Notla.Wales
A web studio in Swansea

Every customer arrives with a question. Most websites never answer it.

How much will it cost? Will it work for me? Can I trust you? We build websites, and the small interactive tools that sit inside them, to answer those questions before you and your customer ever speak, so that by the time someone gets in touch, they have largely made up their mind. We do this for service businesses that would rather matter to a few people than be ignored by everyone.

Or start small: try us for £125. One page, built properly, yours. Have a chat with us.

The problem

Attention is the scarcest thing your business competes for. Most websites spend it like it is free.

A template, a stock photo, and a paragraph that begins with "Welcome to". It proves you exist, and that is all it does. It answers none of the questions your customer came with, gives them nothing to use, and nothing worth passing on.

Playing it safe feels sensible, but it is not: a website that looks like everyone else's is invisible, and an invisible website is expensive at any price.

What we build

Three things. Done properly.

Websites.

Clear, fast, and built for the people you serve, with your words and your photos. One job: help the right customer decide that you are the right choice. No sliders, no jargon, no "Welcome to".

Good for: being found, being understood, being chosen.

Interactives.

Small browser tools your customers actually use. A quote calculator. A planner. A guided explainer. A game that teaches what you do. Things worth a link, a share, and a return visit.

Good for: being useful, being remembered, being recommended.

A different kind of build

Custom portals and web apps.

Websites your customers and staff sign in to. A client portal that shows each person their own documents, bookings or progress. A staff area for rotas, handbooks and the things you are tired of re-sending. A loyalty card that lives on your customer's phone: nine stamps, tenth drink free.

These are a different kind of build. Accounts and live data need infrastructure that runs all the time, so they are not handed over as plain HTML files: they live on systems we run for you, with a monthly management plan. Each one starts with a conversation and gets its own quotation.

Good for: regulars, repeat visits, and hours of admin you get back.

Everything runs in the browser. No app stores, no downloads, no installation. If it has a screen, it works.

Proof

Do not take our word for it. Use this.

We could show you a wall of logos. Instead, here is the product itself: a small interactive, live on this page, built the way we build them for clients. Have a go.

How fast it pays for itself● live

One job, one booking, one client: whatever a single customer typically pays you.

£1,175 ÷ £300 a customer = 4, rounded up Customer 5 onwards is beyond the build cost

Most things a business buys only cost money. This one has a finish line, and you can see it from here.

Simple arithmetic, not a forecast. Now imagine a tool like this on your own site, answering the question your customers are too polite to ask.

Recent work

Work with our name on it.

Gordon Down and Company are chartered accountants in Swansea and Cardiff who had been building and running their own website on Wix, and wanted something faster, better at winning work, and off their plate. We designed and built the replacement, including three live interactives their visitors can actually use: a VAT calculator, an MTD checker and an employment tool. We host it and keep it updated too, so running a website is no longer part of their week. See it at gordondown.co.uk, then come back.

"They really listened to our needs and requirements, while bringing innovative ideas of their own that helped take the final result to the next level."

Five stars. Philip Harris, Gordon Down and Company, on Google

Fit

This is not for everyone. That is the point.

Probably for you if

  • You sell a service, and you can describe exactly who it is for.
  • You want to be worth talking about, not just present.
  • You would trade a little safety for a lot of memorable.
  • You see a website as a tool that should pay for itself.

Probably not for you if

  • You want the cheapest possible site by Friday.
  • You want to look exactly like the biggest firm in your industry.
  • You measure success in likes.
  • You need someone who says yes to everything.

The right customers make the work better. That applies to us too.

How it works

Four steps. No surprises.

This is how websites and interactives happen. Custom portals and web apps get a plan of their own, agreed in your quotation.

Talk

Thirty minutes, free, no pitch deck. You tell us what your business does and who it serves. We tell you honestly whether we can help.

Agree

A fixed price and a clear scope before any work starts. No hourly meter, no surprises.

Build

We design and build on our established system. Two rounds of changes are free in your first 30 days, and if something is wrong or not working, we fix it free.

Launch

You get the finished site as plain HTML files, yours to keep and host anywhere. Or we host it for you at £15 a month and keep it online.

From us to you

Yours. Actually yours.

On full payment, we give you your finished website, your interactives, and the words and images created for you. We hand over the files, plain HTML you can take anywhere, at any time. The technical foundation we build on stays ours, and you keep a permanent, free licence to it as part of your site.

No lock-in. No ransom.

For good causes

Two builds a year. Free.

Each year we build two websites free of charge for not for profit organisations: up to five pages, one interactive, and hosting on us. Not a stripped-down version, the same work we sell, and you own it the same way. You bring the words and pictures, same as everyone.

If you run a not for profit that needs one, tell us what you do and who it helps. We choose the two we think we can help most, and when both slots are gone for the year, we will say so.

Straight answers

The things people ask before they ask.

What does it cost?

A fixed price, agreed before we start, sized to the job. If the number does not make sense against what the work should earn you, we will say so ourselves. If you want the shape of it now, there is an estimator just below.

Can I host it myself?

Yes. We hand over plain HTML files, and you are free to host them yourself, leave them with us, or move them whenever you like. No lock-in, no ransom.

Do you use templates?

No, but we do reuse our own engineering. You should not pay us to reinvent navigation, speed and accessibility, so every build stands on our proven technical foundation. Everything you can see, the design, the words, the tools, starts from your customers, not a theme store.

How do changes work?

Every website and interactive build includes two rounds of amendments, free, used during the build or within 30 days of launch. If we got something wrong against what was agreed, fixing it is free, does not use up a round, and always will be: that is on us. A change of heart after your two free rounds is charged at £90 per page changed, per round. More than 30 days after launch, changes are quoted as new work or handled through Website Care.

Do you build online shops?

No. A shop needs payment, stock, shipping and support infrastructure, and that deserves a specialist. We build for service businesses: people whose product is what they do.

Will you ever say no?

Yes. If we are not the right fit, we will tell you quickly, and where we can, we will point you somewhere better.

Where are you?

Swansea. We work with businesses anywhere, but we are made in Wales and glad of it.

Your number

See the shape of your price. Before you ask.

Most studios hide their prices behind a contact form. We would rather you knew whether we are in your ballpark before you spend a minute on us. Choose what fits. The number changes as you do. The first page is £125, about a year of a DIY site builder: it is priced as a door, not a race to the bottom. Come back for a bigger build within 30 days and the £125 comes off it.

Why we recommend it

Most words about a business are written from the inside. We sit with you, work out what you actually do, who it is for, and what your customer needs to hear, then we write it into every page and refine it with you. Websites fail on words more than design, and getting yours right is half the reason to come to us at all.

Photography

We spend a day at your business and shoot it properly. You get a small set of finished photographs chosen to do a job, not a memory stick of maybes.

What the price includes

Everything: our travel, accommodation where needed, the full day on site, and all editing and finishing. The price covers anywhere we can drive to in England, Scotland and Wales; if a ferry or a flight has to carry us, we price the trip individually first. Still one number, still no expenses invoice. The shoot is scheduled around your business and sits outside the delivery clock below.

How the fast lanes work

Fast means we clear the diary, so fast costs more. The multiplier applies to the build itself: pages, interactives and copy. Photography, hosting and Website Care are never multiplied. If we miss the date, you do not pay the premium.

What hosting is, and is not

Hosting is the computer your site lives on. We keep your files on a fast, secure server, online around the clock, and handle the technical upkeep. It is not your domain name: that is your address on the web, registered separately for roughly £10 to £25 a year, and you register it in your own name so you always own it. We help you set it up and point it at the site. And because you have the files, you can host anywhere else whenever you like.

£95 per interactive

Rates, thresholds and rules move. We restructure your interactives against the current rules. Priced per interactive, pay as you go.

Website Care

Priced per page, so the numbers below follow your slider. Cancel anytime.

What care includes

Content edits each visit: text, images, prices, opening hours. Plus priority support, updates, and routine checks that everything still works. It is care, not a rebuild: new pages and new features are quoted separately.
