Most studios make you book a call to find out whether you can afford them. Here are the actual numbers, so you can decide before you spend an hour on the phone with me.
These are starting prices, and they're honest ones — not a low number designed to get you on a call. A five-page site for a local clinic and a twenty-page site with a booking system are genuinely different jobs, so the final figure depends on what's actually in front of us.
What doesn't change: once we've talked it through, I agree a fixed price in writing before any work starts. No hourly meters, no scope creep, no surprise line items at the end. If the project grows halfway through, we agree the change and its cost before I build it.
I take on a small number of projects at a time, which is why I'd rather you self-select here than find out three emails in that we're not a fit.
A short personal video walking through your current site — what's working, what's costing you enquiries, and what I'd do about it. No obligation, and no follow-up beyond a nudge or two.
A day or two of focused work on the website you already have. I don't touch your design; I fix the things underneath it that decide whether you get found.
A single hand-coded page designed around one goal — a launch, a service, a campaign. Fast, distinctive, and built to convert rather than just exist.
A bespoke multi-page site, designed and coded from scratch, with motion and search built in from the first line rather than bolted on at the end. This is the Maldon Gymnastics and Travel in Style tier.
Logo, type, colour and the words that carry them — designed alongside the website rather than handed to someone else to interpret. One vision, start to finish.
Hosting, updates, small changes and a plain-English monthly note on how the site is doing. Entirely optional — plenty of clients take the site and run it themselves, and I'll make sure they can.
A good website is often the thing a business most needs and least wants to pay for in one go. So if the cost is the obstacle rather than the work, you can spread it: a deposit to start, then twelve monthly payments.
Monthly pricing is a little higher than paying outright — that's the cost of spreading it, and I'd rather show you the difference than hide it. The care plan is included free for the twelve months, so hosting, updates and reporting are covered while you pay.
You own the site either way. Twelve months, not twenty-four. No rolling contract that quietly renews, and no arrangement where the website stops working if you stop paying — the code is yours from the day it launches. If you want to leave at the end of the term and host it yourself, I'll help you move it.
The single biggest factor. A page for every service ranks far better than one page listing them all — but each one is designed, written and built.
If the words exist and are good, we move fast. If they need writing or rewriting, that's real work and I'll price it openly rather than pad the build.
Anything a visitor can do rather than read — booking a class, paying a deposit, logging in — adds build and testing time.
A site you update yourself needs a CMS behind it. Worth it if you post often; unnecessary cost if you don't.
Good photography changes a site more than almost anything I can do. I don't shoot it, but I'll tell you honestly when it's the better place to spend.
Ranking for “gymnastics in Maldon” and ranking for “solicitor in Essex” are different jobs. More competition means more SEO groundwork.
Some studios charge separately for “AI optimisation” or “SEO packages” on top of a build. I don't — they're not extras, they're what building a website properly means. Here's what that actually involves.
You can get a three-page website in Essex for around £325. That is a real option and for some businesses it's the right one — if you need a basic online presence so people can find your phone number, don't spend £2,500 with me to get it.
Where I earn my fee is when the website is how you get customers: when you're competing for local search, when the way it looks affects whether people trust you with money, when a booking or an enquiry is worth hundreds of pounds to you. If your website is a brochure, buy a brochure. If it's a salesperson, it's worth building properly.
