Seed A credible URL for the deck.

A startup website that survives the first click.

For UK founders mid-fundraise or just out of the demo-day photos. £999 to build, £99 a month while the round is open. Real code on the same stack we run Homemove, home.co.uk and homedata.co.uk on — not a Notion doc with a custom font.

Built by the operators behind
Build
£999

One-off build fee. Brief Monday, live Friday afternoon — same week the deck starts circulating to your first ten VCs.

Run
£99 / mo

Hosting, monitoring, security and the constant copy / team / investor-update changes a fundraising company actually needs.

In a fundraise budget
A rounding error.

Less than most founders spend on travel during a single fundraise. Less than a single legal call-down. The cheapest investable artefact you will ship this quarter.

Brief us
Why this shape

The first investor click matters more than the deck.

A founder spends a fortnight polishing the deck and then sends it to an investor who clicks through to a Carrd page with a stock illustration, an info@-gmail.com contact and a blog post dated nine months ago. The deck was the marketing; the URL is the truth-test. That mismatch costs more meetings than any single deck slide would.

We build the truth-test version. Real domain on the same Laravel + Tailwind stack we use to run Homemove, home.co.uk and homedata.co.uk. Real team page, real product page, real changelog. £999 to build it this week, £99 a month to keep it current while the round is open and the team is changing. We do not pretend the website closes the round; we just stop it being the reason a meeting did not happen.

The investor audit

What an investor scans in the first 90 seconds.

Seven things a VC, angel or programme reviewer actually clicks on when your URL hits their browser. Green flag on the left, red flag on the right.

What they look at
Green flag
Red flag
Team page
Real photos, real names, real LinkedIn links, plausible track record.
Stock illustrations, first-names-only, dead LinkedIn links, no track record visible.
What the company does
A clear one-line answer above the fold, plus a 30-second product explanation.
Jargon, vision statements, no product on the page, "request a demo" with no preview.
Any visible traction
Dated metrics, named customer logos, a launched-on date, a recent changelog or blog post.
Nothing dated, "trusted by" rows that are aspirational, last post nine months ago.
Contact and email
A founders@yourcompany.com address, a real phone or Calendly, a registered company address.
A Gmail address as the public contact, a Google form for first contact, no company address.
Mobile performance
Loads under a second on 4G, no editor runtime on visitor pages, no cookie wall.
Wix loader, 5MB of unused JavaScript, an OneTrust banner that hides the page on mobile.
Domain and infrastructure
A real custom domain, SSL, no platform watermark, professional email on the same domain.
A .notion.site or .carrd.co URL on the deck slide, no SSL, "Powered by Wix" footer.
Broken links and stale copy
Zero 404s, last-updated dates visible, content that matches the current pitch.
One link returns a 404, copy still mentions an old product name, blog froze in Q2 of last year.

None of the seven items individually kills a meeting. Two or three red flags stacked together do — the investor closes the tab thinking "they have not done the basics yet" and the deck never gets re-read. The £999 build buys you all seven green flags by Friday.

What we ship for founders

A fundraise-ready site, not a marketing project.

Live by deck-circulation week

Briefed Monday morning, live by Friday afternoon. Same week the deck starts going to the first ten investors. The URL on slide one of the deck works the moment it ships.

A team page that does the trust-test

Real photos, real LinkedIn, real prior companies, real track record. Designed to pass the 30-second "do these founders look credible" scan, not to win a design award.

Updates as the company changes

A new metric to add. A new hire to feature. A new pitch wedge from last week’s investor meeting. All covered in the £99 / month — not billed by the hour every time you ship a deck update.

Stack acquirers do not flinch at

Laravel + Tailwind + Postgres on infrastructure we run for our own businesses. Clean code, sensible structure, real CI/CD. The diligence engineer who skims it sees a serious team, not a Wix export.

Plays well with the Incubator

If you are inside the Moonlabs Incubator, the site is part of the technical foundation we already deliver — talk to us about how it fits. If you are outside, the flat £999 + £99 / month gives you the same shape.

You own everything from day one

The git repository is yours from the first commit. When you hire a senior engineer at Series A and want the site in-house, the handover is the same morning. No exit fee, no stranded content.

How it works

Brief on Monday. Live before the deck circulates.

01

Brief

Half-hour call. Bring the latest deck if you have one — we read it as the spec. One-page site plan back inside 24 hours, aligned with the pitch you are actually running.

02

Build

Real Laravel + Tailwind site, custom-built against the brand. Staging URL by Wednesday for review, polished and live by Friday afternoon — same week as the first investor sends start going out.

03

Run

£99 / month from launch. New hires, new metrics, new pitch wedges, new blog posts — all covered. Cancel any time, take the repo with you when you hire your first engineer.

Hundreds of unique website designs floating against a moonlit night sky — every one designed to its own brand, none templated.
Designed to spec

A million ways this could look. None of them templates.

Every site we build is designed to spec, branded for one client. No shared theme between brands. No component kit we recycle. Your site won’t look like anyone else’s because nobody else got your brief.

  • Designed to spec. Every page laid out fresh against your brief — not a pre-made template with your logo dropped in.
  • Branded to you. Typography, palette, motion language and component shape all chosen for this brand, not a previous client’s.
  • Yours forever. Code lives in a git repo that is yours from day one. No platform lock-in, no proprietary CMS, no exit fee.
FAQ

The founder questions.

We are pre-revenue. Should we even have a website yet?

Yes — a single, sharp, working page is more credible than a Notion doc or a Carrd link the moment your deck starts circulating. A first investor click that lands on a real domain with a real about page, real team photos and a real product story sets the tone for the next ninety seconds. Pre-revenue is the right time to do this, not the wrong time.

Will the site survive being clicked by ten different angels in one week?

Yes. We host on the same infrastructure we run Homemove, home.co.uk and homedata.co.uk on, with uptime monitoring and a basic WAF in front of it. A ten-VC fundraise blast does not stress the hosting; the site is built to be the first thing a new investor sees, not the bottleneck.

Should we just use Notion / Carrd / a Framer one-pager instead?

For 48 hours, yes — before you have anything else, ship a Notion or Carrd. We are talking about the moment after that: when an angel cohort, a programme, or a fund is genuinely circulating the URL and a notion.so link in the browser tab looks junior. The trade-up is real code on a real domain in one working week, for less than most founders spend on a hackathon weekend.

We are already in the Moonlabs Incubator. Different deal?

Yes — if you are an active Moonlabs Incubator company, the website is built as part of the technical foundation we deliver. Talk to James or Louis about what fits inside the existing commercials (1% tech-for-equity, 10% success fee, £999 commitment fee credited back at round close). This page is for founders outside the incubator who want the same shape of site on a flat fee.

What happens to the website when we raise and grow a team?

The site keeps running on £99 / month or you take the codebase in-house. Most clients keep us through their seed round and only bring the site in-house at the Series A engineering hire. The repo is yours from day one, so the handover when it comes is hours, not weeks.

Will an acquirer or due-diligence team care about the website stack?

A bit, yes — for early-stage acquihires they often skim the codebase to gauge engineering taste, and a Laravel / Tailwind / Postgres stack with clean code reads as serious-engineering by default. Wix or Squarespace pages do not. We do not pretend the website is the reason a deal closes, but we make sure it does not raise eyebrows in the diligence call.
