How our £30/hour pricing works
Low cost website design for small businesses starts with knowing the price before you commit. Our web design pricing is the same in Bristol, Bath and across the UK: one £30 hourly rate, and a written estimate you approve before work starts.
- Discuss your needs. Tell us what you need by phone, email or video call. Near Bristol, we can meet in person. We reply within 1 working day.
- Get your estimate and plan. An itemised estimate in hours, with the total cost and a timeline, within 2 working days. That total is the most you’ll pay.
- We get to work. Pay 50% of the estimate to book, then we do the work and keep you updated.
- Receive your detailed bill. Your bill shows the hours used, line by line. You pay the balance at launch, never more than the estimate.
What “never over your estimate” means
We may come in under budget, but never over.
An example: 20 hours, so up to £600
The work took 17.5 hours, so you pay £525, which is £75 less than the estimate. Your quote shows the hours for your own project.

The four rules we work to
Your estimate is the most you pay for the agreed work.
It’s in writing, in hours and pounds, before we start.
If we finish early, you pay less.
You’re billed only for the hours we use.
If the agreed work takes longer, that’s on us.
The extra time comes out of our pocket, not yours.
Anything new gets its own estimate.
We only start on it once you’ve said yes by email.

What the hourly rate doesn’t cover
Anything we buy from someone else is passed on at cost and named in your estimate.
Once paid in full, your website, content, domain and ad accounts are yours.
| Cost | How you pay |
|---|---|
| Domain name | At cost, named in your estimate |
| Hosting | From £8 a month, or included in any Care plan. See low cost website hosting |
| Premium plugins | At cost, named in your estimate |
| Other third-party costs, like paid stock photos or fonts | At cost, named in your estimate |
| Google Ads spend | Straight to Google, from your own account |
Low cost website design, without the catch
Low cost doesn’t have to mean cheap web design that cuts corners. Here’s how our pricing compares.
| Hourly with a cap (how we work) | Fixed price | Retainer with a contract | |
|---|---|---|---|
| If the work runs over | We cover it | The agency does, so prices may include a buffer | Often billed as extra hours |
| If the work is quick | You pay less | You pay the full price | You pay the same each month |
| Tie-in | None | Usually none | Often a minimum term |
| Can you see the hours? | Yes, line by line | Not usually | Sometimes, in a report |
The same rules apply to a one-page website and a full online shop. To see how we can charge £30 an hour, read why we price this way.
Questions about our pricing
What if the work takes longer than estimated?
You still pay no more than your estimate for the agreed work. If the job takes us longer than planned, the extra time is on us. If you ask for something new along the way, we’ll estimate it separately and only start once you’ve said yes by email.
What if it takes less time?
You pay less. You’re billed only for the hours we actually use, shown line by line on your bill. In our example, a 20-hour estimate of up to £600 took 17.5 hours, so you’d pay £525. Any time we save comes off your bill.
Do I pay anything upfront?
Yes. For websites, you pay 50% of the estimate to book. The balance is due at launch, based on the hours we actually used, and it’s never more than the estimate. Monthly plans, like SEO, Google Ads management or care, are billed monthly in advance.
Are there monthly fees or contracts?
Only if you choose ongoing help, and there’s never a contract or tie-in. Websites are a one-off cost. Hosting, care, SEO and Google Ads management are monthly plans, billed in advance. There’s no minimum term, and you can stop with 30 days’ notice.
Is cheap website design worth it?
Cheap website design is worth it when the price is low because the work is lean, not because corners are cut. When you compare quotes for affordable web design for a small business, check who owns the site, whether hosting and a working contact form are included, and what each change costs later. Our Starter website is £420 for up to 5 pages, and you own everything. If you want affordable website design in Bristol or Bath, see what a website costs in Bristol and Bath.
Do you offer free website design?
No. Even low cost website design is paid work, at £30 an hour, and our Starter website is £420 for up to 5 pages. What is free: your written quote, our website cost calculator and our website brief template. Free website builders exist too, but with those you design the site yourself.
How do you track the hours?
We log the time we spend on your project, and your bill shows it line by line. It breaks down the hours worked and the total cost, so you can check every figure yourself. If anything looks unclear, just ask and we’ll explain it.
