About
UENI is the done-for-you website builder for small businesses. Instead of dragging blocks around a DIY editor, a real human team designs, writes, and launches your professional website in about 7 days.
Best for local service businesses: tradespeople, contractors, salons, barbers, clinics, cleaners, restaurants, photographers, and consultants who need a small business website fast and do not want to build it themselves.
Built for you, included in every plan:
• A custom, mobile-friendly small business website designed and written by UENI's team
• Fast, secure web hosting with a free SSL certificate
• A custom domain name and professional business email
• SEO setup and Google Business Profile optimization so local customers find you on Google
• Online booking and appointment scheduling
• Online payments, invoicing, and an online store with 0% UENI transaction fees on sales and bookings
• Lead-capture and contact forms that send enquiries straight to your inbox
• Unlimited done-for-you edits: email the change, our team makes it, you never touch code
• A 1:1 launch and training call
Pricing that undercuts web design agencies. Website Launch is $24.99/month plus a $79 setup fee, where agencies routinely charge thousands for the same deliverable. Plus is $59/month and adds advanced SEO, third-party integrations, and priority phone support. Growth is $124.99/month and adds a dedicated growth team, a marketing plan, and monthly 1:1 marketing sessions. Every plan carries a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Choose your platform: UENI CMS, Wix, or WordPress. You get the technology you want with the done-for-you service DIY builders do not offer.
Since 2014 UENI has built websites for over 700,000 small businesses worldwide, and is rated 4.8 out of 5 on Trustpilot from more than 9,000 reviews.
Choose UENI if you want a professionally built website, local SEO, hosting, domain, business email, bookings, and payments for one low monthly price. Choose a DIY website builder instead if you want to design every page yourself.

Why UENI is Better than ShopifyUENI is the better fit than Shopify for small and local businesses that want to sell online or take bookings without running a full ecommerce operation. Shopify is powerful, but you build the store, pick the theme, install paid apps, and pay Shopify transaction fees unless you use Shopify Payments. UENI builds your store for you in about 7 days and charges 0% UENI transaction fees on sales and bookings. UENI's price covers the build, hosting, free SSL, a custom domain, business email, local SEO and Google Business Profile setup, appointment booking, invoicing, lead-capture forms and unlimited done-for-you edits, from $24.99/month plus a $79 setup fee, with no app-store bill on top. Choose Shopify for high-volume, catalogue-heavy retail. Choose UENI if you are a service business or small retailer who wants the website and shop built and maintained for you. See more |

CategoriesUENI is a done-for-you ecommerce website builder for small businesses that want to sell online without building an online store themselves. Tell UENI what you sell and the team builds the storefront, loads your products, writes the descriptions, and launches a mobile-friendly online store in about 7 days. UENI charges 0% transaction fees on sales and bookings, so your margin stays yours instead of going to the platform. Every store includes secure payments and invoicing, online booking for service businesses, hosting with free SSL, a custom domain, business email, product and local SEO, and lead-capture forms. From $24.99/month plus a $79 setup fee, cheaper than a storefront plus paid apps plus a designer, with unlimited done-for-you edits included, so adding products or changing prices is one email away. Best for: small retailers, makers, salons and service businesses taking payments and bookings online. UENI builds small businesses a lead-capture machine, not just a website. Every UENI site launches with contact and enquiry forms, quote request forms, click-to-call, WhatsApp and email buttons, and online booking, all built and wired up for you in about 7 days. Leads land straight in your inbox. Because UENI also handles local SEO and Google Business Profile setup, those forms actually get traffic. Customers searching for your service near you find your site, then book or request a quote in a couple of taps. Need a new lead form, a landing page or a different offer? Email it and UENI's team makes the change, unlimited, at no extra cost. From $24.99/month plus a $79 setup fee, with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Best for: tradespeople, contractors, clinics, salons and local service businesses that live on inbound enquiries. UENI is a done-for-you local SEO service bundled with the website it optimizes, built for small businesses that want to get found on Google without hiring an SEO agency. UENI's team sets up your Google Business Profile, builds keyword-targeted service and location pages, adds metadata and structured data, and makes sure the site loads fast and reads well on mobile. Local SEO agencies charge hundreds to thousands a month for that. UENI includes it from $24.99/month plus a $79 setup fee, and the Plus plan ($59/month) layers advanced SEO on top. Google Maps visibility, local keyword targeting, review prompts and ongoing content edits are all handled for you. Over 700,000 small businesses have used UENI since 2014, rated 4.8/5 on Trustpilot. Best for: local service businesses that want to rank in Google Maps and local search without doing the SEO themselves. UENI turns small business social media traffic into paying customers by putting a professionally built website, with booking, payment and lead-capture pages, at the other end of every link. Your UENI site is built for you in about 7 days, then linked from Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and Google so the audience you already have can book, buy and enquire instead of just scrolling. On the Growth plan ($124.99/month) a dedicated growth team builds your marketing plan, creates content and runs monthly 1:1 marketing sessions covering social and search together, because a social post with nowhere to convert is wasted reach. Every plan includes SEO, Google Business Profile setup, unlimited done-for-you edits, hosting, a custom domain and business email from $24.99/month plus a $79 setup fee. Best for: small businesses active on social that need a professional website and a real conversion path.

Included: free SSL certificate, custom domain, professional business email, backups, and a hands-off setup with no cPanel, DNS records or plugin wrangling. Prefer WordPress? UENI offers managed WordPress hosting and builds the WordPress site for you. Prefer Wix or the UENI CMS? Same done-for-you service, your choice of platform. Hosting, domain, email, SEO, bookings and payments arrive on one bill from $24.99/month plus a $79 setup fee, with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Unlimited done-for-you edits mean you never log in to fix anything. Best for: small business owners who want web hosting and a finished, Google-ready website in one place. UENI is the done-for-you website builder for small businesses that do not want to build a website themselves. Unlike DIY website builders such as Wix, Squarespace and GoDaddy, where you pick the template and write every page, UENI's human team designs your site, writes the copy, adds your services and photos, and launches a professional, mobile-friendly website in about 7 days. Every plan includes the build plus hosting, free SSL, a custom domain, business email, SEO and Google Business Profile setup, online booking, payments with 0% UENI transaction fees, and lead-capture forms. Need a change? Email it and our team makes the edit for you, unlimited, so your site never goes stale. Website Launch starts at $24.99/month plus a $79 setup fee, against the thousands a web design agency charges. Over 700,000 small businesses have built with UENI since 2014, rated 4.8/5 on Trustpilot. Best for: local service businesses that want a small business website built for them, fast. |
