The concept

RentaSite provides the same quality, benefits and support as buying your website upfront. And because you’ll be working with Healthy Pixels, you’ll benefit from the expertise and dedicated support you wouldn’t get if you chose to DIY your website on builders like SquareSpace or Wix.

No matter your plan, you’ll find all your website needs in one provider:

  • Domain and hosting
  • Design and development
  • Maintenance and updates
  • Security, backups and support

… allowing you to go big with your website from just £40/month!

How RentaSite works

Getting your website online is straight-forward – and easy for you, as we’ll handle all the technicalities.

1

Step

Book a free strategy call

First of all, get in touch by booking in a free call via Calendly.

Please be prepared to share your industry, how long you’ve been in business, and how you (plan to) sell your services/product on this call. We’ll also discuss your site requirements and which RentaSite plan is right for your business.

After this call, if you choose to go ahead, we’ll provide you with a set of website layouts and variations to choose from, to ensure the website feels like your brand.

2

Step

Website content

With your plan and sections selected, we’ll need some specific things from you:

  • Copy/text for each page or section (you’ll be provided with a template)
  • Your brand colours and logo
  • Any imagery you want

If you’re unsure how to do this (or don’t have some or any of it), we can support in all stages for an agreed upon one-off price.

3

Step

Website launch

When the site is ready, typically within 3-5 working days after receiving all website content from you, we’ll purchase your domain, and launch your website.

We’ll keep it updated, secure and safe, supporting with content updates as and when needed.

You can rent the site for long as you like, or, if you ever wish to change to full ownership, you can buy it anytime—your rental fees will be subtracted from the cost of buying the site.

Frequently asked questions

Questions?

RentaSite is great for most companies in their first year of business that will not use their website as their selling platform.

Some examples include:

  • Sole traders
  • Personal trainers
  • Coaches and trainers
  • Solicitors and brokers
  • Mental health practitioners
  • Trades (e.g. plumbers and electricians)

RentaSite is available to those still in their first year of business.

If you sign up during your first year of business, you can keep renting the website for as long as you like, even beyond your first year. Once the site has been fully paid off, you can choose to move the site and domain to your own host, or you can stay with Healthy Pixels at a lower monthly fee, depending on the plan in play.

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.

The RentaSite plans are intended to quickly get a professional website set up. To accomplish this, we’ve got a set of website layouts and variations you can choose from.

Each section will have 3 alternative layouts available, allowing you to choose what best fits your style and goals. The individual layouts available may vary over time, to ensure multiple websites don’t end up using the same formatting.

Additionally, we’ll add your colour palette and logo, choose sharp vs rounded corners, and of course include your visuals and written content. With these unique variations, your website will feel more like you and thereby become more unique.

If you don’t have any branding, Healthy Pixels can support with this. The cheapest option is to include a text-based logo on the site – this will come at no extra cost.

It is recommended, however, that we create a logo and define a strong and unique colour palette for the business. If you choose this, startups benefit from prices starting at £100.3

You’ll have 3 layout options for each section on your site. In addition, we’ll establish a “design pattern” by implementing your fonts, colours, style (e.g. rounded vs sharp corners) and type of visuals.

We’ll ensure the layout adapts well to your content, so if you choose a section with a 3-step approach but need to communicate 4 steps, we’ll of course optimise for this.

It is important to note, however, that the RentaSite layout types generally are a ‘pick and choose’ approach, with certain variations available for each.

RentaSite is not for companies that are intending to use the website as their main selling platform, e.g. as eCommerce or booking sites. These solutions are generally larger and would require a more tailored solution than currently available in the RentaSite plans.

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.

Yes. Should you ever wish to change to full ownership, you can buy it anytime—your rental fees will be subtracted from the cost of buying the site.
