Every price below is a genuine starting point, not bait. What you actually pay depends on scope, and you will know the final figure before I start any work.
A site that earns its keep, not just a brochure.
A site that loads in under a second, reads well on a phone, and gives people an obvious reason to get in touch. From a single page upwards.
£250
for a single-page site — multi-page builds are priced above this
Small businesses with no site at all, or one that has quietly stopped working.
The tool your business actually needs, not the one you settled for.
A focused first version of the tool the business actually needs — bookings, portals, internal systems — built small and extended once you have used it in anger.
£1,500
for a focused first version
Businesses running a critical process on spreadsheets, paper, or sheer memory.
More on web apps & custom software — full details and pricing
Selling online without the monthly bill for features you never use.
A shop that is quick to load and quick to check out — on Shopify or a custom Stripe build — with payments and delivery configured and tested properly.
£900
for a starter store
Businesses selling in person who want a second income stream online.
AI that saves real hours, not a chatbot for the sake of it.
Assistants that answer from your own information, automations that clear repetitive admin, and AI features built into custom tools. Starting with where it would genuinely save time.
£750
for a single assistant or automation
Businesses losing hours every week to the same questions, emails or paperwork.
Someone who picks up when the site goes down.
Hosting, updates, backups and monitoring handled, and one person to message when something breaks. Rolling monthly, with no tie-in.
£40/mo
on a rolling monthly basis, no long tie-in
Any business whose website matters but who has nobody to look after it.
Every option here is a real one, including leaving things exactly as they are. A £250 site has to win one decent job to have paid for itself, and that is a more useful question than the sticker price.
| Option | Cost | What it costs beyond money |
|---|---|---|
| Do it yourself | Free, or a subscription | Free gets you a builder-branded address and their adverts on your site. Your own domain and something you would put on a van means a subscription, and the advertised figure is usually an introductory rate covering the first term only. Either way the real cost is your evenings and days off, up front and then forever. |
| Ask an agency | Several thousand pounds | A team and a proper process, which genuinely earns its cost at a certain size. For a single-page site, most of what you are paying for is coordination, and you rarely deal directly with whoever writes the code. |
| Leave it as it is | Nothing up front | Paid instead every time somebody searches for what you do, finds a competitor first, and phones them rather than you. |
| Ask me | From £250, once | Live within two weeks of the words and photos being ready, with the code, the domain and the accounts in your name, and one person who picks up the phone afterwards. |
Tell me what you are trying to do and I will tell you honestly whether I can help, what it would cost, and how long it would take. I reply within one working day.
