New to all this? You’re not alone. Here are straight answers to the questions UK business owners ask us most, with no jargon.
Do I need a website for my business?
Yes. Most customers look you up online before they buy or call, and if you rely on word of mouth or social media alone you’re invisible to everyone searching Google for what you offer. Even a simple one-page site with your services, area and contact details helps people find and trust you.
How much does a small business website cost in the UK?
Less than most people expect. With Clickbeat you can be online from £6.99/month with the website builder, plus a domain from £7.99/year. There are no big agency fees, because the drag-and-drop tools do the heavy lifting, and UK hosting is included.
I’m not technical, can I really do this myself?
Yes. The website builder is drag-and-drop, with ready-made templates designed for UK businesses, so there’s no coding and no design skills needed. And if you’d rather not do it alone, our UK team offers free help getting set up.
What’s the difference between a domain, hosting and a website?
Think of it like a shop. Your domain (for example yourbusiness.co.uk) is the address, hosting is the building it sits in, and the website is the shop itself. Clickbeat gives you all three in one place, so you’re not juggling separate providers.
Can I use my own .co.uk domain?
Absolutely. Register a new .co.uk, .uk or .com domain with us from £7.99/year, or connect a domain you already own, and we’ll guide you through it.
Will I get a professional email address?
Yes. Get business email on your own domain, like info@yourbusiness.co.uk, from £3.99/month, with Microsoft 365 apps included. It looks far more professional to customers than a free Gmail or Hotmail address.
How long until my business is online?
Most businesses can have a basic site live the same day. Pick a template, add your details, connect your domain and you’re live.
What if I get stuck?
You’re never on your own. Clickbeat is a UK company with a UK support team, and we offer free help getting set up, with no overseas call centres.
