Get an instant, realistic estimate for your web development project. Select your features and see current UK market pricing — no sign-up needed.
Choose from brochure site, blog, e-commerce, SaaS, or custom app. Each type has a different baseline complexity that affects pricing.
Select specific features you need: CMS, e-commerce, user accounts, integrations, animations, SEO setup, and more. Each adds to the estimate.
See a realistic price range based on current UK web development market rates. The estimate covers build cost — not hosting or ongoing maintenance.
Bring the estimate to conversations with developers. Use it to budget the project and evaluate whether agency quotes are competitive for your market.
Budget your MVP or product website before approaching developers. Know what is realistic for your runway before getting quotes, and avoid being overcharged by agencies.
Get a ballpark for a website redesign or new feature rollout. Set internal budgets and evaluate whether agency quotes are in line with market rates before committing.
Build the business case for a web development project. Back up your budget request with market-rate data before presenting to leadership or finance.
A basic informational website (5–10 pages, no e-commerce) typically costs £1,000–£5,000 for a freelance developer or £3,000–£15,000 from an agency. Factors include design complexity, CMS requirements, number of pages, third-party integrations, and whether custom development is needed.
Website builders (Squarespace, Wix, Webflow) cost £10–£50/month and are limited to templates. Custom development gives you full control, better performance, and unlimited scalability. For businesses expecting growth or needing specific functionality, custom development typically delivers better ROI over 3–5 years.
Price varies based on developer location (UK/EU developers charge more than offshore), experience level, project complexity, timeline urgency, and whether design is included. A simple brochure site from a junior developer costs very differently from an e-commerce platform built by a senior team.
The calculator estimates build costs only. Hosting typically costs £10–£200/month depending on traffic and infrastructure. Ongoing maintenance (updates, backups, support) adds £50–£500/month. Factor these recurring costs into your total project budget.
The calculator gives a realistic ballpark based on current UK web development market rates. Actual quotes may vary ±30–50% based on individual developer rates, your exact requirements, and project-specific complexities not captured in the calculator. Use it to set budget expectations before talking to developers.
E-commerce functionality, custom user accounts or dashboards, complex API integrations (CRMs, payment gateways), multi-language support, and custom animations are the biggest cost drivers. Each adds significant development and testing time.
