Hello!

Every business deserves a great website.

Whether you're a one man - or woman - band, or a small to medium sized company, your website is where your future customers come to get a feel for who you are.

And this is where so many companies blow it.

Bad websites are everywhere, and if you've got one, the only people celebrating are your competitors.

Calaweb is here to make your competitors sweat.

Whatever your budget, we'll build you a website designed to win you business and make your competitors weep. From just £500, put us to work and we'll give your business the website it deserves.

04 — About

Why work with us?

We've been where you are - trying to figure out who we should select to get a great website built on time and on budget. Someone who we can talk to, who will understand that we don't know what we don't know, and still manage to build exactly what we need.

We think about your website the way your customers will. What do they need to find? What will make them trust you? What will make them leave? Most designers look at the screen. We try to think like the person on the other side of it.

We ask for 50% up front on commission, and 50% on delivery. Our web hosting is paid for month-to-month, and you're free to take your website elsewhere at any time.

Your customer's perspective
What do your clients need from your website? We come from their perspective, building the website that answers their questions and makes them buy.
Plain English spoken here
We don't speak in code. We'll speak to you in plain English, explain our ideas and you'll never feel lost.
Easy contracts
We ask for 50% up front on commission, and 50% on delivery. Our web hosting is paid for month-to-month, and you're free to take your website elsewhere at any time.

We can meet on Zoom, or, if you're in the Cotswolds, face-to-face, just like they did in the old days.
05 — Services

Web Design Services.

Web Design

We build on React or WordPress, depending on what you need. All our sites are mobile-first, fast, SEO optimised, secure and easy to maintain, and start from just £495.

Web Applications

Directories, calculators, booking systems, membership sites, custom ecommerce. More complex requirements are scoped and quoted per project. If you've got a great idea for a web or mobile app, we can build it.

Monthly Care Plans

Take the strain out of keeping your site up-to-date. With one of our monthly hosting plans, we take care of all the security updates, backups, speed optimisations - and can even schedule in content updates for you too.

07 — Contact

Let's talk about your project.

Let us know about your project and we'll be in touch to discuss the options. No obligation, and no pressure to buy anything, just a very easy first step.

We'll respond within a few hours.


Common questions.

Websites typically take two to six weeks from brief to launch, depending on how quickly content comes together. Web applications take longer - we'll give you a realistic timeline in the proposal.

Once we've agreed the scope of the project and you want to go ahead, you pay 50% to engage us, and then 50% when the project completed. At that point, the website goes live.

Yes. All the code, content and domain name belong to you as soon as the site goes live.

No. Monthly hosting packages operate month to month - you can cancel at any time. Web design projects have a simple contract that says once engaged, we deliver the project and you agree to pay for it. We don't do anything in complicated or onerous ways.

Usually, yes. Send us the link using the Get in Touch button above and tell us what you need. We'll give you an honest view of whether it's something we can work with or better rebuilt from scratch.
