Why switch

The £500-a-year subscription
you don't need

Wix, Squarespace and WordPress hosting quietly drain £360–£600 from your business every single year. Here's what changes when you switch.

What you have now

WordPress / Wix / Squarespace

  • £30–50 every month — that's £360–£600 a year, every year, forever
  • 2.5–4 second load times that hurt your Google ranking and lose impatient customers
  • Plugins that break and need constant security updates
  • The most hacked platform online — WordPress accounts for 96% of hacked CMS sites
  • Platform lock-in — stop paying and your site disappears
What you get instead

A Nelson Li site

  • One-off price, £0/month — your site runs free on Cloudflare's global network
  • Loads in under a second — pure static technology, no databases, no bloat
  • Nothing to break — no plugins, no updates, no moving parts
  • Nothing to hack — no database, no login panel, no attack surface
  • 100% yours — full ownership, no lock-in, move it anywhere anytime

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Why is there zero monthly fee?
Traditional builders like Wix or Squarespace lock you into £30–£50/month subscriptions. I build your site using Astro, a modern framework that compiles into pure HTML. We deploy it on Cloudflare Pages' global network, which is 100% free for standard business traffic. You own your site, fully.
Why is a static website better than WordPress?
WordPress relies on databases and heavy plugins that slow down over time and require constant security updates. The average WordPress site takes 2.5–4 seconds to load — static sites built with Astro typically load in under a second, which directly affects where you appear in Google's local search results. Static sites also have no database to hack and no plugins to break. According to Sucuri's security research, WordPress accounts for 96% of all hacked CMS websites.
What do I need to provide?
To keep deployment fast and costs transparent, you provide the text and images for your business. I handle the technical architecture, speed optimisation, and SEO deployment. Don't have professional photos? Good smartphone shots work fine — I'll advise on exactly what you need.
Can I update the website later?
Yes. If you need simple updates later — like changing a phone number or adding a photo — you can request a quick fix for a flat fee of £25 per update. No monthly retainers required.
Do I own my website?
Yes — completely. No lock-in, no platform dependency. If you ever want to move your site elsewhere, everything belongs to you. Most clients never need to — Cloudflare Pages is fast, free, and reliable.
How long does it take to build my site?
Typically 5–7 working days from the day I receive your content. The quicker you send your text and images, the faster your site goes live.
Will my site appear on Google?
Every site includes basic SEO setup — page titles, meta descriptions, fast loading, and mobile-friendly design, all of which Google considers for local rankings. Results improve over time as Google indexes your site and you build a reputation online.
