COMMON QUESTIONS
How much does a website cost?
The build fee scales with the project. A small-business brochure site of a few pages starts from a few hundred pounds; a corporate multi-page build with bespoke features (booking flows, custom forms, integrations, content management) typically runs into the low thousands. Whatever the size, you get a fixed price up front after the discovery call — no hidden extras. The annual service fee that follows is a flat structure covering your domain, hosting, security, ongoing maintenance and small tweaks for the whole year.
Is it a website I buy, or a service I subscribe to?
It's a fully managed service. The website, source code, hosting and domain all stay with Chiltern Computers — I look after every technical part of it (design, build, updates, security, performance, content tweaks). You pay a one-off design fee to get your site built, then a single annual fee that covers your domain registration plus all ongoing maintenance. No surprise dev costs, no renewal admin, no separate hosting bills — just a hand-coded site that stays modern, fast and online for as long as you want it, without you ever having to touch the technical side.
What about ongoing maintenance?
Maintenance is baked into the annual service fee — there's nothing extra to budget for. That covers security updates, performance tuning, small content tweaks, broken-link fixes, hosting renewals and a periodic check-in to make sure the site still fits the way your business is moving. If you ever want something bigger — a brand-new section, a major redesign, a new integration — I'll quote that as a separate fixed-price project on top, with no surprises.
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.
