Yes, website design is included. A Brandspace website management service also covers copy, hosting, updates, and monthly improvements in one plan. Here's exactly what you get, how the plans differ, and what sits outside the core offer.

Yes, website design is included. So are the parts most agencies treat as extras or hourly work.

A Brandspace website management service puts design, copy, hosting, technical management, and ongoing improvements into one monthly subscription. You’re buying a partnership that keeps working after launch, not a one-off project handoff.

If you’re comparing options and still wondering what you actually get, this page spells it out. For full pricing, see our website plans.

What’s included

Website design and build

We start from proven conversion patterns for service businesses, then tailor the layout, brand, and message to your niche. The goal is a site that helps the right clients choose you, not a generic brochure that sits still after launch.

Copywriting support

Clear messaging is part of the build. We help explain what you do, who it’s for, and why someone should enquire, so prospects aren’t left guessing.

Hosting and technical management

Secure hosting, updates, and the technical upkeep most owners hate dealing with sit inside the plan. You shouldn’t need a separate hosting bill and a developer on speed dial for routine care.

Ongoing improvements

Your site is meant to evolve. On the right plan that means new pages, refinements, and optimisation as part of the monthly rhythm, so the site keeps pace with the business.

Website updates

Text, image, and layout changes are handled for you within your plan’s update allowance. On PRO, that means unlimited website updates. On Standard and Starter, you get a set amount of monthly update time, with Standard built for more ongoing work.

Direct support

You get easy access to Matt and the team when something needs changing. The point is a responsive partnership, not a ticket queue you have to chase.

Room to grow

When you want more demand on top of a stronger site, you can add SEO packages or ads. Those are growth add-ons, not a separate primary pitch.

How the plans differ

All plans include design, hosting, and management. Where they differ is scale, ongoing optimisation, and how much the site grows with you each month.

  • Starter suits simpler setups that need a solid core site and lighter monthly change time.
  • Standard is the foundation most ambitious service businesses start from: more pages over the term, integrations, ongoing optimisation, and a clearer growth rhythm.
  • PRO is for businesses that want the site treated as a serious commercial asset: more pages, priority support, two new pages a month, and unlimited updates.

Most high-ticket service businesses look at Standard or PRO. Full detail and pricing live on the website plans page.

What isn’t included

We focus on service businesses and professional services. We don’t build ecommerce stores or product catalogues on Shopify or WooCommerce.

SEO and PPC sit as optional add-ons unless you’re already on those plans. The website management service comes first; demand channels plug in when you’re ready.

Ownership and flexibility

After the initial term on your plan, the site is fully yours. You can stay on a managed plan, upgrade anytime, or move to a lighter hosting and maintenance setup if that suits you better. The monthly model is built for a long-term partnership with a clear exit path.

Who this is for

Brandspace is built for dentists, lawyers, consultants, and other high-ticket service businesses that want a website partner, not another project vendor. If you’re unsure whether you fit, read who managed websites are for.

FAQs

Is website design included?

Yes. Design is included, along with copy, hosting, and technical management. You’re not buying hosting and then paying extra for the creative work.

Who writes the copy?

We provide copywriting support as part of the build, so messaging and structure are handled with the design rather than left as a separate project for you to manage.

Is hosting included?

Yes. Fast, secure hosting and website management sit inside the monthly plan.

What happens after the initial term?

The site is yours. Plans then run month to month. You can stay managed, upgrade, or move to a lighter hosting and maintenance setup.

Can I add SEO later?

Yes. Local SEO and wider SEO plans are available as add-ons once the website management service is in place. See SEO packages.

How is this different from a traditional agency project?

A traditional project often peaks at launch, then switches you onto tickets and care-plan extras. Our website management service keeps design, hosting, updates, and improvement inside one monthly partnership. For a fuller comparison, see traditional web agency vs monthly website partnership.
