COMMON QUESTIONS
How much does a website cost?
It's a one-off fee that scales with the project. A small brochure site starts from £395, a fuller small-business site around £695, and bigger builds with bespoke features (booking flows, custom forms, integrations) from £1,150. You get a fixed price up front after a quick chat — no hidden extras, no surprises. After that the site is yours, hosting is free, and there's nothing more to pay unless you ask for changes later.
Do I pay monthly? Is there a subscription?
No — and that's the whole point. You pay once for the build and the site is yours. Hosting is included free on a fast global CDN, so there are no monthly hosting bills. Your domain is registered in your own name (about £10/year, paid straight to the registrar — not me). No subscription, no contract, nothing to chase. If you want changes down the line, you just pay for that work as a one-off.
What if I need changes later?
Just send them over and I'll quote the work — pay-as-you-go, one job at a time. A new page, a seasonal update, a price or menu change, a fresh set of photos — you only pay when you actually want something done. No retainer sitting on your statement, no monthly fee for months where nothing changes. And because the site's hosted free, it stays online and fast in the meantime with nothing to pay.
Will my site rank on Google?
I build with the technical SEO foundations every site needs — fast load times, structured data, sitemap, mobile-first design. Long-term ranking depends on your content, your local presence and competition in your area, which I can advise on.
Can you redesign my existing site?
Absolutely. If you've got an old or tired-looking site I can rebuild it from scratch with a modern design, keep your existing content and URLs, and migrate everything over with no downtime.
Are you local?
Yes — I'm based in Harold Hill, Romford, and most of my customers are within a 15-mile radius. I'm happy to meet in person for the discovery call and pop in for any milestone review. Remote work also fine if you're further out.
Ready to talk about your website?
Free, no-pressure discovery call. Tell me what you have in mind and I'll come back with ideas and a fixed-price quote within 48 hours.
