Web design prices for Cheshire businesses
Two numbers, nothing hidden. £399 to build it, £150 a month to keep it fast, secure and climbing on Google. Compare that with £1,500 to £5,000 from most Cheshire agencies, or £30 to £60 a month for a rented template you never own.
Three packages, by the size of the business

If you need more than five pages
Most local businesses do not. If you do, these are the only add-ons we sell.
Extra page
Written, designed and optimised like the rest of the site. Town pages and service pages are the usual reason.
Small shop add-on
Up to 50 products, card payments, delivery or click and collect, on the £399 website. Needs the care plan. For a full shop see the Shop package.
Online booking
Appointments or table bookings straight into your calendar, with email confirmations.
£399 plus care, or pay monthly?
Pay-monthly websites look cheap until you add it up and realise you never own the site. Here is the honest comparison.
| Over three years | Webdesign Cheshire | Typical pay-monthly template | Typical Cheshire agency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Build | £399 | £0 to £499 setup | £1,500 to £5,000 |
| Monthly | £150, includes edits, SEO and a new page every month | £30 to £60, hosting only | £60 to £150 hosting, edits billed hourly |
| Do you own it? | Yes, from day one | No, it stops when you stop paying | Usually yes |
| Local SEO work | Every month | None | Extra retainer, £300+ a month |
| Three-year total | £5,799 with 36 pages of new content | £1,080 to £2,659 for the same site you started with | £3,660 to £10,400 before any SEO |
Pricing questions
Can I pay the £399 in instalments?
Yes. Half when we start and half when the site goes live, or three monthly payments of £133.
Is VAT included?
The price you see is the price you pay. We do not add UK VAT. If your business is VAT registered, your accountant handles it under the reverse charge; if not, there is nothing extra to pay.
What happens if I cancel the care plan?
You give us one month's notice. We hand over the site files, domain and content, and help you move hosting. Nothing is held hostage.
Do you charge for the brief or the quote?
No. The brief form, the quote and the plan we send back are free, and there is no obligation.
