Your Budget Shapes Your Website
And That’s a Good Thing
If you walked into a car dealership that sold everything from a Ford to and Ferrari, you wouldn’t just ask, “How much do you charge for a car?”
The answer would be, “It depends, what do you need it to do, and how much do you want to invest?”
Websites work the same way. Your budget determines the features, performance, and long-term value you can get and my job is to make sure you get the best possible version for what you can spend.
Why I Ask for Your Budget
When you share your budget upfront, I can:
-
Maximise value: Channel funds into the features and design elements that matter most for your goals.
-
Avoid waste: Skip things you don’t need right now, without closing the door to adding them later.
-
Plan smart: Choose the right tools, integrations, and build approach for your price range.
Without knowing your budget, I’d have to guess. Guessing means either underbuilding (so it can’t do the job) or overpricing (so you pay for more than you need).
Why Every Website Price is Different
Even two “simple” sites can have totally different costs. These aren’t extras, they’re the difference between a site that just exists online and one that actually works hard to grow your business.
Website Size & Scope
More pages and complex content take more time and resources, just like bigger houses cost more to build.
Functionality
Interactive maps, forms, or member areas make your site more useful, but also more complex to create.
Design Approach
A simple template is quick and affordable. A custom design is unique and memorable. Your choice affects both style and price.
How to Get the Right Price for You
That’s why I ask every client to complete my Website Brief honestly.
It’s not just paperwork, it’s how I figure out what your site really needs to achieve and how to build it in the smartest way for your budget.
A Quick Exercise
If you want to see what affects cost in a simple, visual way, try the What Influences Website Pricing page. It’s not a quote generator, it’s just a quick way to understand the moving parts behind a website price.
