How much does a website cost in the UK?
A website project in the UK can cost anywhere from £500 for a simple one-page site to £70,000 or more for a large custom build. A typical small business website costs between £1,000 and £5,000, depending on the number of pages, the amount of custom design and any extra features such as booking or online payments.
What are the typical website price ranges?
Website prices in the UK fall into four broad bands.
- DIY website builders: roughly £10–£40 per month, with your own time as the main cost
- Simple one-page or starter websites: from around £500
- Small business website from an agency: roughly £1,000–£5,000
- Larger websites with online shops, booking systems or custom platforms: £5,000 to £70,000 and above
What affects the cost of a website?
The cost of a website is driven by scope: how many pages, how much custom design and how much functionality.
Content also matters. A project where the client supplies finished text and photography costs less than one where the agency writes copy and arranges photography.
- Number of unique page layouts
- Copywriting and photography
- Booking, payments or member areas
- Integrations with other software
What are the ongoing costs of a website?
The ongoing costs of a website are hosting, the domain name, and optional maintenance or support.
A domain typically costs a few pounds to around £20 per year. Hosting for a small business site ranges from a few pounds to a few tens of pounds per month, depending on the provider and the level of support.
Is a cheap website a false economy?
A cheap website is a false economy when it fails to win enquiries.
The real measure is return: a site that brings in one extra customer a month pays for itself quickly. Ask any designer how the site will be found, how fast it loads and how visitors will contact you.
How do we price websites at Bradford Web Design?
Bradford Web Design takes on website projects from £500 to £70,000, and we don't turn away small projects.
That range covers a one-page site for a local trader, a small business website, and large builds for established companies. We can do it all in-house: design, build, e-commerce, booking systems, custom platforms, and the SEO, AEO and GEO that bring in enquiries. The quote lists the pages, features and content included, so there are no surprise invoices at the end of the project. Every client receives a fixed quote before work begins.
