Website prices vary widely. Here are the main factors that determine what you'll pay.
Your industry
A simple brochure site for a plumber costs less than a restaurant site with menus, booking, and event listings. The more your business needs from its website, the more it costs to build.
Number of pages
A 3-page site (home, about, contact) is significantly cheaper than a 10-page site with individual service pages, galleries, and a blog. More pages means more design, content, and development time.
Features you need
A contact form is usually included. But online booking, photo galleries, customer reviews, and e-commerce all add complexity and cost. Think about what your customers actually need to do on your site.
Ongoing costs people forget
The upfront build is just the start. Hosting, domain renewal, security updates, content changes, and maintenance all add up. Budget £100-400 per year on top of your build cost, or choose a provider that includes everything.

Common questions about how much a website costs in the UK.
How accurate is this website cost calculator? +
The estimates are based on typical UK market rates in 2026 across freelancers, agencies, and DIY platforms. They give you a realistic ballpark for budgeting, but actual costs vary depending on the provider you choose, how complex your requirements are, and your location.
What's the cheapest way to get a website for my small business? +
DIY website builders have the lowest monthly cost (around £12-35/month), but factor in the time you'll spend building and maintaining it. For many tradespeople, the hours spent learning to build a website could be spent earning. A managed service like Bink handles everything for a fixed monthly fee, so you can focus on your business.
How much does a tradesperson's website cost in the UK? +
A typical website for a plumber, electrician, or builder costs between £500 and £3,000 if you hire a freelancer or small agency, plus ongoing hosting and maintenance. DIY builders are cheaper upfront but cost you time. With Bink, it's £59/month with everything included and no upfront cost.
What hidden costs should I budget for? +
Many quotes don't include domain registration (around £10-15/year), hosting (£60-200/year), SSL certificates, ongoing maintenance, content updates, or security monitoring. These add up over time. Always ask what's included in the quote and what will cost extra down the line.
How much does website maintenance cost per month? +
If you hire a freelancer or agency to maintain your site, expect to pay £30-150/month for hosting, security updates, backups, and minor content changes. With DIY builders, you handle everything yourself. With Bink, maintenance, hosting, updates, and support are all included in the £59/month fee.
Do I really need a website for my business? +
Most customers search online before choosing a local business. A website gives you credibility, helps people find you, and makes it easy for them to get in touch. It's especially important for tradespeople and local services where trust and visibility matter. Read more about why local businesses need websites.
