Starter Website Packages.
Smart Choice Digital – Affordable Website Solutions for Small Businesses
Professional Websites That Won't Break the Bank.
At Smart Choice Digital, we believe every business deserves a professional online presence—regardless of budget. Our Starter Website Package is designed specifically for small businesses, sole traders, start-ups, and local service providers who need a quality website without the premium price tag.
These aren’t template websites thrown together in an afternoon. Our Starter Package websites are professionally designed, mobile-responsive, and built on WordPress—the world’s most popular content management system. You’ll get a clean, modern website that represents your business professionally and helps you attract customers online.
Whether you’re a local tradesperson, consultant, beauty therapist, accountant, or any small service-based business, our Starter Package gives you everything you need to establish your online presence. Based in Darlington and working with small businesses across the UK, we’ve helped hundreds of businesses take their first steps online affordably and effectively.
Free Web Design Consultation
Do you want more from your current website? Are you a new business looking for a reliable design agency? We offer completely free web design consultations to all businesses.
Is Our Starter Website Package Right for Your Business?
Start-Up Businesses & New Ventures Just launched your business? Our Starter Package gets you online quickly and affordably, letting you establish your digital presence without major upfront investment. Focus your capital on growing your business—we’ll handle your website.
Sole Traders & One-Person Businesses As a sole trader, you wear every hat in your business. You need a website that works without constant attention or technical headaches. Our Starter Package delivers exactly that—set it up, and let it work for you.
Local Service Providers Plumbers, electricians, gardeners, cleaners, hairdressers, personal trainers—if you provide local services, you need local customers to find you. Our Starter Package includes local SEO basics to help you appear in local searches.
Professional Services on a Budget Accountants, solicitors, consultants, therapists—professionals who need credibility online but don’t require complex functionality. Our Starter Package establishes your professional presence effectively.
Businesses Replacing Outdated Websites Is your current website from 2010? Not mobile-friendly? Our Starter Package is a cost-effective way to modernise your online presence without breaking the bank.
Testing the Waters Not sure how much you’ll use a website? Start here. You can always upgrade to our Professional or Premium packages as your business grows and your needs evolve.
Businesses with Limited Budgets We get it—money is tight when you’re growing a business. Our Starter Package delivers professional results at an entry-level price point, making professional web design accessible to everyone.
This package isn’t ideal for:
- E-commerce businesses needing online selling functionality
- Businesses requiring 10+ pages of content
- Complex booking or membership systems
- Large established businesses needing advanced features
- Businesses requiring custom programming or integrations
For these requirements, explore our Bespoke or E-commerce Website Packages which offer expanded functionality and features.
We Only Use Industry Leading Software.
What Makes Our Starter Package Stand Out?
Not Just Another Cheap Template
Many agencies offering “budget” websites simply install a pre-made template, swap your logo in, and call it done. That’s not what we do. Our Starter Package websites are professionally designed with your brand, industry, and target customers in mind.
3 Page Website
Three pages is the sweet spot for small business websites. It’s enough to cover your essentials without overwhelming visitors. Typically, this includes:
Home Page – Your digital shopfront. We create an engaging homepage that explains what you do, who you serve, and why customers should choose you. Clear calls-to-action guide visitors to contact you.
Services Page – Detail what you offer with clear descriptions, benefits, and pricing (if applicable). Help potential customers understand exactly how you can help them.
Contact Page – Make it easy for customers to reach you with a contact form, phone number, email, address, and embedded Google Map showing your location.
Need a different structure? We’ll customise the 3 pages to suit your business needs—whether that’s separate service pages, a page, or FAQ page.
Free Domain Name
Your domain name is your online address—we make securing one simple:
- Guidance on choosing the perfect domain name
- Domain registration handled on your behalf
- UK-based hosting for fast loading speeds
- SSL certificate included (essential for Google rankings and security)
- 99.9% uptime guarantee
- Daily automatic backups
- First year included in package price
After completion the hosting cost is £20/month —significantly cheaper than maintaining it yourself.
One Professional Email Addresses
Stop using Gmail or Hotmail for business. Professional email addresses build trust:
- yourname@yourbusiness.co.uk
- info@yourbusiness.co.uk
- sales@yourbusiness.co.uk
- Any other addresses you need
Professional emails are fully managed, spam-filtered, and accessible from desktop, mobile, and webmail. We’ll help you set them up on all your devices.
Up to 10 Professional Images
Quality imagery transforms a basic website into a professional one. We include:
- 10 professionally sourced stock images
- Licensed for commercial use
- Optimised for fast loading
- Chosen to match your industry and brand
Have your own photos? Even better! We’ll optimise them for web use and ensure they look perfect on all devices.
Technical Support - We've Got Your Back
Your Starter Package includes ongoing technical support:
- Help with technical issues or errors
- Guidance on updating content
- Security updates and WordPress core updates
- Backup monitoring
- Email and phone support during business hours
You’re never alone—if something goes wrong, we’re here to help.
Mobile-Responsive Design - Perfect on Every Device
Over 60% of website traffic comes from mobile devices. Every Starter Website is:
- Fully responsive across all screen sizes
- Tested on iPhone, Android, tablets, and desktops
- Touch-friendly navigation for mobile users
- Fast-loading on mobile networks
- Google mobile-friendly certified
Mobile responsiveness is also a Google ranking factor—meaning mobile-friendly websites rank higher in search results.
Contact Form Integration
Generate enquiries with a professional contact form:
- Spam-protected with reCAPTCHA
- Mobile-friendly design
- Email notifications when enquiries arrive
- Customisable fields (name, email, phone, message)
- GDPR compliant
Your contact form is strategically positioned to maximise enquiries from interested visitors.

What Our Clients Say.
As a roller shutter business owner in Teesside, I’ve tried a few marketing agencies in the past that simply don’t care about delivering good results.
After having initial conversations with Andy about my online presence and what I needed, he spent time to discuss options. What impressed me most was how extremely patient he was throughout the process and how transparent he was about his services and pricing – no hidden fees or unrealistic promises.
Andy has really helped transform both my website design and citation management. It’s refreshing to work with someone who actually listens to your needs and delivers on their commitments.
I would highly recommend Smart Choice Digital to any business looking for genuine results and honest service.
Thank you very much.

After working with Garry previously through another provider, when their services ceased to exist Garry helped us with a seamless transition to smart choice digital. He was in regular contact with updates, answered all our questions, and helped build us a beautiful new website that we are able to edit and collaborate with him on now and into the future. We are so impressed with the service they’ve provided and would definitely recommend them to any other businesses needing digital marketing support!
