Free One Page Website
I’ll build your business a professional one-page website. Completely free.
No setup fee. No hosting bill. No surprise pitch afterwards. I’m building a new portfolio of real UK small-business websites for Ratiom, so I’m giving a limited number away for £0.
- Website £0
- Hosting £0
- You own it
- No upsell
Why it’s free
A straightforward exchange.
I want Ratiom’s UK portfolio to be built from real businesses, not fictional concepts. Instead of putting that budget into ads, I’d rather put the work into a small number of useful websites.
You get a professionally built website.
I get a genuine UK project I can show as an example of my work. If you’re pleased with the result, I’d also appreciate a short written review about the experience.
That’s the reason for the offer. There is no paid package you have to buy afterwards.
Why “One For a Oner”?It’s the name of my one-page £100 website offer. For this initial UK portfolio run, I’m waiving the £100 fee for selected businesses — so your website is genuinely free.
What you get
A proper business website. Not a disposable freebie.
The site will be designed around your actual business, your services and the action you want a visitor to take next.
Mobile first
Easy to read, tap and contact you from the phone your customer is already holding.
Clear
People should understand what you do and where you work within seconds.
Built to get enquiries
Calls, messages and enquiries are treated as the job of the page, not an afterthought.
The practical bit
The site is free. You only buy your domain.
A domain is simply your website address — something like yourbusiness.co.uk.
You buy it yourself from a domain registrar such as GoDaddy or Namecheap, so it is registered in your name and under your control. I’ll help you connect it to the website.
I’ll host the website itself for free.
You own the finished website.
You are not renting it from me and you are not locked into Ratiom.
If you want to move it elsewhere later, or have another developer take over, that is completely fine. The finished site is yours.
Why bother?
Your customer expects things to be easy now.
Local businesses are not only competing with the business down the road. They are competing with the standard of convenience people experience everywhere else online.
People are used to Uber and Deliveroo
Customers are used to opening an app, understanding what happens next and taking action without friction. Your website should feel just as straightforward.
Gig platforms make comparison easy
Platforms such as Taskrabbit package services neatly and make it easy to choose someone. A clean website gives your own business a professional place to compete on its own terms.
Social media is useful — but it isn’t yours
Not everyone has Instagram or Facebook. Everyone with a browser can open your website. It also gives you one place to send people from Google, WhatsApp, flyers, recommendations and business cards.
Who is building it?
Hi, I’m Gary.
I’ve spent more than 20 years working across websites, digital marketing, ecommerce and conversion. I’m the person who will actually work on your site from start to finish.
For me, this is not about making a pretty page for the sake of it. A small-business website should be a useful business asset: it should make you look credible, explain what you do quickly and make it easy for somebody to call, message or enquire.
That experience — knowing what to leave out as much as what to put in — is what makes the offer useful.
No agency routine
I’ve removed the bits nobody needs.
Long discovery meetings
40-page proposals
Mysterious quotes
Required monthly plans
Account-manager layers

FAQ
The obvious questions.
The offer is deliberately simple. These are the things I would want to know before applying.
What's the catch?
There isn't one. I'm building a fresh UK portfolio for Ratiom and I want it to be made up of real businesses and real work. You get the website at no charge. If you're happy with the result, I ask for a short written review and permission to show the site as an example of my work.
Are you going to sell me something afterwards?
No. There is no required upgrade, hosting plan or sales pitch at the end. If you choose to work with me again later, that's up to you. This offer stands on its own.
I don't think I need a website. Why bother?
You may already get work through recommendations or social media. The website gives potential customers a simple place to check what you do, see your work, find your contact details and compare you with other businesses. It also gives you somewhere permanent to publish practical information such as cancellation rules or your own terms, so you have something clear to refer back to if a dispute ever comes up.
Why not just use Facebook or Instagram?
Keep using them if they work for you. A website does a different job: anyone with a browser can access it, no account is required, and you control the content. That can be especially useful for people who don't use the same social platforms as you, including older customers.
Do I really own the finished website?
Yes. The site is yours. Your domain should be bought in your own name as well. If you later want to move the website to another suitable host or hand it to another developer, you're free to do that.
A real website for your business. Free.
