Prices
Let's be honest. This is the page you're really looking for isn't it?
And why not? You want to know how much you're going to have to pay to get your site online.
We specialise in producing websites for small and medium-sized businesses - we do quality work for realistic prices.
Website Templates
Our website templates are all at a fixed rate and include four pages as standard - a home page, a contact form page and two other pages which could be used to describe your business or products with up to 1000 words per page. All of the colours and images are customisable - we can find images for you if necessary, although this may involve extra cost if we have to pay for image royalties. Websites from templates are £250, with the option to add pages at £30 per page. Click here to start the ball rolling.
Bespoke Websites
Our bespoke websites are designed with your business in mind. If you have a flower shop, there's no point in us designing a site with metallic greys and dark blues. We listen to what you want and design a site that's easy to browse, full of your content and pleasing to look at.
The costs below are based on standard websites written in valid XHTML without any type of user interactivity except contact forms. Note that the cost of designing a website is not proportionate to the amount of pages on the site - sometimes it takes just as long to develop the "look" and "feel" of a single page as it does for twenty pages!
Option 1: Single page business card website
If you need a web address but don't really have a lot of content to fill more than one page, or are not ready for a full website, this is the option for you. This page can contain information on what you do, your full contact details, up to two images and an email link. You can add to this website at a later date if you want to expand it. Website price - £99
Option 2: 4-6 page brochure-type website
This brochure website is suitable for most small businesses. This option consists of a home page, contact page, and up to four other pages of your choice. You could have a page describing your business, another describing your products or another with testimonials from previous customers. However, you must provide the text to be used. Each page can have up to three images and up to 1000 words. Website price - £350
Option 3: 7-9 page brochure-type website
This brochure website is suitable for most medium-sized businesses. This option consists of a home page, contact page, and up to seven other pages of your choice. You could use the pages as in Option 2 but use separate pages for different product types, or have a "Meet the team" page. Again, you must provide the text to be used. Each page can have up to three images and up to 1000 words. Website price - £450
Option 4: 10-12 page brochure-type website
This brochure website is suitable for most medium-sized businesses who perhaps would like to include more detail of their products and services. This option consists of a home page, contact page, and up to ten other pages of your choice. Each page can have up to three images and up to 1000 words. Website price - £600

Things that can affect the price of your bespoke website can include:
- Copy typing - having to transcribe large amount of text from a paper copy takes time. Always try and submit your text in an electronic format - even if it's just an email.
- Graphic design work - this is possibly the single most time-consuming part of developing a website. If your site is to contain a lot of original graphic design, you can expect to pay more.
- Changing your mind - it's important that you carefully specify your website before work commences. If we develop your website or part of your website as agreed with you and you change your mind about what you need, the work already done will still have to be paid for. Plan your website and know what you want. We can certainly help you with this!
Other services
- Website updates - If you don't need a Content Management System, we can update your site for you. After your website goes live, you get two weeks of free updates, just to make sure that everything is as you want it. After the fortnight has passed, we charge £25 per hour (or part of hour) for any updates (If it's just a very minor change, we may not even charge you at all).
- Domain Names & Hosting - We use a trusted third party for our hosting and domain name registration. The company we use is one of the top hosting companies in the UK and guarantees 99.9% uptime. You get a FREE .uk domain name (.com is £9.99 extra) and what's more, we don't make any profit from hosting - what they charge us is what we charge you, and that's currently £59.99 - £99.99 + VAT per year depending on which package you choose.

How do I pay?
As a small business ourselves, we understand the need to keep costs low so we take credit and debit card payments through PayPal. Once we've established your website requirements, we'll send you an invoice.
You may be familiar with the Common Law of Business Balance:
"It is unwise to pay too much, but it is worse to pay too little. When you pay too much you lose a little money - that is all.
When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do.
The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot; it cannot be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better"
John Ruskin (1819 - 1900)
