Managed website service · UK
We design, build, host and run your whole website, for one monthly fee.
Your website and your marketing systems, designed, built, hosted and run for you on one bill. EU-hosted and privacy-first, with maintenance, security, SEO, content and the growth systems wired in. Quoted to your brief after a free audit, with website management from £49/month. One accountable point of contact, no lock-in, cancel any time.
What is included
Management is the whole thing, not just keeping the lights on.
This replaces the four or five separate bills most businesses juggle for a designer, hosting, email, maintenance and a Google profile nobody updates. One bill, one team, the design, the build, the hosting and the growth systems all run for you.
-
Design and build
A custom website designed and built around your business, not dropped onto a recycled template. We handle the whole build, you approve it on a private preview before it goes live.
-
EU-hosted, close to home
Fast, privacy-first hosting on EU and UK infrastructure with free SSL, daily backups and a padlock in the browser bar. Your data and your customers' details stay close to home.
-
Maintenance and security
Security patching, uptime monitoring and the quiet upkeep that keeps a site fast and safe. No pile of plugins to go out of date in the background, so there is far less to break.
-
SEO and local visibility
The on-page SEO, structured data and Google Business Profile basics that get you found locally, built in from launch and looked after as part of the plan.
-
Content and same-day edits
Text changes, image swaps, opening hours and a new service are included, usually done the same working day. You message us, we make the change.
-
Lead generation
Landing pages, enquiry forms and conversion-focused pages that turn visitors into enquiries, wired to notify you the moment a lead comes in.
-
CRM and follow-ups
A tidy customer list with automated follow-ups, so an enquiry is chased before it goes cold rather than lost in an inbox. Set up and run for you.
-
Email and SMS automation
Booking confirmations, review requests and reminders sent automatically by email or SMS, on reliable EU infrastructure, keeping customers warm without the manual work.
-
One accountable contact
One monthly bill and one accountable point of contact. You message us, not a call centre or a rotating account manager, and you own your code and your domain throughout.
How it works
A clear path, from a free audit to a site run for you.
There are no fixed packages to squeeze into. We are a modern studio using AI-leveraged, human-directed workflows, so delivery is fast and the build is consistent, and every decision that matters stays with a person accountable to you.
-
Free Site Score
We start with an automated audit of your current site: speed, SEO and accessibility, scored in about 60 seconds. No cost, no sign-up, and it is yours to keep. It tells you where you stand before you spend anything.
-
The £300 deep-dive
When you are ready to go further, the £300 Marketing and Automation Deep-Dive is a proper session, a detailed written audit of your site and marketing, and a fixed quote for the work. The £300 is credited in full against any build you commission within 60 days.
-
We design and build
We design and build the site using AI-leveraged, human-directed workflows. Modern tooling handles the repetitive, fiddly parts faster, so our attention goes to the decisions that matter: how it is put together, how bookings and payments flow, and the words that sell what you do.
-
We host, run and grow it
Once live, we host it, maintain it, keep it secure and run the growth systems for you on one monthly bill. Website management starts from £49/month, quoted to your brief, and services may vary, scaling only when the work justifies it. No lock-in, cancel any time.
Managed vs a one-off build
Why a monthly plan beats a one-off agency build.
A one-off build is a fixed cost up front, and then everything after launch becomes your problem. A managed plan spreads the cost, runs it all for you, and keeps the site current so you never face a surprise redesign quote.
The full numbers, with sources: the three-year cost of monthly vs an agency one-off and the three-year cost of a small business website.
What makes us different
A modern, EU-hosted studio you can actually reach.
Plenty of people will build you a website. Fewer will host it close to home, run the marketing systems that bring in work, and give you one accountable person to call.
-
EU-hosted, privacy-first
We build on EU and UK infrastructure with cookieless analytics and no tracking pixels. Your data stays close to home and is never sold. It is a real differentiator, not a footnote.
-
One accountable contact
One monthly bill and one point of contact who knows your business. You message us and get a straight answer, not a ticket queue.
-
A real company
We are operated by Ticketwave HQ Ltd, a registered UK company you can verify on Companies House, not a freelancer with a Gmail address.
-
A modern, AI-leveraged studio
We are a modern studio using AI-leveraged, human-directed workflows. That means faster delivery and tidy, consistent builds, with every important decision made by us, not a machine.
The technical detail behind all of this lives on /systems, our write-up of how every build is put together and what it runs on.

FAQ
Managed website service, answered.
What does a managed website service actually include?
Everything to get and stay online, on one monthly bill: we design and build the site, host it on EU and UK infrastructure, maintain and secure it, handle the SEO and local visibility, make your content edits, and run the growth systems, lead generation, a CRM, automated follow-ups and email or SMS reminders. One bill, one accountable point of contact, no separate hosting, email or maintenance invoices to juggle.
How much does it cost?
The Site Score audit is free. The £300 Marketing and Automation Deep-Dive gives you a consultation, a detailed written audit and a fixed quote, and that £300 is credited in full against any build. Website management then starts from £49/month, quoted to your brief, and services may vary, scaling with the work. There are no fixed packages to squeeze into and no surprise add-ons.
Do you build the site by hand or with AI?
We are a modern studio using AI-leveraged, human-directed workflows. Modern tooling handles the repetitive, fiddly parts of a build faster, which is why delivery is quick and the result is tidy and consistent. The decisions that matter stay with us: how the site is put together, how bookings and payments flow, security, and the words that sell your business. You get a person accountable for the work, start to finish.
Why is managed better than a one-off build?
A one-off build is a fixed cost up front, and then the hosting, updates, security and fixes become your problem or a separate retainer, until the site ages out and needs a costly redesign. A managed service has no large up-front bill: the build is quoted after a free audit, then everything is run for you from £49/month, kept current continuously so you never face a surprise redesign quote. We cover the three-year comparison, with sources, on the blog.
Where is my site and data hosted?
On EU and UK infrastructure, deliberately. We are privacy-first: cookieless analytics, no tracking pixels, and your data is never sold. Keeping your site and your customers' details on EU and UK providers is a real GDPR-friendly differentiator, and one we can show you in the stack rather than just claim.
Do I own my site, and is there a contract?
Yes, you own it, and no, there is no lock-in. Your domain is registered in your name and your code is yours. You can cancel any time and walk away with everything, no exit fee. Within the first 14 days you also have a full cancellation right under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.
Do you migrate from Wix, WordPress or Squarespace?
Yes. We carry over your content, photos and your Google reviews and ranking. The new site replaces the old one on launch, and the old one only comes down when you say you are ready. If you have an unusual setup, tell us at the deep-dive so we can plan the move properly.
Who runs the service?
It is operated by Ticketwave HQ Ltd, a registered UK company you can verify on Companies House. You are dealing with a real business, not a freelancer with a Gmail address, and you have one accountable point of contact throughout.
