Affordable website
design.

Searching for a cheap website usually means one thing: you want a professional site without wasting money. Here is how to get a website that looks premium, brings in enquiries and fits a small business budget.

Cheap versus affordable

A cheap website has a low price. An affordable website pays for itself. The difference is whether customers can find it, trust it and contact you from it. A £200 template that nobody visits is more expensive than a site that wins you three new customers a month.

Seven ways to keep your website cost down

  1. Start with five pages. Home, About, Services, Gallery and Contact cover most small businesses. Add more later.
  2. Have your content ready. Your logo, a few good photos and a short description of what you do will save time and money.
  3. Choose one designer for everything. Using the same team for your site, logo and social graphics avoids paying twice.
  4. Keep your existing domain. We connect it at no extra cost.
  5. Ask what is included. Check for SEO set-up, mobile design, forms and revisions before you compare prices.
  6. Spread the cost. Ask about payment terms. MONOS takes 75% on booking and 25% on delivery.
  7. Avoid lock-in fees. Make sure you know the monthly costs before you sign.

Good to
know.

Keep it to five pages, have your logo, photos and text ready, keep your existing domain and choose a designer who includes SEO set-up and mobile design in the price. Spreading payments, such as 75% on booking and 25% on delivery, also helps cash flow.

Not always, but many low-cost sites skip SEO set-up, load slowly on phones and reuse the same template as thousands of others, which makes ranking harder. Check that page titles, descriptions, headings, a sitemap and mobile speed are included.

We run occasional invitation-only offers for new businesses and a Spin and Win prize wheel on our website with prizes such as money off your first project and free hosting.
