Answer the first four
Pages, shop, design and integrations decide which type of site you're buying.
A site this simple could be built on a website builder, which Expert Market puts at £0 to £50 a month including hosting.
Copywriting is usually extra: £50 to £150 an hour from a UK writer (Expert Market), or $60 to $300 a page in the US (WebFX).
Replacing a site that ranks means redirecting every old URL to its new page. Ask whether the quote includes it, because a rebuild done with SEO in mind keeps the rankings the old site earned.
A rough steer, not a quote: the ranges are published market figures, cited in my website cost guide, and a real price needs someone to look at the project. My small business sites are built on a monthly plan from £899 ($1,199) a month with no setup fee, in Astro and hosted on Vercel. Larger sites and ecommerce are quoted.
How the estimate works
What drives the cost
Number of pages, whether you sell online, how custom the design is, and what the site has to connect to.
Published figures
The ranges are market figures from published sources, listed in my guide to website costs. They’re not my prices.
The costs after launch
Hosting, updates and getting the site found are separate from the build. Ask what’s included before comparing quotes.

02 Questions
What people ask
Why are the ranges so wide?
Because “a website” covers everything from a five-page brochure site to a custom shop. The questions narrow it down.
Do you build websites?
Yes, built to be found from the first day. See new builds.
Is a cheap template site a bad idea?
Not for a simple site. A template is fine when the content, structure and speed are right.
