Why a Pay Monthly Website Is Ideal for Your Small Business

Why a Pay Monthly Website Is Ideal for Your Small Business

September 02, 20253 min read

Let’s be honest. A lot of small business owners still don’t have a website.
Some say they’re too busy. Some think they don’t need one.
Others assume it’s going to cost a fortune or be a nightmare to manage.

That’s not true anymore.

If you’re running a small business, a pay monthly website isn’t just helpful — it’s probably the smartest move you can make right now.

Why is having a website important for a small business?

Because people check online before they do anything.

Looking for a plumber? They’ll Google you.
Thinking about hiring a dog walker? They want to see a website.
Want to book a local yoga class? They expect clear info online.

No website? You’re not even in the running.

And it’s not just about being found. A proper website:

  • Builds trust (you look more professional)

  • Shows what you offer

  • Gives people a way to contact you

  • Saves time answering the same questions over and over

You don’t need anything fancy. Just a clear homepage, a bit about what you do, a services section, and a way to get in touch.

That’s exactly what we set up for you — with no upfront build fees.

Do I really need a website for my small business?

You might think you can get away with just a Facebook page.

But here’s the problem:

  • Not everyone uses social media

  • You don’t control what Facebook shows (or hides)

  • It’s hard to look professional on someone else’s platform

A proper website is yours. You’re not renting space.
And when someone Googles you, it’s what they expect to see.

Even if most of your work comes from word of mouth, a website backs up your reputation. People want to check you out. They want to feel confident before they call.

And let’s face it — a Facebook page with no recent updates and one blurry photo isn’t helping.

Is it a good idea to get a website on a pay monthly plan?

Yes — if it’s done properly.

That’s why we created Forte Web Solutions.

Here’s what you get with our pay monthly website package:

  • A professional 4-page website (Home, About, Services, Contact)

  • Mobile-friendly design

  • Built to be found on search engines

  • Fully managed for you — no tech headaches

  • Just £49.95/month, with no upfront build fee

It’s simple, affordable, and it works.

What is the biggest benefit of a pay monthly website?

It levels the playing field.

Most people assume only the “big guys” can afford decent websites.
But when you show up online looking clear, confident, and contactable, you stand out.

And here’s something else:

People don’t always choose the cheapest option. They choose the business that looks like they’ve got it together.

A clean, honest website makes that difference.

Let’s say you’re a local cleaner. You’ve got 20 happy clients, but no site.
Someone new moves into the area. They search “cleaner near me.”

You don’t come up.

They see another local business — with a simple website showing photos, a short bio, and a contact form.

Guess who gets the call?

And honestly, it’s not about out-teching the competition.
It’s just about showing up in the first place.

Ready to get online?

If you’re still weighing it up, that’s okay.
But if you just want to get started without faff?

This is it.

No jargon. No setup fees. Just a pay monthly website that makes you look good and gets you seen.
