Website prices range from under a hundred pounds to tens of thousands, and both can be the right price — for different projects. The trick is matching your budget to what you actually need, not to a number you saw somewhere.
What drives the cost
- Number of pages and complexity
- Custom design vs. a template
- Features like e-commerce, booking, or logins
- Copywriting and imagery
- Ongoing maintenance and support
Rough tiers to expect
A simple, polished landing page or brochure site is the most affordable tier. A multi-page custom site with a blog and forms sits in the middle. Anything with e-commerce, user accounts, or custom functionality moves into a higher bracket because it's really software, not just design.
Spend where it matters
If budget is tight, invest first in clear messaging and a clean, fast, mobile-friendly design. Fancy animations and extra pages can wait; a confusing or slow site costs you customers no matter how much it cost to build.
