Common questions.
Straight answers about plans, pricing, what is included, and how Keep works. If yours is not here, ask us directly.
01 - Plans & Pricing
What it costs and what you are committing to.
Which plan should I choose?
Pick by what your website is for. If you expect it to bring in enquiries and contribute to growth, Keep Core is the default. If downtime or delay carries a real business cost (multi-location, active campaigns, frequent updates), Keep Plus exists for that. See pricing
Why does Keep cost more than cheap hosting?
Cheap hosting keeps a server online. Keep keeps a website working. Those are different things. Hosting does not check your opening hours, monitor your contact form, or renew your certificate before it expires. You are paying for someone responsible, not just a server switched on.
Can I cancel?
Rolling monthly plans can be cancelled with 30 days' notice. No lock-in, no penalty. 12-month plans run for the agreed term. We keep clients because the service is worth it, not because of small print.
Can I upgrade or downgrade later?
Yes. Move between Core and Plus at any time with 30 days' notice. The site, the relationship, and the work continue. Only the level of attention changes.
02 - What's Included
What you get every month.
What do you actually do each month?
Certificates and DNS are checked. Uptime is monitored continuously. Security filtering runs in the background. Content updates are handled when you send them. A short plain-English report lands on the first of the month. Most of it is invisible to you. That is the point.
What counts as a content update?
Text changes, opening hours, phone numbers, addresses, images, menu links, and small page edits. Updating existing content is included at any time. New pages, redesigns, or new functionality are scoped and quoted separately.
What counts as an ongoing improvement?
A small refinement to the existing site that helps it work better, such as adjusting layout for clarity, improving load speed, tidying how a section reads, or a small change that supports enquiries. It is included with every plan. It is different from a content update, which is a specific change you request, and different from new pages, redesigns or new functionality, which are scoped separately. In short: keeping the site sharp is included; building something new is quoted.
Is SEO included?
On-page SEO structure is included with every plan and maintained as content changes: page titles, meta descriptions, heading structure, schema markup, image alt text and internal linking. When you add or update pages, the search structure is kept current. Ongoing SEO campaigns, backlink building, content marketing, local SEO retainers or paid advertising are not included unless scoped separately.
How quickly do you respond to requests?
Most normal requests are reviewed the same working day. Keep Core requests are handled promptly within normal working hours. Keep Plus requests receive priority handling and the fastest turnaround. Emergency issues, such as the website being offline, are treated separately from normal content changes.
03 - Getting Started
How the build works and what to expect.
How long does the build take?
Most sites are live within one week of us receiving your content, logo, and brand guidelines. We agree a timeline upfront.
Do I need to already have a website?
No. We build it as part of getting started. You can pay for an Essential Website Build as a one-off from £1,800, or spread the cost by choosing a build-included monthly plan for the first 12 months. Either way, your Keep plan covers everything from day one. See pricing
What is included in an Essential Website Build?
An Essential Website Build covers a straightforward business website with up to 5 standard pages, mobile-friendly design, contact form, on-page SEO structure, launch setup and domain connection. It assumes you provide your content, images, logo and business information. It does not include copywriting from scratch, e-commerce, booking systems, online ordering, integrations or complex functionality. If your website needs more than 5 pages or significant content structure, it will usually be scoped as a Business Website Build.
What if my website needs more than an Essential Website Build?
Then it is scoped separately as a Business Website Build, usually from £3,000, or a Custom Build quoted individually. This applies to restaurants, gyms, academies, multi-page service businesses, sites with booking or ordering systems, integrations, or any project requiring significant content structure or functionality. We agree the full scope and price in writing before any work begins.
04 - Technical & Coverage
Existing sites, security, and where we work.
I already have a website but I am unhappy with my hosting company. Can you help?
Yes, but the answer is usually a rebuild rather than a migration. Most existing small business websites run on WordPress or a website builder, which does not fit cleanly onto the Keep infrastructure. We start by reviewing your current site and setup. If it is outdated, fragile or built on a platform that creates ongoing risk, we will recommend rebuilding it. The goal is not to move your problems to a new host.
Can you look after my existing site?
Sometimes. We review the current setup first. If it fits the Keep model, we will explain the route. If it is fragile, outdated or dependent on old plugins, we will recommend rebuilding it instead. Most websites we take on are rebuilt into the Keep setup.
Do you support booking systems, online ordering or third-party integrations?
They are not included as standard. If your website needs booking, ordering, payments, delivery platform links, CRM connections or other integrations, we scope that separately before work begins. For some businesses, the best route is to link clearly to an existing trusted system rather than rebuild that functionality into the website.
What happens if my site goes down?
The site is monitored continuously, so availability problems are detected automatically, including outside working hours. The goal is to catch and resolve issues before your customers notice. Urgent issues affecting availability are prioritised. Keep Plus clients receive priority handling with a 4-hour incident response target during operational hours.
What if my site gets hacked?
We build sites that are secure by design. No common attack points, no maintenance gaps. The risk is significantly lower than most websites. It is built to avoid those problems in the first place.
Why not just use a website builder?
Website builders are designed to be easy to start, not reliable to depend on. Pricing changes. Platforms change. You are always at their mercy. Keep builds something you own, on infrastructure that is yours to keep, with someone accountable for keeping it running.
Do you build websites for restaurants and takeaways?
Yes. We build websites for restaurants and takeaways across Milton Keynes and the wider UK. Fast, mobile-first sites with your menu, opening hours, and contact details. Always up to date, always managed.
Do you build websites for tradespeople?
Yes. We build websites for plumbers, electricians, builders, and decorators across Milton Keynes and Buckinghamshire. Simple, effective sites built to win local work and kept up to date without any effort from you.
I am not based in Milton Keynes. Do you work nationally?
Yes. We are based in Milton Keynes but work with local businesses across the UK. Same service, same standards, wherever you are.
