Running a small business is no easy task, especially when it comes to creating an online presence. We get it—balancing cost, quality, and time can be a real juggling act.
Traditional web design can burn a hole in your pocket, while DIY website builders often require more effort than they promise. But fear not, because our subscription website service, Uplift Advantage, is here to save the day with a beautifully crafted, fully managed website for just $299 a month.
Navigating Your Website Design Options
1. Traditional Web Design: High Costs, Endless Bills
Hiring a designer or agency might set you back $5,000 to $10,000 upfront—ouch! Plus, don’t forget about the ongoing costs for regular maintenance, monthly hosting, domain name registration, and the unpredictable hourly cost of having someone update your website as your business grows.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been offering this very service for over 10 years, and it’s a great option if you’re a big business with deep pockets. But for most small businesses, it’s just not a viable option… and that is why Uplift Advantage was born.
2. DIY Website Builders: A Time-Consuming Puzzle
Sure, platforms like Wix, WordPress, Squarespace, and Shopify look tempting with their affordable monthly pricing and user-friendly design tools, but here’s the catch:
- Takes Up Your Valuable Time – Learning how to navigate these platforms, customising templates, and troubleshooting issues can quickly become a full-time job. Many business owners find that by the time they’ve figured it all out, they could have saved money and frustration by hiring a professional from the start.
- Hidden Costs Add Up Fast – While these platforms advertise low starting prices, many essential features require costly add-ons, premium templates, or higher-tier plans. What seemed like an affordable option at first can quickly become expensive once you need the tools to make your site truly functional.
- Cookie-Cutter Designs – Templates are great for a starting point, but your site might end up looking like everyone else’s—hardly the unique touch your business deserves.
3. Subscription Based Websites: The Smart, Simple Choice
With Uplift Advantage, you get a professional, hassle-free website—without the big upfront cost. For just $299/month, you get:
✔ Professional Design and Setup – A sleek, personalised 4 page website that truly reflects your brand. Includes Home, About, Services & Contact pages (with some wiggle room, depending on your industry. The services page can be very adaptable!)
✔ Hosting and Domain Registration – No more separate fees for hosting or domains.
✔ Ongoing Maintenance and Updates – We’ll keep your site secure and up to date.
✔ Dedicated Support – We’re here to help, unlike DIY platforms where you’re left to your own devices.
✔ Built for Growth – Plug in extra features and functionality as your business grows, no need for a complete overhaul. Add new pages, custom forms, or simple e-commerce features.

Why a Subscription Model is Your Best Bet
1. No Big Upfront Cost
Forget about shelling out a small fortune to get started. With Uplift Advantage, you pay as you grow.
2. Save Time and Energy
Leave the website building to us, so you can focus on what you do best—running your business. We don’t even ask that you log into the back end of your website, because there is no need. Just log a ticket with any requests, and our team get it done for you promptly.
3. No Hidden Fees
Unlike some of the other options we’ve discussed, we’ve built Uplift Advantage with transparency in mind. Our service costs just $299 per month. Yes, we have optional add-ons that do come at an additional cost, but they are in no way necessary—and we lay out the costs upfront, so you are always in control.
4. Keep Your Website Future-Proof
Websites are not a set-and-forget tool. They need regular maintenance and updates to keep them safe, secure and performing well. Plus, as your business grows and changes, your website should too. With Uplift Advantage, we handle all of these tasks and updates as part of your subscription, so you don’t have to worry about it.
