Typical UK agency price bands
- Business website (5 to 15 pages, CMS, forms, SEO foundations): £2,500–£10,000.
- Corporate website (bespoke design, several audiences, integrations, two languages): £14,000–£30,000.
- Online shop (Shopify, WooCommerce or custom, payments, shipping, product SEO): £5,000–£12,000.
- Mobile app (iOS and Android): £10,000–£60,000, and often more for complex products.

What actually drives the cost
- Number of unique page designs, not just the number of pages.
- Content: whether you supply text and photos or need copywriting and photography.
- Features: booking, quotes, member areas, multiple languages, integrations with CRM or accounting software.
- E-commerce: number of products, variants, shipping rules and payment methods.
- Ongoing work: hosting, updates, security, SEO and content each month.
The hidden costs to ask about
Many low quotes leave out hosting, SSL, backups, plugin licences, content migration, redirects from the old site, or training. Ask every supplier what happens after launch, who owns the site and domain, and what a small change costs.
How to compare quotes
- Compare the total for the first two years, not just the setup fee.
- Check what is included in the monthly fee and how many hours of changes you get.
- Ask for live examples and a clear timeline.
- Make sure you own the website, content and domain once you have paid.
