How much does a website cost in the UK?
The honest answer is that it depends on what the website has to do. A simple page that gets you found is a different job from an online shop. Here is what drives the price, so you can compare quotes fairly.

Starting prices, not final. We agree the final price with you in a fixed written quote before any work starts. VAT applies where relevant.
What changes the price
- Number of pages. A 5-page site costs less than a 30-page site with a blog and service pages.
- Custom design or a proven layout. Starting from a tested layout is faster and cheaper. Fully custom design takes more designer time.
- Taking payments. An online shop needs a catalogue, checkout, payment set-up and order emails.
- Bookings, quotes and integrations. Connecting to a calendar, CRM or accounting tool adds build time.
- Apps and AI features. A mobile app or an AI assistant is a separate piece of software, priced on its own.
Costs people forget
- Domain name. Renewed yearly. Make sure it is registered in your name.
- Hosting. Where the site lives. Some providers bundle it, others charge monthly.
- Updates and support. Ask whether changes are included, or charged by the hour.
Questions to ask any provider
- Is the price fixed, and what exactly is included?
- Do I own the domain, the content and the code?
- What do hosting and updates cost after launch?
- How long until it is live?
