When it fits
When the £250 Small Site makes sense
- You are launching your first business website
- You need up to 5 pages: home, services, about, contact, maybe one more
- Basic on-page SEO and mobile performance are enough for now
- Budget is tight but you still want custom code, not a builder
- You can upgrade later as the business grows
When to invest more
When the £999 Professional package makes sense
- You need more pages, service areas, or case studies
- Local search competition requires advanced SEO
- Custom branding and conversion paths matter for enquiries
- You want integrations — booking, CRM, newsletter, or analytics depth
- The website is a core growth channel, not just an online business card
