Cost guide
How Much Does a Website for a Tradesperson Cost in the UK?
Most UK tradespeople pay between £500 and £2,500 for a professional website. DIY builders start at around £100–£500 if you build it yourself, freelancers typically charge £500–£2,000, specialist trade website services sit around £800–£2,500, and digital agencies usually start at £2,000 and go up from there.
The right choice depends less on price and more on what you need the website to do. If it only needs to exist, almost anything works. If it needs to bring in local enquiries, the structure, content and SEO setup matter far more than the design.
