Starter Website Packages

Designed for early-stage businesses. Built on WordPress. Ready to grow with you.

Whether you’re launching your first business or dipping your toe into having an online presence, our Starter Website Packages give you a beautiful, professional website without the investment of a full bespoke build.

These aren’t DIY, drag-and-drop templates — they’re pre-designed, pre-built WordPress websites, created by an award-winning studio and tailored to your brand.

They’re quick, affordable, and built with the future in mind.

Who These Packages Are For

Our Starter Websites are perfect for you if:

  • You’re starting out and aren’t ready for a fully bespoke website just yet
  • You want something professional and credible, built properly from day one
  • You don’t want to go down the Wix/Squarespace route only to rebuild everything later
  • You want a WordPress site that can grow into a bespoke build when your business is ready
  • You need a fast turnaround, done-for-you setup, and a simple way to get online

If you want something unique, fully custom, or deeply crafted around your brand — our bespoke website service will be a better fit.

But if you’re in the early stages and want a solid, scalable foundation… you’re in the right place.

How It Works

A simple, empowering three-step process:

Step 1: Choose Your Template

Pick from our curated range of pre-designed website demos. Each template has its own design style, features, layout, and price point.

Step 2: We Tailor It to You

You provide your logo, brand colours, fonts, images and text content. We’ll update the site so it perfectly reflects your brand — while keeping the core design structure intact. Includes up to 3 rounds of amends.

Step 3: We Launch It for You

We set up hosting, connect your domain, and publish the site.

Your website will be live, secure, mobile-friendly, and ready to grow.

Bespoke Upgrade Credit

To honour your investment and support your growth, you’ll receive a credit toward your future bespoke website.

Whatever you paid for your Starter Website (e.g. £150–£450) will be deducted from your bespoke website cost when you’re ready to upgrade.

Because your site is already in WordPress, we can carry across:

  • Your existing content
  • Blogs
  • Products
  • SEO work
  • Imagery
  • Structure and settings

You’re not starting again — you’re levelling up.

Why Choose a Starter Site with Chell?

  • You get a professional website fast
  • It’s built by an award-winning studio
  • It scales easily into a custom website later
  • Your investment is honoured, not wasted
  • You avoid the Wix/Squarespace trap
  • You get real support, not DIY frustration
  • You stay fully in WordPress from the beginning

This is the softer, more empowering way to start — and grow.

Your Growth Pathway

Every business grows differently, and your website should be able to grow alongside you. This timeline is simply an example of how your Starter Site could naturally evolve over the next 12 months — from launch, to adding new features, to refining your online presence, and eventually developing into a fully bespoke website when the time is right.

Think of it as a guide to what’s possible. You don’t have to follow this exact journey, but it shows how flexible your Starter Site is, how easily you can build on the foundations we create, and how your investment today sets you up for long-term growth.

Here’s what your next year could look like…

Month 0–1: Launch

Your starter site goes live — professional, clean, and ready to use.

Month 2: First Check-In Call

We review:

  • Traffic so far
  • User behaviour
  • Opportunities to improve or expand

Month 3–6: Light Growth

You might choose to add:

  • A blog
  • A services page
  • An SEO package
  • Product pages
  • A newsletter sign-up

This is where your site starts to feel more “yours.”

Month 6–12: Evolution

If your business is gaining traction, this is the perfect time to explore:

  • A partial redesign
  • A new page style
  • A more advanced layout
  • Additional functionality
  • SEO retainer support

Month 12+: Bespoke Upgrade

When you’re ready for a fully custom, handcrafted website, we upgrade you seamlessly. Including your upgrade credit, from your starter site.
