Affordable Web Design Derby — What £950 Actually Gets You
The price on the quote is the price on the invoice. No hourly rates, no scope creep, no hidden extras.
Every site written from scratch by our Derby team. No Wix, no Squarespace, no off-the-shelf themes.
Domain, hosting and code are in your name from day one. No lock-in, no monthly platform fees.
What the £950 Starter Website Includes — Every Line Item
5 Pages, Hand-Coded
Home, About, Services, Gallery or Portfolio, Contact — each page built from scratch in clean HTML and CSS. No page builder components, no shared libraries from template sites.
Mobile-First Design
Designed for mobile screens first because that is where most local searches happen. Desktop scaling built on top. Not a desktop site squeezed onto a phone.
Click-to-Call Button
Your phone number is a tappable button on every page for mobile visitors — one tap, immediate call. One of the highest-impact features for local trade and service businesses.
Enquiry Form
Contact form with spam protection, email delivery and optional auto-responder. Connected to your business email, not a third-party form builder account.
On-Page SEO
Correct meta titles and descriptions, LocalBusiness schema markup, structured headings, alt tags on all images, fast load time and Google Search Console submission on launch day.
30 Days Free Support
A full month of free post-launch support — text changes, image swaps, form tweaks, any bug fixes. No charge, no ticket system, direct contact with your developer.
Why "Affordable" Doesn't Mean What Most Agencies Think It Means
What "Affordable" Often Means Elsewhere
- A Wix or Squarespace site with "custom" design
- Monthly platform fees nobody mentions upfront
- Offshore development with UK account manager relay
- Elementor templates reskinned with your logo
- No SEO foundations — just a pretty static page
- Lock-in: moving away requires rebuilding from scratch

Affordable Web Design Derby Questions
It is a real price for a 5-page hand-coded website for a sole trader or small Derby business. We write the full scope in the quote — pages, features, SEO setup, timeline — so you can see exactly what £950 includes before committing. No hidden fees added later.
No monthly fees from Webgenix beyond what you pay your hosting provider — typically £10 to £20/month for a small business website. No CMS subscription, no platform fee, no lock-in. Optional ongoing services like local SEO Derby are separate and cancel-anytime.
A Wix site is built on Wix's platform — you rent it. If Wix changes its pricing or you want to move, you start again. Our £950 site is hand-coded: you own the code, the domain, the hosting. It loads faster, ranks better in local search and is completely portable. The upfront cost is similar; the long-term value is incomparable.
