How much does a website cost? How long is a piece of string? We aren't being cheeky: the answer really does depend on how long that string is, and the same goes for bespoke software and digital marketing.
If we told you our absolute minimum starting cost was X when you actually need Y, we'd only have to start adding costs later, and that's not fair on you.
In the world of the internet you really do get what you pay for, which is why we don't publish prices. We'd rather chat with you about what you really need and shape a cost that maximises your return on investment.
We don't do one-size-fits-all. Each of our clients receives a unique website, service or piece of software, designed for the job in hand, with transparent, upfront costs that make it easier for you to budget. It's how we aim to keep you with us for years to come.

what changes the price/
What affects the cost of a website?
No two websites cost the same, because no two businesses need the same thing. These are the questions that shape a quote:
- How many pages does the site need?
- Is the design custom, and how much of it?
- Who is writing the words and supplying the pictures?
- Do you need to sell online or take bookings?
- Does it need to connect to other business systems?
- Are you moving from an existing website?
- Do you need SEO or Google Ads alongside it?
- Would you like us to host and look after it?

Website and software costs: quick answers
How much does a website cost?
It depends on what your business needs, so we don't publish a set price. After a free consultation, we give you a written, fixed-price quote, so you know the full cost before anything begins.
Why don't you publish your prices?
Every project is different. A headline starting price wouldn't tell you what your website would really cost, and it could leave you comparing the wrong things.
Will there be hidden extras?
No. Your quote sets out the costs upfront. Ongoing services, such as hosting, support, maintenance and marketing management, are charged separately, and we'll explain them before you decide.
Do bespoke business systems have per-seat fees?
No. There are no per-seat fees on a Cirrus bespoke system, so adding staff never adds licence costs. Our why bespoke page explains more.

Why the details matter

Why a detailed brief gets you a more accurate quote and a better website
A vague brief leads to a vague quote. Our guide explains how the details you give us shape your price and your final product, and what to include. You don't need technical language, and "we're not sure yet" is a useful answer too.
