How much does a website cost?

Our websites are fixed-price: Starter £1,850 (up to 5 pages), Core £3,500 (up to 10 pages) and Growth £4,950 (up to 15 pages, with live payments or booking). Bespoke software and multilingual portals are scoped 1:1 on a call. Full pricing is on the pricing page. The more useful question is what a website costs versus what it earns. A site that generates one extra enquiry per week, at an average job value of £500, pays for itself in weeks. A cheaper site that does not convert, or that breaks and gets abandoned, costs more in missed opportunity than the saving on the build.

How long does it take to build a website?

Starter takes 5 business days, and Core and Growth about 10 business days from a signed scope, once your content is ready. Bespoke builds are scoped on a call. The timeline depends heavily on how quickly content is ready. If you have copy and photos ready to go, the build moves fast. If you need to write content from scratch or gather images, that is usually the longest part of the process.

Do you use WordPress or templates?

No. Every site is hand-coded from scratch on a modern stack: Next.js and TypeScript. No page builders, no themes, no plugin dependencies. The code is written for your site specifically, not borrowed from a library.

Can I update the website myself after it is built?

It depends on the tier. Starter is built for performance and delivered as a fixed-structure site: content is set at launch, and we make any changes for you on a retainer or hourly. From Core upwards you get a blog and your own content in a simple editor, so you can add posts and update information without touching code. We also offer a monthly retainer if you want ongoing development without managing it yourself.

Do you offer ongoing SEO?

Selectively, depending on studio capacity. We're not built to run marketing retainers full-time. The audit and setup get your site and GBP right once; if you want it managed monthly after that, we'll either take it on directly or hand the findings to a trusted SEO partner so nothing sits unfixed.

The honest truth

“How is it so fast without cutting corners?”

Website projects don't take 3 months because the work is hard. They take 3 months because traditional agencies are weighed down by bureaucracy, committee revisions, and junior handoffs.

Our FormulaExperienced builders, AI-assisted tooling, a site live in 1 to 2 weeks

Option AHigh Overhead

The Traditional Agency

6 to 12 weeks typical turnaround with endless scheduling delays.
Layers of account managers and rounds of moodboard meetings.
£8,000 to £15,000+ bills that reflect high studio overheads.
Sold by senior directors, then handed off to junior staff for delivery.

Verdict: Bloated, slow, and needlessly exhausting.

Option BTime Drain

DIY Page Builders

3 wasted weekends struggling with stubborn alignment boxes.
A tangle of page-builder plugins that can break during platform updates.
Slow mobile load speeds and weak technical SEO foundations.
An unfinished draft that sits at 80% completion for 9 months.

Verdict: Cheaper upfront, expensive in lost customers.

Recommended choiceLive in 7–14 Days

Made by Atlas

7 to 14 calendar days from kickoff to full production launch.
Hands-on craft, with AI tools handling the repetitive code.
Clean semantic markup, a fast CMS setup and SEO foundations built in.
You talk to the people writing the code, with no account-manager layer in between.

Verdict: careful work, a quick start and a fixed price.
