A better website.Without the agency overhead.

I design, build, and look after professional websites for small businesses, with clear monthly pricing and one person to email when something needs to change.

  • Building for the web since 2006
  • Custom design & build
  • Hosting, SSL & upkeep
  • Monthly update plans

01 / Why Moonbase

A smarter middle ground.

Agencies are expensive, website builders eat your evenings, and some freelancers vanish after launch. Moonbase is built to be the option in between.

  • vs. Agencies

    Instead of: Agency prices, account managers, and simple changes that take a week.

    With Moonbase: Agency-level experience, without the agency overhead. You work directly with me, and modern tools keep the work efficient, so you pay for your website, not overhead.

  • vs. DIY builders

    Instead of: Evenings spent dragging blocks around, a template that looks like everyone else's, and you're the support desk.

    With Moonbase: A site designed for your business, while I handle the technical side: hosting, security, and upkeep.

  • vs. Disappearing freelancers

    Instead of: A site that launches, and then nobody answers when something needs fixing.

    With Moonbase: Hosting and care are part of every plan, so the person who built your site is still here after launch.

Clear expectations at every step. Timelines depend on how quickly content and feedback come together, so you'll get a realistic estimate up front.

  1. Tell me about your business

    Share your current website, or just describe what you need. I'll ask a few questions and suggest a plan.

  2. Agree on the scope

    We choose the plan and settle the pages, features, and content, so you know exactly what you're getting and what it costs.

  3. I build your website

    You review the design and a working preview before anything goes live. The rounds of feedback are set out in your quote.

  4. Go live

    Your site launches, and your plan takes care of hosting, upkeep, and the updates it includes.

06 / FAQ

Questions, answered.

The most common ones are here. Something else on your mind? Ask me directly.

What does a website cost?

Most sites are covered by a one-time $399 setup fee plus a monthly plan, starting at $69/month. Larger or more complex projects are quoted separately, and you'll have a clear price before any work starts.

Can I skip the setup fee?

Yes. Choose $0 setup and the $399 is spread over your first 12 months, as $35 added to your monthly price. After that, you pay the regular plan price. There's a 12-month minimum: if you cancel sooner, the rest of the setup fee is due.

What's included in the monthly price?

Every plan includes hosting, SSL, routine maintenance, uptime monitoring, and email support. Growth adds up to 2 update requests per month, analytics setup, and a quarterly site report. Partner adds up to 5 update requests, a monthly report, and a yearly performance and SEO checkup.

Can you work with my existing website?

Often, yes. I can rebuild it on a modern setup and bring your content over. Send me the link and I'll take a look.

Who owns my website and domain?

Your domain and your content belong to you. The details are spelled out in your agreement before any work starts.
