Liverpool's Independent Web Studio

Stop building
your business on
someone else's platform.

Facebook bans accounts. Instagram kills reach overnight. Your website is the one platform nobody can take away — and we build it in 14 days.

Liverpool‑based
Live in 14 days
You own the code
No monthly fees

Three platforms.
Two you rent. One you own.

Most Liverpool businesses are building on borrowed ground. Here's the difference.

Social Media

You don't own a single follower

  • Accounts banned with no appeal
  • Organic reach under 5% without paid ads
  • Algorithm changes overnight, without warning
  • You pay to reach people who already follow you
This is yours

A Website You Own

Nobody can switch it off

  • Customers contact you directly
  • Google indexes it — no platform tax
  • Works 24/7, even when you're asleep
  • One fee. Every file yours. Forever.

Rented Agency Sites

You pay monthly for something you'll never own

  • £200–800/month retainer, ongoing
  • Leave the agency, lose the website
  • Juniors work your account, seniors pitched it
  • 3-month build times and weekly meetings
Build something you own →

One-off fee. No lock-in. You own every file.

Simple. Fast. Yours.

The Audit

We look at your current website, Google ranking, and search visibility. We tell you exactly what's holding you back — slow load time, missing SEO, wrong structure. No sales pitch. No obligation. Just an honest report.

Step 02 · 14 days average

The Build

Custom code. No WordPress, no page builders, no 40-plugin bloat. We build for phones first — fast, responsive pages and clean structure so Google and your customers love it. You see it before it goes live.

Step 03 · Forever

You Own It

We hand you the keys. Every file, every asset, every line of code is yours. No monthly fee. No lock-in. Take it to any host, any developer, anytime. It's not ours to rent back to you.

The L1WebTips team at work in Liverpool

You're not talking to an account manager in Manchester.

We build websites for Liverpool businesses because we're Liverpool people. When you contact us, you speak to the person who will build your site. No support queues. No account handoffs.

  • Liverpool City Centre, Wirral, Knowsley, Southport — we know the area.
  • Affordable. Fast. No agency markup or hidden retainers.
  • You speak to the person writing your code. Not a ticket queue.

Common questions.

How much does it cost?
From £695 as a one-off build fee. No monthly charges unless you choose to add SEO or maintenance. We're upfront about pricing — no hidden costs, no surprises at invoice time.
How long does it take?
14 days is our average from brief to live site. Larger builds or complex requirements take longer, but we'll always give you a realistic timeline before we start — and stick to it.
I have a Facebook page — do I really need a website?
Yes. Facebook can suspend your account overnight with no appeal. Your organic reach already drops every year as the algorithm changes. A website is the only platform that's entirely yours — Google indexes it, customers find it, and no platform can switch it off. Your Facebook page is borrowed ground. Your website is not.
Can I update it myself after you hand it over?
Yes. We walk you through the basics at handover and we're available if you need a hand. You're never locked out of your own site — no proprietary CMS, no passwords we hold back. Everything is yours from day one.
I'm already with an agency. Can you take it over?
We've done this many times. If you're paying a monthly retainer and want to own your site instead, get in touch. We'll assess what you have and tell you honestly whether switching makes sense — and what it would involve.
