How Much Does a Small Business Website Cost in the UK?
If you are planning a new business website, one of the first questions is usually: how much will it cost? The answer depends on the number of pages, the features you need and whether you want to sell online. This guide explains the main costs in clear, practical terms.
Typical small business website costs
A straightforward brochure website usually costs less than an ecommerce site because it needs fewer features. At CSWebs, our current starting packages are:
- Basic website – £100: up to three pages, mobile-friendly design, contact details and social links.
- Website and shop – £200: up to three pages with WooCommerce setup, mobile-friendly design and customer contact information.
- Premium ecommerce website – £400: up to ten pages, a WooCommerce shop and launch support.
These packages provide a clear starting point. Extra pages, specialist booking tools, memberships, large product catalogues, paid plugins or complex delivery rules may increase the final price.
What affects the price of a website?
Number of pages
A small site with Home, About and Contact pages takes less time to plan and build than a larger site with individual service pages, case studies, FAQs and legal information.
Online shop features
WooCommerce adds products, a basket, checkout, payments and order management. Product variations, delivery zones, discount codes and stock control can require additional setup.
Content and images
You can reduce costs by supplying clear text, good-quality images, your logo and accurate contact details. If you need help writing content or preparing graphics, include that in your quote request.
Hosting, domains and paid tools
Your domain name and website hosting normally have ongoing renewal costs. Some specialist plugins, booking systems or payment services may also charge separately. A professional quote should make these costs clear before work starts.
What should a professional website include?
- A design that works on phones, tablets and computers
- Clear navigation and contact information
- Fast, secure and reliable WordPress foundations
- Search-friendly page titles and descriptions
- Calls to action that tell visitors what to do next
- Privacy and business information appropriate to the site
Can I update the website myself?
Yes. WordPress makes it possible to edit text, images and pages without rebuilding the whole site. WooCommerce also provides a dashboard for products and orders. CSWebs builds websites to be practical for their owners and can provide ongoing support when required.
How do I get an accurate quote?
Write down the pages you need, the main goal of the website and any special functions such as online payments, delivery options or booking forms. Sharing examples of websites you like can also help explain the style you want.
