Escape expensive website hosting

If your website looks fine but you're paying too much to keep it online - or you're frustrated with a platform that's hard to leave - I can help you move.

I can create an exact copy of your existing website that looks identical to visitors, but costs a fraction of the price to host. Your site keeps its current design, and visitors won't notice any difference.

If you rarely update your site, this is often the smartest move. And if you do need to make regular changes, I can set up a simple editing system around your migrated site.

Use the contact form below to get in touch if this sounds like a good fit for your site.

Two types of website

Platform-based websites (like WordPress, Wix, or Squarespace) rebuild every page from a database each time someone visits. This needs more computing power, which means higher hosting costs. Think of it like a restaurant that cooks every dish from scratch for each customer.

Pre-built websites prepare all the pages in advance. When someone visits, the server just hands them the ready-made page - much faster, much cheaper to run. Think of it like a bakery that has everything ready on the shelf.

Why switch to a pre-built website?

Much cheaper hosting. You can host for free on services like Cloudflare Pages or Netlify, or pay very little elsewhere - including with me.

Faster for your visitors. Pages are ready to go, so they load almost instantly. Faster sites also rank better on Google.

Nothing to maintain. No software updates, no plugins to patch, no server to manage. Your hosting provider keeps everything online for you.

Very reliable. Fewer moving parts means fewer things that can break. Your site stays up.

More secure. Hackers break into sites through outdated software and plugins. Pre-built sites don't have that attack surface.

You can still make changes. I can set it up so you edit your content through simple text files. No complex editor needed - just change the text and your site updates.

No limits on customisation. You own the full source, so you can change anything - add sections, rearrange pages, update styles, whatever you need.

Still interactive. Contact forms, maps, image galleries, and other interactive features all work perfectly on pre-built sites.

When this approach isn't right

If you need live stock levels or booking availability. Sites that need to show real-time information (like "3 left in stock" or "available on Tuesday") need a database behind them. I can help with that too - see my custom web application services.

If you want a completely code-free editing experience. You might see some technical-looking files when editing, but I'll show you exactly which bits to change and which to ignore. Most people find it straightforward once they've done it once.
