Why Lumina
Everything a small business site needs, nothing it doesn't
We keep our costs low by hosting hundreds of sites on fast, modern infrastructure — so we can afford to build yours for free and charge only for the hosting.
Designed by humans
No cookie-cutter templates. A designer lays out your pages around your business, your colours and your voice.
Fast, secure hosting
Your £1.99 covers global edge hosting, an SSL certificate, backups and updates. It loads quickly everywhere.
Your own domain
We register yourbusiness.co.uk at cost plus a small markup, quoted per ending before you commit.
Small edits included
New opening hours, a price change, a fresh photo — email us and we'll update it, no extra charge.
No lock-in, ever
Cancel any time. We'll hand over your content and point your domain wherever you ask. No exit fees.

Customer stories
Small businesses, properly online
I'd been quoted £1,800 for a website. Lumina built ours for nothing and it looks better than the quote did. The £1.99 a month feels almost too fair.
Went from a Facebook page to a proper site with online booking in a week. Customers keep telling me how easy it is to find our opening hours now.
When we changed our menu they updated the site the same afternoon, at no charge. Three years in and it still costs a fiver a month. Astonishing.
FAQ
Fair questions, straight answers
How can the build really be free?
We host hundreds of sites on modern edge infrastructure, so each one costs us pennies to run. The £1.99 monthly hosting comfortably covers our costs over time — we don't need to charge for the build, and we only profit if you stay because you're happy.
What does the £1.99 a month actually cover?
Hosting on a fast global network, your SSL certificate, daily backups, security updates and small content edits (opening hours, prices, photos). It's flat — it never goes up because your site gets more visitors.
Do I have to buy a domain from you?
No. If you already own a domain we'll connect it for free. If you'd like a new one, we register it at cost plus a small markup and quote the exact price — including renewals — before you commit. The domain is registered in your name, so it's yours.
What happens if I cancel?
You stop paying, we take the site down, and we send you your content and images. If you own your domain you can point it anywhere you like. There are no exit fees and no minimum term.
What kind of sites do you build?
Brochure-style sites of up to five pages: home, about, services or menu, gallery and contact. Perfect for cafés, trades, salons, studios and clinics. We don't build online shops or web apps — we'd rather do one thing brilliantly.
