Know what it costs before you call us
Most agencies hide their pricing so they can work out what you can afford. We would rather you knew the numbers up front, decided for yourself whether we are worth a conversation, and spent the call on your business instead of on guessing.
Website pricing
Three starting points, not three boxes to squeeze into. The figure is the floor for that type of project. Your written quote is a single fixed price, agreed before any work begins.

Book a callWe are not VAT registered, so there is nothing to add. A VAT registered agency quoting the same £2,800 will invoice you £3,360. If your business cannot reclaim it, that difference is real money.
Roughly where businesses land
Real projects, not packages. This is the range most work falls into.
| Type of business | Typical investment |
|---|---|
| One page brochure site | £900 to £1,200 |
| Local trades business | £1,500 to £2,800 |
| Multi service company | £2,800 to £5,000 |
| Systems audit | From £1,500 |
| Bespoke application or platform | Quoted |
Not sure which one you are? That is what the discovery call is for, and it is free. If your problem is systems that do not talk to each other rather than a website, the numbers for that are below.
Keeping your website running
Optional, and never bundled into the project price. If you would rather host and maintain the site yourself, we will hand it over cleanly and show you how.

How we get to your number
The figures above are starting points. Here is how they turn into a price with your name on it.
- We work out what it is worth firstBefore anything else, what a fix would be worth to you in enquiries won or hours saved. If that number is small, the project should be small too, or not happen.
- The quote comes in writing, not on the callPricing a project properly takes more than half an hour, and a number invented on the spot is a number invented to close you.
- Systems work is quoted from the auditNot from a guess made before anyone looked. The audit fee is fixed and agreed before it starts, and the findings are yours either way.
- Half up front, half on launchNo deposit taken before the scope is agreed, and no invoice you have not already seen coming.
You decide in your own time. No follow up sequence, no chasing, and no discount that expires on Friday.
Book a 30-minute discovery callSystems and data pricing
This work does not fit into three neat boxes, and any firm that tells you otherwise has not looked at your systems yet. So we look first, for a fixed fee, and you keep the findings whatever you decide to do next. More on how that works.

Book a callIf the audit says the work is not worth doing, that is what it will say. You will have spent a fixed fee to find that out, rather than a five figure sum to discover it halfway through.
What actually happens
Six steps, whichever type of project you are buying. Nothing starts until the one before it is signed off.
Discovery call
Thirty minutes, free. What the problem is, what fixing it would be worth, and whether it is worth doing at all.
Fixed written proposal
A few days later. One price, the scope in plain terms, and the reasoning behind the number. No expiry date on it.
Design
You see it before it gets built. Two rounds of changes are in the price, because it is cheaper to change a design than a build.
Build
Hand written and tested on real devices. You get progress updates without having to chase for them.
Launch
Domain, hosting, analytics and tracking configured and handed over, with everything documented for whoever comes next.
Support
Thirty days free after launch for anything that breaks or was not quite right. A care plan after that is optional.
No surprise invoices
Once the scope is agreed in writing, the price stays the same. If we underestimated the work, that is our problem to absorb, not yours to pay for. The only thing that ever changes the number is extra work you ask for, and we agree that in writing before we start it.
In every project, at every price
These are not upsells. They are the minimum standard, and they are already in the number you see above.
Built to be fast
Hand written code, no bloated page builder. Your site loads quickly on a phone with two bars of signal, which is how most of your customers will see it.
Legal and compliant
UK GDPR compliant cookie consent, a privacy policy that reflects what your site actually does, and HTTPS as standard. Not an afterthought and not an extra line item.
Measurable
Analytics and enquiry tracking configured on day one, so in three months you can answer the only question that matters: did this pay for itself?
You own everything
Code, content and domain are yours on final payment. No proprietary platform, no licence to keep paying, no fee to walk away.
Two rounds of revisions
Built into the price. We would rather you told us it was wrong at the design stage than quietly disliked it for the next five years.
30 days of support after launch
Anything that breaks, anything that was not quite right, anything you forgot to mention. Free for the first month, no care plan required.
The awkward questions
So have we, and most of them are a template with your logo dropped in, no thought about who is meant to find it, and no way of telling whether it ever brought in a single enquiry. If a cheap site wins you nothing, it did not cost you £500. It cost you £500 and a year of enquiries that went to a competitor instead.
Because a five page site for a joiner and a five page site for a manufacturer with a technical product catalogue are not the same job. The starting figures tell you the floor for each type of project, so you can rule us in or out before spending time on a call. What you get after the call is a single fixed price, not an estimate.
No. Hourly billing rewards us for being slow and punishes you for asking questions. Projects are fixed price, agreed in writing before any work starts, so you know the total on day one.
Same principle, one extra step. The audit is a fixed price agreed before it starts, and the build is then quoted from what the audit actually found rather than guessed at in advance. Ongoing governance is a monthly retainer you can cancel with 30 days notice, the same as a care plan.
That is our problem, not yours. A fixed price means the risk of underestimating the work sits with us. The only thing that changes the price is a change you request to the agreed scope, and we agree that in writing before we do it.
Yes. On final payment the code, the content and the domain are yours, and the same applies to any integration or reporting work. There is no proprietary platform to be locked into and no fee to leave. If you want to take it to another developer in two years, you can, and everything will be documented so they can pick it up.
Then you have saved a few thousand pounds and lost half an hour. If your business genuinely gets all its work by word of mouth and a website would not move the needle, we would rather say so than take the money and hand you something that quietly does nothing.
Still working out if the numbers stack up?
Bring your figures to the call and we will work it out together. Free, 30 minutes, and you will leave with an honest answer either way.
