Websites for independent businesses, looked after for as long as you have them.

ForrestStudio is a web studio in Northumberland. We design and build each site, then keep it up to date on a monthly plan, with the same person looking after you from start to finish.

What happens after launch

Most websites are left alone once they go live. A few years later the opening hours are wrong and the design looks its age.

Every ForrestStudio site is on a monthly plan instead, which pays for us to keep looking after it. Plans run for 12 months, then month to month.

Changes
Small changes, like new opening hours or prices, are free. Bigger work is quoted upfront.
Updates
Security and software updates, tested before they go live.
Refreshes
When the design starts to look dated, we’ll suggest a refresh.
Hosting
Hosted on Cloudflare, with uptime monitoring.

Testing

Before a site launches, and again after every change, we check it on real phones, tablets and desktops, in Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Edge. We also go through it with a keyboard and a screen reader, and measure how quickly it loads on a slow connection.

Pricing

Every plan includes the design, build, hosting and upkeep. Plans have a 12-month minimum, then run month to month. Prices are fixed for your first two years; after that they may change in line with our costs, and we’ll always give notice.

Card payments go through Stripe, and Stripe’s fees are paid by the business taking the payment. Google Business Profile setup, photography, video, branding and email can be added to any plan; see services.

The same person, every time

Each client has one person at ForrestStudio who designs their site, builds it and looks after it afterwards. The person you email is the person who makes the change.

Most of our work comes through recommendations from people we’ve already worked with.
