We think every UK business deserves to be found online.

Not just the ones who can afford an agency, or who have time to wrestle with a website builder. Every business. So we decided to do something about it.

Where this started

We spent years building websites for businesses of all sizes — from large e-commerce platforms to local tradespeople who needed something simple and professional. One thing became obvious over time: the businesses that needed a good website most were often the ones least able to get one.

A professional website from an agency costs thousands of pounds. DIY builders like Wix or Squarespace sound affordable until you realise you're spending hours you don't have learning software — and still paying £15–£30 a month forever. And every company offering a "free website" turns out to require a hosting package before they'll actually hand it over.

Nobody was doing genuinely free. No conditions, no lock-in, no small print. So we decided to be the first.

Why free?

We accept 20 businesses per month — roughly one per working day. For those 20, we build a real, professionally designed website at no charge. The model works because a small number of those businesses choose our optional managed hosting at £49/month. That revenue funds everything.

There's no pressure to take hosting. We'll build your site either way. But if you do — you're not just getting a service, you're making it possible for the next business to get their free site too. We think that's a fair trade.

What we believe

A few things we keep coming back to:

Ownership matters
You should own your website outright. Files in your hands, not held hostage by a subscription.
Simplicity is a virtue
A clean 3-page site beats a bloated 20-page one that nobody maintains. We keep things focused.
Local businesses are the backbone
The plumber, the café, the accountant — they deserve the same quality as big brands.
No hidden agenda
We tell you exactly how we make money. If that changes, you'll be the first to know.

Who we are

UK Business Sites is a small, independent team based in the UK. We're web professionals who got fed up with seeing brilliant local businesses lose customers because they had no online presence — or worse, an embarrassing one from 2009.

We're not a big agency. We don't have a venture-funded growth target. We have a cap of 20 sites per month because that's what we can do well. When we're full, we're full — and we'll tell you so honestly rather than overpromising.

If you have questions, email us at hello@ukbusinesssites.co.uk. We read every message.
