Cost-effective web design for small businesses.

Services & Prices

Website prices vary widely because every site is different. We aim to give you the best possible return on investment, whatever your budget. Naturally, exact prices will depend on the amount of work involved, and we will discuss your precise needs before giving you a specific quote. The following basic prices are provided as guidelines only:

Domain Names

Domain names cost between £5 and £25 per year, depending on type, with a minimum registration period of 2 years. We can do this for you (subject to availability), or you can check domain name availability with our preferred supplier here, and purchase direct. Whilst the costs, flexibility and 'small print' of other services vary widely, we can also administer domains registered through other registrars, configuring any associated email services as required. Domain administration tasks are charged at our standard rate of £15 per hour.

Standard Websites

Our base prices start at £100 for the first page, including:

Additional pages following the same layout then cost around £45 per page. A typical, search-engine-friendly web page could include around 500 to 1000 words, and up to 5 images. Standard forms (e.g. contact forms) and simple interactions or animations may also be included - competitive quotations for more complex features can be provided following detailed discussion.

Designing a completely custom website takes time, adding £150 to the cost of a typical site for up to three draft designs and one final layout (depending on complexity). Whilst the huge variety of existing website designs confirms the value of investing in a professionally-designed visual identity, you may prefer to start out with something simpler, and refine the design later on. Our standards-compliant code simplifies future restyling, and we have created a selection of simple, yet flexible site templates to which basic branding can be added without extra cost. Based on the use of these templates, package prices for some typical site configurations include:

Dynamic Websites

Dynamic websites are the most cost-effective way to handle large amounts of content. By creating pages from a database on demand, they let you update your site online, reducing maintenance costs, and putting the full power of the Web to work for you. Well-written, up-to-date text is essential for good ratings in search engines (which simply can't see photos and fancy, graphic titles), so even adding a syndicated journal, or 'blog', to your site can make it far easier to build and sustain a viable web presence.

Free, reliable Open Source software allows us to provide complex dynamic solutions at minimal cost, by charging only for setup, customisation and training in their use. We can also develop smaller web applications from scratch (or modify the code of existing Open Source packages); individual quotations can be provided based on specific requirements. Our base prices for some of the varied dynamic site solutions we can offer are:

The "add-on" features normally extend existing sites - or we can build you a small site to host these features, of course.

e-Commerce Websites

Online shops can expand your market worldwide, whilst minimising overheads. Our range of solutions is designed to fit every budget, from entry-level e-Commerce to full-featured shopping carts.

Adding e-Commerce to a site can be as simple as adding a page of legally-required information (e.g. Terms and Conditions and contact details), and suitable links from product pages to a Payment Services Provider (PSP) such as PayPal or Google Checkout. We can also integrate third-party shopping cart services, or configure popular, full-featured e-Commerce packages to accept payments through a PSP or an Internet Merchant Service provided by your own bank. Whilst PSP solutions include secure transaction processing, a secure server can still enhance customer confidence, and is essential for other payment solutions.

Our range of online sales solutions includes:

Site Maintenance, Web Consultancy, SEO & Other Services

The list above is far from comprehensive, and is only intended to illustrate the range and typical costs of services available. From maintaining and/or redesigning existing sites, to search engine optimisation, or just providing friendly yet professional advice on how to establish an internet presence, we can help. Our standard rate for all such tasks is £15 per hour, and we believe that giving you value for money is simply good business - your success is our success, after all.
