What It Costs
Every project is quoted properly rather than picked off a tier list. Below is a planner that turns what you have in mind into a scope and a realistic build time, and sends it over as a brief.
You get a fixed price back within two working days. If the answer is that your project is smaller than you thought, that is what you will be told.
Four things, in order of weight.
How much of it there is
A single long page and a fifteen page site are different jobs. Page count is the first thing that moves a quote, and it is the easiest one to get wrong by guessing.
What has to work inside it
A contact form costs almost nothing. A booking system, a price calculator, or a 3D configurator is a piece of software, and it is priced like one.
Where the content comes from
If the photography, the copy, and the product information already exist, the project is shorter. If we are shooting and writing it, that is part of the build.
How fast you need it
A normal build runs over six to eight weeks. Compressing that is possible and costs more, because it means other work moves.
Conversation → Fixed price → Deposit → Design and build → Two rounds of changes → Launch
The questions everybody asks.
Why is there no price list
Because a page count is not a project. Two five page sites can differ by a factor of four depending on what has to work inside them. A number on this page would be wrong for most people reading it, so you get a fixed price for your actual project within two working days instead.
Is it a monthly fee
No. The build is a one off cost, split into a deposit and a balance on launch. Hosting on the setup we use is usually free or a few pounds a month, and it is in your name, not ours.
What if I want changes later
Ask, and you get a price for that piece of work. There is no retainer and no minimum term. Plenty of clients come back twice a year, some never need to.
Do you work outside Brighton
Yes. Roughly half the work is London and the rest is spread across the south. Filming is the only part that needs us in the room.
Who owns the site
You do. The code, the domain, and the hosting account are all in your name from launch. If you ever want to move it or hand it to somebody else, nothing is locked.
