The regulated specialism

Named frameworks, not buzzwords.

The four-vertical regulated specialism, in one read each — what the compliance stack actually is, and what most sites get wrong.

  1. Clinics · UK GDPR + DSPT

    Why UK clinics fail GDPR

    Booking forms, cookie banners, hosting region, sub-processor lists — the failure modes I see on almost every independent-clinic site, and how an EU-sovereign rebuild closes each one.

Why people actually choose me

10 things every tier includes that agencies still charge thousands extra for.

  1. 01

    Same person, start to finish

    You message Jordan. Jordan designs. Jordan builds. Jordan supports. No account manager, no offshore subcontractor, no "I'll check with the team and get back to you".

  2. 02

    Three honest tiers · no surprises

    Foundation £45/mo, Growth Engine £195/mo, Bespoke (quoted). Same price every month at whichever tier fits. No upfront fee, no "discovery phase" upcharge, no "the client asked for blue" invoice, no quarterly retainer review. Compare on /pricing.

  3. 03

    Live preview before launch

    You see and review your site on a private URL before anything goes public. I tweak until you're happy. You're never seeing it for the first time on the day it goes live.

  4. 04

    Hand-crafted, no plugins

    Every site is raw HTML + Astro + JavaScript. No 30 WordPress plugins to update. No template builder to outgrow. It loads in under a second on a mobile cellular connection.

  5. 05

    WCAG 2.2 AAA accessibility

    This very site meets the highest accessibility standard — WCAG 2.2 Level AAA. The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines are the international standard for usable websites; Level AAA is the strictest tier. Better legal protection (Equality Act 2010), wider reach (1 in 5 UK adults have a disability), and Google rewards it in rankings.

  6. 06

    Technical SEO baked in

    Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) done properly: clean semantic HTML, structured data (JSON-LD — the format Google uses for rich snippets), XML sitemap, robots.txt, RSS feed, llms.txt for AI search, Open Graph + Twitter cards, mobile-first, Core Web Vitals near-perfect.

  7. 07

    EU-sovereign infrastructure

    Vercel London (region lhr1) for hosting. Cloudflare for DNS + email routing. Resend EU for outbound email. Stripe Ireland for payments. Capsule UK for CRM (Growth Engine+). No US-resident SaaS on the client-data path. Full sub-processor disclosure on /compliance.

  8. 08

    WhatsApp + video calls

    Got 5 minutes and a question? WhatsApp voice or video call. No Calendly link, no 90-minute Zoom, no "let me circle back". Same response time as messaging a mate.

  9. 09

    You own everything

    Domain in your name. Code zipped to you on cancel. Stripe, Vercel, Google Business accounts in your email. Walk away with the lot whenever you like, no questions, no exit fee.

  10. 10

    UK consumer law on your side

    14-day cancellation right under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. Cancel within 14 days of starting and get a full refund. Cancel later and the next monthly just doesn't bill.

How the maths works

Why £45 / £195 / Bespoke are the real prices — not loss-leaders.

Three reasons the tier ladder costs less than you'd expect, and stays sustainable.

  1. One person + AI-leveraged workflow

    No account manager, no project manager, no subcontractor, no junior to train. Jordan designs, builds, and supports every site — with an AI-leveraged workflow (Claude for research + draft + edit, human for everything that matters). Cuts what a UK agency charges by roughly 70-80% without cutting quality.

  2. Hand-crafted, low maintenance

    A WordPress site needs 30+ plugin updates a year. A hand-crafted Astro site needs almost none. Less ongoing dev time per site = lower price per site, sustainably. Same logic scales up the tier ladder — Growth Engine + Bespoke add lead-gen + modules, not extra dev hours per month.

  3. EU-sovereign infrastructure on a budget

    Vercel London Pro tier serves your site for pennies a month, on the same edge network that powers most modern UK SaaS. Resend EU for transactional email at $0.0001 per send. Capsule CRM free tier at Foundation. The sovereign-stack costs come down as the major providers compete.

How it works

Four steps to live.

  1. 1

    Tell me about you

    Start your subscription (or message me first). I take your business, your services and your old site if you have one.

  2. 2

    We build it

    I design and build your site hand-crafted, AI-leveraged on Astro 6 + Vercel London (lhr1) — written around your trade, not a generic template.

  3. 3

    You review it

    You see it on a live preview link. I tweak it with you until it's right — no surprises.

  4. 4

    We launch & keep it running

    I put it live on your domain, set up the basics, and keep it fast, safe and current as part of your monthly subscription — forever, or until you cancel.

Questions, answered

The things people ask first.

Is it really £45 a month?

Yes, on the Foundation tier — one flat monthly Foundation price covering design, hand-crafted build, Vercel London (lhr1) hosting, daily backups, security, minor content tweaks, and a real person to call. £45 charges on the same day every month from day one, until you cancel. Growth Engine (£195) and Bespoke (quoted) are the other two tiers — see /pricing for what they add.

When does the first £45 charge land?

Today, the day you start your subscription. Stripe charges £45 immediately and then on the same day every month after, until you cancel. No surprise bills; you can cancel from your Stripe email any time and the next month simply doesn't bill.

How long does it take?

Days, not months. Once I have your details I build quickly, you review it on a live link, and I launch when you're happy.

What if I want to cancel?

Cancel any time — one-click from your Stripe email. The subscription ends at the end of the month you've already paid for. Within the first 14 days you have a full statutory cancellation right under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 — full refund, the site comes down, you keep your domain plus anything you brought. Site files can be handed over on request after 12 paid months — talk to me, see /refund for the precise framing.

Why is it £45 and not £1,500 like an agency?

No agency overhead. One person — me, Jordan — designs, builds and supports every site, and Vercel London hosts it for pennies per site per month. Hand-crafted sites need almost no ongoing maintenance compared to a WordPress site stuffed with 30 plugins. The maths works because the costs are genuinely that low; the price isn't a loss-leader.

What counts as a content update?

Minor changes are included every month at no extra cost — text edits, swapping an image, updating opening hours, adding a service description, contact-info changes, basic SEO tweaks. Major changes (a new page, a redesign, a new feature like an online shop or booking system) are quoted separately so the maths still works for both of us. WhatsApp me with what you've got in mind — I'll be straight about which side of the line it falls on.

Do I need a domain?

If you have one, I use it. If not, I'll register one in your name with Cloudflare Registrar (or your preferred registrar). The ~£10/year renewal is paid by you directly to the registrar — no markup from me, and I'll prompt you at renewal so it never lapses.

What if I already have a website?

Even better — send it over, or run it through the free site check. I'll rebuild it properly: sub-second, hand-crafted on Astro 6, mobile-first and written around your trade.

Who actually are you?

UK Web Marketing is operated by TicketWave HQ Ltd, company number 17143167, registered in Pudsey, Leeds. A real company you can check on Companies House. (You can also find me on LinkedIn — there's a link in the footer.)

Can I pay annually for a discount?

Yes — Foundation and Growth Engine both have an annual prepay option that saves 20%. Foundation is £432/year (equivalent to £36/mo); Growth Engine is £1,872/year (equivalent to £156/mo). Toggle Monthly/Annual on /pricing to see both. The cancellation rights are identical — 14-day statutory refund under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013; after that, annual prepay isn't refunded pro-rata but you keep the service until renewal. Bespoke is quoted per engagement; talk to me if you'd like an annual structure.
