Website Price Guide

Many factors influence the price of a website, and to give you an accurate estimate, I need to understand your goals, your level of preparation, and the scope of work involved.

To help clarify the process, here are six key areas we'll consider when determining your project's cost:

‍Type of Website

• A standard informational website
• An online store with e-commerce functionality
• A membership-based website

Project Size

• A simple, single-page website
• A 5–10 page brochure-style site
• A complex site with multiple features, such as blogs, case studies, or product listings

Content and Imagery

• You have all your content ready
• The content is mostly complete but could benefit from professional editing for clarity, engagement, and SEO
• Content needs to be created from scratch
• You already have imagery, or you need assistance sourcing or creating visuals

Design

• You have a fully designed concept ready to implement (e.g., in Photoshop or Figma)
• You've identified examples of styles you like but need help refining them into a cohesive design
• You're starting from scratch with no specific design direction

Interactivity & Animations

• A straightforward website with minimal movement
• Dynamic elements, such as scroll effects, hover interactions, and animations

Functionality

• Features like file uploads (e.g., CV submissions)
• Membership or user login areas
• The ability to edit and update your website yourself

Only after gathering answers to these questions can I provide a reliable quote. In short: the more complex the project and the more involvement required on my end, the higher the likely cost.

It shouldn't only be about the price

It's tempting to focus solely on the lowest price when comparing website quotes. Different website companies will quote vastly different prices. But they could be offering you very different things.

Yes, a website could be created for a few hundred quid, and you'll have a basic online presence. But what if we aimed higher? What could be achieved by investing more in a website that unlocks a greater potential of your business?

So, instead of asking, "How much will this cost?" consider: "What do I need my website to do for me?"

Here are a few key goals to keep in mind:

Build Credibility and Trust‍

• ‍‍Your website is often the first impression potential customers have of your business.
  A sleek, professional design conveys credibility, but that's just the beginning. A great website tells a compelling story—PROVING you can deliver on your promises.

• Your content needs a clear, persuasive offer. It should highlight your target customer's pain points, demonstrate empathy, and provide a solution. The goal? To show why YOU are the ideal choice and to eliminate the need for your visitors to look elsewhere.

Drive Visibility in Search Results

• Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is a crucial part of effective web design.
  Strategic keyword placement, carefully crafted headings, and well-structured page content can help your site rank higher in search results — bringing more visitors to your business.

The Value of Investing in Strategy

When we shift the focus to what your website needs to achieve, rather thean looking for the cheapest quote, we unlock greater potential:

• Higher search rankings = More visitors
• A compelling narrative = More interest
• More visitors + More interest = More customers

By investing more into thoughtful content, strategic design, and effective functionality, we can create a website that doesn't just exist—it works as a powerful marketing tool for your business.

Partnering with the Right Web Designer

Building a website isn't a one-off task; it's the start of a long-term relationship. When choosing a web designer, it's worth considering:

• Is your designer established and reliable for the long term?
• Will they create a bespoke website tailored to your brand, or are they using a generic, off-the-shelf template?
• Do they have genuine, independent customer reviews?
• Will they offer proactive advice to help grow your business?

A skilled web designer isn't just a technician—they're a partner who helps you achieve your business goals. My mission is to design a website that not only looks great but also works hard for you, driving leads, sales, and growth.
