General

What does NovaWeb Studios do?
We design and build professional websites for businesses of all sizes. We specialise in WordPress, Shopify, and custom CMS solutions. From simple brochure sites to full e-commerce stores, we create fast, secure and beautifully designed websites that help your business grow.
What areas do you cover?
We work with businesses across the UK. While we are based in the UK, our remote-first approach means we can work with clients anywhere. We have experience delivering projects for local businesses, national brands and international clients.
Do you work with small businesses?
Absolutely. We work with businesses of all sizes, from sole traders and start-ups to established enterprises. Our Web Essential package is specifically designed for small businesses looking to establish a professional online presence at an affordable price.
How long does a typical project take?
It depends on the scope and complexity. A simple brochure website typically takes 2-4 weeks, while a larger e-commerce site or custom CMS project may take 6-10 weeks. We will provide a clear timeline during your initial consultation.

Design & Development

Which platform is right for my website?
It depends on your needs. WordPress is ideal for content-heavy sites and blogs with flexible customisation. Shopify is perfect for online stores with built-in payment and inventory management. A custom CMS is best for unique requirements that off-the-shelf platforms cannot handle. We will recommend the best option during our discovery process.
Will my website work on mobile devices?
Yes. Every website we build is fully responsive, meaning it looks and works perfectly on desktops, tablets and smartphones. Mobile-friendly design is a core part of our process, not an afterthought.
Can I update the website myself?
Yes. We build websites on user-friendly platforms that make it easy for you to update content, add images and manage pages. For WordPress and Shopify sites, we also provide a training session so you feel confident managing your site going forward.
Do you redesign existing websites?
Yes. If your current website looks outdated, loads slowly or does not reflect your brand, we can redesign it while preserving your existing content and SEO value. We will identify what is working and improve everything else.
Will my website be SEO-friendly?
Every website we build includes basic on-page SEO as standard, including optimised page titles, meta descriptions, clean URLs, fast load times and proper heading structure. Our Web Pro and Web Premium packages include enhanced SEO setup and Google Search Console integration.

Care Plans & Support

What are care plans?
Care plans are monthly maintenance packages that keep your website secure, up-to-date and performing at its best. They include software updates, security monitoring, bug fixes and ongoing support. Think of it as insurance for your website.
Do I need a care plan?
We strongly recommend one. Without regular updates and monitoring, websites become vulnerable to security threats, performance issues and broken functionality. A care plan ensures your website stays safe and running smoothly while you focus on your business.
What is the difference between the care plans?
Nova Care covers essential maintenance and monitoring. Nova Business adds content updates and priority support. Nova Growth includes SEO checks and performance optimisation. Nova Complete is our all-in-one solution that includes managed hosting, backups and everything else. See our Services page for full details.
Can I change my care plan later?
Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade your care plan at any time. We will review your needs during our monthly check-ins to make sure you are on the right plan for your business.

Pricing & Payments

How much does a website cost?
Our one-time design packages start from £795 for a Web Essential site and go up to £2,495 for Web Premium. E-commerce websites start from £2,000. We also offer monthly care plans from £25/month. We regularly run limited-time launch offers on new website builds — ask us for the current promo code when you request a quote. Every project is quoted individually based on your specific requirements.
Are there any hidden costs?
No. We believe in transparent pricing. The price we quote is the price you pay. The only additional costs would be domain registration and hosting fees (unless you are on our Nova Complete care plan which includes hosting), and any optional features you choose to add later.
How do payments work?
For one-time projects, we typically split payments into two instalments: 50% upfront to begin work and 50% on completion before launch. Care plans are billed monthly via direct debit or card payment.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. For larger projects, we can discuss a payment plan that spreads the cost over multiple instalments. Get in touch to discuss what works for your budget.
