I design your website from scratch, host it, look after it and add an AI chat assistant that answers your customers' questions, all for one monthly price. There's nothing to pay until your site is exactly how you want it and goes live.
These are demo sites I've designed to show different styles and features. They aren't client websites.
UptoData is for small businesses and individuals who want a website that looks properly designed, without paying thousands up front or learning a DIY website builder.
It suits you if you:
I work with clients wherever they are. You don't need to be near me, because everything happens online.
It isn't the right fit for large online shops or complex database systems. I don't build those, and I'd rather tell you now.
It doesn't matter whether you've got it all planned out or just a rough feeling for what you want.
The first design is usually quick, so you see a real design early on, not just a description.
Tell me what you'd like changed and I'll action it quickly. Design tweaks are free until launch, and we take as long as you need.
Your site goes live when it's 100% how you want it, and your monthly subscription begins that day. From then on you can make small text changes yourself in the edit portal, or just ask me.
There's no fixed deadline. Your site is ready when you're completely happy with it.
£14.99 a month. Billed monthly by card through Stripe. Your subscription starts on the day your site launches, and you can cancel anytime. I'm not VAT-registered, so there's no VAT to add: the price is simply £14.99 a month.

Tell me about your businessHi, I'm Lea Dean. UptoData is my business: I'm a solo web designer, and I work with clients wherever they're based.
I started UptoData because good design shouldn't only be for businesses with agency budgets. When you work with me, you deal with the person who actually designs and builds your site, from the first draft to the changes you ask for months later. I do use modern tools, including AI, to work efficiently, and I put that saving into the price rather than cutting corners on design.
“It has been a great and very fruitful cooperation so far, and I look forward to continuing with your uptodata.co.uk services for both of my websites. Thank you!”
£14.99 a month, which covers a custom design of up to 20 pages, hosting, SSL, up to 10 branded email addresses, the AI chat assistant, the edit portal and chat console, and ongoing small updates. I'm not VAT-registered, so there's no VAT to add. There's no upfront design fee. You only start paying when your site launches.
No. The drafts and design tweaks before launch are free. If you decide not to launch, you don't pay anything.
Your site is ready when it's 100% how you want it. The first design is usually quick, and any changes you ask for are actioned quickly. After that, it takes as long as you need to get it right. There's no rush and no fixed deadline.
Yes, anytime. Just let me know. Your site stays live until exactly one month after your last payment, then it's deactivated. If you'd like to keep your website, you can buy it outright (see below).
Yes. If you'd like to stop the hosting service, you can buy the finished website outright for a one-off £199. I'll transfer the files to you, you can host them wherever you like, and the monthly fee ends.
Yes. You buy your own domain (your .co.uk or .com address), and it's registered in your name, so it's always yours. I'll connect it to your website for you, and if you haven't bought one yet I'm happy to help you choose and buy it.
It answers visitors' common questions (opening hours, services, prices, how to book) using information you've approved. You can see the conversations and adjust what it knows in your chat console. It only works from the information you give it, so I'll set it up with you carefully. You're responsible for making sure that information is accurate.
Yes. After launch you get a text edit portal for updating your wording. Small and occasional changes, like photos or opening hours, are also included if you'd rather ask me. Bigger changes, such as a redesign or new sections, are charged for my time, and I'll give you the price first.
I build every site with the technical basics search engines look for: clear page titles and descriptions, fast pages, mobile-friendly design and structured data. Nobody can honestly guarantee a position on Google. What helps most over time is a Google Business Profile, genuine reviews and useful content about what you do, and I'm happy to point you in the right direction.
