How much does a website cost?

It depends on the scope, but our builds start at £650 for a landing page and £1,400–£5,866 for a custom website. E-commerce starts at £4,150. For ongoing support, WP Care plans start at £59/month, SEO retainers from £749/month, and our all-in Studio packages from £1,350/month. However a project is priced, we break it into milestones — each with a fixed price tied to a working deliverable. You never pay 50% of the total cost up front. Instead, you pay 50% of the first milestone to start it. When that milestone is complete, you pay the remaining 50% of it together with the 50% deposit on the next milestone — and that's what unlocks the next phase of work. The pattern continues until the final milestone is delivered, at which point you pay the remaining 50% of it. The effect: cash flow stays smooth, you always see a working deliverable before paying for the next, and we never carry more than half a milestone of unbilled work.

How long does a project take and what does delivery look like?

Indicative timings: Landing page: ~4 weeks from kick-off Custom website: 4–8 weeks E-commerce build: 8–12 weeks Brand work: 2–8 weeks depending on tier Delivery is broken into milestones built around working functionality, not internal phases like “design” or “build” in isolation. Think of it like an MVP and then MVP+1, MVP+2 — at the end of every milestone you have a live, usable thing you can see and sign off on. For a typical website project, the milestones look something like this: MVP — A working homepage and core navigation on staging, with your brand applied. Real, clickable, mobile-friendly. MVP+1 — All inner pages built, forms wired, analytics installed. MVP+2 — SEO foundations, schema, performance optimisations, content polish. Launch — Final QA, DNS cutover, hand-over docs. You'll always know what we're working on each week and what's due back from you. We never start the next milestone until the previous one is signed off and paid for, which keeps surprises out of the project.

What if I need a bit of everything — can you do that?

Yes, and this is what our Studio packages are built for. Instead of piecing together a freelance designer, a marketing agency, a developer, and a hosting account, you get all of it from one team on one monthly fee: Studio Lite — £1,350/month. SEO retainer + GBP management + WP Care + 6 hours/month of design, dev or content time. Studio Standard — £2,495/month. Bigger SEO scope, 13 hours/month design + dev, quarterly brand reviews. Studio Pro — £3,850/month. The whole stack — 18 hours/month of flex time, weekly GBP posts, monthly cross-discipline strategy session. Studio is best for businesses who'd otherwise hire a junior designer plus a part-time marketer. It's also how we work with most of our long-standing clients — they like having one point of contact for the whole digital side.

Do you offer ongoing maintenance after launch?

Yes — four WP Care plans, £59–£259/month, covering plugin and core updates, daily backups, security and performance monitoring, and content tweaks. Most clients pair their build with at least our Essentials plan so the site stays healthy and up to date.

Website Design & Digital Services in Suffolk

Suffolk

Websites, branding, UX, SEO and digital marketing for Suffolk businesses. A London studio with deep Suffolk roots — from Aldeburgh and Orford up to Bury St Edmunds — and the working relationships to prove it.

Start a conversation → See the work

I’ve been working with Suffolk businesses for years — Iken Barns near Aldeburgh, an award-winning Suffolk ceramics artist, businesses in Orford, river trip operators on the coast. Long relationships with people who care about doing things properly.

Whether you run a coastal holiday let, an independent retailer in a Suffolk market town, a creative practice, or a service business in Ipswich or Bury St Edmunds — I can build a website that genuinely works for the local audience and the way Suffolk customers actually search.

Most of the work runs remotely, the way modern web design should be — fast turnaround, clear comms, no padding. Suffolk visits when they’re genuinely useful, billed at the hourly rate plus expenses.

Web design in Suffolk that works for a local audience

When people search for web design in Suffolk they are usually looking for someone who understands both the craft and the county, a designer who can build something genuinely fast and good to look at but who also appreciates that a holiday let near Aldeburgh, an independent gallery in a coastal town and a trades business on the edge of Ipswich are all speaking to slightly different people in slightly different ways, and every website design project I take on in Suffolk begins with exactly that conversation about who you are actually trying to reach, because a site that looks lovely but speaks to nobody in particular is a wasted opportunity and the entire point of bespoke website design is that it is built around your business rather than quietly forcing your business to bend itself around a template that was never made for it.

What that looks like in practice is a website design that carries your tone of voice, loads quickly on the sort of patchy rural mobile signal that a lot of Suffolk visitors are actually browsing on, and gently guides someone from curiosity to enquiry without ever feeling pushy, and because I work across design, build and content as one joined-up piece of work rather than handing you off between three different suppliers, the finished site tends to hang together in a way that feels considered from the first line of copy to the last call to action.

SEO in Suffolk, so the right people actually find you

A beautiful website is only ever half the job, because the other half is making sure that when someone in Suffolk types what they need into Google your name is one of the ones that comes back, and SEO in Suffolk is genuinely a little different from trying to compete in a big city, since the search volumes are smaller and far more seasonal, the competition tends to be a mix of national directories and a handful of real local businesses, and the honest trick is to be unmistakably the trusted, human, local option rather than trying to out-shout everyone else with tricks that never last, which is why I build every Suffolk website with search in mind from the very first wireframe so that the structure, the wording and the underlying code are all quietly working in your favour long after the site has gone live.

That groundwork matters most for the businesses whose customers are half-holiday and half-local, where a coastal holiday let needs to be found by someone planning a trip from two hundred miles away at the same time as a village service business needs to be found by the person three streets over, and getting both of those jobs done well comes down to patient, sensible on-page SEO paired with a site that Google can read easily and that genuinely answers the questions people are asking.

Why it helps to work with someone who already knows Suffolk

Because I have been working with Suffolk businesses for years and have built those long, unhurried relationships with people who care about doing things properly, I tend to understand the shorthand fairly quickly, whether that is the rhythm of a coastal season, the way an Ipswich or Bury St Edmunds service business wins work through reputation, or the quiet pride that runs through so many of the county’s creative practices, and while most of the work runs remotely in the way modern web design should, with fast turnaround, clear communication and no padding, it always helps to be working with someone who has actually spent time in the places your customers come from and who treats your website as a long-term partnership rather than a job to get off the desk.
