The process
You always know what is happening, what I need from you and what comes next—from the first conversation to launch day.
We discuss your business, customers, goals and the information the website genuinely needs.
The visual direction and page structure are shaped around your brand before the final build is completed.
The approved direction becomes a fast, responsive website, with the agreed content and connections added.
After your review, the domain is connected, the important journeys are tested and the site goes live.
Feedback is built into the process before launch, so the finished website reflects the direction we agreed together.

About the company
SmartServe Websites is the web design and management service from SmartServe AI Ltd. Alongside professional websites, we develop an online booking system and email marketing software for hospitality and independent businesses.
There is no account-manager relay. Questions, feedback and decisions stay direct from the first conversation to launch.
You get the pages and features your customers need, without paying for fashionable extras that add no value.
Ongoing care is available from the same person who knows how the website was designed and built.
Frequently asked questions
The practical details about pricing, ownership, domains, timings and what ongoing care actually includes.
The standard service is for professional brochure websites: business information, services, galleries, menus, contact details, maps, enquiry forms and links to existing booking tools. Online shops, live inventory and complex web applications are outside the standard build and need a separate quote.
The standard website build is £395. Domain registration, unusually large content requirements and functionality outside the standard scope are priced separately and agreed with you before work begins.
Most small-business websites can be ready within one week once I have your content and business details. Custom features or more complex requirements may take longer, but we’ll agree on a clear timeline before work begins.
Usually your logo, preferred colours, business details, opening hours, services or menus, contact information and the best photographs you have. I will help organise that material into a clear website rather than expecting you to plan every page yourself.
Your domain should be registered in your business's name. Ownership and handover of the finished website are stated clearly in your project proposal; third-party software, fonts, images and services remain subject to their own licences.
Yes. I can help purchase or connect the domain and handle the technical setup. The domain cost is separate from the website-build price and, wherever practical, the registration will be held in your business's name.
Website Care costs £15 per month and covers managed hosting, SSL, monitoring, security updates, restoration and fixes to the existing agreed website. Larger changes or new features can be discussed and agreed separately.
Yes. The website can link to or embed many existing booking and reservation services. Building an entirely new booking system or another complex backend is a separate project and would be quoted independently.
