How much does a website cost?

Our packages start at £750 for a Starter site, £1,999 for Growth and £3,499 for our full Premium build. Enterprise partnerships are priced on request. All prices are one-off, no monthly agency fees. Hosting and domain costs are separate and we discuss these upfront.

Do I have to pay everything upfront?

No. We take a 50% deposit when we start work and the remaining 50% is due on launch day. We never ask for full payment before we've done any work.

Are there any ongoing fees?

Our design and build fees are one-off. You will need to pay for hosting (typically £5 to 15/month) and domain renewal (typically £10 to 15/year) separately. We help you set these up and are transparent about the costs before you commit.

Can I upgrade my package later?

Yes. If you start on a Starter site and want to expand it later, we can quote for adding pages or features. We'll always tell you upfront what it will cost before doing any work.

How long does it take to build my site?

Starter sites typically take 5 to 7 working days. Growth sites take 10 to 14 days. Premium and custom projects are scoped individually. We always agree a timeline before starting and stick to it.

What do you need from me to get started?

Your logo (if you have one), any photos or images and an idea of what you want to say. We can help you write copy and suggest free stock photography if needed.

Will I be able to update the site myself?

It depends on the platform we build on. For most small business sites we use platforms that are easy to update yourself. We also offer a monthly maintenance service from £49/month if you'd rather not deal with it.

How many revisions do I get?

Starter: 1 round. Growth: 3 rounds. Premium: unlimited. A revision round means you give us all your feedback at once and we implement everything.

Will my site work on mobile?

Yes, always. Every site we build is fully responsive, it looks great on phones, tablets and desktops. We test on real devices before handing anything over.

Basic SEO is included in all packages, page titles, meta descriptions, fast load times and Google Search Console setup. Growth and Premium packages include full SEO optimisation and structured data markup to help you rank for local search terms.

Do you handle hosting and domains?

We help you set everything up but we don't act as a middleman, you keep full ownership and pay providers directly. This means you're never locked in to us.

Can you work with my existing domain?

Yes. If you already have a domain we'll connect the new site to it. If you need a new domain we'll help you choose and register one.

Where are you based? Do we need to meet in person?

We're based in Edinburgh but work with clients across Scotland, the UK and internationally. Everything can be done remotely. We're happy to meet in person for Edinburgh clients if preferred.

What if I'm not happy with the result?

We work through revisions until you're happy. Before we ever start building we share a design mockup for approval so you know exactly what you're getting before a single line of code is written.

Do you work with any industry?

We work with all kinds of small businesses, shops, contractors, therapists, fitness professionals, restaurants, consultants and more. If you're a legitimate business that needs a website, we can help.

Do I Need a Website for My Small Business?

It is a fair question. You have an Instagram page, maybe a Facebook profile and your Google Business listing is set up. Customers find you. Things are ticking along. So do you actually need a website on top of all that?

The honest answer for most small businesses is yes, and here is why.

Social media is rented land

Your Instagram page, your Facebook business profile, your TikTok account: none of these belong to you. The platform owns them. Algorithms change, accounts get flagged incorrectly, platforms fall out of fashion. Businesses that built everything on Facebook pages in 2014 found this out the hard way when organic reach collapsed. A website is the one thing online that you fully own and control. No algorithm decides how many of your customers see it.

People search before they buy

When someone in Edinburgh searches for a restaurant, a local tradesperson or a hair salon, Google shows them results. If you do not have a website, you are not in those results. Your social media profile might show up occasionally but it is not designed to answer the specific questions people have when they are ready to spend money. A well built website is.

A website works while you sleep

Your website is open at 2am on a Sunday. It answers common questions, shows your prices, collects enquiry forms and lets people book without calling. Most small business owners underestimate how many enquiries they lose simply because there was no easy way for a potential customer to reach them at the moment they were ready to commit.

It makes everything else more credible

When someone hears about your business from a friend, the first thing they do is look you up. If they find a professional website they trust what they see. If they find only a social profile or nothing at all, doubt creeps in. A website is not just a marketing tool. It is proof that you are a legitimate business that takes itself seriously.

How much does it cost?

Less than most people expect. Small business websites from Wellington Web Co. start at £750 for a clean, professional site that looks great on mobile, loads fast and is set up correctly for Google. That is a one-off cost, not a monthly subscription. See our full pricing or use the project estimator to get a figure specific to your business.
