Our websites cost more because they deliver far more than a typical cheap build — and the data proves why that matters for London businesses.

In 2026, 75–80% of London SME websites fail Google’s mobile speed standards, and 39.7% have visible defects. The median mobile load time sits around 6 seconds, which causes abandoned visits, lower rankings, and £1,000–£3,500 in lost monthly revenue for many small businesses.

Why our websites are faster than most agency or freelancer builds

Most agencies and freelancers rely on page builders, templates, shared hosting, and bloated plugins — all of which slow websites down. We don’t.

Our builds are faster because we use:

• Lightweight, custom themes instead of heavy templates

• Dedicated cloud hosting instead of cheap shared servers

• Minimal plugins instead of plugin‑stacked builds

• Optimised images, scripts, and caching instead of default settings

• Clean code instead of drag‑and‑drop page builders

• Performance monitoring instead of “launch and forget” builds

This is why our websites consistently load 2–3× faster than typical SME sites built by generalist agencies or freelancers.

That’s why our pricing reflects real performance work: Fast hosting, custom builds, speed optimisation, security, SEO structure, and responsive London‑based support.

Cheap sites stay slow. Fast sites make money. That’s the difference.

Website as a Service (WaaS) is a subscription‑based model where you get a professionally designed website along with hosting, maintenance, updates, and ongoing support for a monthly or annual fee. Instead of paying a large upfront cost, which often does not include maintenance or renewal, you spread the investment over time. Your website stays live, secure, updated, and fully managed without you ever needing to worry about renewals or technical upkeep.

Your subscription typically includes:

• Website design and development
• Hosting and security
• Ongoing updates and maintenance
• Technical support
• Basic SEO setup
• Content updates (depending on plan)
• Access to additional digital services like graphics or social media (plan dependent)

You own your content, branding, and business data. AllStack Web retains ownership of the website framework, design system, and backend infrastructure unless a buyout option is completed.

Our Website‑as‑a‑Service plans include a minimum contract period, which ensures we can deliver, maintain, and support your website effectively. Once the minimum term is fulfilled, you can cancel with no additional fees, and your services will remain active until the end of your current billing cycle.
