Pricing

What it costs, before you have to ask.

Builds and migrations get a fixed quote, agreed before any work starts, so there are no surprises. Maintenance, updates and support packages start at £100/​month. 

Website projects

Most projects land in one of these three bands. Tell me what you need and I’ll give you a fixed quote before any work starts.

  • £2,500 to £4,500

    Starter

    A focused site including basic page types, unlimited pages and common components.

    • Includes home, landing (campaign), listing, blog and standard content page types
    • Your designs built, or basic design by me
    • Set up so your team can edit it
    • Accessible and fast from day one
  • Recommended

    £5,000 to £7,000

    Standard

    Everything in Starter, plus a content model shaped around how you actually work.

    • Custom page types and components
    • Content migrated from your current site
    • Editor training and written handover notes
    • Forms, search and integrations as needed

  • from £8,000

    Bespoke

    Everything in Standard, for larger and more involved builds.

    • Custom functionality and bespoke modules
    • Multi-site or multi-language setups
    • Phased delivery across several releases
    • First three months of support included

What every project includes

Whichever tier you land in, these come as standard.

  • A fixed quote, agreed before any work starts
  • Built on Craft CMS, with no themes or page builders
  • Your existing content migrated, not re-typed
  • Editor training and a handover session for your team
  • Accessibility tested, not just claimed
  • Thirty days of free fixes after launch

What changes the price

Two sites with the same number of pages can cost very different amounts. These are the things that move the number.

  • Page types. Not how many pages, but how many genuinely different layouts.
  • Designs. Whether they exist already, and how complete they are.
  • Content. How much moves across, and what state it is in.
  • Integrations. Anything that has to talk to a system you already use.
  • Training. How much handover and documentation your team wants.
  • Timing. Whether the deadline is comfortable or tight.

What about design?

Most of the sites I build come from designs that have already been signed off, usually as a Figma file. That is the simplest route, but it is not the only one.

  • You already have designs. Send me the Figma, Sketch, XD, Affinity file or a PDF and I will build it faithfully. No extra cost.
  • You have a logo and brand colours, but no web design. I will handle layout, typography and the flow through the site. Add £1,000 to £2,000.
  • You need branding, or a designer’s eye across the whole thing. I will bring in one of the designers I work with regularly and quote their time separately.

Maintenance and support

Every plan works the same way. I back up your database, test all Craft and plugin updates in a local environment, and only deploy them once I’m satisfied nothing has broken. The plans differ in how often that happens, and how much of my time comes with it.

  • £100/month

    Basic

    Monthly updates, tested before they go near your live site.

    • Updates applied once a month, on a set day
    • Database backed up before every run
    • Confirmation once it’s done
  • Recommended

    £150/month

    Fortnightly

    Everything in Basic, twice as often, plus an hour for small jobs.

    • Updates applied fortnightly
    • One hour a month for ad-hoc tasks
    • Content tweaks, plugin setup, user accounts

  • £200/month

    Concierge

    Everything in Fortnightly, plus a standing two hours from someone who already knows your site.

    • Two hours a month for more involved work
    • Bug fixes, performance and accessibility
    • New functionality and template changes

I worked with Seth for about 4 years when he was the lead developer at Kind for the Rewilding Britain website. I found him incredibly easy to work with and we often worked together in figuring out issues, discussing improvements or new functionality and exploring solutions. 

This was extremely valuable, and in my long experience of working with developers rare to see.

Working with agencies

Agencies usually want capacity rather than a project. Book time by the hour or the day, and I’ll slot into your team and your process.

  • £80/ hour

    Hourly

    For small, well-defined jobs. Tell me what you need and I’ll estimate before starting.

    • No ongoing commitment
    • Available at short notice
  • Recommended

    £450/ day

    Scheduled days

    Regular booked capacity for agencies that need a dependable extra pair of hands.

    • Minimum three days a month
    • Days scheduled to suit you

  • £550/ day

    Ad-hoc days

    Flexible capacity for agencies with several projects or open-ended work.

    • Booked as and when
    • On-site if required

If you’re looking for a developer that has the soft skills to work well within a multi-disciplinary team. Try Seth. 

If you’re looking for someone who will use his experience and knowledge to help deliver something better than you imagined. Try Seth.

Questions

  • Both, depending on the project. Clearly scoped work suits a fixed quote; ongoing or exploratory work suits a day rate. I’ll tell you upfront which I think fits your project, and why.

  • A straightforward design-to-Craft build usually takes 4 – 8 weeks, depending on complexity and how quickly content and assets come in. I’ll give you a realistic timeline before we start, not an optimistic one.

  • Probably not. Hourly work is £80 and you’ll get an estimate before I start. If it genuinely isn’t a good fit, I’ll tell you and point you somewhere better.

  • Both, depending on what you need. Most of my work starts from a design that has already been signed off, in Figma or any other handoff format. If you have a logo and brand colours but no web design, I can handle layout, typography and the flow through the site myself. 

    If you need branding, or a designer across the whole thing, I will bring in someone I have worked with before and quote their time separately.

  • If your site rarely changes and you mainly want security and updates handled, Basic is the right fit. If you occasionally need small tweaks done without raising a separate quote each time, Fortnightly covers that. If you want regular check-ins and a meaningful block of time each month for ongoing improvements, Concierge gives you that. Still not sure? Get in touch — I’m happy to talk it through.

  • Yes. There’s no long-term contract — just one month’s notice to cancel.

Skip the agency. Keep the quality.

If you need a new website, improvements to your existing site, or even just maintenance or support, I can help.
