Start with one customer task

A gardener might need visitors to check the work covered, see a few genuine photographs and call for a quote. An accountant may need separate explanations for bookkeeping, annual accounts and payroll. Those businesses need different amounts of information, even if both want a straightforward website.

Write down the main action you want someone to take: call, send an enquiry, request an appointment or buy. Then list the information they need before doing it. A booking system or online shop needs its own agreed scope; it is not an automatic extra in a brochure website.

When one page is enough

A single page can suit a business with a focused service and a short set of customer questions. It can bring together the offer, coverage, work photographs, practical details and contact route without making visitors move between several pages.

Our landing-page option starts at £299. Choose it because your content fits comfortably, rather than trying to squeeze several unrelated services into the cheapest option. If each service needs a substantial explanation, visitors may find separate pages easier to use.

When separate pages help

A larger static website gives important services and projects their own space. For example, a roofing business can explain roof work on one page and show a collection of completed jobs on another, while keeping the homepage brief.

Our static business website starts at £599 for up to five agreed pages. It suits information that changes occasionally. Decide how future edits will be handled: an individual update or an agreed care arrangement may be enough when service details stay much the same.

Choose WordPress when you need to edit

If you regularly change page text, images or other agreed content yourself, an editable website may be the better fit. Our WordPress option starts at £899 for up to five editable pages, using a reusable theme and layouts.

Explain exactly what you want to update. Editing an existing paragraph is different from creating new page layouts or adding a shop. The quote should identify the editing tasks and handover guidance, along with who will maintain the site afterwards.

Before choosing WordPress, list a few changes you expect to make: replacing a work photograph, editing a service description or updating an opening time. Agree which of those changes the handover will cover. Read about the WordPress editing and handover scope.

You may already have a usable logo. If you need a new one, think about its everyday uses: a website header, social profile, vehicle sign or printed card. Those uses help determine the versions and files required.

Logo design is quoted separately and is not included in the website starting prices. If you need both, the quote can show the website and logo work clearly.

Compare the full quote

Check the pages, supplied content, enquiry route, revisions, timetable, handover and payment terms. Domain, hosting, paid services and applicable taxes are separate. Keep the domain and hosting in your name; website access can be arranged through a delegated invitation where available.

Optional static care starts at £25 a month and WordPress care at £49 a month. The actual checks, editing allowance and support arrangements need agreement before care begins.
