Search for “website design cost UK” and you will see quotes ranging from £200 on freelancer marketplaces to £15,000 from London digital agencies. For a small business, where does the sensible middle ground lie?
The £200 template trap
Cheap freelance builds often dump your text into a bloated pre-made template that takes 6 seconds to load and breaks the first time WordPress updates. You get zero SEO setup and zero ongoing support.
The £5,000+ agency markup
Big agencies have Account Managers, Creative Directors, and swanky city offices to pay for. Much of what you’re paying for is their overhead, not your website.
The honest range: £600 to £2,000
For most UK small businesses, a bespoke 4 to 8-page WordPress website should cost between £600 and £2,000. It should be fast, mobile-friendly, include SEO foundations, and be hosted by the team that built it.
