Most boutique studios won’t publish a price. They’ll say “get a quote.” I think that’s daft. Here are the six tiers. Each one’s a real number. Builds are split half deposit, half on launch — the deposit figure is next to the price so there are no surprises at checkout.
A single focused fix on a site that mostly works. About half a day. Live within five working days.
Not included. Full site rebuilds. Ongoing changes (use Hosting for those).
A one or two page site that does the job properly. For businesses who need somewhere real to point people, not a brochure.
Not included. Multi-service page structures — if you need a page per service, that's Standard.
Up to four pages, room to explain what you actually do. The size most small businesses land on.
Not included. Per-area or per-service landing pages beyond the four — those live in Premium.
Up to six pages with the search work done properly. For businesses competing on Google rather than just existing on it.
Not included. E-commerce over 50 products. Membership / forum sites. Brand identity from scratch (I can refresh; full identity is a different job).
Keep your site fast, secure, backed up, and slightly evolving. Cancel any time.
Not included. New pages, new sections, new features (those are paid changes).
Hosting + ongoing growth work. For businesses pushing for organic search and steady content additions.
Founding rate. Pro is normally £129 a month. The first ten sites to take it pay £75 — and keep £75 for as long as they stay on the plan, so it doesn’t creep up on you a year down the line. Once the ten are gone it goes back to £129.
Not included. Same as Hosting (no new builds without scope).
Six pages covers most businesses. If yours needs more, it’s £175 for each page from the seventh onwards — counted at brief stage and added to the tier price before you pay anything, not discovered halfway through and billed after.
Some jobs don’t fit a ladder — a real shop with stock and payments, a booking system with rules, anything carrying regulated or legal weight. Those I quote separately, in writing, before a penny moves. I’d rather tell you it’s a different job than squeeze it into Premium and do it badly.
Most studios won’t publish a list like this. I think it’s useful — for both of us. If your project is on the list, please don’t take it as a knock; it just isn’t a fit for the shape this studio is.
Shopify will treat you better than I will at that scale.
Circle, Mighty Networks and Discord exist, are cheaper, and do it properly.
Different job. I build the shop. I don't stand outside it shouting.
“See what happens” isn't a goal, it's a weather forecast. I work from bookings, sales or enquiries — something countable.
If you need to put me through procurement, you need a bigger studio than this.
The whole build takes five days. Some studios would still be agreeing the agenda. If you want the long run-up, that's a legitimate way to work — it just isn't this one.
Hate groups, scams, fake-review operations, gambling, payday loans, MLMs, predatory diet-industry stuff, anything illegal under UK law. The sensible ones.
Quick wins are paid in full up front — a single Stripe link, takes 30 seconds.
Full sites are split in half: £375 on Starter, £600 on Standard, £975 on Premium secures the build slot, and the balance is due on launch. Both halves via Stripe, and you get a proper invoice for each.
Extra pages beyond the sixth are £175 each. They get counted at brief stage and folded into the tier price, so the deposit you pay is half of the real total — there is no separate bill arriving later.
Five working days.The only thing that’s ever made a build late is waiting on the client, so I ask for everything up front — copy, photos, logo, logins. The clock starts when I’ve got the lot.
Hosting bills monthly in advance. Cancel any time — rolling monthly, no notice period, no contract.
I’m a UK sole trader and currently below the VAT threshold, so prices include no VAT and there’s nothing to add.
