A small business website in the UK can cost anything from a few hundred pounds for a DIY template to many thousands for a large custom build. The price depends on the number of pages, who writes the copy, custom features and ongoing support. Foxstern websites start from £1,500 plus VAT.
Why Website Prices Vary So Much
Ask five agencies for a quote and you’ll get five very different numbers. That’s mostly because “a website” can mean anything from a single page on a builder to a fully custom site with bookings, payments and integrations.
The question isn’t really “how much?” but “what will it bring in?”. A cheap site that nobody contacts you through is the most expensive option of all.
What Affects the Cost of a Website
Number of pages
Each service and area you want to rank for usually needs its own page.
Copywriting
Professionally written copy costs more than writing it yourself, and usually converts better.
Design approach
A template is cheaper. A tailored design takes longer and fits your brand properly.
Features
Bookings, payments, calculators and CRM integrations all add time.
SEO setup
Speed, structure and schema done properly at the start saves money later.
Support
Updates, security and fixes after launch, monthly or bundled.
