Question 1

What happens if you miss day 7?

Accepted Answer

Full refund within 48 hours. The deadline is the product. If I miss it, you do not owe anything. No kill fee, no partial, no debate.

Question 2

What is included in the £1,000?

Accepted Answer

Brief, bespoke design, Next.js build, QA, and launch on your domain. Domain and hosting costs are paid directly to the providers. No retainers, no upsells.

Question 3

How many revisions do I get?

Accepted Answer

One round, same week. Built into the schedule. Scope changes that break the seven-day window roll into a second sprint at a fresh quote.

Question 4

Who owns the code when it is done?

Accepted Answer

You do. Fully. The repository transfers to your GitHub, the Vercel project to your account, and the domain stays on your registrar. No lock-in.

Question 5

What kind of sites is this not right for?

Accepted Answer

Multi-thousand-page catalogues, heavy e-commerce with bespoke checkout, or anything blocked by someone else's integration roadmap. Flagged on the discovery call — no obligation if it's not a fit.

Question 6

How much does a website cost in the UK in 2026?

Accepted Answer

A UK small-business website costs £0 for DIY Squarespace or Wix, £1,000 to £3,000 for a bespoke flat-fee build from a solo studio or freelancer, £3,000 to £8,000 at a small design studio, and £8,000 to £25,000 at a mid-sized agency. 1 Week Sites charges £1,000 flat for a bespoke Next.js site delivered in seven days.

Question 7

What is a bespoke website?

Accepted Answer

A bespoke website is designed from scratch for one business, hand-coded in a real framework rather than assembled from a template or drag-and-drop builder, and owned outright by the buyer. The design is original, the code is standard and portable, and there is no platform lock-in.

Question 8

Should I choose Squarespace, Wix, or a bespoke website?

Accepted Answer

Choose Squarespace for design-led small businesses that want a polished site without a developer. Choose Wix for flexibility and extension-heavy sites on a budget. Choose a bespoke site when speed, distinctiveness, or code ownership matter commercially — the five-year total cost flips in favour of bespoke at around 40 months against a £25-per-month plan.

Question 9

Where are you based and do you work remotely?

Accepted Answer

1 Week Sites is UK-based and remote-first. Clients across Great Britain work with me over email, a shared brief document, and one short call on Monday. No mandatory in-person meetings or workshop days.

Question 10

How do I pay and is it safe to pay upfront?

Accepted Answer

Payment is by bank transfer or Stripe invoice, in full, before work starts. The refund guarantee is the safety mechanism — if the site is not live on day seven, 100% is refunded within 48 hours. No deposits, no milestone gating.

Question 11

Do you offer ongoing support or retainers after launch?

Accepted Answer

No. No retainers, no monthly fees. The site is transferred to the client in full. Later changes can be booked as a second sprint at a fresh quote, or handed to any developer — the code is standard Next.js and React, documented for handover.

Question 12

Do you provide copywriting and photography?

Accepted Answer

Copy polishing is included — clients provide the substance and I tighten the wording. Photography is not included. Clients bring real photos or commission them separately. Stock imagery is never used on a bespoke 1 Week Sites build.

Question 13

Will my site pass Core Web Vitals and WCAG accessibility?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every site ships with a Lighthouse score of 95 or higher across all four categories on mobile, LCP under 2.5 seconds, INP under 200 milliseconds, CLS under 0.1, and WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility. These are non-negotiable, part of the pre-launch checklist.

Question 14

Can I edit the site myself after it launches?

Accepted Answer

Yes for copy — a simple config file or Markdown is set up so wording can be changed without touching code. No for structural changes like new pages or layout rethinks — those need a developer, which can be me or anyone else.
