Questions, answered.

What does Doorstep do?

Doorstep builds high-end websites for trades and local businesses across the UK, from a base in the North West. We build your website first, free, so you can see exactly where your customers will land before you pay anything.

How much does a Doorstep website cost?

Your price comes with your free concept, so you know exactly what you're getting before you decide. Every package includes hosting, security, uptime checks and unlimited edits.

How long does a website take?

Your concept usually arrives at a private link within three working days, and most sites go live in about two weeks.

Do I own my website and domain?

Yes. Your domain is always registered in your name, and you can have your website's code whenever you ask for it.

Will my business show up on Google and ChatGPT?

Every Doorstep site is built so Google and AI assistants like ChatGPT can read it properly. Our Found on Google and ChatGPT setup goes further: we research what your customers search, tune up your Google Business Profile and match your listings. Nobody can promise rankings, so we show you the numbers instead.

Do you only work in the North West?

No. We're based in the North West and work with businesses across the UK. Local clients can meet in person; everyone else meets us on a video call.

What if I don't like my concept?

Then you walk away. The concept is free and yours to look at, no strings attached.

Knock, knock.

Four quick questions. We'll build a concept and send you a private link, usually within three working days.
