Our Pay Monthly Website: Pricing Explained
If you're a small business owner looking to get more leads online, chances are you've looked into getting a proper website. And if you've done that, you've probably noticed one thing right away, websites can be expensive.
Done properly, a 5-page website will usually cost at least £3,000 upfront. That’s because it’s not just about throwing something together. You need to create a design that converts your visitors into enquiries, and your visitors could be very different to another companies visitors.
You then need to develop the website so that it loads quickly, can be easily interpreted by a search engine, is accessible to all users and matches the initial design. That all takes time, care, and skill.
Let’s break down the traditional route, and see how it compares to what we offer through our pay monthly website subscription.
What You’d Pay Upfront
A high-quality, professionally developed 5-page website with us costs £3,299 if you’re paying upfront, and then £99 per page if 5 isn't enough for you. You’ll then either need to organise hosting yourself, or we can do it for £39 per month. If you’re handling hosting on your own, it’s important to choose a provider with strong coverage, fast servers, and robust security. Your website’s speed, uptime and protection all depend on the quality of your hosting, so it’s not something to cut corners on.
We design all our websites using a leading tool called Figma, which is used by most web designers and agencies. That’s where we nail the look and feel of your site, making sure it reflects the premium quality of your business. Once you’ve signed off on the design, we develop it ourselves, by hand.
We don’t rely on drag-and-drop builders or clunky algorithms. Instead, we write every line of code in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript ourselves, the same languages used behind the scenes by every website. The difference is, we write it directly.
When you use a website builder, it has to load code for the builder itself, code for the tool that builds your site, and then finally the code for the site itself. That’s a lot of unnecessary weight. We skip all that and just write the final code, ensuring it's clean and efficient, exactly how it should be. It means faster load times, better performance, and far fewer issues down the line.
Just like with cars, appearances can be deceiving. It’s what’s underneath that affects performance. A great website is the same, it’s not just about how it looks, it’s how fast it loads, how smooth it feels, and how reliable it is. That’s why we build everything ourselves, so we can make sure it’s built properly.
Even Great Websites Age
Here’s the first issue with paying upfront: even the best website in 2025 will probably look tired by 2028. Things move fast. Design trends change, technologies shift, and your business evolves too. On top of that, websites need regular updates – new photos, testimonials, services, pricing, or even just keeping your team page current.
If you’ve bought your website upfront, you’ll need to pay someone to make those changes. Most agencies charge a minimum of one hour per change, even if it takes 10 seconds, and the hourly rate usually sits somewhere between £70 and £100.
And that adds up.
What It Actually Costs Over Time
Let’s look at what a typical small business ends up paying over 3 years with a traditional setup:
- Website: £3,299
- Hosting: £39/month = £1,404 over 3 years
- Edits: 1 per month on average, at £70-100 per hour = £2,520 - £3,600 over 3 years
That’s a total of £7,223 - £8,303 for a 5-page website with a few updates.
Now let’s compare that to our subscription:
Our Pay Monthly Website Package
For £179 per month, you get everything:
- A professionally designed 5-page website
- Custom-built, coded by hand in-house
- Fully hosted and maintained
- Unlimited edits and changes
- A full website redesign every 3 years
Over 3 years, that comes to £6,444. That’s £779 - £1,859 less than the typical cost of doing things the old way, not to mention the fact you could need more changes.
Plus, there’s no upfront fee, and no nasty surprises when you need something updated. Whether it’s a simple wording tweak or a new service added, it’s all covered.
Why We Offer This
We created this pricing model because we love to work with passionate small business owners. The kinds of people who are great at what they do but don’t necessarily have thousands sitting around to spend on a website (because who does in today's economic climate). People who just want something that works really well for their business, something that gets them enquiries, runs smoothly, looks great, and doesn’t cost a fortune to maintain.
Our subscription lets you spread the cost over time and know exactly what you’re getting each month. It means your website stays up to date and continues to reflect the high standards of your business.
And after 3 years when the time comes, you’ll get a full redesign at no extra cost, so your site never falls behind the curve.
Final Thoughts
Getting a website shouldn’t mean emptying your savings or settling for something cheap and clunky. It should be a smart investment, one that grows with your business, adapts as you need it to, and always gives the right first impression.
That’s what our monthly website package is designed to do.
If you’re a business owner who wants a website that delivers results but doesn’t want to fork out thousands upfront, our monthly option could be just what you need.
