Web design
Small business web design that pays for itself
Custom websites for small businesses, founders and startups across the EU, UK and US. You see a free, working draft within 6 to 12 hours, and you only pay if you want to keep it.
What small business web design means here
Most small business websites are one of two things: a template everyone else also bought, or an expensive agency project that took two months and still reads like a brochure. Neither wins you customers. A small business website has one job, to turn a stranger who found you into someone who contacts you, and it can only do that if it was built around your actual business rather than a generic layout.
That is what we do. Every site is designed from your subject, your customers and the one action you need a visitor to take. A restaurant site reads like a kitchen, a property developer's site leads with proof, a perfumer's reads like correspondence. The structure comes from the business, so the site actually fits it.
And you never buy on faith. Within 6 to 12 hours of agreeing the brief, you get a free, deployed draft of your homepage, a real link, on your real phone. If it's right, we build the rest. If it isn't, you walk away and keep the draft. No contract, no invoice, no risk.
What's included in every build
- A custom design built from your business, never a bought template
- Copywriting guidance so the words sell, not just the layout
- Mobile-first, accessible, and fast: green Core Web Vitals as standard
- Deployed to a real, working link you can share the same day
- Contact forms, booking, or checkout wired up and tested
- Search-ready from day one: titles, meta, schema, sitemap
Honest pricing, and the draft is free
Most studios hide the number until you're on a call. We won't. A one-page landing site starts at $200. A full small business website starts from $600, depending on pages and features. Ongoing care is $90 a month if you want it. And the first working draft costs nothing, so you decide with a real site in front of you, not a quote.

Who it's for
Founders who need a real site before a launch or a funding round. Local businesses whose current site is costing them customers. Agencies who need a senior pair of hands for overflow build work. Anyone who has been quoted six weeks and five figures for something that should take days.
We work with clients across the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and the Middle East, from a studio in Dhaka. That is how the work stays at a global standard while the price stays reachable for a small business.
Small business sites we've built
Small business web design, answered
How much does a small business website cost?
A full small business site with Northcave starts from $600, and a one-page landing site from $200. The exact number depends on how many pages you need and what has to be wired up (booking, payments, a blog). You see a working draft for free first, so you know exactly what you're paying for before any money changes hands.
How long does it take to build a small business website?
You get a free working draft of your homepage within 6 to 12 hours of agreeing the brief. A complete small business site is usually live within one to two weeks, not the six to eight weeks an agency quotes, because there is no account layer or internal review round slowing it down.
Do I really get a free draft?
Yes, a real one. Not a mockup or a slide, but a deployed link you can open on your phone. If you like it, we build the rest. If you don't, you keep the draft and we part as friends. There is no contract to see it.
Do you work with US and UK clients from Bangladesh?
Most of our clients are in the EU, UK, US and the Middle East. The studio runs from Dhaka, which means global-standard work at rates a small business can actually afford, and a timezone that turns your evening into our working day, so drafts often land overnight.
Is it a custom design or a template?
Custom, every time. A template starts with generic sections and pours your content in. We start with what your business actually does and build the structure out of that. If a template genuinely fits your budget better, we'll tell you honestly and adapt one of ours instead.
What if I already have a website that needs improving?
We redesign as often as we build from scratch. Send us the current site; the free draft shows you what a rebuilt version looks like before you commit to replacing it.
