Web design Cardiff
Professional website design from a Cardiff studio — designed and built free, live in 72 hours, then run for £39 a month. Hosting, updates and search-engine foundations included, with online booking and an AI receptionist when you want them.
A Cardiff web designer that builds your site free.
Most Cardiff businesses pay £500–£5,000 for a website, wait six weeks, and still end up chasing their web designer for every small change. Studio 72 flips that model: we design and build your website free, get it live within 72 hours, and charge £39 a month to host it, secure it and keep it updated. No build invoice, no lock-in — if it's not winning you work, you can walk away.
We can afford to work this way because a website is the start of what we do, not the end of it. Studio 72 builds its own software — including Bookd, the booking platform — so when you're ready, your site can answer enquiries with an AI receptionist, take bookings around the clock and chase reviews automatically. That's the lead engine, and it's optional. The free website stands on its own.

Questions Cardiff businesses ask us.
How much does web design cost in Cardiff?
Cardiff agencies typically charge anywhere from £500 for a template build to £5,000+ for a bespoke site. Studio 72 works differently: the design and build are free, and you pay £39 a month for us to host, secure and keep the site updated. There's no build invoice and no contract lock-in.
What's the catch with a free website?
There isn't one — the £39/mo running fee is the business model. We'd rather earn a small amount every month for keeping your site fast, secure and up to date than send one big invoice and disappear. If you leave, your content is yours to take.
How quickly can my website be live?
Standard builds go live within 72 hours of our kick-off call. Larger sites — e-commerce, booking systems, bespoke features — get a timeline agreed on the call before we start.
Do I own my website?
Your domain, your content and your brand are always yours. We build and operate the site for you while you're with us — and if you ever want to leave, we hand over your content and point your domain wherever you like.
Is SEO included?
Every site ships with the technical SEO foundations done properly: clean page titles and descriptions, local business schema markup, a sitemap submitted to Google, fast page speed and mobile-first build. Ongoing SEO campaigns and content are available as an add-on.
Can you add online booking or an AI receptionist?
Yes — that's our speciality. We built Bookd, the booking platform, so diaries, deposits and automated reminders are native to what we do. Our AI receptionist answers calls and website chats 24/7 and books jobs straight into your diary.
Do you meet clients in Cardiff?
Yes. Studio 72 is based in Morganstown, Cardiff, and we're happy to meet over coffee anywhere in the city — or keep the whole thing remote if you prefer. Most projects need one 15-minute call to get moving.
I already have a website — can you redesign it?
Absolutely. Most of our clients came to us with a site that looked dated or didn't bring in work. We rebuild it free, keep everything that performs, fix what doesn't, and handle the switchover with no downtime.
Ready for a website that wins you work?
One 15-minute call. We'll scope your site, show you exactly what you'll get, and have it live within 72 hours — free.
