Frequently Asked Questions ❓

•     How much does a website cost?
  If you're wondering “What’s the cost of creating a business website?” — you’re not alone. It’s one of the first questions most entrepreneurs ask when planning their online presence.
  The truth is, prices vary wildly depending on who you hire, what features you need, and whether you’ll get the ongoing support to keep your site running smoothly.
  In the UK, a basic 5-page website typically costs around £750, with most quotes ranging from £500 to £1,000. But once you factor in custom design, content writing, and added functionality, many small business websites land in the £1,500–£5,000 range.
•     Can i do it myself?
  🛠️ DIY Website Builders:
  The Basic Platforms like Wix, Squarespace, and GoDaddy Website Builders offer drag-and-drop tools that make it easy to get a site online quickly. They’re popular for a reason:
  Low upfront cost: Plans typically start around £10–£30/month.
  No coding required: You can build pages visually.
  Templates available: Choose from pre-designed layouts.
  
  ✅ Pros
  Fast setup — you can launch a basic site in a day.
  Hosting and domain often bundled.
  Good for personal blogs or simple portfolios.
  
  ⚠️ But Here’s the Catch...
  While DIY platforms seem cost-effective, they come with limitations that can hurt your business in the long run:
  🚫 Limited Customisation
  You’re restricted to what the platform allows. Want a unique layout, advanced functionality, or custom integrations? You’ll hit a wall fast.
  📉 SEO & Performance Issues
  Many DIY sites struggle with slow load times, poor mobile optimisation, and limited SEO tools — all of which affect your visibility on Google.
  💸 Hidden Costs
  Need extra features like eCommerce, booking systems, or email marketing? You’ll often need to upgrade or pay for add-ons, pushing your monthly cost up significantly.
  🧑‍💻 You're On Your Own
  Most platforms expect you to write your own content, manage your own SEO, and troubleshoot problems yourself — unless you pay for premium support.
