FAQs
How much does a web design service cost?
Most Brentwood web design projects kick off at about £1,000. A small five-page site for a consultant in Shenfield - that’s usually near the mark. But if you’re running a boutique on Brentwood High Street that needs booking forms, Stripe payments and product stock… different story, higher figure. We don’t hide it. We scope, put the costs in plain English, then fix the price. No "mystery extras."
How much should a web designer cost?
You've probably seen the £200 website offers floating around (Basildon Facebook groups, cousin's mate in Colchester). Looks alright for a week. Then it crawls, breaks, and the person ghosts you. Truth? The winners online aren’t the flashiest looking - they’re the ones built properly under the hood. Fast. Secure. Google-ready. Lee in Billericay summed it up best: "cheap once, expensive twice."
Does website design cost include hosting?
Yes, your first year of UK hosting is included. After that, your call: stay with us or move. We’ll even help with the transfer. No lock-ins, no grumbles.
How much money is required to run a website?
It’s not one scary bill. It’s little regular ones: Domain (.co.uk): around £8–£15 a year Hosting: £10–£30 a month for something stable Maintenance (optional): £80/month if you just want us on standby, up to £1k/month if you want full content + optimisation Example: a florist near Ingatestone spends £20/month on hosting, £12/year on her domain and a light plan so she never touches updates.
How long does it take to build a website?
Anywhere between 4 and 12 weeks. Depends on how fast content lands. Example: an electrician in Warley had his photos and copy ready → site went live in just over 3 weeks. A shop we did near Shenfield Station with delivery zones, product filters and a till system took closer to 11 weeks - not our code, just waiting on product data. We always map the plan at the start, so you know the next step.
How many pages should a website have?
Depends what you do. Some start-ups in Pilgrims Hatch go live with a one-pager and grow from there. Most established firms in Brentwood/Chelmsford end up with 10-20+. As a rule of thumb, at least five: Home, About, Services, Blog/Insights, Contact. Then add service or location pages like "Plumber in Ongar" or "Solicitor in Hutton."
How often should a website be redesigned?
Do small refreshes every year (new images, updated text). Plan a proper redesign roughly every 3 years. One Brentwood estate agent admitted their old site "felt like 2018" - and their enquiries showed it.
Who owns the rights to a website?
You do. When the bill’s cleared, it’s all yours - design, content, code. We’ll hand over logins, a backup, and a quick walk-through. Clients in Brentwood and Shenfield often book a 15-minute call with us to see how to swap images or add pages without breaking anything.
Do I own my domain name?
Yes. Always register it under your business name with your email so the renewal notices come to you. Don’t want the faff? We’ll manage it and set it to auto-renew. But it's still yours. Little trick: put a reminder in your phone 30 days before renewal. Saves panic later.
What copyright should I put on my website?
Just a line: © [Year] [Business Name]. All rights reserved. But the bigger deal is the content itself - keep it original, human. Google spots thin, copied text a mile off. We work with Profesionall SEO writers who'll make it sound like you and help with ranking.
Can I use my phone for web design?
Yes. Log in, tweak text, swap photos, update prices. A restaurant just off Ongar Road updates their specials menu from an iPhone every morning before opening. Not glamorous, but it works. We’ll send you a short video so you're not guessing what button does what.
