FAQs

Monthly websites start from £35 per month for selected website routes. The exact plan depends on the type of website, the level of support and the features your business needs.

A monthly website usually includes a professional hosted website, ongoing support and maintenance, a client area login and selected editable sections depending on your route.

The editable areas are planned by Black Pastel as part of your website route, so the site remains structured and easy to manage.

The monthly website route uses curated style directions and planned website routes to make the process clearer and more affordable, but the finished website is still customised around your business information, imagery and content.

Yes. Monthly websites are designed to give businesses a strong starting point, with room to grow into booking systems, ecommerce, back office tools or additional pages where needed.

No. For monthly website plans, your payment details are saved securely through Stripe, but the subscription is not started until your website is live.

This helps keep the setup process smooth and confirms the chosen plan before the build begins. Your details are stored securely through Stripe so the subscription can start once the website is approved and live.

Yes. Monthly website plans can be paid monthly or yearly. Yearly payment options are designed to offer a saving compared with paying month by month.

Monthly websites can usually be live within 7 days when the required content is supplied promptly and the project is straightforward.

The most useful things are your business details, services, prices, contact information, images, logo, colour preferences and any wording you already have.

If you do not have everything ready, we can still help you work through what is needed.

Yes. Website refreshes are available for businesses that already have a site but need it to look clearer, feel more polished and better reflect the business now.

Yes. Black Pastel can build accommodation booking systems, appointment booking systems and bespoke booking systems for businesses that need more control than a simple form.

Appointment booking is usually for services, time slots, consultations, salons, studios, clinics and similar businesses. Accommodation booking is for stays, dates, nights, availability, deposits and guest details.

A bespoke booking system is built around a more custom workflow. It may include manual approvals, staged payments, unusual rules, group sessions, member-only bookings, complex pricing or custom back office controls.

Yes. Support and maintenance are an important part of the Black Pastel approach, especially for monthly website plans. This helps keep your website accurate, secure and working properly.

Selected editable sections can be included depending on your website route. For example, a service business might have editable services or gallery areas, while an independent maker may have gallery and event/location updates.

If your project does not fit neatly into one of the main routes, you can ask about a bespoke website, bespoke booking system or custom back office tool.
