How to buy a website for a business
4 minute read 
If you’re in the market for a new website, it’s important to understand what’s involved in the process. With so many options available, finding the perfect fit for your business can feel like a challenge. A well-designed website is more than just an online presence—it’s a tool that works for you, helping to attract customers, generate leads, and grow your business. 
 
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to buying a website that delivers real results—and explain why an it'seeze website could be exactly what you’re looking for. 
 
1. Start by Defining Your Goals 
Before diving into web design, take a moment to clarify your goals. A strong website starts with a clear purpose. Ask yourself: 
 
What do I want my website to achieve? (e.g., attracting leads, selling products, showcasing services). 
Who is my ideal audience, and how will they interact with my website? 
How much am I prepared to invest in building a professional online presence? 
 
Being clear about your objectives will help you choose the right website provider and make decisions that align with your long-term goals. 
 
2. Work With a Trusted Expert 
One of the key advantages of choosing it’seeze is the expertise that comes with it. When you opt for our With You or For You services, you’ll work directly with Nick Templeton, a seasoned web design consultant with over 15 years of experience. 
 
Nick applies his wealth of knowledge to every project, ensuring your website isn’t just visually appealing but also strategically designed to meet your goals. From helping you refine your vision to providing practical advice, his guidance is an invaluable asset. 
 
(Prefer to Go It Alone? Our 'By You' Planning Service is perfect for confident business owners who know what they want and are comfortable planning and providing their own content to the design team.) 
 
3. Wait Before Buying a Domain Name 
Many business owners make the mistake of rushing to purchase a domain name without fully understanding the implications. This can lead to issues with renewals, accessibility, or compatibility with your website provider. 
 
At it'seeze, we take care of this for you. We’ll help you choose a domain name that fits your business and register it on your behalf, ensuring it’s securely managed and renewed as part of your package. This way, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your domain is in good hands. 
 
4. Choose a Website Package That Fits Your Needs 
A successful website is one that suits your business at its current stage and grows with you as your needs evolve. At it’seeze, we offer three packages tailored to different requirements: 
 
Lite: Ideal for small businesses or start-ups looking for a simple, professional presence. 
Plus: Perfect for growing businesses that need additional functionality. 
Max: Designed for established businesses with more complex needs or custom features. 
 
Each package comes with secure hosting, an easy-to-use editing system, and ongoing support to ensure your website remains effective. 
 
5. Make Use of Smart Email Services 
Setting up a professional email can be expensive if you rely on platforms like Google Workspace or Microsoft 365. With it'seeze, our smart email service is included in your package, saving you money while ensuring you have a reliable, professional email solution. 
 
6. Avoid DIY Website Builders and AI Tools 
DIY platforms like Wix and GoDaddy may seem convenient, but they often limit your ability to create a truly unique website. These tools rely on rigid templates that may not align with your brand or customer journey. 
 
AI-generated websites can also fall short—they might produce a functional design, but they rarely understand the subtleties of customer-facing communication. 
 
Why Choose it’seeze? We design every website from the ground up, ensuring it’s bespoke, professional, and tailored to meet your business goals. 
 
7. Select the Right Package Planning Service 
At it'seeze, we offer three planning services to suit your needs: 
 
By You Planning Service: Best for business owners who are confident in planning their website and providing content directly to our design team. 
With You Planning Service: A collaborative option where Nick Templeton helps you refine your ideas, define your goals, and guide the planning process. 
For You Website Service: A fully managed solution where Nick handles everything—from planning and sourcing content to delivering the final brief and website. 
 
Our Recommendation: If you’re short on time or want the reassurance of expert input, the With You or For You website planning service is the ideal choice. 
 
8. Focus on Bespoke Design and Features 
Your website is often the first thing customers see when they interact with your business, so it’s essential that it makes a strong impression. At it'seeze, we specialise in bespoke designs tailored to your brand, ensuring your website reflects your unique identity. 
 
Want to go the extra mile? We offer optional add-ons like moving banners or animations, starting at just £100 + VAT, to give your website a polished, professional edge. 
 
9. Work With a Provider That Supports You 
A great website doesn’t end when it goes live—it requires ongoing attention to keep it performing. Many providers disappear after launch, but at it’seeze, we’re committed to helping your website grow alongside your business. 
 
From weekday support to SEO advice and regular catch-ups, we’re here to ensure your website stays effective and aligned with your goals. 
 
10. Know What Happens After Launch 
When your website is live, what’s next? With it’seeze, you’ll benefit from: 
 
Secure hosting and fast performance. 
An easy-to-use content management system. 
Full compliance with legal requirements, giving you peace of mind. 
 
Thinking Long-Term: If you ever choose to leave us (though we’re confident you won’t!), we’ll provide you with a copy of your website’s frontend so you retain ownership of your investment. 
 
Why Choose it’seeze for Your Website? 
When you choose it'seeze, you’re not just getting a website—you’re investing in a tailored, professional service backed by years of experience. From domain management and email services to bespoke design and ongoing support, we make owning a website simple and stress-free.
