Answer three questions and you'll get a realistic range in about thirty seconds. No email, no form, no “book a discovery call” — the number appears on the page.
Agency figures are typical UK small-business quotes for a comparable brief, including the cost of paying someone hourly for changes. Your own quotes will vary — this is a sense of the range, not a promise about anyone else's pricing.
Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy. Cheap on paper, but you are the designer, the copywriter and the person who fixes it at 11pm. Most small business owners we speak to have a half-finished one already.
Usually good value for the build itself. The catch is what happens afterwards — changes are billed hourly, and freelancers move on, get busy, or stop replying.
A proper process and a proper result, and genuinely worth it for complex projects. For a six-page site for a plumber it's usually more process than the job requires.
Enormous range, and the price tells you very little. What matters is the setup fee, the minimum term, whether edits are included, and who owns the site at the end.
For a straightforward brochure site of up to about 12 pages, a fair one-off price from a freelancer or small agency in 2026 is £800 to £3,000. On a pay-monthly basis, £25 to £59 a month with everything included is realistic. Anything above roughly £150 a month for a simple site deserves a hard look at what you're actually getting.
Because "a website" covers everything from a single page to a shop with stock control. The other reason is that a lot of the price difference is sales and account management overhead rather than the site itself — which is exactly what a small operation can strip out.
Changes, hosting, the domain, SSL, and someone's time. A £900 build that costs £75 an hour for every edit can easily cost more over three years than a £39 a month plan with edits included. Work out the three-year figure, not the sticker price.
Price and search performance aren't related. Speed, structure, genuinely useful content and being crawlable are what matter — and those are free to do properly. A slow £4,000 website loses to a fast £300 one every time.
Not with us — hosting, SSL and maintenance are inside the monthly price. Ask any provider directly, because it's the most common surprise line on a first invoice.
No. The answer appears above without asking for anything at all. If you choose to have it emailed, you get one email with your estimate in it. No sequence, no sales call unless you ask for one.
