Introduction

If you’ve been thinking about getting a website built for your business, you’re probably asking: How much should it actually cost? The truth is, pricing can vary widely—so in this guide, we’ll explain the average cost of websites in the UK, what affects pricing, and how to make sure you’re getting value for your money.

1. Starter Website (£300–£800)

A simple brochure site with a few pages (Home, About, Services, Contact) is perfect for freelancers and small businesses just starting out.

• 3–5 pages

• Mobile-friendly design

• Contact form

• Fast turnaround (1–2 weeks)

2. Business Website (£800–£2,000)

More pages, extra features like booking forms, and more tailored design. This is ideal for growing businesses.

• 5–10 pages

• Integrated contact, booking, or quote forms

• On-page SEO setup

• Basic blog or CMS

3. Premium Website (£2,000–£5,000+)

For businesses that need advanced features or full branding packages.

• Custom animations

• E-commerce setup

• Advanced integrations (CRMs, APIs)

• Ongoing support

What Impacts Website Costs?

• Design complexity – Custom layouts and animation take more time.

• Content creation – Will you supply the text and images, or do you need help?

• Platform used – Sites built with Framer are typically faster and more affordable than custom-coded platforms.

• Speed of delivery – Faster builds may cost more.

Tips for Getting Value

• Be clear on your goals: What do you want the site to do?

• Don’t overpay for features you don’t need

• Choose a transparent agency with fixed packages (like TechPillar 😉)
