Guide prices, subject to a written scope. All totals shown exclude third-party charges and any applicable VAT; tax treatment and the final total are confirmed before you commit. Growth prices are starting points, not fixed quotes.

TWO DIFFERENT ARRANGEMENTS

Buy the build.
Or have it managed.

ONE-OFF BUILD

Pay for the project.
Choose support separately.

The price covers the agreed website build, reviews, launch checks and handover. The proposed payment schedule is 50% to book the project and 50% after approval, before launch and handover.

  • No Clearly Online monthly build fee after final payment
  • Choose compatible hosting yourself, or care from £39/month
  • Project files and access handed over after full payment
  • New pages and ongoing content changes quoted separately

Third-party software, fonts or media retain their own licence terms. A proposal may use different milestones for a larger project.

MANAGED MONTHLY

A smaller starting payment.
A continuing service.

The setup fee is paid when the project is booked. The 12-month subscription starts when the website launches. It covers the agreed build, hosting, care and up to 30 minutes of small content edits per month.

  • 12 monthly payments plus the setup fee in the initial term
  • Small edits mean changes to existing text or images
  • Unused editing time does not roll over
  • After month 12, continue monthly or arrange a handover

This is not interest-free instalment finance: ongoing services are included. Renewal pricing, notice and any early-exit settlement are confirmed in the written agreement before signup. There is no automatic checkout or binding purchase on this site.

SEE THE WHOLE COST

No mental arithmetic
required.

Compare the current guide prices over 12 or 24 months. The one-off option below includes optional care, so the ongoing costs are visible.

Guide totals over 12 months. Managed includes hosting, care and a small editing allowance; standalone care does not include that editing allowance. Totals exclude third-party charges and any applicable VAT.

24-month estimates assume you keep the selected services at today’s guide rates. They are not a price lock or a requirement to renew after the initial managed term.

IN THE BUILD / OUTSIDE THE BUILD

The small print.
In normal-sized words.

Every website package includes

  • An agreed page list and clear project scope
  • Design, development and responsive layouts
  • Two consolidated rounds of design revisions
  • Basic search setup: titles, descriptions and sitemap
  • One agreed enquiry route and pre-launch testing
  • A handover guide for the agreed website setup

Not included unless quoted

  • Domain registration and business email
  • Paid booking tools, licences and platform fees
  • Full copywriting, photography and brand identity
  • Ecommerce, custom software or complex integrations
  • Ongoing SEO campaigns or paid advertising
  • Additional pages or changes beyond the approved scope

Growth includes planning for integrations; the specific integrations and their implementation must be named in the quote. “Growth” does not mean unlimited pages or unlimited development.

EXTRA PAGES & FEATURES

Quoted before work

Describe what you need

BEFORE YOU COMMIT

The questions worth asking.

What does “up to 4 pages” mean?

Four distinct content pages, such as Home, Services, About and Contact. Extra service pages, policy pages and large content imports need to be listed in the agreed page scope. A page is not an unlimited amount of content or functionality.

What counts as a revision?

A consolidated set of feedback on the presented design within the agreed brief. Corrections to work that does not meet the agreed specification are different from requesting a new direction. Extra design rounds or new requirements are quoted before proceeding.

When do monthly payments begin?

The setup fee is due at booking. The 12 monthly subscription payments start at launch. Content delays, project cancellation and work completed before launch are addressed in your written agreement.

What happens after the 12-month managed term?

You can continue with an agreed monthly service or request handover after the minimum term and all due payments are complete. Exportable site files and business-owned accounts can be transferred. Third-party subscriptions, migration work and platform restrictions may affect the move.

Can I cancel a managed plan early?

The headline monthly rate assumes a 12-month commitment. Any early-exit charge or settlement must be specified in the agreement before you sign. It is not an unrestricted cancel-anytime plan during that initial term.

Will I own my domain and website?

Your domain should be registered in your business’s own account. For one-off builds, handover follows full payment. For managed plans, transfer follows the agreed minimum term and full payment. Third-party tools and media remain subject to their licences.

Are the prices final?

These are guide packages, not binding offers. You receive a written quote with deliverables, fees, tax treatment, external costs, payment dates and terms before work begins. The Growth package and support starting rates vary with scope.

Is an SEO result included in the price?

Search-ready structure is included in a website build. Search positions, traffic, enquiries and revenue are not guaranteed. Ongoing content and SEO work are separate services.
