Common questions about website costs

Why £150 per page? +

Each page is designed and built individually — unique layout, copy structure, images, and SEO optimisation. £150 per page is our starting rate for a standard informational page. More complex pages (e-commerce product pages, custom calculators, interactive tools) are priced based on the work involved, agreed upfront.

Are there any hidden costs? +

No. The build fee shown above is the total you pay for the site. After that, hosting is free forever. If you choose a monthly support plan, that cost is shown clearly. Stripe payment processing (for e-commerce) runs at their standard rate of around 1.5% + 20p per transaction — that goes to Stripe, not us.

How does this compare to Wix or Squarespace? +

A Wix Business plan costs around £35/mo — that's £2,100 over 5 years, and the site still isn't yours. Cardiff Media charges a one-off build fee. After that, hosting is free, and you own every file. The 5-year comparison above calculates this automatically based on your choices.

What does "included" mean for features? +

Features marked as "Included" are built directly into your site as part of the standard build — no third-party app subscription, no extra monthly charge. They're part of the code we write. Features with a price (like e-commerce) require additional development work and are priced per the calculator above.

Do I need to provide content? +

You have the choice. You can supply your own text and images, ask us to migrate content from your existing site, or add professional copywriting at £100 per page. We write all copy to be SEO-optimised and AEO-ready from day one.

How accurate is this estimate? +

Very close for standard builds. The final price is always confirmed after a free 20-minute discovery call where we discuss exactly what you need. We give you a fixed price in writing before any work starts — no surprises, no scope creep.
