Your numbers
Builder prices are the plan you would need on annual billing. Designer and agency ranges are published UK ranges and are not size-specific. Running costs for a designer-built site add hosting at £7 to £13.99 a month and a .co.uk renewal of £7.40 to £12.99 a year. Prices checked 18 October 2026. Sources below.
How to read the result
The cheapest row is not always the right one. Building it yourself costs the least in money and the most in time, and the parts that bring in customers, the writing and the local search work, are still yours to do. A designer's range is wide because the work behind it varies a lot: ask exactly what is included before comparing.
