Studio by TC builds websites that help small businesses grow. A real, custom site — the kind an agency would charge thousands for — for £140 to build, £7/month after. Own it outright anytime for £195.
If people can only find you at the next market — or by scrolling back through old Instagram posts — you're losing sales in between visits. Here's how most people try to fix that, and why we built a third way.
£1,000s up front, then a retainer to change a phone number — for a site that's often still a template underneath. Built for companies with a marketing budget, not a side hustle.
You're still building it yourself. Add booking, bundles or a proper form and the £20 on the tin becomes £50–100 a month — forever, even once it's paid for itself.
We build and tailor a real website around your business: £140 to build, £7 a month if you'd like us to keep it running, £195 to own it outright whenever you choose. No cut of your sales.
On the left, what a DIY builder's template leaves you with. On the right, the same business built properly. Drag the handle.


Both are mock-ups of an invented bakery, made to show the difference — not a real client's site.
We build real, custom websites for small businesses at a fraction of what an agency charges. Here's honestly how the three routes compare — then drag the slider underneath to run your own numbers.
Drag the months and watch the gap between the two bars open up. A big agency would typically start at £1,500+ one-off, on top of either.
Studio by TC is £140 to build plus £7 a month. And unlike renting from a builder, you can own the site outright whenever you're ready.
My wife started a small side hustle, selling at pop-up markets to get her name out there. It worked on the day — but a market stall alone doesn't bring people back. What does is somewhere they can find you afterwards, see what you sell, and order again without waiting for the next market.
So we looked at the mainstream builders. The advertised price looked fine — until the booking app, the bundle app, and the cut on every sale crept it past £50–100 a month. We built our own instead: fully custom, able to take payments, add new products, and run sales, without any of that creep. It's still the site we run today — you'll see it further down the page.
No deposit to get started. We show you a free mock-up shaped around your business first — the finer details and any specific requirements get refined together once you've paid the £140 and we're building your finished site.
We learn about your business, customers and goals — and show you a free mock-up before anything's due.
The mock-up becomes the finished site: your words, your colours, the pages you actually need, refined together.
We launch it on your domain, checked on every phone and tuned to load fast — and keep it running for you.
Our first project was our own — my wife's handmade candle business, run in her spare time alongside a full-time job. No time to manage a store platform on top of everything else, so we built her a fully custom site: real online ordering, product bundles with their own automatic pricing rules, and a soft-launch pricing system she updates herself for sales — the kind of custom logic an agency would usually charge thousands for. It's still live today, and it's the first card below.
Since then: a booking directory that's live today, and a few concepts we've built to show a local business what it could have — they're not clients, and they're marked as such. Not everything needs a shop, either. A simpler one-page site — story, gallery, an enquiry or RSVP form — gets the same care at a fraction of the cost; tell us what you need and we'll quote it properly rather than guessing.

The £7/month covers hosting, security updates, and small day-to-day tweaks. Here's exactly where that line sits:
A simple admin area — page views, orders and sales updated live, plus prices, reviews and discount codes you can change yourself — is one of the most requested add-ons. Here's what it looks like in practice, from a site we built and run ourselves. Hover to pause, clickTap any screen to enlarge.

A one-time £195 fee gets you the actual code — standard, portable web code, not a proprietary page-builder — handed over and set up under your own hosting and domain, whenever you're ready, whether that's on day one or years in. The £7/month covers hosting and support as you go rather than a balance toward ownership, so the £195 is the same either way. Buying outright from day one comes to £335 total (£140 to build + £195 to hand over), with no monthly fee after. It's your business — you should always be able to own what you've built, not just rent it forever.
This is built for single-location small businesses, not big multi-currency catalogues — more on who it's (and isn't) for.
