How much does a new business website cost?
A marketing site -- typically 5 to 10 pages -- starts somewhere between £5,000 and £12,000. E-commerce builds with product catalogues and checkout flow run £12,000 to £25,000. Custom web applications with user accounts and complex logic start at £25,000 and go up from there depending on scope. Every engagement includes SEO setup, JSON-LD schema markup, and Google Search Console submission from day one -- not as an afterthought.
How long does it take to build a new business website?
A standard marketing site takes 3 to 4 weeks. E-commerce projects run 4 to 6 weeks. Complex applications typically need 6 to 12 weeks. We set a fixed timeline at the start -- actual dates, not vague estimates -- and we stick to it. No scope creep, no "just a couple more days" stretching into a month.
Do you build on WordPress?
No. We build on Next.js and Astro, which hit Lighthouse scores of 90+ pretty much out of the box. WordPress sites -- in our experience -- tend to land between 45 and 65 and need constant plugin management just to stay functional. Faster load times, better security, and stronger rankings. It's not even close.
What about SEO for my new site?
SEO isn't something we bolt on at the end -- it's baked into how we build. Every page ships with proper metadata, JSON-LD schema markup, a sitemap, canonical URLs, and Core Web Vitals optimisation already sorted. Google Search Console gets set up before launch, not after. And beyond the technical side, we'll give you a keyword strategy and content calendar so you've actually got a plan for growing organic traffic once the site's live.
Can you help with branding too?
Yes. If you're starting from scratch, we've got full brand launch packages that cover naming, trademark registration, logo design, visual identity, and the website itself. Already have branding locked in? Then we focus purely on the website and SEO. Either way, there's a clear starting point -- and if you need the full package, take a look at our brand launch service for the details.
