What we do
Two levers, one partner
We handle the website that markets you and the software that runs you.
Websites for life
Professional, custom-designed sites with a built-in editor so you can update text and images yourself — no developer, no monthly fee.
Booking systems
Take reservations and appointments directly on your own site. Stop renting a third party's platform and paying per booking.
Automations
Automated mailers, follow-ups, order and inventory tracking — the quiet software that saves hours every week.
Fine dining
Design that makes a table feel worth booking
From luxury tasting menus to the neighbourhood trattoria — sites that set the tone before a guest walks in.
Selected work
Landing pages we've built
Live client work, plus concept designs across the sectors we build for. Anything marked Live site is a real site you can click through to; the rest are our own designs, shown with illustrative names.
Beauty & wellness
Booked out, effortlessly
Salons, spas and barbers with booking built into a site that looks as good as the work you do.
The quiet engine
Software & automations
Tools that do real operational work. Each one either brings money in or takes cost and admin out — often both.
Every kind of business
From the corner café to the corner office
Cafés, clinics, salons, trades, agencies and teams — if it's a small business, we can build its edge.
How it works
Four steps, no jargon
You'll know exactly what's happening at every stage — and exactly what it costs before we start.
Conversation
A free, no-pressure chat about your business. We find where revenue is leaking and where cost is hiding.
Fixed quote
You get a written price and a clear scope. No hourly surprises, no scope creep, no retainer.
We build
Design, build and test — with you reviewing along the way. Typically two to four weeks.
You own it
We hand over the keys, show you the editor, and stay on warranty. It's yours for good.
Security & standards
Built to code
You wouldn't buy a freehold without checking the structure. Owning your website only means something if what you own is built properly — so every site we hand over is built to a written security standard, and you can verify it yourself.
$ curl -I https://freeholdwebsolutions.com Content-Security-Policy: script-src 'self'; style-src 'self'; object-src 'none' Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=63072000; includeSubDomains; preload X-Frame-Options: DENY X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin Permissions-Policy: camera=(), microphone=(), geolocation=()
The complete checklist every build is measured against — including what we deliberately don't claim.
Built once, owned for life
Pricing
No subscriptions, no lock-in. A warranty period on every build, then low-cost pay-as-you-go maintenance only when you need it.
All prices exclude VAT if applicable. Domain and hosting are billed directly by third-party providers and are not part of our fees.
Maintenance, after your warranty
No recurring fees, ever. You only pay for work you actually need, when you need it.
| Tier | Examples | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Micro-fix | Text edit, image swap, fix a broken link | £20 flat |
| Small task | New page, form change, add a section | £55 flat |
| Larger job | New feature, section redesign, integration | £45/hr |
| Priority pack | 5 micro-fixes bundled (15% saving) | £85 |
Add-ons: automation packs (booking, CRM sync, email/SMS flows) £150–£400 depending on complexity. Optional SEO refresh priced at time of request, recommended every 6–12 months.
Questions
The things people actually ask
Do I really pay nothing monthly?
Can I update the website myself?
How long does a build take?
What happens if something breaks?
Will my site show up on Google?
What if I already have a website?
Is my site actually secure, or is that just marketing?
The approach
We treat your business like a portfolio company
Where can we grow income, and where can we cut cost? Then we build the tools that do it.
About us
Why we're called Freehold
Because there are only two ways to hold property — and only one of them is yours.
Most agencies sell you a leasehold. You pay every month, you never own the thing, and the day you stop paying it disappears. We sell you the freehold: built once, handed over, yours outright.
Beyond that, we approach every client the way a private equity fund approaches a company — asking one simple question: where can we grow income, and where can we cut cost? Same discipline, but applied to build better small businesses rather than to serve shareholders.
We look at your business as a set of levers. Some lift revenue, some reduce expense. We build the website and software that pull them — then hand you the deeds, so the value stays with you.
On your income statement
- More bookings and enquiries lift the top line
- Removing monthly platform fees and cutting admin hours lowers your outgoings
- The gap between the two — your profit — widens
On your balance sheet
- You own the website outright — it's an asset, not a rented service
- No open-ended subscription sitting as a future liability
- A one-off cost that pays for itself, then keeps saving
