What is RentaSite?
RentaSite is Healthy Pixels‘ newest service package, and is a unique website service available to startups in their first year of business. In its simplest form, it gives startups a chance to get a professionally-built website without the upfront cost. We’ll sort out the design and development, buy your domain and hosting, and we’ll maintain the site, ensuring it’s up-to-date, backed-up and secure.
How does it work?
The reason we’re able to offer RentaSite at a low monthly price is that you choose from a set of pre-defined templates and layouts. After defining your website needs, we’ll select a plan and choose your page structure. You’ll have 3 designs presented to you for each layout, and we’ll have variations available for each of those, so you can, for example, choose whether you want sharp or rounded corners.
We’ll of course integrate your colours and visual style, and logo if you have one. If you don’t have this already, we’re happy to support with our grow-as-you-go branding for startups.
Background
RentaSite was built on personal experience of being a startup and really feeling the struggle of watching finances and bank accounts dip and spike all over the place. Healthy Pixels has always focused on purpose and giving back, and RentaSite is one way of doing so.
With this service, we get to support startups as they grow, ensuring they have what they need to get their business online while benefiting from professional support.
Is RentaSite for me?
While there are no restrictions in industry, RentaSite is intended for:
- Businesses still in their first year
- Those needing a basic web presence
- Those who do not yet have strong branding
It’s generally a good solution if the focus in your first year is not on SEO or using your website as your main selling or booking platform. Business types that could particularly benefit from the package include personal trainers, coaches, solicitors, brokers, mental health practitioners and trades.
It is not always the best solution for:
- Businesses beyond their first year
- Those needing a more bespoke website solution

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Should you ever wish to change to full ownership, you can buy it anytime. The price will be based on the site’s current value.
When you buy a website, you’ll normally pay for the full website upfront, or in two instalments. You then get full ownership of the site, and the sky’s essentially the limit. At Healthy Pixels, this option generally allows more creativity and freedom when implementing your branding, ensuring the website fully speaks of you.
When renting a website, however, Healthy Pixels remains the owner unless you choose to buy the site. We’ll keep your site on our servers, ensuring it’s up to date.
As long as you rent the website, the site itself (design, build and domain) belongs to Healthy Pixels.
If you provided branded assets and other visuals, you will of course remain the owner of these, and can use them as and where you like. Where Healthy Pixels provided visuals, please note these might have been sourced from sites from which a licence is needed. If you wish to use these images elsewhere, please speak with your account manager.
Should you ever choose to buy the website (as opposed to renting it), full ownership will be transferred to you.
