Your business is better than its website.
Noven designs, builds and looks after websites for local businesses that have outgrown theirs — for a fixed £49.99/month, no big bill upfront.
If you're reading this, there's a good chance you didn't come looking for it. You were sent a link — probably with your own website already redesigned inside it — and you're here to work out whether that was real.
It was. I build genuinely good websites for local businesses, and every so often I put one together on spec, unpaid, just to show what's possible. This site was built exactly the same way yours would be.
The gallery is being filled, honestly.
Concept redesigns and real outreach mockups will sit here as they're finished — labelled for exactly what they are. If you'd like to see one built for your own business first, that's the free mockup below.

Most web agencies charge thousands upfront because they carry agency overheads: offices, sales teams, account managers and project layers. Noven is intentionally lean. You work directly with one person, using a focused process and modern tools, to build and look after a small number of sites properly. That’s what makes a fair fixed monthly fee possible — not a discount on the standard of the work.
Design
A site designed specifically for your business — not a template with your logo dropped in.
Build
Built properly and built fast, so it works for the people finding you as much as the people you send it to.
Hosting
Fast, secure hosting included every month — nothing separate to set up or pay for.
Maintenance
Kept working, kept current and looked after month to month — not left to rot the way the last one was.
For ten years I worked in freight forwarding — moving other people's cargo around the world, mostly on the phone, mostly under pressure. I got good at explaining complicated things simply, and at making promises I could actually keep.
A few years ago I taught myself to design and build websites properly, and started doing it for established service businesses — companies with real customers, real reputations, and websites that no longer reflected the quality of the work behind them.
That is who Noven is built for: businesses that are already trusted offline, but need an online presence that feels just as credible, current, and considered.
I reply personally, usually within a day.

Your domain and everything that’s yours — your words, your photos, your branding — belong to you from day one. While you’re a Noven customer, I design, build, host and maintain the site for your monthly fee, and there’s no long minimum term: you can cancel any time with 30 days’ notice. The build itself — the design, code and technical setup — stays part of the managed service rather than being handed over as a working copy when you leave, but if you’d like to take the site elsewhere, I can arrange a release for a separate one-off fee, agreed upfront.
Noven is one person by design, not by accident. You get a named local person who answers personally, not a ticket queue. Hosting runs on stable, managed infrastructure that keeps your site online regardless of what I’m doing that day, and your domain and business content are always yours — so you’re never left without options if you ever needed to make other arrangements.
I’ll reply personally, usually within a day. If it looks like a good fit, I’ll put together a free mockup of what your new site could look like — no obligation. If you like it, we’ll build it properly and get it live. If you don’t, that’s the end of it, no cost and no hard feelings.
