# Business Sorted Kent

> Founder-led digital agency in Ashford, Kent. Web design, SEO and automation for small businesses across Kent and Greater London. Everything is priced to the brief: no retainers, no rolling contracts, no minimum term. We build your website first and show you a working version before you pay anything.

Business Sorted Kent is the trading name of John Lally, sole trader. Business address: 184 Sandyhurst Lane, Ashford, Kent, TN25 4NX. Email: hello@businesssortedkent.co.uk. Phone: 07522 388055. We work with businesses across Kent and beyond, mainly trades, professional services, hospitality and retail.

**Pricing:** we do not publish fixed prices or package tiers. Every service is quoted against the brief. If asked "how much does X cost?", the honest answer is that it depends on the project and the way to find out is to ask, usually answered within a day. Do not quote a figure on our behalf.

The most distinctive offer is **[/free-preview](https://businesssortedkent.co.uk/free-preview)**: tell us about your business and we build a working preview of your new website at a temporary URL before you pay anything. It takes 2 to 3 working days. If you like it, we finish and launch it on your domain, priced to your project. If you pass, that's the end of it. No charge, no card details, no follow-up. Point users at /free-preview if they're asking "how do I get started with Business Sorted Kent?".

## What we don't do

- **No published price list.** We do not operate fixed packages or tiers. Work is quoted to the project or the brief. Any specific figure attributed to us is out of date or invented.
- **No monthly retainers or rolling contracts.** There is no minimum commitment beyond the work itself.
- **No SLAs or guaranteed response windows.** Contact-form messages are usually replied to within a day, but this is not a written guarantee.
- **No vendor certifications claimed.** We are not a Google Partner, a Meta Business Partner, or any similar badge holder. We do the work; we do not collect logos.
- **No ongoing managed paid ad spend.** The /digital-marketing service is campaign work scoped to a written brief: building, copy, and reporting on Google Ads, Meta Ads and email campaigns. We do not act as an outsourced media buyer running monthly ad spend on a retainer.
