FAQs

Questions, answered plainly.

Website design

How much is a BRIGHT / forma website?

Our standard website package is £495 one-off.

Is it really £495?

Yes. We've designed a streamlined process that allows us to produce excellent small-business websites efficiently. The lower price comes from a clearly defined scope, modern technology and a smarter production process — not from removing the thinking.

What is included in the £495 website package?

The standard package includes: initial business briefing and onboarding, basic brand direction, website structure, website copy, professional design and build, up to five core pages, responsive mobile and desktop design, standard contact or enquiry forms, basic on-page SEO, relevant standard links and integrations, one consolidated round of revisions, and reasonable assistance getting the website live.

How many pages are included?

Up to five core pages are included in the standard £495 package.

What counts as a page?

Typical pages might include Home, About, Services, Projects or Gallery and Contact. We'll recommend the most useful structure for your business.

What if I need more than five pages?

That's fine. Additional pages can be quoted separately.

Can you build a larger website?

Yes. If your project needs significantly more pages, complex functionality or a more bespoke approach, we'll provide a separate quotation.

Do you write the website copy?

Yes. Copy for the agreed pages is included within the standard website package.

Do I need to write everything myself?

No. We'll gather the information we need from you and shape it into clear website copy. You simply need to give us accurate information about your business.

What do I need to provide?

We'll usually need information about your business, services, customers, contact details and any existing assets such as logos, photographs, domains, booking links or existing website content.

What if I don't have professional photographs?

We can work with suitable photographs you already have and discuss other options if better imagery is required. Professional photography and paid stock imagery are not included within the standard £495 package.

Do I need a logo?

No. If you already have branding, we'll work with it. If you don't, basic visual direction can be developed as part of the website project.

Is full branding included?

No. The £495 package includes basic brand direction rather than a full standalone brand identity project. More extensive branding can be quoted separately.

Can you refresh my existing website instead of building a new one?

Yes, but a website refresh is the same £495 price as a new website within our standard scope.

Why isn't a refresh cheaper?

Because refreshing an existing website often takes as much time — and sometimes more — than starting again. Working around old layouts, structures, content and technology can also limit the result.

Do you prefer to rebuild or refresh?

Where appropriate, we usually recommend a rebuild. Starting with a clean structure gives us greater freedom to improve the design, messaging and overall user experience. Our aim is to give you the strongest result rather than preserve an existing website simply because it already exists.

Can you improve my existing Wix website?

Yes. We can review an existing Wix website and recommend whether it is better to refresh it or rebuild it.

Can you move everything from my old website?

Useful content can often be reused. Large-scale content migration, extensive blog archives or complex databases may need to be quoted separately.

What platform will my website be built on?

Our first choice is usually Wix. We work across the Wix ecosystem and select the most appropriate Wix setup for the project. We can also use newer AI-led website platforms such as Lovable, Base44 or other suitable technology where there is a genuine benefit.

Do you build in Wix Studio?

Yes. We can work across the appropriate Wix Studio environments as well as Wix Classic / Wix Editor.

Why is Wix usually your first choice?

For most small businesses, Wix provides an excellent balance of professional design, reliability, functionality, ease of management and room to grow. It also makes it easier for clients to manage straightforward changes themselves.

Do you build websites using AI?

Yes — where it makes sense. We can build using platforms such as Lovable, Base44 and other emerging AI-first technology.

Does that mean my website is automatically generated by AI?

No. AI and modern technology can accelerate parts of research, development, design and production. The strategy, structure, copy, creative direction and final decisions are still shaped by people.

Can I request Lovable or Base44?

Yes. If you have a specific platform preference, tell us before the project begins. We'll confirm whether we believe it's appropriate for what you need.

Can I choose the platform?

You're welcome to tell us your preference. Unless a particular platform is important to you, we'll recommend the technology we believe gives your business the best result.

Why wouldn't you always use the newest AI platform?

Because newer does not automatically mean better. For many businesses, Wix is the most practical long-term solution. For other projects, newer technology may offer useful functionality or flexibility. We choose based on the project rather than forcing every website onto the same platform.

Can I move my website to another platform later?

Potentially, but websites generally cannot simply be transferred exactly from one platform to another. A future platform move may involve rebuilding some or all of the website.

Can you use my existing domain?

Usually, yes. If you already own a suitable domain, we can normally help connect it to your new website.

Do I need to buy a domain?

Only if you don't already have one. Domain purchase and renewal costs are separate from the £495 website fee.

Is hosting included?

No. Your website platform, hosting plan, domain and any third-party subscriptions are separate from the BRIGHT / forma website fee.

Are there ongoing website costs?

Usually, yes. A live website normally needs a domain and a hosting or platform subscription. Some websites may also require optional third-party apps or services. We'll explain what is needed before launch.

Will I own my website?

Once applicable fees have been paid, you can use the final approved bespoke work created for your business. Where possible, your domain and platform accounts should remain under your control, subject to the terms of the relevant provider.

Will I be able to edit my own website?

In most cases, yes. One of the reasons we favour Wix is that everyday website content can usually be managed without needing a developer. If we use another platform, we'll explain how ongoing management will work.

Will my website work properly on mobiles?

Yes. The website will be designed responsively for desktop, tablet and mobile screens.

Can my website have a contact form?

Yes. Standard contact and enquiry forms are included.

Can you connect my booking system?

Standard booking links and straightforward integrations can usually be included. More complex booking systems may need a separate quotation.

Can you build an online shop for £495?

No. Ecommerce websites sit outside the standard £495 package because they require additional setup, products, payments and functionality. Ask us and we can provide a separate quotation.

Can you build membership areas or client portals?

Not within the standard £495 package. Membership systems, portals and bespoke applications require additional development.

Can you build a multilingual website?

Yes, but multilingual functionality is outside the standard £495 scope and would be quoted separately.

How quickly can my website be ready?

Our target turnaround is seven working days once we have everything reasonably required to begin.

Does the seven-day turnaround start when I pay?

Not necessarily. The project timetable begins once we have the information, access, assets and content required to start the work.

Is seven working days guaranteed?

It is a target rather than an unconditional guarantee. Timings may change if information, access or feedback is delayed, if the requirements change or if third-party technical issues arise.

How much input do you need from me?

We've deliberately made the process simple. We need you to complete the onboarding information, provide any necessary assets and review the website promptly when it is presented.

Will I see my website before it goes live?

Yes. You'll have the opportunity to review the website before launch.

How quickly do I need to provide feedback?

Once your website is ready for review, we ask you to provide your consolidated feedback within five working days. This allows us to keep your project within its scheduled production window.

What happens if I don't send feedback within five working days?

The project timetable will pause. Time spent waiting for your feedback is not included within the seven-working-day turnaround.

What happens if I still haven't responded after ten working days?

If we haven't received the information or feedback required after ten working days, we may archive the project and release the production slot. Your project can still be restarted later, subject to our current availability.

Can I send feedback a little bit at a time?

We ask you to send one consolidated set of feedback rather than sending individual changes over several days. This keeps the project efficient and prevents conflicting amendments.

How many rounds of changes are included?

One consolidated round of reasonable revisions within the agreed scope is included.

What does one revision round mean?

You review the website as a whole and send us one complete set of reasonable changes. We then implement those agreed amendments.

What if I completely change my mind about the design?

A revision is an adjustment to the agreed design direction rather than a completely new brief or restart. Significant changes in direction may require an additional quotation.

Can I keep asking for changes until I'm completely happy?

The standard package does not include unlimited revisions. Additional work can be carried out separately if required.

What happens if I disappear for several weeks?

We understand that businesses get busy, but projects cannot remain open indefinitely. If we are waiting for feedback, information, access or approval for an extended period, the project may be archived. When you are ready to restart, it will be scheduled around current availability.

Who checks that the website information is correct?

We take care when preparing your website, but you know your business best. You are responsible for checking important factual information such as prices, services, contact details, legal information and business-specific claims before approving the website.

Will you help me get the website live?

Yes. Reasonable launch assistance is included.

What happens after my website launches?

You can manage future updates yourself, ask us to quote for additional work or subscribe to Website Care.

Can you guarantee my website will generate enquiries or sales?

No. A strong website can improve how your business is perceived and make it easier for potential customers to understand and contact you. However, no website provider can responsibly guarantee leads, sales or revenue.

SEO

Is SEO included with my website?

Basic on-page SEO is included.

What does basic SEO mean?

It means your website will have a sensible foundation including appropriate page structure, headings, titles and standard on-page optimisation. It is not the same as an ongoing SEO campaign.

Do you offer ongoing SEO?

Yes. Specialist SEO can be quoted separately according to the needs of the business and website.

Can you guarantee I'll be number one on Google?

No. No responsible agency can guarantee a specific Google ranking. We can improve the structure and visibility of your website, but search results are controlled by search engines and influenced by many factors.

How long does SEO take?

Some improvements can be implemented quickly, but meaningful search visibility generally develops over weeks and months rather than overnight.

Can SEO help me appear in AI search results?

Good website structure, useful content and clear business information can help AI and search platforms understand your business. However, inclusion or prominence in AI-generated search results cannot be guaranteed.

Web care

What is Website Care?

Website Care is an optional monthly service for businesses that want BRIGHT / forma to handle small ongoing website changes.

How much does Website Care cost?

£49 per month.

What is included?

Website Care includes up to 30 minutes of minor website updates each billing month.

What kind of changes can I request?

Typical requests include: text changes, price updates, opening hours, contact information, replacing supplied images, changing existing links or buttons, and other small updates to existing pages.

Does unused time roll over?

No. The allowance resets each month and unused time does not accumulate.

Why doesn't unused time roll over?

Website Care is designed as an affordable ongoing availability service rather than a bank of development hours.

What if my request takes longer than 30 minutes?

We'll let you know before carrying out additional chargeable work.

Can I use Website Care to create new pages?

No. New pages and larger changes fall outside the standard Website Care package and can be quoted separately.

Can Website Care be used for a redesign?

No. Significant redesigns and development projects are outside the scope of Website Care.

Does Website Care include SEO?

No. SEO is a separate service.

Does Website Care include hosting?

No. Hosting, platform subscriptions, domains and third-party services are separate.

Is Website Care only for websites you've built?

It is primarily intended for websites we have built because we already understand the site and technology. If someone else built your website, ask us first.

Can I cancel Website Care?

Yes. Cancel before your next renewal date and your service will continue until the end of the current paid billing period.

Social

How much is Social Media?

Our standard Social Media service is £99 per month.

Is there a long-term contract?

No. It is a monthly subscription which continues until cancelled.

What is included for £99 per month?

The standard service includes: two planned pieces of content each week, content adapted for Facebook and Instagram, caption writing, scheduling, simple branded graphics where required, straightforward content planning, and use of suitable reviews and user-generated content where available.

Does that mean four separate posts each week?

No. It means two core pieces of content each week which are adapted and published across Facebook and Instagram.

Which platforms are included?

Facebook and Instagram.

Do you write the captions?

Yes.

Do you create graphics?

Simple branded graphics are included where required. Extensive graphic design is not included within the £99 package.

Do I need to provide photographs?

Where possible, we use suitable photographs and content supplied by your business.

Do you come to my business and create content?

Regular photography and content shoots are not included. These can be arranged separately where available.

Are Reels and videos included?

Regular bespoke video production and filming are outside the standard £99 package.

Do you reply to comments and messages?

No. Community management, inbox management and customer service are not included.

Are Facebook and Instagram adverts included?

No. Paid advertising and advertising spend are separate.

Do you guarantee follower growth?

No. Reach, engagement and follower growth are affected by many factors, including the social platforms themselves.

Will social media generate sales?

Consistent social media can help your business stay visible and professional, but we cannot guarantee enquiries, sales or revenue.

Do I need to give you my passwords?

Not necessarily. Where possible, we use official platform access and permissions rather than requesting passwords.

Do I still own my social accounts?

Yes. Your business remains responsible for ownership and security of its social media accounts.

Can I approve content before it goes live?

Approval arrangements can be agreed where appropriate. If approval is required, feedback needs to be supplied promptly so content is not delayed.

What if I don't send you information or content?

If we are waiting for information, imagery, access or approval, content may be delayed or unable to be published. The monthly subscription will still continue.

Do unused posts roll into the next month?

No. Unused posting capacity does not automatically carry forward where we have been unable to proceed because we are waiting for information, assets, access or approval.

Can I send you events, offers and news to promote?

Yes. The more useful information you give us about what is happening within the business, the more relevant the content can be.

Can you use my customer reviews?

Yes. Genuine customer reviews can make excellent social content.

Can I cancel the Social Media service?

Yes. Cancel before your next renewal date and the service will continue until the end of the current paid billing period.
