How much does a website cost in the UK?

Website prices in the UK vary wildly, which makes it hard to know what's fair. Here's a straight breakdown.

The typical ranges

  • DIY builders (Wix, Squarespace): free–£30/month, but the work — and the limits — are yours.
  • Freelancer template sites: £300–£1,500, quality varies a lot.
  • Custom agency websites: £2,000–£10,000+.
  • VERTISE: a fully custom site for a one-off £389, no monthly fees.

What you should get for the money

Whatever you pay, a good website should be custom (not an obvious template), mobile-first, fast, built with SEO foundations, and easy to update. You should also own it outright.

One-off vs ongoing

A website build is a one-off cost. Getting found — SEO, GEO, AEO and local ranking — is ongoing work; at VERTISE that's a separate £169/month growth package with no contract.

The cheapest option is rarely the best value. Look at what's included, whether it's truly custom, and whether it's built to convert visitors into enquiries.

FAQ

Why is your website only £389 when agencies charge thousands?

We've productised the build and use efficient, modern tooling, so we can deliver a genuinely custom site fast without the traditional agency overhead.

Are there hidden monthly fees?

No. The £389 build is a one-off. Ongoing growth (SEO/GEO/AEO) is a separate, optional £169/month package.
