Brand new, or rebuilt from Wix, Squarespace or WordPress. We build it first, you see it at a preview link, and you only pay if you love it. From £49 a month with nothing up front.
RECENT BUILDS
See all the work ▸LIVE sites are up and running for their owners. COMMISSIONED means the owner has said yes and it's on the way. CONCEPTS are ones we built unprompted to show an owner what their site could be, with the business renamed where it says ANONYMISED.
WHAT WE DO
A website designed around your trade and built from scratch. No templates, no page builders, nothing off the shelf.
We write the copy too. Plain English that sounds like you, not like a brochure. The kind of words that turn a visit into a phone call.
We sort the boring bits. Domain, hosting, search engines, your Google Business Profile so you can show up on Maps, and a review link to send customers. Then we stay on it if you want us to: £49 a month with the looking-after included, or a one-off price and it's yours.
Moving off Wix, Squarespace or WordPress doesn't mean starting again. You keep your domain and your email, and we redirect every old page to its new address so anyone following an old link or search result lands in the right place.
One call, and you know the price before anything starts.
Tell us about the business, what you do and where you do it. There's nothing to pay to get going.
You watch it take shape at a private preview link.
Say what you think, change what you like. It's your site. Most builds take two to three weeks from that first call to going live.
Not happy? Walk away, and you've paid nothing.
Happy with it? It goes live and the £49 a month starts, with hosting, the domain and every change you ever need included. It's yours outright after a year.
Because small businesses get the worst websites. Big agencies aren't interested, template sites all look the same, and neither cares whether your phone rings. We do.
The person building yours is me, Dan. I test software for a living, finding the faults other people miss.
WHAT CLIENTS SAY 5.0 on Google from 3 reviews
Dan has recently redesigned our website for us and we couldn't be happier! The website page is sleek, efficient and provides weekly analytics on page performance. Nothing was too much trouble and we're very happy with the outcome. We would highly recommend Little Oceans!

… Dan gave me some options and left me to decide, I didnt feel pushed with no hard sales. Dan was very thorough throughout and delivered exactly what he said he was going to do and very promptly. I will be using Little Oceans for all my current platforms from now on. Highly recommend.

PROUD TO WORK WITH
WHAT IT COSTS
Most people take the monthly plan, with the looking-after included and the site yours after a year. If you'd rather pay once and own it from day one, there's a price for that too.
£49 a monthnothing up front
Less than one call-out. We build the site, you pay from the month it goes live, and we stay on it. New photos, new prices, new wording. Ring or message us, it's done.
from £500once, no monthly fee
Same site, paid for once, when it goes live and you've seen it. We build it, we hand it over, and that's the end of the bill. Nothing leaves your account every month.
priced per jobthe big builds
Bigger sites, more pages, online booking. Tell us what you're after and we'll give you a straight number.
Stop the monthly plan before a year and there's nothing more to pay; the site just comes down. Want to keep it? Make up the difference to a year's fees (£588) and it's yours.
Wondering how it's this much less than the agency down the road? No account managers, no offices, no reselling somebody else's template with your logo dropped in the corner. AI speeds up the first draft, and the person you spoke to on the phone does everything else: your real photos and wording, the checking and the changes. So you're paying for the build rather than the overhead behind it. The monthly plan is the same site on the same terms, spread out, with the looking-after included.
Not sure which fits? Neither are most people. Send us a message and we'll tell you straight, even if the answer is the cheap one.
START A PROJECT
Tell us what you do and where you do it, whether it's a new site, a rebuild or an audit. We'll come back within a day with straight answers, and if it's a fit we start. Most sites are live two to three weeks after that, and you pay nothing until you've seen it.
WHAT A BAD SITE COSTS
Nobody rings up to say your contact form isn't working. A bad website doesn't break loudly, it just stops earning, and everything looks normal from where you're standing.
A quiet fortnight.
One enquiry form had been half moved between two form handling services, three of its four settings still pointing at the old one, so it may not have been delivering at all.
Fewer calls than last year.
On one site the town it worked in appeared once, in the footer, in plain text. Not on the homepage, not on the services page.
Plenty of visits. Hardly any enquiries.
One homepage weighed 15.9MB and phones were sent every byte of it, on whatever signal they happened to have.
AUDITS & REVIEWS
Not everyone needs a rebuild. Plenty of sites are three fixes away from working properly, and nobody has ever told the owner which three. We go through every page of yours and write up what we find in plain English.
You keep the findings whether you use us or not. If someone else built your site, the report is written so you can forward it to them exactly as it is.
There's a reason it's worth more than a scanner. The person going through your site tests software for a living and has done for more than fifteen years, wrote a book on finding faults, and is a moderator on the biggest public forum where software testers answer each other's questions, voted in by the testers themselves. Most website reviews are a web designer running a free scanner and printing what it says.
