How much does a website cost?
Honestly? Nobody can say without seeing the details of the site required — it's a bit like asking how long a piece of string is. Every business needs something different, so a one-size price tag would only be a guess.
What we can offer is a predictable way of getting there: a fixed price for building your site, agreed before we start, and then — if you want your site to keep evolving and take advantage of website marketing — an ongoing maintenance package to match.
Website builds — fixed, time-based pricing
We scope how many days your build needs and agree the total upfront. The more days booked, the lower the day rate.
| Build time | Total cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 day | £280 | Standard rate (£280/day) |
| 2 days | £560 | Standard rate (£280/day) |
| 3 days | £825 | £275/day |
| 4 days | £1,080 | £270/day |
| 5 days | £1,325 | £265/day |
| 6 days | £1,560 | £260/day |
| 8 days | £2,000 | £250/day |
| 9 days | £2,205 | £245/day |
| 10 days | £2,400 | £240/day |
| 12 days | £2,760 | £230/day |
| 15 days | £3,300 | £220/day (max discount) |
Ongoing maintenance & growth
Once your site is live, a monthly plan keeps it fast, secure and up to date. Higher plans add hours each month for changes, new features, content and SEO, with monitoring and reporting on traffic and engagement so you can see your site's real-world impact over time. Choose the plan that matches how your site is built.
WordPress sites
| Plan | Price / month | Hours / month | What's included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | £15 | — | Hosting, one backup a month and automatic WordPress core security updates. Plugin updates, fixes, changes and recovering a hacked or broken site are not included (£30/hour). |
| Care | £60 | 1 | Everything in Basic, plus weekly backups, plugin updates, and restoring your site from backup if it breaks or is hacked. Extra clean-up uses your monthly hour first, then £30/hour. |
| Plus | £150 | 4 | Everything in Care, with 4 hours a month for changes, a blog post or a small feature. |
| GrowthRecommended | £240 | 7 | Everything in Plus, with 7 hours a month for design changes, new features and SEO content. |
| Pro | £450 | 16 | Everything in Growth, plus priority turnaround (within 2 working days) and a monthly check-in call. |
| Partner | £800 | 32 | Everything in Pro, plus same-week delivery of larger features and a quarterly strategy and SEO review. |
Payload sites
There's no Basic tier for Payload: a site that isn't kept updated is likely to break on the next deploy, so Care is the minimum. Features are built rather than installed, so they come out of your plan hours or are quoted at £30/hour.
| Plan | Price / month | Hours / month | What's included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Care | £60 | 1 | Vercel hosting and database, database backups, Payload and security updates (tested before release) and 1 hour of changes. |
| Plus | £150 | 4 | Everything in Care, with 4 hours a month for changes, a blog post or a small feature. |
| GrowthRecommended | £240 | 7 | Everything in Plus, with 7 hours a month for design changes, new features and SEO content. |
| Pro | £450 | 16 | Everything in Growth, plus priority turnaround (within 2 working days) and a monthly check-in call. |
| Partner | £800 | 32 | Everything in Pro, plus same-week delivery of larger features and a quarterly strategy and SEO review. |
Good to know
- Prices are per month. All plans can be cancelled at any time.
- Unused hours don't roll over.
- Anything outside your plan is charged at £30/hour.
- Moving from WordPress to Payload: Pro or Partner hours can cover the migration over a couple of months instead of a one-off rebuild fee.
- Payload handover: we hand over the code repository and transfer the Vercel project. Support after handover is £30/hour.
