1 Week Sites builds bespoke Next.js websites for Liverpool founders, studios, and SMEs — one site per week, £1,000 flat, paid upfront, with a full refund within 48 hours if the site is not live by day seven. I am not a Liverpool agency with a Baltic Triangle office; I am a UK-based solo studio that works with Liverpool clients remotely, with a video-call brief on Monday and a live site by Sunday. Over five years the total typically lands around £1,300 — the £1,000 build plus roughly £60 a year for domain and email on providers you control. That sits below £5,000–£15,000 plus retainer for a Liverpool agency, and alongside £1,500–£4,000 for most freelancers. You own the code, the GitHub repo, the Vercel hosting account, and the domain from day one. Seven days from brief to live.
Liverpool, specifically
Liverpool's creative scene has shifted from cultural-sector grants to self-funded indie studios — Baltic Triangle, the Fabric District, and the Ropewalks are full of one-to-three person businesses who do not want to pay London agency rates for a marketing site. Most of the work I see from Liverpool founders falls into three camps: trades and services building their first proper website to stop relying on Facebook; indie studios and coaches who outgrew Squarespace; and SaaS or service businesses that need a fast, hand-coded site because their product is already fast. All three want the same thing — a clean, honest site that loads quickly, ranks, and does not keep billing them. A £1,000 flat-fee bespoke build tends to suit Liverpool budgets in a way that a £10,000 agency quote simply does not.
How remote works for Liverpool
The seven-day week runs the same whether you are on Bold Street or Bold Street, London. Monday is a 60-minute video-call brief, Tuesday is design, Wednesday to Friday is build, Saturday is revisions, Sunday is launch. All work is on UK time — I answer messages during a normal working day and I will not be emailing you at 2am from another time zone. Liverpool Lime Street to London is around 2h15 on Avanti, so an in-person kickoff in London or a day on-site in Liverpool is realistic for larger briefs. For the standard seven-day sprint, remote is faster — no travel days, more build time, a better site.
What Liverpool websites typically cost
| Option | Typical cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Local Liverpool agency | £5,000–£15,000 | Usually plus £300–£1,000/mo retainer |
| Freelancer (Liverpool or remote) | £1,500–£4,000 | Timeline typically 4–12 weeks, variable quality |
| 1 Week Sites | £1,000 flat | Seven days, one revision round, full refund if missed |
The seven-day week
Same week, same shape, wherever you are in the UK. Brief Monday, design Tuesday, build Wednesday to Friday, revisions Saturday, launch Sunday. One site a week, one client at a time.
- Monday — sixty-minute video-call brief, scope and copy locked.
- Tuesday — design in Figma, one route shown to sign-off.
- Wednesday–Friday — build in Next.js, Tailwind, TypeScript.
- Saturday — one round of revisions, real copy and imagery.
- Sunday — launch to your Vercel, DNS on your registrar, full handover.
Liverpool-specific questions
Do you work on-site in Liverpool?
Not for the standard seven-day sprint — it runs faster remote. For larger briefs or a kickoff workshop I will happily come to Liverpool or meet in Manchester. The seven days, £1,000 price, and refund guarantee do not change. Travel is on me if it is a city I can day-trip to.
Can you invoice a Liverpool Ltd company or VAT-registered business?
Yes. I invoice as a UK sole trader — VAT not currently charged. The invoice is a standard B2B document that your bookkeeper can file the usual way. Payment is bank transfer on the day the brief is signed off.
Have you shipped sites for Liverpool businesses before?
Honestly — not yet. The first Liverpool client gets the same seven-day sprint, the same £1,000 flat fee, and the same full-refund guarantee if I miss day seven. The portfolio is visible on the homepage; nothing is fabricated and nothing is stock.
Common questions
Is £1,000 really all-in, or do I pay extra later?
£1,000 is all-in for a five-to-seven-page bespoke marketing site: brief, design, build, one revision round, launch. No monthly fee, no retainer, no kill fee. You pay for your own domain (≈£12/year) and email hosting (≈£4/month). Nothing goes through me.
What happens if you miss day seven?
Full refund within 48 hours, no arguments. I take the loss — that's what keeps the deadline real. It has not happened yet and the guarantee is what stops it happening.
Who owns the finished site?
You do, fully. The code lives in a GitHub repo transferred to your account. The Vercel hosting project is on your Vercel account. The domain is on your registrar. You can hire any Next.js developer to take it forward — nothing is locked to me.
