What should a website like yours cost?

A price on its own tells you very little. Choose what your website needs and see the work behind the number, priced at day rates you can change. It runs in your browser: nothing you choose leaves it unless you ask Adam for the full report.

Notes on the figures

A simple brochure site can take less, a site with unusual features more.

The day rates are examples. Ask two or three people for quotes and put their day rates in instead.

A DIY website builder is priced differently: a monthly plan, and your own time to do the work in the ledger. The plan prices are examples too. Check the builder’s own price list, and which plan includes the features you ticked.

Want the full report? Adam emails it.

Adam looks at the website you have now and says whether you need a new one at all, or whether a few fixes would do: the three things worth fixing first, in plain English.
