The average UK small business spends between £1,500 and £6,000 on their first professional website, plus £500–£2,000 per year in running costs. These figures come from our comprehensive analysis of UK website pricing, drawing on data from ProfileTree, Media Village, and ProCopywriters.
The biggest cost driver is who builds it. A DIY site on Wix or Squarespace costs as little as £90 per year in platform fees, but demands 20–40 hours of your time and limits your SEO control. A freelancer charges £40–£70 per hour. An agency charges £60–£150 per hour but brings project management, QA testing, and design specialists.
For Cornwall businesses, we build websites from £500 for a one-page site to £3,000 for a full five-page business website with SEO. Every build includes mobile-first design, on-page optimisation, and Core Web Vitals performance as standard.
The hidden costs most quotes miss: domain registration (£10–£19/year), SSL certificate (£0–£100/year), professional email (£50–£130/year per user), and ongoing maintenance (£250–£600/year). Budget 15–25% of your initial build cost annually for maintenance — neglect this and security vulnerabilities will cost you more than the website did.
