Voyage Systems Get started
For small businesses and independent brands who sell online

We build your website.
Then we keep it working.

New pages, product uploads, and whatever quietly breaks — handled all year for one flat monthly fee.

Free website check — see what is costing you customers

Free. Takes about ten seconds. No email, no sign-up, and we do not keep the result.

This is the job

Same website. Different business.

Most small business sites are not ugly. They are slow, cramped and hard to use on a phone — and that is what costs the sale.

Before After
The same website, before and after. Drag the handle — or use the arrow keys.

Where it actually matters

Nearly everyone who visits your site is holding one of these.

Not sitting at a desk on office wi-fi with everything already cached. On a phone, on a train, on three bars of signal — which is the one place most small business websites quietly fall apart.

This is the holding page that goes up on day one, while the real site gets built. An address that says coming soon and takes an email costs you nothing. A domain that shows an error page costs you the customer.

Coming soon

Something worth
waiting for.

A new site is on the way. Leave your email and we will tell you the day it goes live.

What you actually get

Three things, all year round.

We build your website, run it day to day, and keep it working — for online shops, service businesses, makers, studios and anyone who sells online.

The jobs that never get done

  • a website that needs building properly in the first place
  • a new product line that needs pages, photos, prices and descriptions
  • a homepage that has not been touched since the site went live
  • a contact form or checkout that quietly broke and nobody noticed
  • a site that takes nine seconds to load on a phone

Why not an agency or a freelancer

Most agencies want a project, a proposal and a minimum spend. Most freelancers vanish for four days when you need a price changed by Friday.

We do not. You send three lines and we build the thing. By month two we know your theme, your voice and your busy season, and you stop writing briefs altogether.

Measured on real websites

The most common problem we find, and what fixing it looks like.

Real numbers from live UK websites, taken with the free checker above. Almost every small business site has at least one of these.

Before you pay us anything

Tell us one thing you would change. We will build it.

You should not have to take our word for it. So we do a real piece of work on your site first, for nothing, and you look at it before you decide.

You tell us one thing

Anything off your list. A homepage that looks dated, a product page that is not selling, a page you have never got round to building.

We build it properly

Not a sketch or a mockup — the real thing, built exactly how we would build it for somebody paying. Usually back within a few days.

You have a look

We send a private link. Click round it, show your business partner, sleep on it. It sits on our preview, not on your live site.

You decide

Like it? Start a plan and it goes live, usually the same day. Do not? Nothing happens. No card was taken and there is nothing to cancel.

Why we do it this way

We could show you somebody else’s website instead. But you would learn far more from seeing your own, fixed — and we would rather spend an afternoon proving we are any good than write another paragraph claiming it.

And the honest bit

The catch, such as it is: look at it as long as you like, but it goes live when you become a client. We would rather say that plainly than bury it in the small print.

No card, no account, no obligation. One preview per business.

Pricing

From £100 a month. No hours, no quotes.

The only difference between the plans is how fast things come back.

Shelf

Start on Whole Shop

We are not VAT registered, so there is no VAT to add. A full theme build or a platform migration is a one-off project, quoted separately — ask and you will get a number.

The honest bit

If you have three jobs a year, do not sign up.

Hire a freelancer per job and keep your money. We will say so on the call, and we would rather have the referral than the refund.

This is worth it when the jobs are constant and small, when you are tired of writing briefs, and when the cost of the wrong banner still being up is bigger than the subscription. That is most growing businesses. It is not all of them.

Run the free check above. If it comes back clean, we will tell you that too.

What we will not do

  • Bill you by the hour, or count your minutes
  • Charge for redoing our own mistakes
  • Lock you into a contract or a notice period
  • Take a job we are not good at and learn on your website
  • Touch your live theme without telling you first
  • Keep charging through a month you did not use

Pause in a quiet month and pick it up when you need it. We would much rather that than a cancellation.

Ten seconds, and you will know.

Run the free check on your own website. If there is nothing wrong we will say so, and you can get on with your day.
