Professional Website
A completely bespoke website designed specifically for your business, customers and goals.
We are helping five local businesses grow online with a professionally designed website package, including five bespoke pages, a first-year domain and secure hosting for just £10 per month.
Limited to five selected businesses. Website must remain active for a minimum of 12 months. Additional pages, advanced SEO and extra features are available separately.
Professionally designed, mobile-friendly and built to help local customers find you online.
Every week we speak to local business owners who know their website is holding them back. Some have outdated websites built years ago, while others rely entirely on social media because they simply can't justify investing thousands of pounds into a professional website.
We believe every hardworking business deserves the opportunity to present themselves professionally online. A modern website helps customers build trust, discover your services and contact you with confidence.
That's why we've launched the Swarming Bee Small Business Growth Initiative 2026. We're investing our own time and expertise to help five Lincolnshire businesses build a stronger online presence through professional web design.
We've tried to answer every question before you apply. Select a tab below to learn more about what's included, who can apply and how the initiative works.
Every selected business will receive a professionally designed website package built using modern WordPress technology and responsive design principles.
This initiative is open to Lincolnshire businesses that would benefit from a professional website but may not be ready to invest in a full upfront website package.
We have kept the process simple. Apply online, tell us about your business, and if selected, we will arrange a planning call before designing and launching your new website.
The website design package is provided free to selected businesses. The only required monthly cost is £10 per month for hosting and website management.
