send me the change and I make it, within 2 working days. Custom business systems are the exception: changes to those are made by me, as paid ongoing support.

What if I already have a website?

I redesign and rebuild existing sites regularly, including ones left unfinished by someone else. If yours is on Wix and causing problems, my Wix Rescue service is built exactly for that.

Get a fixed price.

Book a free 20-minute call, or send a message and I'll reply within one working day, usually the same day. The whole price is agreed before anything starts.
