"How much does a website cost?" is usually the first question we get asked, and the honest answer is: it depends on what the site needs to do. But most Lincolnshire business owners have never been given a straight answer, so here's what actually affects the price, and roughly what to expect.
What actually affects the price
The number of pages is the obvious one, but it's rarely the biggest factor. What moves the price more is: how much custom design work is needed, whether content (photos, copy, product data) already exists or needs creating, and whether the site needs anything beyond a standard build — a booking system, a product catalogue, a members' area.
A five-page site for a local trades business and a five-page site with a custom quote calculator are both "five pages" — but very different jobs.
Typical price ranges
As a rough guide: a focused small-business site (home, services, about, contact) usually starts from £1,295. A larger site with more pages, a blog, or e-commerce sits higher depending on scope. Ongoing SEO and maintenance are priced separately, since not everyone needs them from day one.
Anyone quoting you a price without asking what the site actually needs to do is guessing — treat a suspiciously precise instant quote with caution.
Why we quote fixed-price, not hourly
Hourly billing puts the risk on you — if a project runs long, the bill grows, and you find out at the end. We agree the scope and the price upfront, so you know exactly what you're paying before any work starts. If you want to add something mid-project, that's quoted separately before we touch it, so there's never a surprise invoice.
Getting an accurate quote
The fastest way to get a real number is a short call — we'll ask what the site needs to do, who it's for, and what (if anything) you already have to work with, then quote a fixed price before any work begins.
