Spotted a “copy” of your website? Don’t panic yet! 🕵️

More businesses are finding cloned versions of their site popping up online more than ever.

Same logo. Same wording. Same photos.

All designed to trick customers into handing over money or personal details.

The good news is this: in most cases your real website hasn’t been hacked. It’s been scraped and copied.

In our latest blog, we walk through what to do if someone clones your website or pretends to be your business, including:

✅ How to quickly check your real site is safe
✅ Who to report the fake site to (host, Action Fraud, Google and more)
✅ What to say to customers so you protect trust, not damage it
✅ Simple ways to tighten security with hosting checks, Cloudflare and stronger logins
✅ How to monitor your brand with tools like Google Alerts and reverse image search
✅ What evidence to keep if things escalate

If your website brings in leads or sales, this is worth a 5–10 minute read before you ever need it.

The Hidden Bill for “Cheap” Websites 💸

What looks like a bargain at first can quietly bleed your budget.

Licences, add-ons, support charges, transaction fees… and the biggest hidden cost of all, staff time spent fixing flaws.

Here’s what that “£500 a year” platform really costs:

✔️ Platform licence: £500
✔️ Plugins & add-ons: £1,200
✔️ Support tickets: £600
✔️ Transaction fees: £1,000
✔️ Staff time: £2,000
✔️ Hosting: £400
✔️ SSL: £100
✔️ Web firewall: £250

Total: £7,070 per year. 😮

That “cheap” platform isn’t so cheap anymore.

👉 Actionable step: Do a 12-month cost audit.
Add up everything - licences, fixes, time. If the extras outweigh the value, it’s time to rethink your setup.

If you have any worried about your "cheap" platform costing more, whilst gaining nothing from it, get in contact!
