Clear starting prices for small business websites, without pretending every project is exactly the same.

A typical website for a service-based business starts from £500. That is intended for businesses that need a clean, useful website with the core structure in place and a clear route for people to enquire.

Some projects stay close to that starting point. Others need more content, SEO setup, branding, integrations or custom functionality. The useful thing is to know what is included, what changes the scope and when a proper conversation is needed.

New service business websites from £500.

A typical starter website can include a homepage, service content, about or trust content, contact route, mobile responsive layout, basic metadata, simple internal links and launch checks.

For context, published UK pricing guides commonly put agency-built small business websites in the low-thousands, with regional agency projects often several thousand pounds once strategy, project management, design, build and revisions are included.

Payment is typically split half up front and half on completion. Payment plans can be discussed as an option where that makes more sense for the project.

Ad-hoc support such as design tweaks, copywriting, domain setup, business email setup or Google Business Profile help can be handled separately when a full website project is not needed.

Questions.

How much does a small business website start from?

A typical website for a service-based business starts from £500. That usually covers a clean, responsive website with core pages, clear content structure, basic SEO foundations, a contact route and launch checks.

What can increase the price?

The price can increase with extra pages, deeper SEO setup, custom branding elements, copywriting, booking or payment functionality, integrations, unusual layouts or anything that needs more custom development.

How is payment usually handled?

For typical website projects, payment is usually split half up front and half on completion. Payment plans can also be discussed where that makes more sense for the project.

How does this compare with agency pricing?

UK agency-built small business websites are commonly priced in the low-thousands, and regional agency projects are often several thousand pounds once strategy, project management, design, build and revisions are included. Working directly with a freelance developer can keep the cost lower for a focused service-business website.

Do custom apps use the same pricing?

No. Custom apps, portals and specialist business tools depend much more on the workflow, user roles, payments, data, integrations and admin features. For those, it is better to talk through the shape of the project first.

Do you offer support after launch?

Yes. Maintenance and support plans are available for ongoing development work, security monitoring, bug fixing, updates and practical improvements after the site is live.
