How it works & pricing

Simple pricing, explained properly.

Two options, both starting with a free mock-up. I'll always tell you the price upfront — no hidden fees, no surprise invoices.

Managed suits you if you'd rather not deal with hosting, updates or fixes, and you like having someone to call when you want a change made.

Build only suits you if you're happy managing your own hosting and updates, or you already have someone who does that for you.

What's not included

  • With Build only, the cost of your domain and hosting is not included — those are paid directly by you.
  • Copywriting beyond the pages we agree together. I'll happily work with text you provide, or quote separately if you'd like me to write more.
  • Photography. If you need photos taken, I can point you to local people rather than include it in the price.

There are no hidden fees. The price we agree is the price you pay.

Free mock-up, always

I'll show you a free mock-up before you commit to anything. You see the design first — then you decide.

Typical timeline

Most sites take around two weeks, though it varies from client to client depending on what you want and how quickly you're able to get your content to me.

Pricing questions

How much does a website cost in Ipswich?

Honestly: £500 upfront plus £150 a month for Managed, or £600 one-off for Build only. There's no clever pricing or hidden extras — those are the numbers, and I'll confirm everything in writing before we start.

How long does it take?

Usually around two weeks. It varies depending on what you want and how quickly you get content to me, and I'll give you a realistic date up front.

Do I own my website?

Yes. You own your website and your domain, whichever option you choose. If you ever want to move on, I'll hand everything over.

What if I want to leave the monthly plan?

That's fine. The monthly plan needs two weeks' notice. You keep your website and domain, and I'll help you move it if you want to.

Can we meet in person?

Yes. I'm based in Ipswich and happy to meet locally — whether that's in town, or out towards Kesgrave, Woodbridge, Felixstowe or Stowmarket.

Still not sure which option fits?

That's exactly what the free call is for. Tell me about your business and I'll point you the right way — even if that means no website at all.
