Questions about prices
- What do I pay up front?
- The build price for your package: £499, £999 or £1,799, or a fixed quote for bespoke work. Half is paid to start and half when the site goes live.
- Do I have to take a monthly plan?
- Not for a website. Monthly plans are optional, and without one we hand the finished site over for you to host yourself. Systems and CRMs include £79 a month for hosting, security and backups.
- Can I switch plans later?
- Yes. Move up or down at any time, and cancel with 30 days' notice. No long contracts.
- Is ad spend included in the advertising price?
- No. The monthly fee covers setting up and running your ads. What you spend on the ads themselves is paid straight to Google or Meta, and you choose the budget.
- Are there hidden costs?
- No. Your domain is included in hosting. If something you ask for costs extra, such as a paid booking tool, we tell you before anything is bought.
