Ready to Get Started with your Free Website?

We’ve been building websites since 2011, during that time the industry has changed a lot. Today, most of our revenue comes from ongoing services such as hosting, support, integrations, AI automations, and digital marketing. Of course, none of those services are effective without a well-built website.

Website Overview

Yes, the website is really free. Our idea is simple: start by helping.

We’ll design and build your entire website free of charge, so there’s nothing stopping you from getting online. There are a few exclusions*, and free websites must be hosted and supported exclusively by Spotlight Studios.

Hosting & Support

We have to keep the lights on somehow, so all hosting and support services are chargeable. 

We provide as much upfront value as possible by designing your website completely free of charge. In the past, this service would have cost between £2,000 and £5,000, but for you, it’s now £0. Prices range from:

Hosting and Licenses only

  • £50/m on a 3 year commitment
  • £65/m on a 12 month commitment
  • £95/m on a 30 day commitment

Add-ons

  • Security & Maintenance (from +£15/m)
  • Help & Support (from +£20/m)
  • Private Server (from +£40/m)

How long will it take to build my website?

Most websites are completed in around five days. Our process is collaborative from start to finish — we’ll begin by designing your homepage and gathering your feedback before moving on to the remaining pages. All communication takes place through our dedicated project app, where you can review progress and chat directly with your designer.

Once approved, your site will go live, followed by five days of free post-launch support for any adjustments or technical assistance.

*Exclusions: Unless otherwise agreed, graphic design, e-commerce, and custom development (or similar more advance requirements) are not included in this promotion but can be added on as paid extras. While the website design may be free, hosting, maintenance, and support are not. Free websites can only be hosted and supported by Spotlight Studios and cannot be self-hosted or migrated at a later point without additional fees.

Is the Website Design Free?
Yes, the website design is free as part of this promotion. We’ll build as much as possible at no cost; however, there are a few exclusions to note. Unless otherwise agreed, graphic design, e-commerce functionality, custom development, or other advanced features are not included but can be added as paid extras. Please note that while the website design itself is free, hosting, maintenance, and support services are chargeable.
Can I host the website myself
Websites created under the Free Website Promotion must be hosted and supported exclusively by Spotlight Studios. Self-hosting or migrating the website to another provider is not permitted unless additional fees are agreed to cover the transfer and associated costs.
Can I migrate the website away in the future?
Yes, you can. However, this would no longer fall under the “Free Website Promotion”. A migration fee would apply to cover the initial build cost of the website before it can be transferred to another hosting provider.
What does “Hosting and Licenses only” mean?
This fee covers your website hosting and any standard licences required for your site to operate. Standard licences typically include the website’s theme or framework, along with any plugins used to build it. If your website requires additional or premium features, extra licensing costs may apply — however, these will always be discussed and agreed with you before the project begins.
What is the Happiness Guarantee
The “cherry on top” of this promotion is that it’s 100% risk free for you. If you’re not 100% happy with our work you can let us know prior to going live and no matter which package you opted for, we can shake hands and you’re free to walk away with no obligations or payments due!
Can I cancel anytime
This depends on the agreement you choose. For a 30-day rolling commitment, a minimum of 30 days’ notice is required to cancel. However, if you’ve signed up for a fixed-term contract (such as 12 or 36 months), you may give notice at any time, but your agreement will remain in place until the end of the contracted term — similar to how a mobile phone contract works.

Manchester Media Group have been working happily with Spotlight Studios for years, but they were particularly helpful this year when Fuse FM, our radio station, went through a rebrand. Pete was patient and attentive to all of our requests and transformed our website from one that had slowly fallen out of use to a modern, sleek one that we love and truly reflects our new direction as a radio station.

We approached Spotlight Studios to rebuild our company website and assist with the integration of the Learning Management System and eCommerce Gateway. From the outset, the team at Spotlight Studios have been nothing short of awesome. The speedy responses to any queries, requests and additional requirements is first class. Their ability to deliver what was asked for, with a few recommended tweaks that come from experience has resulted in a superb, fit for purpose website. If you are looking for a company that doesn’t overcharge you, that works with you, advises and delivers, then I cannot recommend them enough. Cheers to Peter and the team for your ongoing assistance.

I lost my website and was unable to recover it from the original source. Spotlight did an amazing job of restoring it from cached content and setting it back up.

Would highly recommend to anyone. Professional and fast service.

As our business was growing, we called Spotlight Studios in to help us deal with our digital infrastructure as we expanded. The guys were great to work with. They provided tailored solutions for what we needed and the result was great. I will continue to use them as we grow and highly recommend them as a company.

Peter and his team built us an incredible website which the team at North Property Group are delighted with; we have spoken with various web design companies and Spotlight are by far the most informative, helpful, efficient and reactive. Our site was complicated in many ways and they have made it work seamlessly. I would recommend this company to anyone looking to have a website built and cannot thank the team enough for all of their help.

After designing our new company website which is excellent, Spotlight Studios are always on hand for expert advice and assistance. As well as providing training on word press, Spotlight Studios provide focused ongoing support including out of hours notifications on any suspicious activity.

Highly recommend Spotlight Studios for creative website design, image photography, email logo design and assurance that your website and emails are protected at all times.
