Web Design for London Businesses, from a UK Team That Publishes Its Prices

We're a small web design and development studio based in Derby, and we work with London clients remotely. That means no London overheads in your quote, a fixed price agreed in writing before work starts, and a direct line to the developer building your site. Websites start from £950, and we'll send you a fixed-price quote within 24 hours.

Website design services for London businesses

Every business needs something slightly different from its website. Here's what we build, who each option suits, and where prices start.

Business and brochure websites

A clear, professional site that explains what you do and makes it easy for people to get in touch. Ideal for consultants, trades, agencies, clinics and professional services.

Take a new accountancy practice in Hackney. Its website needs to answer three questions quickly: what services it offers, who it works with, and how to book a call. A well-planned brochure site puts those answers on the first screen, on any device. Starter sites begin at £950 for five pages, and business sites with a blog and more pages start from £1,800. See our brochure website design service for more detail.

E-commerce websites

Online shops built on Shopify or WooCommerce, with custom design, secure payments and stock management. Good product pages and a short, simple checkout matter more than flashy features — a shopper who has to create an account before paying is a shopper you may lose. E-commerce sites start from £2,500 for up to 100 products. Read more about our e-commerce websites for UK businesses or Shopify store design.

Custom websites and web apps

When an off-the-shelf platform can't do what you need — a booking system, a client portal or an internal tool — we build it from scratch in Laravel and React. Custom web apps start from £6,500 and are quoted after a discovery call. Find out more about custom websites and web apps.

Website redesigns

If your current site looks dated, loads slowly or is awkward on a phone, a redesign can fix it without throwing away the search visibility you've already built. We regularly move businesses from Wix, Squarespace and older WordPress sites onto faster builds, mapping every old page to its new address with 301 redirects so Google and your visitors can still find you. Here's how we approach moving your site without losing rankings.

How much does web design cost in London?

Webgenix websites for London businesses start at £950, and every project has a fixed price agreed in writing before any work begins.

For context, published UK pricing guides for 2026 put a typical agency-built small business website anywhere from a few thousand pounds to around £10,000, with London agencies often charging more. Our prices are lower because we don't carry London office costs or a layer of account managers — not because we cut corners on the build.

PackageStarting priceWhat it typically includesStarter websiteFrom £9505-page WordPress site for sole traders, trades and new businesses Business websiteFrom £1,80010–15 pages, blog, contact forms and on-page SEO E-commerce websiteFrom £2,500Shopify or WooCommerce store, custom theme, payments, up to 100 products Custom web appFrom £6,500Booking systems, portals and bespoke tools, quoted per project Care planFrom £45 a monthHosting, security updates, daily backups and small content changes

What changes the price

• Number of pages and templates: Ten pages with the same layout cost less than ten unique designs.
• Features: Bookings, memberships, calculators or integrations with your CRM or accounting software add development time.
• Content: Supplying your own words and photos keeps costs down; copywriting and image sourcing add to them.
• E-commerce complexity: Product variations, delivery rules and stock syncing all affect the build.

Can a Derby-based team design your London website?

Yes. Most website projects don't need anyone in the same room — they need clear communication, a written plan and somewhere to review progress. We provide all three, and our office at 110 Peet Street, Derby, keeps our costs well below central London rates.

That said, a London agency is sometimes the better fit. If your project needs regular in-person workshops with several departments, a team down the road may suit you more. Here's an honest comparison:

How we work with London clients remotely

Working remotely shouldn't mean waiting days for answers. Here's what it looks like day to day:

• A free discovery call: A 30–45 minute video call to understand your business, customers and goals. Your fixed-price quote follows within 24 hours.
• A written scope: Every page, feature and cost is agreed in writing before work starts, so you know exactly what you're paying for.
• Designs you can see first: We share high-fidelity designs in Figma so you can comment directly on them before any code is written.
• A private staging site: You review your new website on a private link as it's built, from your laptop or phone, and send feedback at each stage.
• Direct contact with your developer: Message us on WhatsApp, email or phone. You won't be passed between account managers.

You'll be working with our small in-house team, including founder and developer Syed Riyaz and senior developer Prateek Sharma. Meet the people who'll build your site.

Our web design process and timeline

Most small business websites launch within two to four weeks of the project starting. Larger builds take longer, and the biggest factor in staying on schedule is usually how quickly content and feedback arrive.

From first call to launch

1. Discovery call: We learn about your business and agree what the site needs to achieve.
2. Strategy and sitemap: We plan every page, the content structure and the search terms your customers use.
3. Design: You receive Figma designs for the key pages and request changes before development begins.
4. Development: We hand-code the site on a private staging environment and share progress for weekly review.
5. Launch and aftercare: We set up the domain, SSL certificate and Google Search Console, launch the site, and support you for 30 days afterwards.

How long it takes

Project typeTypical timelineSmall business or brochure website2–4 weeks E-commerce website4–8 weeks Custom web app8–16 weeks

What we need from you

• Your logo and any brand colours or fonts
• The words for each page, or notes we can turn into copy
• Photos of your team, premises or products, if you have them
• Access to your domain and any existing website
• One person who can give feedback and approve each stage

Getting these ready early is the simplest way to keep your launch date on track.

Built for phones, speed, search and accessibility

A good-looking website isn't enough if it's slow, hard to use on a phone, or invisible to search engines. Every Webgenix site is hand-coded with these basics built in from the start.

• Designed for mobile first: Most people will see your site on a phone, so we design for small screens first and scale up. Think of a plumber in Croydon: a customer with a leaking pipe wants the phone number, the areas covered and a quote button without scrolling or pinching. We put those within easy reach of a thumb. Read more about mobile-first, responsive design.
• Fast-loading pages: We compress images, serve modern formats and keep code lean, then test pages against Google's Core Web Vitals — the measures Google uses to judge loading speed and stability. If your current site is slow, see our speed and Core Web Vitals service.
• SEO foundations included: Each site launches with unique page titles and descriptions, a logical heading structure, readable web addresses, structured data, an XML sitemap, an SSL certificate and Google Search Console set up. These foundations help search engines — including AI-powered search tools — understand your business. They don't guarantee rankings, which also depend on your content, reviews and competition. Find out what goes into our SEO-friendly website builds.
• Accessible and compliant: We build with sufficient colour contrast, descriptive alt text, labelled form fields and keyboard-friendly navigation, so more people can use your site. We also set up a cookie consent banner and privacy policy page that reflect what your site actually collects, in line with UK GDPR.

Recent website projects

We've delivered 100+ projects since 2020 for businesses across the UK and beyond. A few recent examples:

• Hirepay — a payroll management web application.
• Hirezy Online — a management platform for recruitment agencies.
• Kingdom Tutoring — an education website for 7+ and 8+ exam preparation.
• Global Tourism — a web application for a chauffeur service in Edinburgh.

Not every client is local to us — Global Tourism, for example, is based in Edinburgh. See more of our recent work, or read what clients say in our Google reviews.

After launch: support, hosting and ownership

A website needs looking after once it's live. Here's what happens after launch, and what it costs.

• 30 days' free support: Every project includes a month of post-launch support for fixes and small adjustments.
• Care plans from £45 a month: Hosting, security and software updates, daily backups and small content changes, so you don't have to think about the technical side. See our website care plans.
• Ongoing SEO, if you want it: SEO retainers start from £450 a month for businesses that want to grow their search visibility actively. Learn about local SEO for UK businesses.
• Clear ownership: Your written quote sets out who owns the domain, hosting account, design files and code once the final invoice is paid, so you're never locked in.

Your other running costs are usually small: an annual domain renewal and, if you don't take a care plan, your own hosting.
