One person to talk to
Work directly with me, Brett, from the first conversation through to ongoing support.
Where the £150 goes
No hidden extras this is the whole first year cost, laid out clearly.
Then just £50/year
Covers hosting, SSL and domain management, so your website stays online, secure and renewed. No surprise bills.
Optional add-on · £10/month
Don't just get online. Understand how you're being found.
Most small-business owners have never looked at their Google Business Profile or Search Console, and nobody explains it in plain English. Google Growth & Care plan is me keeping an eye on your search performance every month, explaining what it means, and making small practical improvements. I won't just build your website and disappear.
What I check every month
- Your Google Search Console performance
- Which searches are bringing people to your site
- Your Google Business Profile
- Page titles & meta descriptions
What you receive
- A simple monthly report, explained in plain English
- Practical recommendations to improve visibility
- Basic on-page SEO improvements as needed
- One small website content update per month
Honestly: nobody can guarantee you'll rank first on Google, and I won't tell you otherwise. What I can do is monitor your performance, explain what's happening, and make sensible improvements designed to help your visibility over time.
Online shops
Sell online, without losing control.
A full online shop, built on my own e-commerce management system so you can update products, prices and stock yourself, whenever you like, without touching a line of code.
Why the £20/month?
Your online shop runs on a database backed management system, not a static page. The £20/month covers the infrastructure that keeps your shop, your product data and your management dashboard running securely, so you're never stuck waiting on me just to change a price or update stock.
- Manage products, prices & stock yourself
- Update descriptions & images anytime
- Secure hosting for your shop & database

About me
Hi, I'm Brett.
CooleyCode is just me. No account managers, no agency runaround. When you get in touch, you're talking directly to the person who designs, builds and looks after your website.
I started CooleyCode because I don't think a small local business should have to spend thousands of pounds just to have a decent website. I try to explain things in plain English, keep pricing honest, and stick around after launch rather than disappearing once you've paid.

Frequently asked questions.
Is £150 really the total first-year cost for a business website?
Yes. £150 covers your website build, first year hosting and domain management in full. There's nothing extra to pay in year one.
What happens after the first year?
Your website renews at £50/year, which covers hosting, SSL and domain management so your site stays online and secure.
Do I own my domain?
Yes, the domain is registered for your business. I handle the technical management and renewals as part of your yearly fee, so you don't have to deal with that side of things yourself.
What is Google Growth & Care?
It's an optional £10/month service where I monitor your Google Search Console and Business Profile, explain what's happening in plain English, and make small practical improvements each month.
Can you guarantee I'll rank first on Google?
No and anyone who promises that isn't being honest with you. What I can do is monitor your performance, give you clear guidance, and make sensible improvements designed to help your visibility over time.
Why does e-commerce cost £20/month?
Your online shop runs on a database backed management system rather than a static page. The £20/month covers the infrastructure that keeps your shop and your management dashboard running securely.
Can I manage my own products and stock?
Yes. Every e-commerce site includes access to your own management system, so you can update products, prices, stock and descriptions yourself, whenever you need to.
Do I have to take Google Growth & Care?
No, it's entirely optional for both business websites and online shops. You can add it whenever you're ready.
Do e-commerce customers have to pay the £20/month?
Yes. It's required for every online shop, as it covers the management system and infrastructure your shop runs on.
Can I cancel Google Growth & Care?
Yes — just get in touch with me directly and we'll sort it out. It's a straightforward conversation, not a form to fill in.
