Website Design Pricing for UK Trades

A professionally built trade website in the UK typically costs £1,000 to £3,000 as a one-off. Social Gravity’s fixed packages are £1,250 for Starter (up to 5 pages), £2,100 for Growth (up to 10 pages and 4 area pages) and £3,800 for Authority (up to 20 pages, 10 area pages and case studies), all plus VAT. Every package includes copywriting, design, local SEO setup and 3 months of free hosting.

The build is a one-off fixed price, and there is no monthly fee for the first 3 months. After that you choose Website Care at £35 plus VAT a month, which covers hosting, updates, backups, security monitoring, small edits and support, or Hosting Only at £125 plus VAT a year, which keeps the site online and nothing more. There is no long contract either way.

Everything needed to launch a site that brings in enquiries: all the words written for you, service and area pages, a mobile-first design with click-to-call and quote forms, a project gallery with before-and-afters, Google reviews shown on the site, local SEO setup linked to your Google Business Profile, an AI chatbot, an instant quote calculator or online booking, professional team photos at SG Studios, and 3 months of free hosting and management.

There are no hidden costs. The package price is fixed and shown plus VAT at the UK standard rate of 20 percent, which you reclaim if your business is VAT registered. The only ongoing cost starts after your free 3 months, and that is your choice of Website Care or Hosting Only. Anything extra, like more pages or features, is quoted upfront before any work starts.

Yes, 100 percent. Your website, domain and all the content are yours from day one. If you ever want to move to another host or agency, we hand everything over. Pay-monthly website deals in the UK often keep ownership with the provider, so check that before you sign anything.

Because the cheap site is usually a template with your name dropped in, and the parts that make UK homeowners call are the parts it leaves out: service and area pages for each town you cover, Google reviews on the site, a quote form, local SEO setup and words written for your trade. Starter at £1,250 plus VAT includes all of that, and one job normally covers the difference.

Yes, if you want jobs that are yours alone. On Checkatrade or MyBuilder you pay to sit beside your competitors and share the same leads. Your own website ranks for your trade in your town, shows your reviews and photos, and sends the enquiry to you only. Most trades keep the directory listing and use the website to stop depending on it.

Yes. We rebuild it properly, move over anything worth keeping, and redirect every old page to its new one so the Google rankings you have already earned carry across. The rebuild is priced as a normal package, so you pay the same fixed price as a new site.
