FAQ

Website design cost: frequently asked questions

How much does a website cost for a small business in the UK?

With us you pay one fixed price: £790 for a professional one-page site (Starter), £1,190 for up to 5 pages (Standard) and £2,290 for up to 8 pages (Premium). In every package we polish your content into clear, search-friendly copy. Extras such as a Google Business Profile, online booking or a blog are only added if you need them, and the calculator shows your total straight away.

How long does it take?

2 to 6 weeks depending on the package, from the day we have your content. With express delivery it's roughly twice as fast.

What are the ongoing costs, and who owns the domain?

Hosting is included. You only pay for your domain, for example a .co.uk at about £10–15 a year, and it's registered in your name. A monthly care plan from £29 is optional.

How do changes work later on?

Email or WhatsApp us what you'd like changed and we'll update it promptly. Changes are included in care plans from £49 a month, otherwise charged by time spent (£79 per hour). No plugins, updates or logins for you to worry about.

Why not just use a website builder?

Site builders charge a monthly fee for as long as you use them, often load slowly and tend to look alike. A custom-built website is quicker, more secure, better for Google and belongs entirely to you.

Is local SEO included?

Every website gets the SEO basics: clean structure, meta data, structured data, fast load times and a sitemap. From the Standard package we also optimise for your town or area, and your Google Business Profile can be set up as an add-on.

Can a studio in Germany work with a UK business?

Yes. We work fully remotely by video call, phone, email and WhatsApp, in English. Frankfurt is only one hour ahead of the UK, so arranging a call is easy.

How does payment work? Is there VAT?

After the intro call you get a fixed-price quote in pounds. Once you accept, you receive the invoice and pay by bank transfer; we start as soon as it's paid and your content is ready. As a German small business (§ 19 UStG) we don't charge VAT.

Do I need a care plan after launch?

No, it's optional. Your website runs without a maintenance contract. A care plan makes sense if you change things regularly or simply don't want to think about it.
