What does it mean to have a website built in London?
Having a website built in London means working with a local agency that knows your city and your customers. You’ll build a site that suits your company, and you’ll be in close contact with the people working on it. In practice, you choose an agency, discuss your objectives, and the team translates these into a design, the technical implementation and the copy. For a Nijmegen-based entrepreneur, working locally has its advantages: you can pop into the office on Kerkenbos, you speak Dutch with dedicated points of contact, and the agency understands the region. Would you rather see what the service entails first? Take a look at our page about website design for the full explanation.

That’s how you’ll climb to the top of Google’s rankings, both locally and nationally. Would you like to focus your efforts on this? Take a look at our approach for search engine optimisation (SEO).

How much does it cost to have a website built in London?
A professional website for SMEs in the United Kingdom usually costs between 2,500 and 7,500 pounds. The exact price depends on the number of pages, bespoke services and features. The guide prices below will give you an idea; during a free consultation, we’ll tailor the details to your specific plan.
| Type of website | Guide price (one-off) | For whom |
|---|---|---|
| One-pager / starter | from €1,500 | Freelancers and start-ups |
| SME company website | €2.500 – €7.500 | Most entrepreneurs |
| Webshop | €4.000 – €15.000 | Online sales |

Build the website yourself or have it built for you?
You can build it yourself using tools such as Wix or a WordPress theme, but it takes a lot of time and the quality often falls short. Having it built costs money, but results in a faster, more secure and more easily discoverable site. A brief consideration:
- Do it yourself: Inexpensive in terms of money, but time-consuming; ideal for a simple start, but challenging in terms of discoverability and growth.
- Have it created: Professional design, robust technology, effective SEO and support; you’ll have time left over to focus on your business.
- The middle ground: We lay the foundations; you manage the content yourself. This way, you combine quality with control over your own project.

Frequently asked questions about having a website built in London
Here you’ll find answers to frequently asked questions about having a website built.
How long does it take to have a website built?
For most SME websites in London, you can expect the process to take four to eight weeks. A simple one-pager can be completed more quickly, whilst an online shop or bespoke project will take longer. The biggest factor is you: if you supply your text and images on time and provide prompt feedback, the process can be shortened by a few weeks.
Do I need to be based in London to work with you?
No. We work for entrepreneurs throughout the United Kingdom, but are based in London. If you’re in the area, it’s easy to pop round to Kerkenbos. If you’re further afield, we can handle everything perfectly well online via video calls, email and telephone.
Will I be able to edit my website myself afterwards?
Yes. We build on WordPress, so you can edit texts, photos and pages yourself. Upon handover, we’ll explain how it works. If you’d rather leave it to us, we’ll take care of maintenance and updates for you.
How much does it cost to have a website built in London?
A professional SME website usually costs between 2,500 and 7,500 pounds, depending on its scope and level of bespoke design. A starter site is cheaper, whilst an online shop or platform is more expensive. During a free consultation, we’ll provide you with a specific price based on your requirements.
Do you also build online shops?
Absolutely. As well as corporate websites, we build online shops in WordPress using WooCommerce. You’ll get a shop that’s easy to manage, offers secure payments and is easy to find online. Handy for shops in Nijmegen that also want to sell online.
Do you also ensure that I can be found on Google?
Yes. We deliver your website with a robust technical foundation and write content optimised for the right keywords. If you want to actively improve your search rankings, including locally in London, we’ll implement targeted SEO and set up your Google Business Profile effectively.
What is the difference between a bespoke website and a standard website?
The difference lies in the foundation. A standard website is built on an existing theme or template that you customise with your own colours, logo and text. A bespoke website is designed and built from the ground up specifically for your company, without the limitations of an existing design. This difference is reflected in almost everything: a standard site is ready more quickly and at a lower cost, whilst a bespoke website is fully flexible, unique and scalable. The downside of a bespoke solution is a higher investment and a longer development time. In short: if you’re prioritising speed and affordability, a standard site is the right choice; if you have unique requirements or major growth plans, a bespoke solution is the better foundation. Which one is best depends entirely on your situation.
Is there an option for website hosting and keeping the website up-to-date?
Yes, we also offer WordPress hosting and WordPress support and maintenance for your WordPress website. This means we make sure your website is always fast, secure and up-to-date with the latest updates and security patches. This way, you have nothing to worry about.
