Website prices, explained honestly.

What websites typically cost in the UK, what changes the price, what you’ll pay each month, and why hiring a professional usually costs less than doing it yourself.

Do it yourself, or hire a pro?

Website builders look cheap. Until you count your time.

Wix and Squarespace are fine for a hobby. For a business that needs customers, here’s the honest comparison.

Do it yourself
With Bastian Studio
Your time
Do it yourself: Evenings and weekends learning the tool
With me: A couple of short calls and a review
Design
Do it yourself: The same templates thousands of others use
With me: Designed around your business and customers
Words
Do it yourself: You write it all yourself
With me: Copy written to sell, with you
Speed & mobile
Do it yourself: Often slow and clunky on phones
With me: Built fast and tested on every device
Google & SEO
Do it yourself: Basics only, and easy to get wrong
With me: Set up properly, including Google Maps
Enquiries
Do it yourself: Looks nice, but passive
With me: Built around calls, forms and bookings
When it breaks
Do it yourself: Help forums and support tickets
With me: A local person who picks up the phone
True cost
Do it yourself: Monthly fees + your time + missed enquiries
With me: A one-off investment that pays for itself
