How much does a website cost?

The price of your project will depend on a number of factors:

  • The size of your project - i.e., number of pages.
  • The style of your project - a complex fully featured design, will take longer to build than a simple design.
  • How much of the website you want to be able to edit - editing just text, and static images will take less time to build than creating a full CMS functionality for galleries, video, and blog.
  • Additional scripts needed to run, for example, appointment schedulers, events, workshops, hotel reservations, holiday cottage bookings etc.

ALL WEBSITE PACKAGES INCLUDE:

  • Mobile Responsive Design

* Having a GDPR Privacy Policy that is personalised to your website, does not mean that you, or your business, are GDPR compliant. Any advice that I give is for recommendation only and you should always seek professional legal advice for your particular business You can find out more about GDPR from the ICO (the Information Commissioner's Office).
