FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a business website cost?

A professional brochure website typically starts from £1,500–2,500. E-commerce stores with full product management and payment integration start from around £3,000. Bespoke web applications are scoped and priced individually. We provide fixed-price quotes after an initial brief — no hourly billing surprises.

How long does it take to build a website?

A brochure website typically takes 2–4 weeks from signed brief to launch. E-commerce projects are usually 4–8 weeks. Bespoke applications depend on scope. Timelines are driven largely by how quickly content and feedback is provided — we’ll agree a clear schedule upfront.

WordPress, Shopify, or custom — which is right for us?

WordPress suits most content-driven brochure and blog sites. Shopify is our recommendation for product-based e-commerce — it’s purpose-built for selling and handles payments, inventory, and fulfilment integrations well. Custom builds are for applications with specific workflows that no off-the-shelf platform handles properly.

Do you offer ongoing maintenance after the website is launched?

Yes. We offer monthly maintenance packages covering security updates, plugin/CMS updates, uptime monitoring, and minor content changes. Websites that aren’t maintained become security liabilities — especially WordPress sites with outdated plugins.

Can you redesign our existing website without rebuilding it from scratch?

Sometimes. It depends on what platform it’s built on and the current code quality. We’ll review what’s there and give you an honest recommendation — if a rebuild is the better option, we’ll explain why rather than just billing for more hours.
