How much does a website cost in Northamptonshire?
It is the first question almost every business owner asks — and the hardest to get a straight answer to. Here is an honest breakdown of what websites actually cost in 2026, what makes the price move, and how to tell whether a quote is fair.
Most sit between £500 and £10,000
For most small and medium businesses in Corby and across Northamptonshire, a website costs somewhere between £500 and £10,000. That is a wide range, and the reason is simple: “a website” can mean a single tidy page or a fully bespoke platform with bookings, payments and dozens of pages.
The price is not really about the number of pages. It is about how much of the work is bespoke — designed, written and built specifically for you — versus assembled quickly from a template. Once you understand that, quotes stop looking random and start making sense.
Starter / one-page sites: £500–£1,500. Multi-page business sites: £1,500–£4,000. Bespoke & e-commerce: £4,000–£10,000+.
What actually changes the price
When two quotes come back thousands of pounds apart, it is almost always because they describe different amounts of these things — not because one designer is greedy and the other is a bargain.
- Number of pages
- Custom vs template design
- Written-for-you copy
- Photography & visuals
- SEO foundations
- Booking or e-commerce
- Integrations & automation
- Ongoing support
What you get at each level
Starter & one-page sites — £500 to £1,500
A polished single page or a small three-to-five page site. Ideal for a new business that needs to look credible, be found and take enquiries. At the lower end you are often on a template; at the upper end you get a genuinely bespoke design and proper Google setup. This is where our Essential Website sits.
Multi-page business sites — £1,500 to £4,000
The sweet spot for most established local businesses. More pages, a structure built around enquiries or bookings, copy written to convert, and SEO foundations so you can actually rank. This is the level most web design projects land at, and where a site starts paying for itself.
Bespoke & e-commerce — £4,000 to £10,000+
Custom visual direction, advanced interactions, online shops, membership areas or integrations with the tools you already run your business on. The investment is larger because the build genuinely is — and for the right business, it returns far more than it costs.
The running costs nobody mentions
The build is a one-off. Keeping a website live is not. Before you compare quotes, make sure you know what recurs:
- Domain name — roughly £10–£15 a year for a .co.uk or .com.
- Hosting — around £5–£30 a month, or folded into a care plan.
- Maintenance & security — updates, backups and fixes so the site stays fast and safe.
- Content changes — new pages, seasonal offers, fresh photos.
A fair quote is upfront about all of this. If you would rather not think about it, our website maintenance plans cover hosting, updates and changes in one predictable monthly cost.
Our pricing, in plain figures
We keep our pricing transparent so you can see exactly where you would sit. Standard prices are £1,500 for an Essential site, £3,500 for a Growth site and £8,000+ for a bespoke Signature build.
Right now we are also offering five founding-client slots at 50% off while we build out our Corby portfolio — so a Growth site is £1,750 rather than £3,500 for those places. It is genuinely limited, not a permanent discount.
Every package, what is included and current founding prices are laid out on our pricing page. No hidden extras, no “from” prices that quietly triple.
How to tell if a quote is fair
You do not need to be technical to spot a good quote. Look for these five things before you sign anything.
- It separates one-off cost from monthly cost
- It says who owns the site and domain
- It is specific about pages and features
- It mentions SEO and mobile as standard
- It sets a clear timeline
- It explains what happens after launch
Website cost questions, answered
The things people in Corby and across Northamptonshire ask us most about budget.
01 How much does a small business website cost?
A simple, professional small-business site typically costs £500–£1,500. Multi-page sites built around enquiries and bookings usually run £1,500–£4,000, and bespoke or e-commerce builds start from around £4,000.
02 Why are quotes so different from one designer to another?
Price mostly reflects how much of the work is bespoke. A template filled in quickly costs far less than custom design, written-for-you copy, real SEO foundations and functionality such as booking or payments.
03 What are the ongoing costs of a website?
Expect a domain (around £10–£15 a year) and hosting (roughly £5–£30 a month, or included in a care plan). Maintenance, content changes and email hosting are optional extras a good quote will spell out.
04 Is a cheap website worth it?
Sometimes — a budget site can be a sensible start for a brand-new business. The risk is a generic, slow site that never gets found on Google, which quietly costs you enquiries. Value is about whether the site does a job, not the sticker price.
