Right, let’s take a journey on how much a website could cost.
The guide for your journey: a digital agency that has been creating bespoke web development and web design for ten years! So, do not fear you will not be taken on a wrong turn during this journey!
How Much Does
a Website Cost?
We know you’ve probably googled “how much does a website cost?” And ended up with a range of answers, and now you’re here hoping to find a direct answer. At the same time, we can give you our day rate, it’s £600(+VAT), by the way, but ultimately, we can’t give you a blanket price for a website, its dependent on the time that is taken to create it and the time comes down to what you are asking for and how you communicate with us.
We know you can get a website for less than our day rate. Still, you get what you pay for when it comes to a website. At Geek, we take our time to ensure the client gets exactly what they want, which can’t just happen overnight for bespoke development. So, if you are looking for a website that fulfils your needs and desires while also being an investment for your business, then speak to Geek.
The Confusion
The confusion of pricing mainly comes down to what you are actually paying for; while you are purchasing a website from us, you are ultimately paying for our time, and our product to you is not the website itself (while do you get a website from us), our product is our knowledge, skill and time.
A range of variables goes into constructing a website. If the correct information empowers our clients, they will make the right buying decisions. Elements to consider for your website:
Elements to consider for your website:
1/6
Micro-interactions
… can range from a scrolling animation to a simple hover transition. At its essence, a micro-interaction is about creating a visual experience and ensuring it is implemented correctly to guarantee it is user-friendly.
2/6
Videos and Images
… they are visible forms of communication and can instantly show your customers who and what your business is.
3/6
Graphics
… are the entire look, such as colours, fonts and layout. Like illustrations, your graphic choices should aid your website and promote your company’s core values.
4/6
Illustrations
Illustrations are on your website to complement the content on the website and the overall theme of your brand identity. A successful illustration will pull viewers in and intrigue them to either stay on the page or select a new page.
5/6
Functionality
Your website is whatever your mind can think of (and the type of investment you’re willing to make), and that is what your functionality is; it is whatever you want to get from your customer.
6/6
Bespoke Development
Depending on your niche, the more bespoke your website’s functionality becomes.

The Process
After our first meeting, discussing the functionality of your website and how best to suit your website’s needs, the process is split into three steps, Design, Development and Aftercare.
1. Design
This stage involves much communication as you will collaborate with our in-house designer on how you want the design of your website to look. While we understand design can be emotional, as we all want to connote the right things, it is essential to listen to our designer’s opinions and ideas as they will be solely working from the viewpoint of what is best for your business and customers. Once you have signed off on the design of your website, we will then move on to the development of the website.
Once we have finalised your website’s design, this will be presented to you for you to observe and confirm if you are pleased with the design.
This is Joe, our creative designer, who you will be collaborating with in the design stages of your website.
2. Development
Don’t worry, but at this stage, we tend to go a bit quiet with our communication because we are now building your website, which involves concentrated time and dedication. No matter what you have asked for, we can achieve it; whether we have to research and find the ideal plugin or create something from scratch, it will genuinely be bespoke to your business.
Code is the building block for your website; you probably don’t understand it, but don’t worry, our web developers do!
This is Tony and Chris, who will be working on building your website and ensuring the beauty of the design is also functional.
3. After Care
So at this point, you will have a website you are satisfied with. Now will be the time to consider how potential consumers see your website through marketing and organic content, such as content writing. During the aftercare process, you will mainly be communicating with the marketing team, whether that is through emails or face-to-face meetings.
This is Ashleigh; she is who you will be communicating with throughout the entire project as she ensures all the I’s have been dotted, and the T’s have been crossed. She is also who you’ll come to when you’re ready to consider a marketing strategy.
The product you purchase from our marketing team is their knowledge and expertise. Geek has been in the industry for ten years now, and we also pride ourselves on staying up-to-date in the marketing world; every new google update keeps us on our toes! Aftercare can look like many different things: training and consulting, Google Ads or eCommerce SEO. Don’t worry if you are unsure about what best suits your business needs; the Geek marketing team will guide you through the best options.
