How much does a website cost in Norfolk?
From us, a proper website costs £950 for a single page, £2,200 for five to eight pages, or from £4,900 if it needs to take payments or bookings. The price is fixed before we start, and the first three months of looking after it are included. After that it's £29 to £129 a month, and you can stop whenever you like.
What each price gets you
- Signpost, £950. Everything on one page, an enquiry form that comes straight to your inbox, and your Google listing sorted. You send us the words. It takes about a week.
- Shopfront, £2,200. Five to eight pages, with the words written for you: opening times, maps, menus, and whatever else your customers look for. Set up to be found on Google in your area, and checked for speed and readability. It takes two to three weeks. Most small businesses choose this one.
- Storefront, from £4,900. Everything in Shopfront, plus card payments or bookings, or a small range of products, and we show you how to run it. Every shop and booking system is different, so we talk it through in writing before we quote. It takes four to five weeks.
Whichever you choose, it's built to work as well on a phone as on a computer, and to be easy for everyone to read and use.
What makes a website cost more
Mostly three things:
- How many pages. Each page beyond the package is £150.
- Who writes the words. With Signpost you send them. With Shopfront and Storefront, we write them for you.
- Taking money. Card payments and bookings need more building and more testing, which is why Storefront is quoted for each job.
You can also add moving your old site across (£250), freshening up how it looks and feels (£600), or a way to change the words yourself (£350, then £10 a month). Anything else is £65 an hour, quoted and paid up front.
What it costs once it's built
A website needs looking after: somewhere to live, the padlock in the address bar, your web address renewed, backups, and someone checking it still works. The first three months are included with every new website we build. After that, you choose a plan:
- Keeping it running, £29 a month. Backups, security, and your web address, with two small changes a month.
- Keeping it fresh, £59 a month. As many small changes as you need, seasonal updates, and one mailbox.
- Helping it grow, £129 a month. Two hours' proper work a month, three mailboxes, and your Google listing looked after.
Paying for a year costs the same as eleven months. Every plan includes a standard web address renewed in your name, regular backups that we test, and a real test enquiry every month, so your form never quietly stops working.
How you pay
Half when you say yes, and the rest before the site goes live, all by card. What you're quoted is what you pay, and nothing is added afterwards. If we haven't started work, you can have your deposit back in full within seven days.
What to ask any web designer
Whoever you choose, ask these before you pay:
- Is the price fixed, and is it in writing?
- What will it cost each year once it's built, and what does that include?
- Is the web address registered in my name?
- If I ever move my website elsewhere, what do I get, and how quickly?
- Who writes the words, and who supplies the photos?
Our answers: yes, in writing within two working days; £29 to £129 a month, as above; yes, always; everything, handed over within five working days, free; and the words are ours to write from Shopfront up, while the photos are usually yours.
