01How a quote works

Three steps, then you decide.

  1. 1

    We talk

    A free conversation about what you need and what you are hoping to achieve. No pressure, no sales pitch.

  2. 2

    You get a written quote

    It lists exactly what is included, what is not, the timeline, and the price. Everything in plain English.

  3. 3

    You decide

    Take your time. If you say yes, we agree the details in writing and begin. If not, there is nothing to pay.

02Ways to work together

Four starting points.

Most projects sit neatly in one of these. Some mix two. Every one is quoted for you.

Ways to work together

You need a proper website

Launch

A beautifully designed site that explains what you do and makes it easy to get in touch. Ideal for new businesses, and for ones that have outgrown a template.

  • Custom design for desktop and mobile
  • Up to around eight pages
  • Contact form and search listing set up
  • Easy ways to update your own content

Price Quoted for you Typically 3 to 5 weeks

You want the site to do some of the work

Grow

A website with a system behind it: online booking, a shop, customer accounts or a dashboard that lets you run things from one place.

  • Everything in Launch
  • Booking, shop or customer accounts
  • A private admin dashboard
  • Secure online payments

Price Quoted for you Typically 6 to 10 weeks

You are creating something new

Build

A custom platform for a bigger idea: several types of user, subscriptions, special rules, or links to other systems. We design it, build it and launch it.

  • Everything in Grow
  • Several kinds of user with different access
  • Subscriptions, memberships and integrations
  • Built to grow and stay reliable

Price Quoted for you Typically 3 to 6 months

You have something already and it needs looking after

Care

Ongoing support for sites and apps, whether we built them or not: fixes, new features, updates, backups and hosting on our servers or yours.

  • Bug fixes and improvements
  • Hosting on our servers, or your choice
  • Updates, backups and monitoring
  • A person to call when something goes wrong

Price Quoted for you Typically Days to 4 weeks

03How long it takes

Typical timelines.

A guide, not a promise. Your quote will confirm yours. Projects move fastest when content and feedback come back quickly.

Typical timelines

  • A small website

    Up to about eight pages, a contact form and content you can update.

    3 to 5 weeks

  • A website with a system behind it

    Booking, a shop, customer accounts or an admin dashboard.

    6 to 10 weeks

  • A custom platform

    Several kinds of user, payments, subscriptions or links to other systems.

    3 to 6 months

  • Mobile app design

    Journeys, every screen designed and a clickable prototype, ready to build or to hand over.

    3 to 6 weeks

  • A working mobile app

    The designed app built for iPhone and Android and connected to your own engine, including testing.

    3 to 6 months

  • Fixes and new features

    Urgent fixes are usually done within days. New features are scoped in about a week and built in one to four weeks.

    Days to 4 weeks

04What shapes a quote

What makes one project different from another?

  • How many pages and how much content. More pages mean more design and more writing to organise.
  • What the site needs to do. Booking, payments, subscriptions and logins each add work, and each adds value.
  • Connections to other tools. Linking to email, accounting or other systems you already use.
  • How ready your content is. Photos and words ready to go keep things quick and keep costs down.
  • What happens after launch. Hosting and ongoing care are optional, and quoted separately so you only pay for what you want.
