HOW MUCH DOES A WEBSITE COST IN THE UK IN 2026?
If you've been researching website costs, you've probably seen quotes ranging from £500 to £50,000+. The truth is, website pricing depends entirely on what you need – and most agencies won't give you a straight answer until you've sat through a sales call.
We believe in absolute transparency. That's why we've built this system to give you an honest estimate upfront, based on our hourly rate of £130 + VAT

AGENCY VS. FREELANCER VS. DIY
DIY Website Builders (Cost: £150 – £500/year): Cheapest option. Quick to set up. But you look like everyone else, with poor SEO capabilities and zero professional support.
Freelancer (Cost: £500 – £5,000): More affordable than agencies. However, quality varies wildly, they rarely possess both design and dev skills, and they often disappear after launch.
Kickass Online (Cost: £2,500 – £50,000+): A full team of operational specialists. Proven processes, ongoing SLA support, and strategic architecture engineered to actually generate revenue.
