Switching from Yell

Paying Yell for a website? Own the next one.

A Yell website is built and hosted on Yell’s platform, on a contract. The question is what you own when the contract ends. With us the answer is everything, from day one.

The honest picture

What you have today

A site on their platform

The site sits on Yell’s system and is edited through it. Leave, and it comes down; what you take with you depends on the contract you signed.

A term, then another

Tradespeople report contracts that run for a fixed term and renew. The price and the length are in the paperwork, not on the site.

A listing next to a website

Yell is also a directory. The website and the listing come as a bundle, and the listing sits beside your competitors’ listings.

With a site you own

What changes

1

Your domain, in your name

The domain is registered to you from day one and everything on the site exports in one click. No company stands between you and your own customers.

2

Export everything in one click

Every page, image and word on the site can be exported from your dashboard whenever you like. The site is yours, not a licence to use ours.

3

No day offline in the move

Your current site keeps running until the new one is checked and switched over. The move happens on your timetable, not the contract’s.

4

One fixed price, whatever comes in

The plan is one price a month with no fee per lead and no minimum term. Fifty enquiries cost the same as five.

What does not change

If you are inside a Yell term, the switch waits for it. We build the site, you see it before you pay, and it goes live the week the term ends, so there is never a month paying twice and never a day with no website. The Yell listing is separate from the website, and you can keep it if it earns its keep.

One price, nothing to look after

£49 a month plus VAT: build, hosting, SSL, backups, security updates and uptime monitoring, all included. No setup fee, no minimum term, no fee per enquiry.

No setup fee, ever — and you own the domain, site, content and reviews from day one.

Straight answers

Questions people ask before switching

Can I leave Yell before my contract ends?

That is a question for the contract you signed, and we do not pretend to know its terms. What we can do is have the new site built, checked and ready, so the day the term ends is the day it goes live.

Will I lose my Yell listing?

The listing is separate from the website and you can keep it if it earns its keep. The website is the part that should be yours.

Do I own the new site?

Yes. The domain is registered in your name, the site and its content export in one click, and there is no minimum term. If you ever leave, it all goes with you.

What does the website cost?

£49 a month plus VAT, with no setup fee, no minimum term and no fee per enquiry. That covers the build, hosting, SSL, backups, security updates and uptime monitoring. Before you pay anything, we rebuild your homepage free so you can judge the work first.
