Connected Pathways
A plain breakdown of the only things you'll pay for once your site is live. Most of it is free — the rest is small and predictable.
The two things you genuinely have to pay for.
| What | Cost | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Web address (domain) | ~£10–12 / year | Your .co.uk name, e.g. velmabennett.co.uk |
| ICO data-protection fee | ~£40–60 / year | Legally required because you handle client information. You register once and renew yearly. |
→ Baseline: roughly £55–70 a year — about £5 a month.
| What | Cost | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Zoom Pro | ~£12 / month | Free Zoom cuts calls off at 40 minutes; Pro lets you run full 50-minute sessions. |
You only need this if you see clients online. In-person only? You can skip it.
These run on free plans that comfortably cover a practice your size.
| What | Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Website hosting | Free | Hosted on Cloudflare Pages |
| Booking calendar | Free | Cal.com — clients book themselves |
| Contact-form emails | Free | Enquiries land straight in your inbox |
| Email forwarding | Free | e.g. hello@yourname forwards to you |
| What | Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Stripe | 1.5% + 20p per payment |
No monthly fee. Stripe only takes a small cut each time a client pays — e.g. on a £60 session, about £1.10. |
About £5/month keeps your website and data registration live.
+ about £12/month if you want Zoom for online sessions.
Card payments just take a small cut — no monthly cost.
Worst case, everything on: ~£200/year (~£16/month)Your domain, Stripe, Zoom and ICO registration are all set up under you, not Tailored Tools. You own your business outright, nothing is locked to us, and you stay fully in control — which is the whole point of teaching you to edit it yourself.
