Common online marketing mistakes. #2 Paying too much for a basic website

The cost of a website will vary depending on a number of factors including:

Whether the site is a basic brochure and information site

Whether the site allows direct purchases on the site

Whether there is any advanced functions needed like calculators, download assets, surveys

Whether any custom coding is needed

Whether any custom graphics, logo or animation is needed

Whether stock or custom images / video is needed

Whether you need someone to write the text for the site

What data you want to track from the site

Where you are in the UK

However, all things being equal, you should expect to pay between £600 and £1500 for a basic brochure website across 6 pages, designed and built

by an established web design company with a solid track record. This does not include website hosting or VAT.

Things you should look for when getting website quotes:

Portfolio of good quality work

Positive reviews on a verified platform like TrustPilot or Google

Fast and professional response to your request for a quote

Length of time they have been in business
