Fixed-price packages

Fixed prices, and you can spread them over the year.

Everything we do is quoted on a fixed fee and agreed in writing before you commit to anything. We will not be the cheapest studio you speak to, and we would rather explain why than pretend otherwise. What we will not do is send you a charge you did not see coming.

Fixed fee

Agreed in writing before we start, so there is no hourly creep.

Spread over 12 months

Or pay for the year up front and pay noticeably less.

Nothing hidden

Hosting, SSL, backups and updates are in the price, not billed later.

Not happy, not paying

If the finished site is not right, you owe us nothing. We just cannot publish it.

How the monthly option works. Twelve months in total: one payment as a deposit, then eleven monthly payments starting once your site is live. After the twelve months you move onto a Maintain and Refresh plan.
Something bigger? Sites that do not fit a Web Starter package, larger shops, membership sites, course platforms or big rebuilds, are quoted individually. Same fixed-fee approach, just priced on the actual job.

03 / Additional services

Priced separately, only if you need them.

None of these sit inside a Web Starter package, because not everybody wants them. We work out on the scoping call which ones are genuinely worth it for you.

Domain prices vary by extension, so a .co.uk and a .com are not the same, and a domain is a one-off payment rather than part of the monthly figure. Everything else here is quoted before any work starts.

04 / Comparing us with others

We will not be the cheapest. Here is what to check.

Get other quotes, genuinely. Just line them up properly, because a lower headline figure usually means something underneath has been left out and will turn up on a later invoice.

Are hosting, SSL and email in the price, or added in year two at a renewal rate nobody mentioned?

Who owns the site and the domain? If they are registered to the agency, moving later means starting again.

Are backups off-site and daily, or sitting on the same server as the site they are meant to save?

Who do you ring when it breaks, and is that the same person who built it?

From our first discussion to the site going live took only 10 days. Our online enquiries and orders have increased dramatically. Choosing Web X Design Studio was one of the best business decisions we have made.

05 / Straight answers

Money questions, answered plainly.

Ask us anything else on the call, including what we would do if it were our own money.

Because the price covers the whole thing: hosting, email, SSL, backups, security, search engine groundwork and somebody senior doing the work. Cheaper quotes are usually cheaper because one of those is missing, and you tend to find out which one later.

Fixed. You know the figure before you sign, and it is itemised so you can see what each part costs and drop anything you would rather not pay for. The only way it changes is if you ask for something new, and we agree that first.

Twelve months in total. One payment as a deposit to get started, then eleven monthly payments beginning once the site is live. After the twelve months you move onto a Maintain and Refresh plan. Paying for the year up front works differently: a 10% deposit to start, and the balance when your site goes live.

Yes, and by a fair margin. Web Starter 5 is 750 pounds paid up front against 900 pounds spread monthly, and the same sort of discount applies across our hosting and CRM plans. If your cash flow allows it, paying for the year is the better deal.

Then you do not pay for it. We would obviously not be able to publish it, but we are not going to invoice you for something you are unhappy with. It has not happened yet, mostly because you see the design early and often rather than at the end.

Photography, professional copywriting, logo design, a style guide, translation, an online shop and advertising management are all priced separately, since not everybody needs them. We work out which are worth it for you on the call.

You move onto a Maintain and Refresh plan, starting as low as hosting on its own at 20 pounds a month. You are welcome to take the site elsewhere instead, and we will hand over everything you need without making it awkward.

Get a fixed price for your site.

One call, about an hour, and you get an itemised quote you can hold up against anyone else's. Free, no obligation, and no pressure afterwards.
