Website pricing

Clear website budgets. Separate scope for systems work.

Two ways to arrange the same core website build. We agree your pages, responsibilities and a fixed project price in writing before you pay. Business systems, integrations and automation have their own scope.

Website options

Choose how the build and support work for you.

These are starting prices. Your written quote confirms the pages, features, responsibilities and total cost before you commit. Bigger projects receive an expressly agreed quote and, where relevant, a payment schedule.

Build + managed

From £2,750

£99/month managed service from launch

A website build with hosting, maintenance and practical support managed by South Coast Apps.

  • 50% before work begins and 50% after approval, before launch. At the starting price: £1,375 + £1,375.
  • Rolling monthly from launch; cancel with 30 days' written notice by email.

Build + handover

From £3,500

No South Coast Apps managed service included

A website build with a guided handover for you or your chosen provider to run.

  • 50% before work begins and 50% after approval, before launch or handover. At the starting price: £1,750 + £1,750.
  • Includes training, a written guide and seven calendar days of how-to support after handover and training.

South Coast Apps is not VAT registered. No VAT is added to the prices shown.

Shared starting scope

The same core website in both options.

A business website with up to five main pages, designed for mobile and desktop, with an enquiry form, clear contact options and technical SEO foundations.

The pages and functionality are agreed around your organisation's needs. Additional pages, online shops, bespoke applications and more involved integrations are quoted separately.

You provide business information and draft text, plus branding and images you have permission to use. Your wording does not need to be polished; we organise and lightly edit it for the agreed pages. Full copywriting from scratch, new branding, photography and paid image licences are quoted separately. You approve final content before launch.

Two rounds of consolidated design and content revisions are included within the agreed scope. Each is one collected set of feedback. Additional rounds cost £125/hour after an approved estimate. New pages, features or brief changes are quoted separately. Correcting our errors or meeting the agreed requirements does not use a revision round.

Both options include one remote training session of up to 60 minutes and a short written handover guide. We cover using the website, handling enquiries and any editing tools included in your quote. Further training is quoted separately with your approval.

Build + handover includes seven calendar days of questions about using the website after both handover and training are complete. Further training, requested changes and new functionality are separately quoted. This how-to window does not limit corrections needed to meet the agreed deliverables.

Managed service

What £99 per month includes.

Build + managed includes hosting, SSL, backups, security and core-software updates, monitoring and ordinary technical support. It includes up to 30 minutes of minor content updates per billing month, such as text, image or contact-detail changes. The allowance resets each month and unused time does not roll over. Routine hosting and maintenance do not consume it.

Standard support hours are Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm UK time (Europe/London), excluding bank holidays in England and Wales. We aim to give an initial response to routine requests within two working days; this is a response target, not a resolution guarantee.

Additional work is £125/hour or £31.25 per 15 minutes. Urgent or out-of-hours work is £175/hour or £43.75 per 15 minutes, only by prior agreement and subject to availability. Chargeable work uses 15-minute increments with a 15-minute minimum per agreed task or consolidated batch. Remaining eligible monthly content time is used first; only remaining chargeable time is rounded. We agree an estimate before chargeable work.

New pages, features, integrations and substantial design changes are separately quoted. Domain registration and renewals, business-email subscriptions and paid third-party services or licences are charged separately unless your quote includes them. We identify required external costs before you commit and seek approval for optional purchases. Managed hosting is included in the £99 monthly charge.

Payments and leaving

Clear dates and a clear handover.

One-off build-stage and additional-work invoices are due within seven calendar days of invoice date. The first build payment must be received before work starts; the final 50% for Build + managed or Build + handover follows approval and must be received before launch or handover. Managed-service payments are in advance from launch, then on the corresponding monthly billing date. Monthly billing does not begin during the build.

Build + managed is rolling monthly from launch and can be cancelled with 30 days' written notice by email. Managed service is charged only through the agreed end date, with the final period prorated by calendar days and unused prepaid managed-service days refunded.

Build + managed includes one standard website export and basic handover information. Migration or setup elsewhere is separately quoted. See the website service terms for cancellation, non-payment and file-handover details.

Systems, integrations and automation

Systems work has its own scope.

Explore systems work →

Business systems, integrations, automation and practical AI can be discussed directly. They are not included in the starting website scope and have no published package price. Tell us what needs improving, even if you are not planning a website.

Questions

Before you choose an option.

Do I need to book a call or paid review to enquire?

No. You can send an enquiry about a website, systems, integrations, automation or practical AI. The free Website Discovery Call is an option for website projects; the paid Business Tech System Review is an optional later step for work that needs closer examination.

Are domain and email subscriptions included?

Managed website hosting is included in the £99/month service. Domain registration, business email and paid third-party services are separately itemised unless your written quote includes them. We identify required external costs before you commit.

Optional paid review

Optional Business Tech System Review: £49.50

For systems, integrations or workflow requirements that need closer examination, we may recommend a focused 45-minute review after our initial conversation.

You receive a short written action plan and seven days to ask follow-up questions about the recommendations. This is an initial assessment, not a full technical specification.

If you proceed with the website or systems project arising from the review, the £49.50 fee is credited in full against its first project invoice. The credit has no expiry date and relates to that project.

This review is optional. You do not need to pay before discussing a website project or booking your free Website Discovery Call.
