Ranges are typical UK market prices in 2026 and vary with the number of pages, features and how much content needs writing.
What changes the price of a website?
- Number of pages. A five-page site costs less than a 30-page site.
- Custom design or template. A custom design costs more, but it makes you look different from competitors using the same theme.
- Features. Online booking, payments, shops, member areas and integrations all add time.
- Content. Copywriting, photography and video are often the hidden cost. Ask whether they are included.
- SEO set-up. A site with no SEO groundwork can look great and still never be found.
- Speed. Faster turnaround needs a team that can commit the time.
Ongoing costs to budget for
- Domain name: about £10 to £20 a year for a .co.uk or .com.
- Hosting: £5 to £50 a month depending on speed, security and support.
- Maintenance: £50 to £300 a month for updates, backups and small changes.
- Marketing: optional, for SEO, social media or ads once the site is live.

Is a cheap website worth it?
A cheap website is worth it if it brings in more than it costs. The risk with the cheapest options is a site that looks like everyone else's, loads slowly on a phone and never appears on Google, so it costs you customers instead.
