Why the lowest price is often one page
Web designers often advertise a low starting price. Read what it includes. One-page offers we found in the UK in November 2026 start at about £300. That page holds your services, reviews and contact details together, and hosting and the domain may still be extra.
What one page can't do
- Answer different searches. A page has one title and one description. Someone looking for boiler repair and someone looking for a new bathroom want different answers, and one page has to say everything at once.
- Cover the areas you work in. A list of towns at the bottom doesn't tell a customer much. Real areas with real jobs need room.
- Show your work. Photos and reviews are what win the job. On one page they push each other down, and more photos make it slower on a phone.
- Stay easy to read. A customer on a phone has to scroll past everything to find the one thing they came for.
- Grow with you. When you add a service, you need a new section on a page that is already long, or a new website.
When one page is enough
- Nearly all your work comes from word of mouth, and people only want to check you are real.
- You offer one service in one town, and you don't need new customers from Google.
- You need something simple for a short time, such as for an event.
If that's you, one page is fine, and it may be all you should buy.
What a normal small business website has
| Page | What it does |
|---|---|
| Home | Says what you do and where, with one clear way to contact you |
| Services | Explains what you offer. With several services, each one gets its own page |
| Areas | Shows where you work, so nobody has to ask |
| Work and reviews | Proves you do good work |
| Contact | A phone number you can press, and a simple form |
That's about 5 pages for a simple business, and more if you have several services or areas. You also need a privacy notice if your website collects enquiries.
What to ask before you buy
- How many pages does this price cover?
- Who writes the text?
- What do hosting and the domain cost after launch, every year?
- What does it cost to add a page later?
- Who owns the domain and the files if I leave?
What we charge
