Pricing · Fixed and quoted up front

What it costs.
Before you commit.

A fixed price agreed before any work starts. No hourly billing, no invoice that grows as the project does, and nothing to pay each month unless you decide you want it.

The baseline

The basics are not extras.

Every website includes all of this, whichever package you choose. None of it is an upgrade and none of it is charged separately.

  • Bespoke design, never a template
  • Built to work on every screen size
  • SEO foundations — structure, metadata, sitemap, Search Console
  • 90+ performance target, tested on mobile
  • Contact form with spam protection
  • Your enquiry, booking or other primary customer pathway connected
  • Existing reviews migrated across
  • Trustpilot and Google reviews embedded
  • Analytics set up and explained to you
  • Accessibility baseline — semantic structure, labelled forms, keyboard navigation, visible focus and AA colour contrast
  • Domain and hosting configured
  • Handover session — you own everything
  • Basic editing guidance — we show you how to update straightforward text and replace images in your website files, with a clear guide to refer back to

Payment after design approval. The project price is requested only after you have seen and approved the mock design.

No compulsory monthly fees. Support plans below are optional, and the site keeps working if you never take one.

Website packages

Three ways to start.

Priced by what the website needs to do, not by how long it takes us. If your project sits between two packages, we will tell you which one it belongs in before you pay anything.

Optional monthly plans

Support that matches your pace.

Website Updates

£39/ month

Up to 30 minutes for simple text, price, opening-hour or image changes.

Active Content

From £179 / month

Up to four hours for regular page updates and up to four client-supplied articles.

Plans cover editing, testing and deployment. Copywriting, major redesigns, advanced functionality and third-party costs are quoted separately. Unused time does not roll over.

Before you ask

The questions that decide the price.

Who writes the words?

You do, in most cases — nobody knows your business, offer and audience better than you. You can send rough notes rather than finished copy; tidying and structuring what you send is included. Writing it from scratch is a separate add-on, and we will confirm this before work starts.

How many rounds of revisions are included?

Two consolidated revision rounds are included after the coded website is first presented. They cover reasonable changes within the approved mock and project scope. A completely new direction, additional pages or new functionality is quoted separately.

How long does it take?

Essential’s first working website prototype is normally delivered within one week after design approval. Reef’s first working website prototype is normally delivered within approximately two to three weeks. Deep timings depend on what is being built and are agreed before payment. Final launch timing can vary depending on content delivery, feedback and revisions.

What if I need more pages later?

Extra pages are added as an add-on at any time. You are not locked into the package you started with, and nothing has to be rebuilt to grow.

Do I own the website?

Yes — entirely. The domain, the hosting account and the finished site are in your name. You can stay with us, take it to another developer, or leave it exactly as it is without paying anything further.

What happens if I cancel a support plan?

The website carries on working. Support plans are optional and cancel monthly; nothing switches off and nothing is held back.

Are there other costs?

Domain registration is roughly £10–£15 a year. Hosting is free at the traffic levels most small businesses see. Any paid third-party service you choose — a booking platform, an email service — is billed to you by that provider at their price, never marked up.

Full ownership as standard

Your account. Your files. Your website.

The domain, Cloudflare account and completed website remain under your control. You can use Depth Digital, work with another developer or leave the website unchanged without paying us a monthly fee.
