Website Cost Calculator
Pick what you need and see a realistic range in your own currency — before you talk to anyone. The numbers below are what I actually quote, not a lead-capture gimmick.
How these numbers compare locally
It's worth knowing what the same project costs where you are, so the range above means something.
| Project | Ireland, local | UK, local | This calculator |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brochure site | €300 – €1,500 | £500 – £1,500 | the low band |
| Small business site | €1,500 – €7,000 | £1,500 – £3,000 | the middle band |
| Online shop | €2,500 – €20,000+ | £3,000 – £10,000 | the upper band |
| Hourly, freelance | €30 – €80 | £25 – £120 | quoted per project, not per hour |
Local figures from published 2026 pricing guides for Ireland and the UK. Agencies sit well above these: a London full-service studio starts around £8,000 and a mid-size agency around £5,000 for the same brief.
I sit well below local freelance rates and far below agencies, and the reason is structural rather than a discount: there is no studio overhead, no account manager and no sales team between you and the person writing the code. It is not a cheaper standard of work — the sites in the portfolio are the standard.
What isn't in the number
Domain and hosting are yours and billed by your provider directly — typically €10–€50 a year for a domain and €50–€500 a year for hosting, depending on what the site needs. I'll set them up and hand over the logins; I don't resell them or mark them up.
Stock photography, if you need it, is quoted separately. So is anything that turns out to need a third-party licence.

Send me the specifics and you'll get a written scope and a fixed price in your own currency — usually within one working day, with milestones so you're never paying ahead of delivered work.
