Free up precious time, save money, and turbocharge your online marketing

Our new subscription packages allow you to benefit from a website designed and built by a professional developer, but without significant upfront costs.

This frees-up the time you would normally spend getting to grips with a site-builder or learning to use a content management solution (CMS), leaving you with additional funds to start or grow your business. Crucially, this affords you the important competitive edge a professional website delivers over your competitors.

The advantages of a professional website were explored in my recent post, Should you get a professional website or go DIY? This explains how a professional website is now far more accessible, and why that matters to the success of your business.

A web presence as professional as your business

The choice between an online site builder or a website built by a professional developer has often come down to the initial outlay. With Honeystone's new subscription packages, this no longer has to be the case.

For £150 (ex. VAT) per month over 24 months, we will design and build you a professional website with five distinctly styled pages, plus the ability to easily add as many additional pages as you wish. Simply select an existing template library, and we will customise it to your requirements and in line with your brand.

Your monthly subscription includes TypedCMS and basic hosting on a fast modern server, located in the United Kingdom. Server maintenance and unlimited content updates are also covered.

After 24 months, you can review which ongoing maintenance services you would like going forward or you can take your website away and host it yourself.

You could also opt to connect your site to a different CMS. However we are confident that once you have experienced TypedCMS you will not want to lose the many benefits it delivers!

Custom components (e.g. blog, portfolio, gallery, testimonials, case-studies, team, etc) are also available and cost an additional £500 each. They will of course be themed to match your design and brand. Other services such as logo design, branding, photography and copywriting are available, but we will be delighted if you provide your own, or a freelancer of your choosing for us to work with.

More details of how pricing works can be found on our pricing page.

Gain an edge on your competition with superior performance, scalability and security

Honeystone’s subscription websites are built on the modern Laravel Framework as opposed to WordPress or a (low-code/no-code) online site builder.

Laravel is now used by, among others, the BBC, Tesla and Pfizer, and is increasingly the platform of choice because of its superior performance in terms of speed, scalability and security. These things all matter a great deal when you want to stand out and make an impression in an increasingly competitive marketplace.

A subscription website built on Laravel puts you in control and gives you options:

• You may decide that cost is your main priority and choose our barebones service which starts at £25 a month (this is only available for Upfront and Spread Subscription websites).
• Alternatively if you need to continue optimising performance and facilitating search engine friendliness we can deliver packages to take care of that.
• Most importantly, if you want to grow your site and add new functionality, Laravel and TypedCMS together let you do that cost effectively and without having to throw away your existing website investments.

Simple powerful editing to help boost your content marketing and SEO

For as long as you remain with us, we will include a subscription to TypedCMS, enabling you to make fast, easy edits from a computer, tablet or smartphone.

TypedCMS is super easy to use, highly configurable and can grow organically, should you decide to add more features or types of content further down the line.

As well as making it a pleasure to update your content, TypedCMS can help facilitate Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) of your Search Engine Friendly (SEF) website, thus making it easier for users to find you. SEF features include:

• Secure HTTPS connection - yes, Google ranks on this
• Advanced metadata
• Schema JSON-LD
• Structured data (Rich results)
• Canonicalization
• Performance (site loading speed) - Google ranks on this too
• An XML sitemap which is updated daily
• Breadcrumb navigation

First impressions only count to one!

When it comes to first impressions one is the magic number. You only get one chance to make a first impression, and the majority of visitors will form that impression within the first second of landing.

My article Your website should be as good as your business, talks about what you need to do to create a great first impression.

This checklist is broadly what we will use to make sure your website site does not fall at the first hurdle - as so many do.

Putting accessibility and user privacy at the forefront

In line with The Equality Act 2010, W3C Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2/3.0 standards and web development best practices, we will aim to make your website and content as usable as possible by people with special requirements.

We target a minimum standard of WCAG 2.1 at a AA rating. This is close to meeting WCAG 3.0, but please note there may be some differences.

We also highly recommend Fathom Analytics which we can integrate at no cost, and CookieYes, a GDPR cookie consent mechanism.
