How we work
Most people who come to us have been burned before, by a cheap agency that vanished, or per-seat software that kept charging. So we made the way we work the opposite of that: proof first, a price agreed up front, and a domain that is always yours.
Four steps, no risk to you
Before any money changes hands, you see the actual work. This is the part most agencies won't do, because it puts the risk on them.
-
Step 1: Request
Tell us what you need. A quick form, no sales call required.
-
Step 2: Draft
We design and build your homepage, live, before you have paid anything.
-
Step 3: Review
Open it on a private link. Click through it. Show your team.
-
Step 4: Decide
Love it and we carry on. Do not, and you walk away owing nothing.
Build, then run: not build, then gone
A website or platform is not finished at launch; that is where the real work starts. Because we operate our own software, we build for the long haul from day one.
See it first
We design and build your homepage on a private link before you have paid anything. Love it and we carry on; don't and you walk away owing nothing.
Then we build
We build the rest by hand to the standard on our 'how we build' page, keeping you in the loop. The price is agreed up front (one monthly figure for websites, a clear fixed quote for bespoke software), so there are no surprise invoices.
Then we run it
After launch your site is hosted, patched, monitored and updated as part of the monthly plan, because we run our own software, and we know most of the work happens after launch.
One price, and your site is yours to move
The parts that usually stay vague until it is too late, said plainly up front.
-
A price agreed before we start
One monthly figure for websites, a fixed quote for bespoke software: never an hourly meter. If the work grows, we agree it with you first.
-
The first homepage is free
We build it live before you pay, so you see the work before you commit to anything.
-
Your domain, your name, always
Your domain is registered in your name from day one and stays yours. You can buy the site outright at any time, at a price agreed before the project starts. No hostage hosting.
-
Support is included in the plan
Hosting, email, updates and the client portal are all inside the monthly payment: there is no separate maintenance bill. Twelve months minimum, then rolling. If you leave, the domain goes with you.
The things people ask first
How does Whealbit's free homepage draft work?
Whealbit designs and builds your homepage live, on a private link, before you pay anything. You open it, click through it and show your team; if you love it you carry on, and if you don't you walk away owing nothing.
Do I own my website and its domain?
With Whealbit, your domain is registered in your name from day one and always belongs to you. The site itself is included in the monthly plan, and you can buy it outright at any time at a price agreed before the project starts: no hostage hosting, and your data exports in a portable format.
What does it cost to keep a site running with Whealbit?
Hosting, updates, security patches and monitoring are all part of the website's monthly payment, which starts from £60 a month. There is nothing extra to pay to keep a Whealbit site running.
How is Whealbit different from a normal web agency?
Whealbit builds software and then runs it: it operates its own SaaS platforms in production. So it builds your site or software knowing it will support it long after launch, rather than shipping it and moving on.
