What affects website cost?

Page count and structure

A one-page site is quicker to build than several pages with service sections and FAQs.

Copy and positioning

Cheap sites expect you to write the words. Better builds write them for you.

Lead-generation setup

Forms, quote questions and click-to-call decide how many enquiries you get, and how good they are.

Support after launch

Some quotes cover the build only. Others include edits and updates so the site doesn't go stale.

Why £399 and not £99 or £1,599?

DIY builders at the low end

Cheaper on paper, but you write the words, plan the pages and work out how it brings in enquiries.

Fixed-price builds in the middle

A professional site live quickly, without paying for an agency's process.

Agencies at the higher end

More meetings and more layers. Right for big projects, often too much for a local business.

5-star review

"The website turned out exactly how I wanted — professional, clean, easy to use, and built to a very high standard. Communication was spot on throughout, everything was handled efficiently, and nothing was too much trouble. Really happy with the final result and would highly recommend to anyone needing a quality website built properly."

FAQ

How much does a small business website cost in the UK?

For local service businesses in the UK, fixed-price websites often start at £399, with many brochure or lead-generation builds landing between £399 and £799. Larger launch packages with brand, CMS, and setup work can cost more.

How long does a website take to build?

Most projects are drafted in 3 to 5 days and launched in under a week after approval.

Why are some websites £99 and others £1,599 or more?

The difference usually comes from scope, copywriting, number of pages, lead-generation setup, and how much strategy is built into the page structure.

Are there hidden costs?

No. Scope is agreed before work starts, so pricing is clear before build. After launch, the only ongoing costs are your domain name renewal and, if you want us to host and update the site, the optional Looked After plan at £49/month.

What does the £49/month Looked After plan include?

Fast hosting, SSL, security and backups, plus up to 30 minutes of content changes a month, like updating text, photos, prices, opening hours or minor design tweaks. Unused time doesn't roll over to the next month. Fixes are covered by the plan if something stops working. You get replies within 24 hours on working days by email or WhatsApp (longer during busy periods), and a staging copy to preview changes before they go live. Bigger layout or design changes are quoted before we start. It's monthly rolling, so you can cancel any time.

How quickly do you fix problems on the Looked After plan?

We reply to every message within 24 hours on working days, though replies may take longer during busy periods. If an important web form or core feature stops working, we aim to fix it within 2-3 business days. Fixes are covered by the plan and don't use your 30 minutes of monthly changes. Everyday changes, like text updates, minor design tweaks or non-urgent questions, we aim to finish within 3-5 business days.

Do I have to host my website with you?

No. You can host it elsewhere if you prefer, though Looked After is the easy option. If you leave, you keep your site and domain. Your domain is best registered in your name. If you'd rather not deal with it, we can register and manage it for you for an extra fee.
