Most small business owners think they need to choose between an expensive agency or a cheap DIY option. Neither works. DIY builders like Wix and Squarespace limit your functionality, trap you in their ecosystem and provide no real support.
Big agencies quote £8,000–£15,000 for a site you could get for half the price. They sell you unnecessary features, keep you dependent on their team and your project becomes low priority among dozens of other clients.
Template sites damage credibility. Visitors can tell when you're using the same theme as 10,000 other businesses. A weak website signals that you're not serious about your business — and competitors with custom sites steal your customers.
Wix and Squarespace limit functionality, restrict SEO, lock you into their ecosystem and give you nothing to take with you.
£8k–£15k for a site you could get for half. Slow processes, low priority, and you never speak to the actual designer.
Same theme as 10,000 other businesses. First impressions matter — yours should be unmistakable.
A website built for your business, not adapted from a template. Your brand colours, fonts and photography on a design that reflects what makes your business worth choosing.
Your site is built mobile-first. Most of your customers will find you on a phone — your site needs to work flawlessly on a small screen first.
Optimised images, clean code and proper caching mean sub-3-second load times. Slow sites lose visitors before they see what you offer.
Meta titles, descriptions, heading structure, sitemap submission and Google Search Console included. Your site is ready to be found from day one.
Contact forms, quote requests and callback forms built and connected to your inbox or CRM. Every enquiry captured and delivered.
A CMS configured for non-technical users. Update text, swap images and add pages without needing a developer.
We'll come back within one working day with a clear plan and an honest forecast.
Wix, Squarespace and Weebly are cheap to start but limited by design. Custom is restricted, SEO suffers, mobile is poor and you're locked in. UNKNWN gives you full ownership for only slightly more upfront.
Freelancers are cheap but lack accountability. Projects run over. Communication is inconsistent. UNKNWN provides a full team, accountability, clear timelines and ongoing support.
Big agencies quote £8k–£15k and take months. Your project becomes lost in their process. UNKNWN delivers custom sites for £1,000–£5,000 with direct communication and faster turnaround.
DIY platforms force you to become a web designer. Steep learning curves. Amateur results. You waste weeks building when you should be running your business.
"UNKNWN transformed our ideas into a powerful brand and high performing website. They went beyond design, delivering SEO that keeps us ranking locally and generating leads every day. Strategic, creative and committed to results."
"We used Craig and the team in Wrexham for design, branding and website work and they were fantastic from start to finish. Professional, easy to deal with and quick turnaround."
"Rob and the guys at UNKNWN were really helpful and professional helping me make choices on my business logo and design. I'm really happy with how it's come out."
Most small business sites land between £1,000 and £5,000. The exact figure depends on number of pages, integrations needed and content readiness. We scope before quoting and there are no surprise invoices.
4 to 6 weeks for a 5–8 page site, assuming content is provided or agreed in the brief. We give you a fixed schedule on day one and stick to it.
Yes. Every build comes with a CMS configured for non-technical users plus a training session for your team. Update text, swap images, add pages without needing a developer.
