a guide to wordpress website design prices

Most businesses that come to us have already wasted money on a website that doesn't work. Either it was built on the cheap and looks it, or it cost a fortune and still doesn't bring in enquiries. This guide is here to help you avoid both mistakes. 

When you invest in a professionally built website, you're not paying for pretty pictures and a contact form. You're paying for something that works while you sleep - bringing in enquiries, building trust with people who've never heard of you and turning visitors into customers. 

That means you need someone who understands not just how to build a website, but why people buy. That combination of technical skill and commercial thinking is what separates a website that earns its keep from one that just sits there.

A bespoke site is built around your specific business goals rather than dropped into a pre-made template. It takes longer than an off-the-shelf solution and costs more upfront. But it's built to grow with you, it reflects your brand properly and it gives you something your competitors can't simply copy by using the same theme. 

Website design prices vary on the type of project, which is why we give firm quotes after a conversation rather than a menu of fixed prices. But to give you a sensible starting point: bespoke WordPress websites start from around £950, with more complex builds - including eCommerce and advanced functionality - typically falling in the range of £1,800 to £4,000.

If your budget is well below that, a bespoke build probably isn't the right fit for you yet, but you’re still welcome to get in touch and ask for some pointers or alternative recommendations.

If those numbers make sense for where your business is, a free consultation will tell you quickly whether we're the right people for the job and give you a clear, firm quote to work with.
