Website design prices:
three packages,
priced in public
Most people in this industry make you ask. Here is what a website costs, what is in each package, and what would be billed on top of it. The price you see is the price you pay.
Basic
650
One-off
Our standard template, fitted to your business and the area you cover.
For a business that wants one solid site doing one job well.
Professional
1000
One-off
A design made for you, worked out together and then built to an agreed shape.
For a business that wants to be found for several different things.
Sky Is The Limit
1750
One-off
A design with no agreed shape to stay inside. It goes as far as the idea goes.
For a business that wants to look like nobody else in the county.
Included, not extra
The SEO is
already done.
A website that nobody finds is a brochure, so the work that gets you found is part of building it rather than a bill that arrives afterwards.
Pages built around what people actually type, titles and headings written to match, the technical groundwork done, and your Google Business Profile set up properly and matched to the site. Search Console connected and handed to you on launch day, so you can see what you are being found for without asking anybody.
What we will not do is tell you where you will land. Where you rank is Google's decision, and anyone quoting you a position is guessing. We are also not selling ongoing monthly SEO at the moment — the foundation is built in and the access is yours, and we would rather say that plainly than bill you for something we are not focused on.
The rules
Money, plainly.
- 01
A quarter to start, the rest on completion
25% up front books the work in. The remaining 75% is due once the site is finished and you have seen it on your own phone. Nothing else is collected in between.
- 02
Minor changes are included
Wording, prices on your own services, a colour you have gone off. All three packages cover these for as long as we work together, and you do not need to count them.
- 03
Major changes use a revision
Anything that adds to the site rather than edits it — a new page being the obvious one. Each package includes a set number of these inside its post-launch support. Past that, we agree the work and the cost with you before any of it starts, so nothing arrives on an invoice you did not expect.
- 04
Hosting and maintenance is £250 a year
Included for the first year with Sky Is The Limit, then £250 a year. Optional with Basic and Professional — and it is what gives you access to your CMS. It covers hosting, security certificates, updates, backups and checking that your enquiry form is still delivering.
Questions we get asked
When do I pay?
A 25% deposit books the work in. The remaining 75% is due when the site is finished and you have seen it. There is nothing to pay in between and no payment is taken before you know what you are getting.
What counts as a minor change?
Text and colour. Changing your opening hours, rewording a service, swapping a heading, adjusting a shade you have gone off. These are included in all three packages after the site is live, and with hosting and maintenance you can make most of them yourself in the CMS.
What counts as a major change?
Anything that adds to the site rather than edits what is there. A new page is the clearest example. Inside your post-launch support it uses one of your revisions; outside it, or once they are used up, we agree the work and the price with you first.
What happens after the first year of hosting?
On Sky Is The Limit, where the first year is included, it carries on at £250 a year — the same rate as everyone else. The first year being included is a starting discount, not a permanent one, and we would rather tell you that now than at renewal.
Is SEO included, or is it extra?
Included. Every package is built so the site can be found — the pages structured around real searches, the titles and headings written to match, the technical groundwork done and your Google Business Profile set up and matched to the site. There is no separate SEO fee, and we are not selling ongoing monthly SEO at the moment.
Why is five pages enough for the Basic package?
For some businesses it is. If you want to be found for several different jobs, you want a page for each of them, and that is the Professional package rather than a bigger Basic one. We will tell you honestly which one your business actually needs.
What counts as a revision?
A revision is one major change after launch — something that adds to the site rather than edits it, like a new page or a new section. Minor changes such as wording, prices and colours never use one. Revisions are used inside your post-launch support: one within 2 weeks on Basic, two within 1 month on Professional, three within 3 months on Sky Is The Limit. They do not roll over, and changes while we are designing and building the site are part of the build, not revisions.
