How it works

A guided journey instead of a website shop

The sign-up process is designed to make the first decision simple. You choose the core plan first, then Black Pastel collects the information needed to customise the website properly.

1

Choose your route

Start with either a Service Business website or an Independent Maker website, depending on how your business works.

2

Choose your plan

Select the level of website support that fits your business, such as Essential or Premium.

3

Choose how you pay

Pick monthly or yearly payment. Yearly payment includes one month free compared with paying monthly.

4

Go live first

Your website is prepared and made live within 7 days where content is supplied promptly. Payment is only taken once your website is live.

Choose your plan

Start with the right level of support

Each route can be paired with the plan that suits where your business is now. The sign-up page lets you choose monthly or yearly payment before reviewing your choices.

Simple first, tailored next

The first step is about choosing the core website route, plan and payment option. That keeps the sign-up journey clear and avoids asking too much too early.

After that, Black Pastel can collect the style direction, colour preferences, business details, images and route-specific content needed to shape the finished website properly.

This means the buying decision stays simple, while the final website still feels considered, polished and relevant to your business.
