How much does a website cost?

It's a genuine starting point, not a teaser. If your project matches what's listed - one page, a standard CMS site and so on - that's roughly what you'll pay. If it turns out to need more (extra integrations, more complex content, tighter deadlines), I'll tell you before any work starts, not after.

For most projects, it's 40% to book your dates and 60% on launch. Bigger projects, like custom builds and online shops, are split into three stages, so you're never paying for work that hasn't happened yet.

Extra rounds are billed at £30/hr, agreed before I start on them, so there are no surprise charges. In practice, most projects don't go over, because the earlier stages (scope and wireframes) are there to catch anything heading the wrong way before it becomes a problem.

I'll help structure and tidy up your words, but they should come from you - you know your business best. Images and logos are yours to provide, unless branding is part of the project. I can help you find stock photos too, but you'll need to buy the licences.

You get a full handover - files, fonts, licences and a walkthrough, so you're never locked in. If you'd rather not deal with updates yourself, a care plan covers that on a rolling monthly basis, with 4 weeks' notice to cancel.
