Founding Ten

Ten builds, at half price.

I'm building a search platform called M7SEO and I need real sites to prove it on. The first ten get any build at half price, with the tooling running on it free for as long as you're hosted.

In exchange I write it up: what the tooling suggested, what I tried, and what actually moved.

Why it's half price

I need ten sites to train my SEO software on

You get a cheap website. I get proof the tooling works.

  • What you get

    Any build at 50% off, not just the small ones: a five-page static site from £250, a CMS site you manage yourself, or a shop. Built properly, and set up to be found by search engines and by the AI assistants people now ask first. Hosting and support from £25 a month, and if that price ever goes up, yours doesn't. Then a write-up on this site when the results come in, with a link back to yours.

  • What I get

    Ten real sites to train M7SEO on. It's my own search platform, and so far it has been proved on exactly one site: this one. Ten live businesses tells me whether its recommendations are any good in a way one site never will, which is why the offer covers shops and CMS builds rather than only the small ones. Ten near-identical sites would teach it ten near-identical lessons.

  • What I'll publish

    What I built, what the tooling suggested, what I changed, and what happened to your search traffic over the following months. Including the changes that did nothing and what I tried instead, because that is the part nobody else publishes. If something isn't working it is the next thing to fix, not the end of the write-up.

Prices

What it costs

Fixed price, agreed before any work starts.

  • Founding Ten

    Half price, any build

    • A static site from £250, a CMS site from £500, a shop from £750
    • Findable by search engines and by the AI assistants people ask first
    • M7SEO search tooling running on it, free for as long as you're hosted
    • Hosting and support from £25 a month, with no minimum term

    Ten builds at half price, for small local businesses and organisations. Early ones keep their hosting rate when it goes up.

  • Static site

    £500–£1,500

    • Up to five pages or sections, built from a template or a parallax layout
    • Hand-built and static, so there is nothing to patch and nothing to break
    • Findable by search engines and by AI assistants, with the metadata and files that takes
    • Set up to share properly on social and in messaging apps

    When the site needs to look right, load fast and cost almost nothing to run.

  • CMS site

    £1,000–£3,000

    • Everything in a static build
    • A dashboard you edit the content from yourself
    • Built on Bedrock-WordPress, so updates are tested rather than hoped over
    • As many pages as the business needs, with a structure that holds as it grows

    When somebody in the business will be adding and changing content.

  • Online shop

    From £1,500

    • Everything in a CMS build
    • Products, payments, delivery and tax set up for how you actually sell
    • Order and stock handling that fits the way the business runs

    When you are selling online and the shop is part of how the business works.

  • Hosting & support

    £25–£250 a month

    • Hosting, updates, backups and someone to call
    • M7SEO search tooling included, free for as long as you stay hosted
    • Fixed monthly cost, no surprises and no minimum term

    £25 covers a five-page static site. A busy shop sits at the other end of the band.

It already works

One page was enough for a judo club

  • Moonrakers Judo Club

    A single scrolling page covering the club's story, class schedule, coaching team, member welfare and a contact form with a map. Professional enough to build trust with new families, and a few pounds a month to run.

  • You own it

    The code and the domain are yours, not rented. No minimum term on the hosting either, so if you ever want to move it you can, and I'll help you do that rather than make it awkward. Most sites at this price live inside a page builder you can never leave.

Send me a few photos

Photos of your work and the areas you cover are enough to start, and you don't need any copy written. I'll come back with what the five pages would be, or tell you straight if you need something bigger.
