Prices
Prices checked 11 November 2026. I'm not VAT registered, so there's no VAT on top. Every job includes one round of changes before it goes live. Extras are quoted first. Hosting is free, and your domain stays in your own name.
Checking and rebuilding
Website check report

Hosting and care plans
Hosting
FreeI host your site on my Cloudflare account and keep it online with the padlock (HTTPS). No monthly charge. You own the site and your domain, and you can move it any time: I hand over the files free.
Fair use: free hosting covers normal small-business traffic and storage. Heavy use, online shops or large media are quoted separately. I give 30 days' notice before any change.
Care plans, optional
Basic
£15a monthA monthly check, backups, security updates and 30 minutes of changes a month.
Professional
£45a monthEverything in Basic, with 90 minutes of changes a month in total (not 90 on top of Basic's 30), and your Google Business Profile hours and photos kept up to date.
Ultra
from £65a monthProfessional, plus a monthly Google profile post, a report every quarter, and support for booking and ordering set-ups.
Nobody has to buy a care plan. They run month to month with 30 days' notice. Unused minutes don't roll over.
Want to spread the cost? Ask me and we'll agree it before work starts.
How paying works
Unless your quote says otherwise, half is due before I start and half on go-live. You review the finished site on a preview link first.
Consumers buying online, by phone or away from my premises have 14 days to cancel. I only start within that period at your express written request. Cancellation charges and refunds depend on the work supplied and your legal rights. Full terms.
No monthly fees. Free hosting, and you own it.
Care plans are optional, for when you want me to make changes and keep things up to date.
The only running cost you'll always have is your own domain: about £10 to £15 a year, paid to your registrar. Email is extra if you want it.
Here is how that compares with the usual ways of getting a small website. An agency or a DIY builder is the right choice for some businesses.
| Who builds it | To build | To run | Typical 3-year total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical UK agency | £3,000 to £5,000 | Care plan, typically £50 to £200 a month | £4,800 to £6,800at £50 a month, the median entry plan |

Prices checked 11 November 2026. These are typical published figures, not quotes, and yours may differ. Totals are the build plus 36 months of running costs, and leave out the domain, which every option needs (Squarespace includes the first year on annual plans). Other providers may add VAT; I don't.
Sources: agency, freelancer, hosting and care plan figures from Whito, Website Design Costs UK 2026 (data last verified 19 October 2026). Squarespace from its own UK pricing page: Basic is £12 a month billed annually, or £16 paid monthly.
While places last
The first five clients
The first five clients who book a build get the £300 manual website check report included free, with no separate report payment upfront. If you've already paid for the report, the £300 comes off your build once.
I'll confirm whether a place is available in your written quote. This is limited to five clients in total. No review is required.
Same build prices and 50/50 payment terms.
