One of the first questions business owners ask us is:
“How much does a website cost?”
The truth? It depends.
The better question is: What are you actually paying for?
Let’s break down how web design pricing works in 2025, and how SiteMint approaches it differently to keep things transparent, fair, and flexible.
Typical Web Design Pricing Models
Most designers or agencies charge using one of the following:
1. Hourly or Day Rate (£40–£800+/hr)
Common for freelancers and specialists. The risk? You don’t always know how long things will take—or what the final price will be.
2. Fixed Packages (£500–£10,000+)
Agencies often offer “starter,” “professional,” or “e-commerce” tiers. The catch? Many use templates, drag timelines out, and add hidden costs later (hosting, updates, edits, etc.).
3. Subscription-Based Builders (£10–£100/month)
DIY platforms like Wix or Squarespace sound cheap, but require your time—and often, mediocre design or poor SEO performance.
What SiteMint Does Differently
At SiteMint, we don’t believe in charging based on complexity or buzzwords. We keep it lean, fair, and focused on value.
Fixed price. No surprises.
Delivery within 72 hours.
Includes design, copy, setup, and launch.
Post-launch support included.
Our pricing varies case by case—but you’ll always know what you’re paying and exactly what’s included.
What If You Can’t Afford a Custom Site Right Now?
We get it. That’s why we sometimes pre-build websites for industries like salons, electricians, cafés, and creative freelancers.
These fully-built websites are available at discounted rates via our SiteMint Auction—perfect for getting a premium site at a lower price point.
What You’re Really Paying For
When you buy a SiteMint site, you're not just paying for a layout. You’re investing in:
Better visibility on search engines
More customer trust
More leads, bookings, or sales
More time to focus on your actual business
It’s not a cost—it’s a growth tool. One that pays for itself quickly when built right.
