How much does a small business website cost in Norfolk and Suffolk?

If you have asked around for website prices, you have probably had answers that make no sense next to each other. One person says £300, another says £4,000, and a website builder says £15 a month. They can all be honest. They are just selling very different things.

The rough price bands

These are typical prices for a small business site of around five pages, based on published UK prices in 2026. Treat them as a guide, not a quote.

• Website builders (Wix, Squarespace and so on): £10 to £30 a month, every month, for as long as you want the site to exist. You do the work yourself.
• The cheapest local freelancers: a few hundred pounds. Often a template with your logo dropped in, and copywriting is usually down to you.
• A typical local web designer: roughly £600 to £1,500 for a simple brochure site.
• Experienced freelancers: around £1,500 to £3,000 for a properly designed small business site.
• Agencies: usually £3,000 upwards, and much more in the bigger cities.

What actually changes the price

Page count matters less than people think. The bigger drivers are:

• Who writes the words. Many designers expect you to supply all the text. Good copy is often the difference between a site that brings in enquiries and one that just sits there.
• Design from scratch or a template. A template is quicker and cheaper. A bespoke design fits your business and does not look like a thousand others.
• Features. Online shops, booking systems and customer logins all add cost. Most service businesses do not need them.
• Ongoing fees. This is where cheap sites often get expensive. A low build price with a monthly hosting or care plan can cost more over three years than a dearer site with no running costs.

Five questions to ask any web designer

• Will I own the website and the domain, in my name?
• What will I pay every month or year after launch, and what is that for?
• Is the copywriting included, or do I need to write everything?
• What happens if I want to leave? Can I take the site with me?
• Will the site be set up for Google, including my Google Business Profile?

If any answer is vague, ask again. A good designer will happily put it in writing.

What we charge

For a new business site we charge £995, with the copy written for you and your Google Business Profile set up. If you take six months of local SEO with it, the build drops to £795. The site is yours outright, and for most small sites there is no hosting bill at all. You can see everything on our pricing page.
