What A Fixed-Price London Web Build Actually Includes — And Why It Stops Scope Creep

Your brief lands on our desk in Notting Hill. Within 48 hours you're sat across from the developer who'll build your site — not a project manager, not a sales team, the person writing your code. We scope it, price it fixed, and ship it on Next.js or Astro with SEO architecture baked in from commit one. No hourly billing means no incentive to drag timelines. No offshore handoffs means your brand decisions don't get lost in a Slack thread at 3am. Every build targets Lighthouse 90+ because Google's Core Web Vitals have been a ranking signal since 2021, and a slow site on WordPress is quietly bleeding your visibility every day. Your project gets a guaranteed timeline, a single point of contact, and a studio you can walk into when the details matter.

專案失敗的原因

Here's the thing about London web agencies -- they'll quote you £120,000 for a site that should cost £30,000 We've seen it dozens of times. Bloated account management teams, junior developers doing the actual work, and hourly billing that somehow expands to fill whatever budget you walked in with. Nobody's accountable for the final number because everyone's just logging time. And the worst part? You often can't tell until the invoice lands. The web development market in London is genuinely opaque, and agencies know it. So they pad. They add "discovery phases" and "stakeholder alignment workshops" that produce a 40-page PDF nobody reads. We've built over 50 sites and we know exactly what things cost to do properly -- which is why we work fixed-price. No hourly rates, no scope creep surprises, no account manager in the middle inflating everything they touch. Just a real number, upfront, before we start.
Your current agency built on WordPress and your Lighthouse score is sitting at 45 That's not a minor issue. Google's been using Core Web Vitals as a ranking signal since 2021, and a score that low is actively costing you search visibility every single day. Plus, visitors notice. A slow site -- especially on mobile -- kills trust faster than bad copy ever could. And the frustrating bit is it's usually fixable. It's just that most WordPress shops don't have the incentive to fix it.
You want someone you can actually sit down with Not a Slack thread at 2am, not a project manager in a different timezone interpreting your brief for a developer you've never spoken to. Brand decisions are nuanced. UX calls require real conversation. And honestly, those details get mangled in offshore handoffs -- the brief says one thing, the build delivers another, and you're three revisions deep before anyone admits there's a miscommunication.

常見問題

Where is your London office?

We're based in Notting Hill, London W11 -- so yes, we can actually meet. Whether that's a proper discovery workshop, a coffee to talk through a brief, or ongoing collaboration as your product evolves, face-to-face is always an option. We work with businesses across London regularly, but we've also delivered projects across the UK and internationally. Location's never been a blocker.

What tech stack do you use?

We build frontends in Next.js and Astro, backends on Supabase and Payload CMS, and we deploy on Vercel. Every project ships with a Lighthouse score above 90, structured data baked in, and Core Web Vitals that actually pass. That's not a bonus -- it's the baseline. And we don't build on WordPress. Full stop.

How much does web development cost in London?

Fixed-price, always. Marketing sites start at £8,000 and enterprise platforms go to £80,000 and beyond -- but whatever the number is, you'll know it before we start. No hourly billing, no "it depends on what comes up." You get a fixed price, a fixed timeline, and a site built to rank. That's pretty much the opposite of how most London agencies operate, which is honestly why clients come to us after a bad experience elsewhere.

Do you offer ongoing support?

Yes -- and most clients do. Once a build wraps up, we offer retained support packages from £1,500/month. That covers hosting management, performance monitoring, content updates, and ongoing SEO maintenance. So the site doesn't just launch well -- it stays that way. The real kicker is that we already know your codebase inside out, so there's no expensive handover to a third party who has to figure out how everything works.
