We Create Innovative Solutions for Excellence and the Future

Because every business is unique, the cost of a website varies depending on what you need it to do. Asking "How much is a website?" is a bit like asking "How much is a house?"—a two-bedroom cottage costs less than a ten-bedroom mansion.

However, to give you a realistic idea of what to budget:

• Standard Brochure Website: For a professional site that showcases your services, photos, and contact details (ideal for most service-based businesses), prices typically range from £500 to £1,500.
• E-commerce or Custom Site: For websites that need to take payments, manage customer logins, or handle complex databases, projects typically start from £1,500+ and vary based on complexity.

My Promise: I don't believe in hidden fees. After our initial meeting, I will provide a fixed-price quote in GBP so you know exactly what the total will be before we start. This fee is typically split into stages (e.g., a deposit to start, and the balance upon completion), all handled securely via GoCardless.

Yes, certainly. I can build fully functional, secure e-commerce websites that allow you to sell your products or services online 24/7.

Whether you are selling physical goods, digital downloads, or services, I create online shops that are:

• Secure: Built with industry-standard SSL encryption to keep your customers' data safe.
• Easy to Manage: I build systems with an intuitive "back office" dashboard, allowing you to easily add new products, track stock levels, and process orders yourself.
• Payment Ready: While I invoice you via GoCardless, I will set up your shop to accept instant credit and debit card payments (via secure gateways like Stripe or PayPal) so your customers can pay you easily.

Best of all, my service includes comprehensive training. I will sit down with you (or meet via video) to show you exactly how to run your store, ensuring you feel 100% confident managing orders from day one.

Yes, absolutely. Your website is fully portable. I build websites specifically to avoid vendor lock-in, meaning you are free to move your site to any hosting provider at any time.

As you own all the files and code once the project is complete, moving is straightforward. If you choose to switch hosts, I will provide you with:

• The complete set of website files (code, assets, theme files).
• A full, current copy of your website's database.
• All necessary credentials and configuration documentation.

While I recommend staying on my managed, high-performance UK hosting for guaranteed security and speed, you have full control and freedom over your hosting choices.

Yes, to secure your place in my schedule and cover initial setup costs, I typically require a deposit.

My standard payment structure is designed to be simple and fair:

• 50% Deposit: Due upfront before work begins.
• 50% Final Balance: Due only once the project is complete and you are happy with the finished website.

However, I understand that every business has different cash flow needs. For larger projects or specific requirements, I am happy to discuss milestone-based payment plans (e.g., breaking the payments down into stages as we complete different parts of the build). We can discuss the best option for you during our initial meeting.

Yes, there are essential, low-cost ongoing fees required to keep any professional website secure, online, and performing optimally. Think of it like owning a car—it requires fuel and MOT to stay on the road.

The core ongoing costs include:

• Domain Name Renewal: A small annual fee to keep your website address (e.g., yourname.co.uk) registered in your name.
• Website Hosting: The cost of the secure, high-performance server space that keeps your website accessible 24/7.
• Security and Software Updates: The frequent updating of your website's underlying software (CMS, themes, plugins) to prevent security vulnerabilities and ensure compatibility.

To ensure your site is always protected and updated without hassle, I offer a range of comprehensive Maintenance Packages designed to suit all business sizes and needs. These packages cover all necessary renewals, security updates, and provide continuous support, all paid for simply and securely via GoCardless.
