Faster growth for businesses with a website.
We started LocalLaunch because we kept walking past brilliant local cafés, salons, pubs and shops that didn't show up online, loved by their regulars but invisible to anyone searching on a phone. Either no website at all, or one from 2014 that nobody had touched since.
If a customer can't find you in 30 seconds on their phone, you don't exist to them.
That's not fair on the businesses that make our towns worth living in. So we built a service that takes the whole problem off your plate, for less than the price of a dinner out. We're a small UK company, run by people who know what it's like to wear every hat at once.

No questionnaire, no homework, no sales calls. It usually starts with a postcard.
We discover local businesses that don't yet have a website, from Google, review sites, and delivery platforms. No questionnaire, no homework.
We generate a real website from your existing online presence, at yourbusiness.locallaunch.uk, and post you a card. Hosting, SSL and backups all handled.
Hosting, SSL, backups and security, all on us, every day. Fancy a new look down the line? A full redesign is £20, whenever you want.

No two LocalLaunch sites look alike. Each one is designed around your trade, your photos and your reviews, not squeezed into a template.

Six things you'll never have to think about again.
Squarespace, Wix, WordPress: they all assume you've got a free afternoon. With LocalLaunch there's nothing to log into and edit.
No domains to renew separately, no security patches, no "your certificate has expired" emails. It's all in the £29.99.
Sign into your dashboard and tweak any text on your site (welcome line, about, menu blurbs) at no extra cost. The layout and upkeep stay on us.
New logo, new menu, new vibe? £20 for a complete redesign, with no migration, no awkward developer call, no quote.
Email us with a question or a tweak request and a person reads it. Not a chatbot, not a ticket queue. We're a small UK team.
No 12-month lock-ins. If you change your mind, your subscription ends and the site comes down. No drama.
There are three ways to get your business online. Here's how they actually stack up.
| LocalLaunch | DIY builder (Wix, Squarespace…) |
Freelance designer | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | ✓£0, we build it before you pay a penny | £0, but the build is on you | £500–£2,000+ before launch |
| Your time | ✓Roughly none | Evenings & weekends of dragging boxes around | Briefs, calls, feedback rounds, chasing |
| Who keeps it running | ✓We do: hosting, SSL, backups, security | You: renewals, plugins, "site down" panics | Usually nobody, unless you pay a retainer |
| Changing the words | ✓Free, any time, from your dashboard | Free, if you remember how the editor works | Billed by the hour |
| A whole new look | ✓£20 flat, whenever you fancy | Start again from a new template | A new quote, a new project |
| Walking away | ✓Cancel any time, no lock-in | Annual plans, paid add-ons to export | You own it, and everything that breaks |
A bespoke freelance site can be brilliant, but it just isn't realistic on every high street, and someone still has to keep it updated. We solve a different problem.
A flat monthly subscription that covers everything: design, hosting, security, backups and support. No setup fee, no surprises.

Optional add-ons
Re-generate the whole site from scratch. Use it when you rebrand, change menu, or just fancy a fresh look.
Use your own domain (e.g. yourbusiness.co.uk) instead of staying on the LocalLaunch subdomain. We handle DNS and SSL.
Two ways. You can sign into your dashboard any time and edit the text yourself (welcome line, about, menu blurbs) at no extra cost. And when you want a bigger change (new menu, rebrand, fresh look), a full redesign rebuilds the whole site for £20. There's nothing to install and no day-to-day upkeep for you; that stays with us.
We find independent businesses that don't have a modern website and build a draft for them, using only public information about you (reviews, photos, hours from Google and similar). The site stays in preview mode, watermarked with our banner, until you claim it. If you don't want it, ignore the postcard and nothing happens.
Yes. Sign into your dashboard and you can edit the copy on any section: the welcome line, the about paragraph, your menu blurbs, the lot. Design, layout and the day-to-day upkeep stay on us; that's the whole point of the service. And the first draft is written from your real online presence (reviews, listings, your Google profile), so it already sounds like you, not a template. You're polishing rather than starting from a blank page. For bigger structural changes, the £20 redesign rebuilds the site from scratch.
Yes, that's the £20/year custom domain add-on. We point your domain (like yourbusiness.co.uk) at the site and handle DNS & SSL. Without it, you stay on a clean yourbusiness.locallaunch.uk subdomain that's perfectly fine to share with customers.
Hosting on UK infrastructure, SSL certificate renewal, daily security updates, real-human email support, and the dashboard you log into, where you can edit your own copy any time. A full redesign is an optional £20 one-off, only when you want one. No premium tier, no surprise bills.
It comes down. Your subdomain becomes available again and we delete your data within 30 days. You can re-claim later if you change your mind, but to be clear: this is a subscription service, not a one-off purchase.
Because the boring 80% (researching your business, writing first-draft copy, putting together a layout) is automated. We use that head-start to keep the price low. A bespoke freelance site can be brilliant; it just isn't realistic on every high street, and someone still has to keep it updated. We solve a different problem.
LocalLaunch is run by Cloud Sherpa Ltd, a small UK software company. We're not a US tech giant or a faceless template shop; you'll be talking to the people who built it.
