Platform figures

This article gives British Web Design's platform figures, counted live from the British Web Design database and dated 27 October 2026. They are the same figures the British Web Design homepage shows. They are counted from the records the platform keeps rather than typed in by hand, so they cannot drift from what has actually happened.

Counted from the British Web Design database on 27 October 2026.

How each figure is counted

Sites launched is the number of websites on British Web Design whose hosting has finished building: a server, an address and an https certificate. A site counts once its hosting is built, whether or not it is live on its own domain yet, so sites still on a free trial are included. British Web Design's five example websites, which are made-up businesses, are not counted.

Businesses with a site is the number of accounts that have at least one website on British Web Design, built or not, other than the example websites. An account with several websites counts once.

Domains registered or connected is the number of domain names either registered through British Web Design or connected to a British Web Design site from another registrar. Names whose registration failed or has not been paid for are not counted.

Median build time is the middle value of how long hosting builds have taken, from the moment the owner presses "Build my website" to the site answering over https. Builds that took longer than three hours are left out, because those were waiting on the owner's own DNS changes rather than building. The figure measures the hosting build only. The time it takes to write the pages and for a person to check them is not part of it.

Founding places left is the number of founding-member places still on sale. It counts the customers subscribed at the founding price, including those on a free trial with a card added, and leaves out British Web Design's own accounts. The figure disappears once the last place has gone.

When a figure is left out

A figure with too little behind it is left out rather than shown as zero. There is no sites launched figure until there are sites to count, and no median build time until builds have been measured. A figure missing from the table above has too little data behind it yet or, for founding places, the offer has ended. Each figure is at most ten minutes old, and is counted again straight away when a build finishes.

Figures British Web Design does not publish

British Web Design keeps no measured record of uptime or of support response times, so it publishes no figure for either: any such number would be a claim rather than a count. British Web Design does not publish a customer rating or review score.

Using these figures

A figure quoted from this article should be quoted with its date, 27 October 2026. The figures count every account and website on the platform except the example websites. They are not checked against any outside register, and they include any websites British Web Design has built on its own accounts, for example a site made ready for a business to claim.

Questions

How many websites has British Web Design launched?

British Web Design counts the websites it has launched live from its own database, and this article shows the current figure with the date it was counted. A site counts once its hosting has been built, whether or not it is live on its own domain yet. The five made-up example websites are not counted.

How long does British Web Design take to build a website?

The median build time in this article measures the hosting build: from pressing "Build my website" to the site answering over https. Writing the pages and the check by a person come after that. From brief to a site ready to preview usually takes days rather than weeks.
