How Much Should a Website Cost in 2026?

If you have asked a web agency for a quote and got back "it depends" or a form with twelve questions before a single number appears, you are not alone. Here is what things actually cost.

A single page: from £99

If you just need to be found online, your name, what you do, and a way to get in touch, a single professionally designed page is enough. It can be live within days.

A full website: from £475

Most local trades and sole traders outgrow a one-pager once they want a gallery, a services breakdown, and a proper contact form landing in their inbox. A full multi-page brochure site with basic local SEO sits at £475.

A branded app: from £499

Not every business needs an app, most don’t. But if customers book with you regularly or you want a home-screen presence, a focused single-purpose app starts from £499.

A corporate website: from £500

Once a website is a core part of how the business generates leads, not just a digital business card, the bar moves up. Custom design, a headless CMS your team can actually use, and technical SEO built in from day one starts from £500.

Bespoke software: from £2,000

If you are replacing a subscription tool that almost fits your workflow, spreadsheets held together with formulas, or a booking system you have outgrown, custom software projects typically start from £2,000, scoped to the exact problem.

What to watch out for

Quotes with no number attached until after a "discovery call"
Monthly platform fees on top of the build cost (Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy)
Ownership: can you actually take the site elsewhere if you want to?
