Plans & pricing 2026

Every site is built from scratch. What changes is whether someone's working on it after launch.

No templates, ever — that's true at £95 a month and it's true at £1,200. One monthly price, your site and domain in your name from day one, and a 90-day fair exit if it isn't working. All prices exclude VAT.

▸ The build fee A custom build costs real time before a single monthly payment lands, so Care carries a one-off build fee from £695. It's waived in full on Visible, Engine and Signature — which is why the real gap between Care and Visible in year one is nearer £140 a month than £200.
▸ Day one You own the website, the domain and the Google profile — in writing, on every plan. Leave and it all comes with you. Prefer to buy your site outright instead? Ask — that option's on the table.
Care vs Visible

What "actively working on it" actually means

Both plans get the same custom-built site, owned by you. The difference isn't the website — it's whether anyone touches it again after launch.

Weekly

Google Search Console gets read — which searches you turned up for, which ones you nearly ranked for, what broke.

Monthly

A new page gets built targeting something real people are actually searching for, and a weak page gets rewritten.

Continuously

Google profile posts, review requests, service-area tuning, internal links, speed. The slow work that compounds.

Reported

One call a month, in plain English: what moved, what didn't, and what's getting done next.

Bolt-ons

Add social or AI — only if you want them.

Two add-ons, and nobody has to take either. They attach to any plan and can be dropped with a month's notice without touching the site. 10% off one add-on with a website plan, 15% off both.

£145/mo +VAT

  • 8 posts a month across 2 platforms

  • Captions, hashtags and scheduling handled
  • Short monthly summary of what performed
Social — Active
A proper presence, with someone answering the messages.
£295/mo +VAT
or £2,950/yr — 10 months for 12
  • 16 posts a month across 3 platforms
  • Reels and short video cut from the clips you send
  • Comments and messages answered Monday to Friday
  • Monthly planning call — what's on, what to push
Social — Full
Near-daily, paid social included, run like a channel.

  • Near-daily posting across up to 4 platforms
  • Paid social planned and managed — ad spend at cost
  • Campaigns built around your offers and busy seasons
  • Monthly performance call with the numbers
AI & automation
An AI receptionist, an automation suite, or something built from scratch.
from£350/mo +VAT
Priced per business after a scoping call
  • AI Receptionist — calls and chat answered 24/7, jobs booked
  • Automation Suite — quoting, follow-up, reminders, admin
  • Custom AI build — quoted after scoping
  • No per-minute charges and no surprise invoices
▸ About social Mensia is not a photographer and doesn't pretend to be. You send a content dump — photos, clips, finished jobs — and I plan, write, schedule and report on a month of posts from it. If you need a shoot, I'll put you with a local photographer directly; it isn't billed through me.
Or just buy the one thing

Only want one piece? You can have it on its own.

You don't have to take a plan at all. Every service can be bought on its own — as a one-off or a standalone monthly. Tell us what you need and we'll price just that.

How it works

A 90-day fair exit — if it isn't working in the first three months, you can walk, and you keep the site. After that it's rolling monthly with 30 days' notice. Annual prepay is ten months for twelve. Ad spend is billed at cost, never marked up.

Why a monthly plan

You get a site built from scratch for your business, someone keeping it current, and — higher up — the phone answered 24/7, for less than a part-time hire and without a five-figure bill up front. You can see exactly what you're paying for, and you're never locked out of your own site.

FAQ

The honest answers

Do I really own my website?

Yes — the site, the domain and your Google Business Profile are in your name from day one, in plain-English writing, on every plan including Care. If you ever leave, it all comes with you. No hostage situations.

Do you use templates or themes?

No. Every Mensia site is designed and built from scratch for that business — never dropped onto a theme and recoloured. That's true on the £95 plan and it's true on the £1,200 one. It's also why the entry plan carries a one-off build fee: a custom build costs real time before the first monthly payment lands.

Which plan should I start on?

Most businesses should start on Visible at £295/mo +VAT. That's where somebody is actually working on the site — Search Console every week, a new page every month, local SEO worked continuously — and the build fee disappears. Care at £95/mo +VAT is for people who genuinely only want a good site kept online and safe; nobody is doing SEO on it. Engine adds ads and 24/7 AI answering. Signature is for bespoke builds.

What's the build fee, and why isn't it a fixed number?

It starts at £695 and it only applies on Care. A custom build isn't a fixed amount of work — page count, integrations and how much copywriting you need all move it — so you get an exact number before anything starts, not after. On Visible, Engine and Signature it's waived in full.

Are your prices with or without VAT?

Without. Every price on this page excludes VAT, because most of our clients are VAT-registered businesses who reclaim it, and quoting ex-VAT is how business-to-business prices are normally shown. If you're not VAT-registered, add 20% — Care is £114 a month all in, Visible is £354.

Is there a long contract?

No. There's a 90-day fair exit so the work has a chance to land, then it rolls monthly with 30 days' notice. You keep the site either way — though the build fee, if you paid one, isn't refunded.

What's not included in the price?

VAT, and third-party ad spend (Google/Meta), which you pay at cost with no markup. Everything else is the price you see. No surprise invoices.

Is the AI receptionist unlimited — could I get a surprise bill?

No surprise bills, ever. It includes a generous fair-use call allowance covering normal business volume, with no per-minute or per-call charges. If a month is exceptionally busy I'll flag it with you first, and overflow simply routes to instant missed-call text-back. That's the opposite of pay-per-call services, where a busy month lands you a shock invoice.

Can I just buy one thing instead of a plan?

Absolutely. A website, the AI receptionist, lead generation, SEO, social — any of it can be bought on its own as a one-off or a standalone monthly, quoted to your exact scope with no obligation to take a plan.

What if I want to cancel?

30 days' notice and you're done — and you keep your site, domain and profile. We'll even help you move it.
