Published website prices

Website prices without the mystery

I am proud to publish my rates before you have to sit through a sales call.

You should be able to see whether a website is realistically within budget before getting in touch. These are my typical prices for straightforward Squarespace projects, with smaller jobs and support charged at the same open hourly rate.

Transparent pricing from the start

My standard website prices

No agency-style price anchoring (where they casually state really high prices but quote a bit less so you think it's a great price) and no trying to work out the maximum you might pay. We agree what the job involves, I confirm the cost, and you decide if it fits your budget.

Every project is confirmed in writing before work begins. If your requirements sit outside a typical build, I will explain why and quote clearly rather than surprising you later.

Useful work is part of the job

Website terminology can make a simple project sound unnecessarily vague. These checklists show what I normally mean by a typical website and an ecommerce website.

The exact number of service pages, products and other content is agreed in your quote, so you will know what I am building before we start.

What my clients say

Feedback shared by clients on Google after working with me on their websites and ongoing support.

Google review★★★★★

I have worked alongside Rob since last year when I asked him to design my website for my new chocolate business - Sarah Jane Chocolatier. Rob has been fantastic, and I can't thank him enough for giving me such great advice and guidance during the design process. I am absolutely thrilled with my new website. The branding, colour scheme and imagery perfectly reflect my business and I have received complimentary feedback from many of my customers. Nothing is too much trouble and I am still in regular contact with Rob as I develop new ideas to market the business. He is always available and often works late and over the weekend to complete important projects. Thanks again Rob, look forward to continuing to work alongside you in the future! 😊

I’ve worked with Rob for many years now during which time he’s turned my website into a properly useful marketing platform and is still brimming with ideas and suggestions to further improve its performance. Despite the huge value for money that he represents he is truly professional and I can honestly say that Rob really gets great results. I frequently recommend Rob’s services to clients and colleagues and they have all given me positive feedback and are all very pleased with the results.

Google review★★★★★

I have worked with Rob for many years on several projects all I can say is his work is impeccable. His attention to detail on the project and the timeframe he completes it in is fantastic. He always produces a monthly report on his work for me so it makes it easier to understand what else needs to be done. I highly recommend his services.

I cannot praise Rob enough - he created a website for my small business, was a joy to work with and nothing was too much trouble. Speedy, efficient and half the price of other quotes received.

Code without the theatre

Custom code can be included when it improves the website

I am a web engineer as well as a website designer. If custom CSS, JavaScript, an embed, an API link or another practical bit of code can be used sensibly within the website to enhance it, I will include it as part of the agreed build.

I will not manufacture an extra charge simply because the solution involves code. If the requirement is a genuine integration with another system and needs separate development, testing or ongoing responsibility, I will explain that and quote it separately before doing the work.

Disruptive by being straightforward

I am proud to publish my rates

I spent years inside the agency world and saw small businesses offered far more than they needed, often at a price based on what somebody thought they could be persuaded to spend.

Publishing my prices might make it easier for other website creators to compare their own rates and become more competitive. Good. A bit of disruption is the point. Small businesses deserve clearer choices, sensible costs and the confidence to walk away before a sales process begins.

The details

Questions about website pricing

Are these fixed prices?

They are the typical prices for straightforward Squarespace projects. I will confirm the scope and price with you before work starts. A larger site, unusual requirements or a genuine integration may need a separate quote.

Is custom code included?

If I can sensibly use custom code, CSS, an embed or an available API to enhance the website within the agreed build, I will. I do not charge extra simply because I know how to improve something. A genuine integration that needs separate development, testing or ongoing technical responsibility will be quoted separately.

What counts as a genuine integration?

It is usually work where the website must exchange or manage data with another system, rather than using a normal website feature, embed or simple connection. I will explain the difference in plain English and agree any extra cost before starting it.

Are Squarespace hosting fees included?

No. Your Squarespace plan is paid directly to Squarespace, using your own account and payment method. That means there is no hosting markup from me and you keep control of the website.

What if I only need a few changes?

Small changes and one-off jobs are normally charged at £50 per hour. If the work looks likely to take several hours, I will give you an estimate before I begin.

Know what you need, or not quite sure yet?

Send me a rough outline of the website or changes you have in mind. I will tell you honestly which price fits and whether anything needs a separate quote.
