When an idea develops into a business opportunity, this is commonly referred to as a startup business or "startup" for short.
However, there is one thing that all startups have in common; they all require an online presence in the form of a blog or website, for example, to share and promote their products and services for others to buy.
Creating a new website can be a stressful experience, many startups may even consider trying to build their own website to keep the costs down, alternatively they may decide to hire an experienced web designer or web development company to help bring their business ideas to life for them. However, web designers and developers can be very expensive and sometimes the cost of these services can be very vague or unclear, raising the risk of encountering hidden charges that may not have been taken into consideration within the initial business plan and could prove fatal to a small startup with a limited budget.
For that reason, many startups and small to medium businesses today are choosing to embrace new and more modern ways of working such as ‘Rent a website’ services. Rent a website services remove the need for risk and binding contracts, so they are ideally suited to startups and small to medium sized businesses today.
Rent a Website's provide a totally 100% scalable online service offering, removing the need for minimum term agreements and providing a clear and transparent pricing model from the offset. There are no hidden charges whatsoever with Rent a website services and they provide a tailored approach to meeting the needs of any modern-day business looking to keep running costs to a minimum whilst remaining 100% flexible in their approach. Startup businesses can also benefit from the product scalability of a Rent a website offering, as they allow businesses to upgrade their services when business is on the up and downgrade them again should times get tough.
Startups who choose to rent their website instead of going down the old-fashioned route of hiring in a web designer and/or developer will benefit as there are no hidden charges and they can rely on an expert team to carry out all the work for them on their behalf, allowing them to concentrate on running a business and not worrying about their cash flow.
Rent a Website services should include the cost of the website build, website hosting, On-page SEO, monthly updates and a time bank for any monthly changes needed, the charges vary and can start from as little as £9.99 per month depending on the level of service required. Rent a website services should also be easily upgraded to include other services such as professional email, Search Engine Optimisation, XML sitemaps and more.
Why keeping the cost of development down is so important?
Building a website for your startup business could end up costing thousands of pounds and once you add up all the additional charges for possible changes needed to complete them this can easily spiral out of control. Bear in mind, that you may need to pay additional charges for on-page SEO or hidden services charges if the service over runs, or last-minute changes are required. It is also worth bearing in mind that updates and backups can at times be very time-consuming depending on the size of the website, so when taking out such services these should always be included as part of the project.
Key benefits of a Rent a Website service:
100% transparency, just one monthly charge to cater for all your needs
100% scalable to suit your business model
No contracts or minimum term
No hidden charges for hosting, backups or on-page SEO

Exciting times for Dorset based Online Marketing & SEO Agency "SEO Flatrate" with the launch of their brand new Head Office in Poole Dorset, the offices themselves are situated within Discovery Court Business Centre in Poole at 551-553 Wallisdown Road. The award winning online marketing agency look now to expand their workforce in the coming months and are also planning on employing a full time apprentice for the role of online marketing consultant later in the year.
SEO Flatrate became known for winning the Scoot Headline Awards back in 2016 with the launch of their Bournemouth branch and the all inclusive "Rent A Website" services package that offered a risk free and non contractual rental alternative to an otherwise costly website design service available on the market.
Here is what Robbie at SEO Flatrate had to say:
"Here at SEO Flatrate we have tailored all our products and services around startups and small to medium sized business, in todays market just having a pretty website for example simply is not enough. Business owners throughout the UK are discovering the power of online marketing and the benefits of Search Engine Optimisation "SEO" and are questioning why their websites are not performing on the search engines.
The reality is that every business owner wants the top spot on Google for their website, but the truth is that there are only 10 spots available on page one and only the best online marketing agencies in the UK have the ability to get you there.
Some SEO agencies tend to make empty promises of a page one position on Google, but the facts are, that nobody can actually guarantee a first page result and we believe that business owners should stear clear of all those that make unethical promises that they can't keep!
That does not mean that Google page one is out of reach, SEO Flatrate are indeed ranking many client keywords on page one already but more to the point, we won't make unethical promises or give empty guarantees. Instead we choose to work closely together with our clients ever aiming for the top spot but with the main goal to promote and market our customers products & services on all the major search engines and not just the one. We can't be fairer than that can we?
Take Rent a Website as an example, this is a fantastic product for startups and small to medium sized businesses, it provides a 100% risk free alternative and massive savings compared to conventional website design services we otherwise see advertised. Such a service can cost anywhere between £300-£500 on average depending on the project it can be far more. With Rent a Website however, business owners can get professional web design, business email, web & email hosting, daily backups and updates all for one simple monthly charge. Rent a Website pricing starts from just £16.99 per month and the service can be cancelled at any time giving just 30 days notice, that's a lot of money saved for a business of any kind never mind a startup.
Rent a Website was designed specifically with startups and small businesses in mind, as most startups don't have a massive budget for marketing and web design. In fact the truth of the matter is, that a large propostion of new business startups are run from home by mums and dads still holding down a full time job whilst trying to find new customers."
Robbie went on to say:
"Our Support team have been based in Bournemouth down on Christchurch Road now for some 2 years, but with the traffic situation being so bad, at times it has proven difficult for our customers to meet us face to face. Now with the addition of our new head office in Poole we have the ability to reach out to far more local customers throughout Poole, Bournemouth, Wimborne, Christchurch, Dorchester, Blandford and Dorset whilst the Bournemouth office continues to concentrate on growing its UK wide SEO reseller opportunities aimed at supporting tech companies and tech startups UK wide. We currently have resellers based in Poole and Bournemouth but even as far as Derby, London & Edingburgh.

2018 sees the launch of the brand new website for Bournemouth based Swedish Dry Cleaners after over 30 years of running his business without any online presence the Swedish Dry Cleaners of Bournemouth approached Dorset based "SEO Flatrate" with the request to consult on creating and building a modern website that was simple in its functionality to provide upto date and relevent information to it's customers on upcoming and ongoing offers as clusive pricelist for services delivered as facility as well as Web and Email hosting services, Business Email Services. After the initial consultation it was decided that the all inclusive Rent-A-Website Platinum plan was the right choice as it offered all of the above services and more without any contracts commitment or minimum term aggrement.
This is what the businenes owner Robbert had this to say.
"Swedish Dry Cleaners is a family run professional dry cleaning company based in the heart of Moordown Bournemouth, we have been trading from the same store at 751 Wimborne Road sinse 1979. When we started out, the internet did not even excist so having a website had never crossed our mind, it was only when customers starting asking if we had a price list online I knew we needed to go online. At first we were not quite sure what the costs would be as we had found that pricing varied no matter where we looked and the information available to us online was inconclusive to say the least. When we spoke to the team at SEO Flatrate they were really helpful and were able to explain everything to us in detail, so that it all made sense to rent a website instead of having to pay fro the design and build up front. We now have a great website at an all-inclusive price that includes our hosting charges, email and any changes we need to make each month. It really is as simple as we had hoped it would be and it provides our clients with everything they have asked us for too. On top of all the obvios benefits, there were no contracts to sign or service agreements that we were bound by so the service could be cancelled at any time. As your local dry cleaning company we take great pride in providing the highest quality care when handling clothing and accessories but we also need to make sure we remain competative so that we can continue to offer a great service to our customers, Rent a Website allows us to do this."
