A designer builds your site from a blank page, not a template. Hosting, your domain, SSL, daily backups and every future change are all in the £50. You see the finished website before you pay a penny.
There is no single price for web design in Dunbar, there are four different markets. Knowing which one you are shopping in saves you thousands, or months of evenings.
Wix, Squarespace and friends. Cheap and instant, but you are the designer, the copywriter and the IT department. Most owners lose several weekends and end up with a site that looks like a template, because it is one.
Often great value if you find a good one with availability. Budget separately for hosting, the domain, and £60 to £120 an hour for changes after launch, which is where the quiet costs live.
Agencies do beautiful work with proper process, and they price accordingly. For a five page small business site you are usually funding their office and account managers as much as your website.
Bespoke design from a blank page, copy written for you, UK hosting, your domain, SSL, daily backups and unlimited changes. No setup fee, no contract, and you pay nothing until you approve the finished site.
No themes, no page builders. Your site is designed around what your Dunbar customers need to see before they call, and it will not look like anyone else's.
The build costs you nothing. If the finished site is not right and we cannot fix it, you owe us nothing and off you go. That is why we have to be good.
Cancel in any month, no questions, and your logo, photos and content stay yours. Want to own the whole site, domain and code? A one-off £600 buyout and it all transfers to you.
Most of your Dunbar customers will find you on a phone. Every site is designed on a phone screen first: fast loading, readable without zooming, and a phone number a thumb can actually hit.
Hosting, domain, SSL, backups, security and every content change are in the price. Compare that with £60 to £120 an hour for changes after a traditional build.
You see the first full version within a week of your brief, and revisions are unlimited and free, before launch and forever after it.
We build for trades, salons, cafés and restaurants, independent shops, consultants, coaches and every other kind of independent business in Dunbar and across East Lothian. If your customers search for what you do in Dunbar, your website should be the one that convinces them.
A fair benchmark for a small business site: DIY builders cost £240 to £360 a year plus your own time, freelancers typically charge £800 to £3,000 up front, and agencies £2,500 to £10,000, with hosting and changes billed on top. We charge £50 a month with no setup fee, and design, hosting, domain, SSL, backups and unlimited changes are all included.
Seven days from brief to finished site. Your brief takes about ten minutes, a designer builds the site from scratch, and a week later you are reviewing the real thing, not a mock-up.
Only after you have reviewed the finished website, asked for any changes you want, and signed it off. No deposit, no setup fee, nothing up front. If you do not approve it, you pay nothing at all.
It is not cheaper work, it is a different model. No office, no account managers, no sales team, and a hard cap of 250 clients so quality never slips. You get the same bespoke design; you just pay for the website rather than the overheads.
We build every site with clean, fast code, proper page titles and descriptions, and the local signals search engines look for. No one can honestly guarantee rankings, but we make sure nothing about your site holds it back, and being quick and mobile-friendly is half the battle.
You can, and for some businesses that is the right call. Be honest about the cost though: the plans that remove their branding cost £240 to £360 a year, and the design, writing and upkeep are all evenings you will not get back. If the result does not convert visitors into calls, it is not cheap, it is just inexpensive.
