FAQ

Website design cost: frequently asked questions

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

With us you pay one fixed price: £790 for a professional one-page site (Starter), £1,190 for up to 5 pages (Standard) and £2,290 for up to 8 pages (Premium). In every package we create the texts and images for your site, and you approve everything before it goes live. Extras such as a Google Business Profile, online booking or a blog are only added if you need them, and the calculator shows your total straight away.

How long does it take?

2 to 6 weeks depending on the package, from the day we have your answers to our short checklist. With express delivery it's roughly twice as fast.

What are the ongoing costs, and who owns the domain?

No monthly fees to us. You pay for your domain (for example a .co.uk at about £10–15 a year, registered in your name) and any email plan directly to the provider, so the domain is yours. Hosting runs on your own account; for a typical local business website, the provider's free plan is currently enough. Changes after launch are charged at £79 per hour in 15-minute steps. For comparison: WordPress maintenance often costs £40–90 a month, website builders £15–35 a month.

How do changes work later on?

Email or WhatsApp us what you'd like changed. We'll tell you the time involved first, then charge £79 per hour in 15-minute steps. If you update often, a prepaid hour pack is cheaper per hour: 5 hours for £339 or 10 hours for £619, valid for 12 months. No plugins, updates or logins for you to worry about.

Why not just use a website builder?

Site builders charge a monthly fee for as long as you use them, often load slowly and tend to look alike. A custom-built website is quicker, more secure, better for Google and belongs entirely to you.

Is local SEO included?

Every website gets the SEO basics: clean structure, meta data, structured data, fast load times and a sitemap. From the Standard package we also optimise for your town or area, and your Google Business Profile can be set up as an add-on.

Can a studio in Germany work with a UK business?

Yes. We work fully remotely by video call, phone, email and WhatsApp, in English. Frankfurt is only one hour ahead of the UK, so arranging a call is easy.

How does payment work?

After the intro call you get a fixed-price quote in pounds. Once you accept, you receive the invoice and pay by bank transfer; we start as soon as it's paid and we have your answers to our short checklist.

What happens after launch? Who makes changes later?

The website is yours: domain, text, images and code all belong to you, and there are no monthly fees to us. You pay for your domain and any email plan directly to the provider. Whenever you need something changed, just message us: we'll give you a quick quote and charge £79 per hour in 15-minute steps, or you can use a prepaid hour pack (5 hours for £339, 10 hours for £619, valid 12 months).
