Website Pricing Guide
There isn't one fixed price for a website.
A website can cost a few hundred pounds or tens of thousands. The difference usually comes down to the amount of design, development, functionality and ongoing work required.
Business Website
Larger business websites usually require more pages, content, custom design and functionality, increasing the overall project cost.
Complex Website
Ecommerce stores, custom platforms, advanced integrations and bespoke functionality can require significantly larger budgets.

What Affects Website Cost?
Six things that can change the price of a website.
Number of Pages
A five-page website requires less work than a website containing dozens of pages and content sections.
Design
Template-based websites can be quicker to produce, while completely custom designs require more planning and design time.
Functionality
Booking systems, forms, calculators, accounts, dashboards and other features increase development requirements.
Ecommerce
Selling products online introduces additional requirements such as product management, checkout, payments and order handling.
Content
Professional copywriting, photography, graphics and other content services can affect the overall project budget.
Ongoing Support
Hosting, maintenance, updates, backups and ongoing development can create additional recurring costs.
Beyond The Build
Remember the ongoing costs too.
Building the website is only one part of owning a website. Some costs continue after launch.
Domain
Your domain name normally requires annual registration or renewal.
Hosting
Web hosting stores your website and makes it accessible to visitors online.
Maintenance
Websites may require software updates, security checks, backups and technical maintenance.
SEO & Marketing
Building a website does not automatically generate traffic. Search optimisation and marketing may be required to attract visitors.

Know Your Requirements
Decide which pages and features you actually need before development begins.
Prepare Your Content
Having your business information, images and content ready can reduce project delays.
Prioritise Features
Start with the functionality that matters most. Additional features can often be added later.
Think Long Term
The cheapest website is not always the best value. A well-built website can support your business for years.
