How much does a website cost for a small business?

What is the difference between Groundwork and Lead Engine?
+
Groundwork is a credible, fast website of up to 5 pages with SEO basics, live in 7 days*. Lead Engine is a custom build of up to 15 pages with a page for each service, local SEO foundations and a blog, live in 1–2 weeks*. *From receiving your content, logins and design approval. Timescales assume feedback within 2 working days.
How do I pay for my website?
+
You pay a 50% deposit to book your slot and the remaining 50% at launch. The price is fixed and agreed in writing before any work starts, so there are no surprise invoices.
Do you charge VAT?
+
No. We are not VAT registered, so no VAT is added to the prices shown.
Are there any monthly fees?
+
Only if you choose them. Hosting and care is £39 a month, rolling monthly, and covers hosting, SSL, domain renewal, backups, updates, small edits and 1 business email mailbox. Monthly local SEO starts from £249 a month.
What happens after the free first year of domain and email?
+
Your domain renewal and 1 mailbox are included in the £39 hosting and care plan. Extra mailboxes, or mailboxes without the care plan, are £5 per mailbox per month.
What if I need more pages?
+
Extra pages are £150 each, agreed in writing before we add them, so your package price never creeps up without you agreeing. E-commerce and booking systems are quoted separately.
Do I own my website?
+
Yes. Once the final invoice is paid, your website, its content and your domain belong to you. We register the domain in your name from day one, and if you ever leave we transfer it and hand over the site.
