Someone to call
Direct contact with somebody who actually knows your website. Not a ticket queue, not an outsourced call centre. When something needs to change, you tell a person.
Your website, looked after.
We build your website, then keep it online, secure and up to date. One monthly fee from £75 and no up-front charges.
Get started- ✓No setup fee

Four steps. No jargon.
1
Tell us about your business
What you do, who it's for, and a few sites you like the look of.
2
We design and build it
You review a working version and we adjust until it's right.
3
It goes live
On your own domain, hosted and secured by us. Nothing to set up.
4
We look after it
Updates, backups, security and your changes, from then on.
Five things we take off your plate.
Keep it running
Hosting, monitoring and reliable backups, so the site stays online and nothing is ever one bad afternoon away from being lost.
Keep it safe
Security updates applied properly, not ignored out of fear they'll break something, because we're the ones who'd fix it if they did.
Keep it current
Content changes, new pages, and small business updates handled without it becoming a whole project every time.
Keep it performing
Regular technical housekeeping and improvements over time, instead of the site slowly degrading the way most websites do.
Sites we've built.
Both of these are Smart Head's own products, built and run by us rather than third-party client work, shown here for what they demonstrate.

Want to take the site fully in-house later? A one-off buyout is 10 times your monthly plan.
Need a shop, memberships or complex booking? That is a Custom project, so tell us what you need and we will quote it.
An independent consultant, not a call centre.
Smart Head Consulting is run on 20+ years of hands-on IT experience. Edinburgh-based, working directly with business owners across Scotland and the UK. No account managers, no outsourced support desk, no disappearing after launch. If your website needs something, you speak to the person who actually looks after it.
The things people ask before signing up.
- Who owns my domain and my website?
- While you are subscribed, we register and pay for your domain and we own the website build. Your content, images, brand and customer data are always yours. If you ever want the website fully in-house, a one-off buyout (10 times your monthly plan) transfers the domain and a copy of the site to you.
- What happens if I want to leave?
- It is rolling monthly with no minimum term, so you can cancel any time. Your paid period runs to its end, then the site goes offline. We keep your build for 60 days in case you change your mind or want to buy it out. Your own content and data are yours to take whenever you ask.
- How quickly do you respond?
- You email one person who knows your site. Small changes are usually done within a few working days, anything urgent sooner, and a site that is completely down is treated as an emergency on every plan.
- Do I need to sort out hosting?
- No. Hosting, backups and security are part of the plan, so there is nothing for you to arrange or pay for separately. If you already have a site somewhere, we will look at it and move it if that is the sensible thing to do.
- Do you build new sites, or only maintain existing ones?
- Both. Most of our work is building a new site and then looking after it, with no separate upfront fee. If you already have a site, we can take that on instead.
- What is not included?
- The plans cover building, hosting, security, backups, updates and your ongoing changes. They do not include online shops, customer logins, complex booking systems or bespoke tools, which are quoted separately. Copywriting, photography and logo design are not included either, though we can point you in the right direction.
We’ll take it from here.
Whatever it’s built on (Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, or something a previous developer put together), we’ll take an honest look and recommend the sensible route. Not every site needs the same answer.
If the site is fundamentally sound, there's often no need to start again. We bring it under a care plan, fix what's been neglected, and keep it properly maintained from here on.
Sometimes the platform itself is the problem: hard to maintain, expensive for what it does, or holding the site back. We move it somewhere more sensible without losing what already works.
Occasionally the honest answer is a rebuild, usually when a site has been patched together for years and is actively working against the business. We'll say so plainly if that's the case.
We won’t tell you every site can be simply migrated, because that isn’t true. We’ll look at what you actually have and tell you straight.
Tell us what you need.
A new site, or an existing one that needs looking after. Send a few details and we’ll come back with a sensible next step. No pressure, no hard sell.
