It’s no secret that website design and development costs can vary greatly.

In fact, the cost of a website can range from a few hundred pounds to several thousand, depending on various factors such as the size and complexity of the site, the level of customisation required, and whether you’re using a web design agency or freelancer.

How much it would cost to get a website up and running?

So, if you’re wondering how much it would cost to get a website up and running, here is a rough guide from the web design experts at XIST2 to give you an idea:

  • Simple template-based website cost:
    For a template-based website, you can expect to pay around £1,500-£3,000. This would typically include up to 10 pages of content, a basic contact form, and perhaps a simple blog or news section.
  • Custom website design and build cost:
    If you need a more complex website with dynamic content, a bespoke design, integrated forms with your CRM then you can expect to pay in the region of £7,000 – £20,000+.
  • Custom eCommerce website cost:
    For a large-scale eCommerce store you would typically be looking at prices between £15,000 – £50,000.

Of course, these are just general guide prices and your actual website costs will depend on your specific requirements.

If you’re looking to get a website developed in the UK, be sure to get quotes from a few different web design agencies or freelancers to get a fair idea of what the final cost will be for building a website.

How much does a website in the UK cost?

As you can see, the cost of a website in the UK can vary widely depending on your specific requirements.

You will also need to factor in the experience of the team you want to hire, their geographic location – for example, are you happy conducting meetings over Zoom? – and whether you get on with each other.

That’s why you should put together a shortlist of who you want to work with and arrange meetings. If you want to work with experts in web design and SEO in Oxford, then XIST2 should be your first port of call.

You will need to see previous examples of work and ask for customer testimonials.

This last point is really important because while you may be shopping around on cost alone, you will need to work closely with your web designers and have a site that works for you.
