The cost a website varies depending on the type of website you want and the pages / features you need.

We’ve highlighted typical pricing below:

Landing Page Website: £150

Multi-Page Website: £495 – £995

E-Commerce Websites: £645 – £1,250+ 

Prices are subject to VAT.

Our team will build your draft website using demo content ready for to be replaced with text and images from you. This saves time and makes it easier for you to see your website layout and how much content you need to send us. 

If you already have text and images we can use (i.e. from your social media pages, printed material such as flyers/leaflets, word documents etc), you can send this to us when we start the project and we can use the content to build the draft website from, saving time replacing the demo content later.

There are many ways you can send us content such as photos/videos for us to build the website with.

If it’s just a few photos, you can WhatsApp or Email them to us.

If it’s a large amount of files, we recommend WeTransfer.com or TransferNow.net.

Whether it’s us or you who hosts your website, you will always have full access to edit your own website.

We can supply a short screen recording video showing you how to carry out basic text and image changes, update products and more.

We will always be available to make the changes for you, charged hourly unless you’re on our Premium web hosting plan, which includes 1 hour of changes support a month from us.

Our websites are built to evolve over time.

Whether you start with a landing page website or a multi-page website, adding an e-commerce shop later on can be done without rebuilding the entire website.

Our team charges hourly for adding this option to your website and assisting with the online shop setup and integration with payment gateways.

For .co.uk and .com domains, we charge £15 + VAT / year.

If you’ve already got your domain, we can either connect your domain to our web hosting services so you can continue to renew your domain yourself on an annual basis, or you can transfer the domain to us so we manage it.

We always recommend securing both the .co.uk and .com domains for your business to secure the name from being taken by someone else who has a similar business. It’s also recommended because customers might type in .com instead of .co.uk and reach a different website, or email the wrong company.

If you would like to transfer your domain to us for easier management, you can send us your registrars login details and we can initiate the transfer from our end.

If it’s a .co.uk domain you want to transfer, we will provide you with an IPS tag in which you submit to your registrar and the transfer will automatically happen.

If it’s a .com domain you want to transfer, you will need to unlock the domain with your registrar and provide us with an Auth code. We will initiate the transfer and you will receive an email to complete the process.

Of course we will always transfer your domain out to you at any such time you wish to leave us for whatever reason.

We won’t hold on to domains for clients that wish to leave. You will need to choose a domain registrar of your choosing, such as GoDaddy, IONOS, Fasthosts, 123-Reg, create an account and initiate a domain transfer. We will then honour your request to get the transfer completed right away.

If we have an outstanding invoice for your domain registration / renewal, we will require payment to be completed before transferring the domain to you.

Having a business email that matches your website is important for brand recognition and security.

We recommend using either Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace for your business email as they’re the industry leaders and both services are the most supported around the world.

While Microsoft 365 is the most complete service due to direct integration with OneDrive, Word, Excel and Outlook, Google Workspace is a great option as it’s faster to setup and you’ll likely need a Google account for website services such as Google reCAPTCHA, Search Console, Analytics, Google Ads and more.

Our team can help connect your domain to one of the above services in order to create your business email accounts. You will always pay either Microsoft or Google directly for your email service and we will only charge for the time in setting up the service for you.

Web hosting is essentially a server powering your website online. Every website on the internet runs from a web server. Without it, your website will not be accessible online.

We offer two plans: Pro & Premium.

Pro is our most popular web hosting plan which suits most businesses needs, however for larger / e-commerce websites and clients who require regular website changes, Premium is best suited.

The web hosting plan doesn’t start until the website is built ready to go live, and you can pay monthly by direct debit by supplying us the bank sort code & account number, or choose to pay annually with a 25% discount.

Both web hosting plans come with the server to get your website online, SSL certificate installation, backend software updates to keep the website functioning, regular backups just incase the worst happens, and you’ll always have full admin access to the website backend in order to make edits.

You can read more about our plans here.

If you would like to host your own website instead of using our Web Hosting plans, you will need to purchase a server plan from a popular registrar/hosting company, and set it up ready for us to upload your website to it.

Once your website is live on your own web server, you will be responsible for managing the websites backend software such as the CMS, Theme & Plugins, as well as making changes to your website, and keeping the server online.

We can assist with future software updates even if you run your own web server, however we would charge hourly for all work, and cannot guarantee response times for support.

We don’t charge for the first hour of work to get your website online on your web server, however if the time goes over, we will let you know and charge hourly thereafter. Typically a website can be uploaded and setup on most popular servers within an hour.

Unless you have a good level of technical knowledge, we do not recommend hosting your own website.

If you do want to proceed with your own web hosting plan and are looking for the best-in-class service, we recommend WP Engine.

Switching web hosting providers is relatively easy depending on what you have setup on the web server. For a typical web hosting switch, we will need to take a backup copy of the website first, and then need access to the domain in order to re-point the website to our web server. 

Once the switch is complete, we will restore the website backup and then re-add any DNS records required for services such as business email.

If you are using business email that is included with your current web hosting package, it will be need to be discussed how best to migrate your business email to a service such as Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, before switching hosting provider.

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimisation. It’s essentially the process of optimising your website to give it the best chance of ranking higher on search engines for related keywords, for example; an electrician would want to get their website to the top of Google for keywords such as ’emergency electrician near me’.

Increasing your websites rank is not an easy or quick task and it comes with no guarantees as search engines (primarily Google) control the algorithms and ultimately the ranking positions.

SEO is made up of multiple methods, including but not limited to:

• Page Content
• Domain Authority
• Backlinks
• Reviews
• Social Media Presence
• Mobile-Responsiveness
• Page Speed

SEO is a long term strategy and process that once you get your website to the top ranking positions for your desired keywords, will pay dividend for any business.

Think about if you’re not running search ads in order to get your website straight at the top of Google, and your website isn’t naturally ranking beneath the ads section, you are rarely going to be found as users typically only check websites on the 1st page of search results.

Now imagine you work on your website and get it ranked number one on Google for your most popular service. Not only will your website traffic skyrocket, the amount of leads/sales will too and none of that extra traffic is costing you, unlike when you run pay-per-click ads.

Search engine rankings can never be guaranteed and any agency that claims to guarantee you the top positions are not credible be because they ultimately don’t have full control over the search engines.

An agency should explain that they can come up with an ongoing strategy to look at your website and how to optimise it over time to give it it’s best chance of ranking higher than it currently does.

PPC stands are for Pay-Per-Click. When running Pay-Per-Click Ads, you’re essentially promoting your business with advertising that costs you every time a user interacts with it. 

For PPC Ads on Google Search, you’re paying every time someone clicks your ad to land on your website. This is the quickest way to grow your business as you instantly are positioned high on Google Search for your chosen terms, and users are already searching for what your business offers.

For PPC Ads on Social Media, YouTube and other visual platforms, you’re typically paying for views as well as clicks. These are known as Display Ads, which are effective for businesses selling products online.

Running PPC Ads is in our opinion the most effective advertising method, as it gets you online right away, competing with existing advertisers. It gives you a fair shot at gaining visibility regardless of your budget.

We typically recommend clients don’t start paid advertising unless they are willing to budget at least £10-15 / day per platform, and are willing to run them medium-to-long term. This is because you do need a minimum level of budget to get enough engagement data and enough time to optimise the ads. A brand new campaign might start costing you £10 per conversion, but after 3-6 months of optimising the campaign, it could be much less. The longer you run ad campaigns for, the easier it is to see what’s working and what isn’t and to make adjustments accordingly.

Every business should be using paid advertising, even if they’re already high on the natural search results, in order to not miss out on potential customers and to protect against new businesses gaining customers who were looking for you.

Unless you have extensive knowledge running online ad campaigns, we do not recommend you manage your advertising campaigns yourself.

Advertising systems evolve regularly and you’ll need to understand new features and options to keep your campaign running smoothly.

Even if your Ad campaign is running well, it won’t stay that way forever without some type of management to keep the campaign ahead of new advertisers.

Having an agency manage your ads allows regular optimisation and helps prevent wastage of budget on keywords or traffic that isn’t working for your business.

We offer bespoke management plans, tailored to your budget requirements. Typically clients only require 1-2 hours a month management, however if your spend is over £1,500 a month, you will require further management.

Whether you run paid ads on Google, Meta or other platforms, you should always pay for your ads directly, and not pay the agency for your ad spend.

Reputable agencies will help setup your billing account within your advertising platform and will only bill you for their setup/management services.

This helps prevent an industry-wide problem of you having no admin control over your own advertising campaign, and agencies charging clients far more than their true ad spend.

When we onboard you as a client, we typically will login with you to your social accounts to check everything is setup correctly and once done, invite us as an agency partner so we have on-going access to your business pages through our own social media accounts, in order to post on your behalf or run ads.

This means we will never have access to your personal social media accounts and information.

When clients look to advertise using ads, they wonder how effective social ads can be. The truth is, it really depends on your business type and what you offer.

We typically recommend service businesses look at Google Ads first, as that attracts users who are already looking for your services, where as for e-commerce websites, social ads and/or display ads are much more effective, as it’s a want rather than a need.

A typical user searches for a product to buy after already knowing about it, i.e. Nike White Trainers, as oppose to searching for a local plumber. The only way the customer knows about a product is because they’ve seen it on a display ad before, i.e. Social Ad, YouTube, Display Ad, TV, etc.

We’re lucky enough to have worked with a wide range of clients on their businesses, meaning we’ve seen how other digital tools can help streamline processes and help their business exceed. 

We’ve listed some of our favourite recommended tools below and what they can offer you.
