How much does a website cost in the UK in 2025?
Short answer: it depends on scope. Here’s a simple, honest breakdown so you can budget with confidence.
Typical ranges
- Starter brochure (5–8 pages): £2,000–£4,500

- Custom functionality (memberships, directories, multi-language): £10,000–£30,000+
What actually drives price
