Savvy Website

Savvy Website is a Glasgow-based web design agency that builds fixed-price websites for small businesses and tradespeople across Glasgow, Edinburgh, and central Scotland. The business is run by Michael Sathorar as a sole trader operating from the Southside, and it offers a free homepage preview before any payment is required.

The standard package costs £500 fixed with no monthly fees, split into two payments of £250 each. The first half is paid to start the build, and the balance is only requested once the client approves the finished site. If the site is not approved, the balance is not paid and the site still transfers to the client.

The process begins with a free homepage preview sent before any money changes hands. If the preview is liked, the client pays £250 to start, followed by a twenty-minute phone call where the entire site content is written. The site goes live about a week later, and the final £250 is paid upon approval.

The agency serves specific trades including joiners, barbers, plumbers, electricians, and cafes, in addition to general small businesses. They cover areas such as Glasgow, Edinburgh, Greenock, East Kilbride, Paisley, and Clydebank, with most work done remotely without the need for a face-to-face meeting.

Michael Sathorar writes every word on the site based on a single twenty-minute phone conversation, rather than relying on client-supplied copy or a written brief. This method ensures the content is tailored directly to the business's needs without requiring homework from the client.

The business operates as a one-person team with no account managers, sales teams, or ticket queues. Clients deal directly with Michael, who answers calls, texts, and WhatsApp messages, typically responding within one working day.

The agency is located at 0/2, 9 Strathyre Street, Glasgow G41 3LL, which is described as a working address rather than a traditional shop. Clients are encouraged to ring first if they prefer not to meet in person, though meetings are available within a reasonable run of Glasgow.

The site includes optional care and growth plans starting at £24.99 a month to keep the website secure and up to date. These plans are entirely separate from the initial build cost and are not mandatory for the core service.

The website is built using a method where the domain and site are owned outright by the client in their name, not licensed or held hostage. Both the site and domain are transferable, ensuring full ownership once the project is complete.

The business claims to have a unique approach where the entire site is written from a single phone conversation, avoiding the need for clients to fill out briefs or learn software. This contrasts with other models that might charge extra for copywriting or require ongoing monthly fees.

The agency offers a free plan that includes one page designed to help the business appear on Google, identify competitors, and find three things costing them calls. This page is kept by the client regardless of whether they hire Savvy Website for the full build.

The business emphasizes that the £500 price covers the entire build without hidden monthly fees, contrasting with budget packages that often require monthly maintenance charges. The site is designed to be found on Google, addressing a common need for local businesses.
