Cost and ownership
How much does a custom website cost?
Every website is different, so pricing is bespoke and based on what you need and the platform we build on, whether that is our own Nova CMS, WordPress, Wix, Squarespace or another. We agree a clear, fixed price with you up front, with no hidden extras. As a guide, a website on our own Nova CMS can be bought outright from £588 plus VAT for a one-page site, or rented from £49 a month. Tell us what you need and we will come back with a tailored quote.
Do I own the website you build?
Yes, when you buy it. A website you buy outright is yours once it is complete. Pricing is agreed up front, with a clear plan and a fixed price before any work begins. A website on our own Nova CMS can be bought outright from £588 plus VAT for a one-page site, and bigger custom builds are quoted individually.
Will I own my website and the code?
Yes. With a bespoke build you buy, you own the website, the content and the data. If you ever choose to work with someone else, you keep everything we have built for you.
What is the difference between a custom website and a rental website?
A custom website is designed and built specifically for you, and you own it once you buy it. A rental website is a professional site you pay for monthly, with your first 3 months payable up front to start the build, ideal for getting online quickly at a lower cost. You use a rented site while you rent it and own it if you buy it outright. We offer both and will give you honest advice on which fits your needs and budget.
What we build
Can you build web apps and online systems, not just websites?
Yes. As well as websites, we build web applications such as portals, dashboards, booking and quoting tools, member areas and bespoke systems. If you need something that does a specific job in the browser, tell us what it has to do and we will scope how to build it.
Do you redesign or rebuild existing websites?
Yes. We regularly rebuild sites that are slow, dated, insecure or hard to manage, moving them onto modern foundations and carrying your content across carefully. We will review what you have, tell you honestly what is worth keeping, and build you something faster and easier to run.
Can you integrate my website with other tools?
Yes. We connect websites to the systems you already use, such as payment providers, booking platforms, email marketing and your CRM, so information flows automatically rather than being rekeyed by hand. Tell us what you use and we will work out the right way to join it up.
How long does a website development project take?
It depends entirely on the scope. A straightforward site can be built quickly, while a larger bespoke project or web app takes longer. We give you a realistic timescale once we understand what is involved, and keep you updated throughout so you always know where things stand.
After launch
Will my new website be fast and secure?
Yes. Speed and security are built into every project, with secure UK hosting, SSL, backups and clean, efficient code as standard. A fast, secure site is better for your customers and for Google, so we treat it as a foundation rather than an optional extra.
Will my website be set up for SEO?
Yes. Every build includes the SEO basics, a clean structure, fast pages and the right technical setup, so Google can understand and rank your site. For businesses that want to compete harder in search, we also offer full SEO services to build on that strong foundation.
Do you provide support after the site goes live?
Yes. We offer ongoing website management to keep your site secure, updated, backed up and running fast, and to make changes as your business grows. You get a UK team that knows your site and is easy to reach, rather than being left on your own after launch.
