Before you ask.
A business website built on WordPress or Next.js with a CMS, up to 10–15 pages, and a contact form typically runs £1,200–£4,000. Projects with larger page counts, custom functionality, or bespoke design systems sit higher. Every engagement starts with a scoped proposal.
A straightforward business website takes 4–8 weeks from a confirmed brief to launch. Projects with complex content structures or multiple integrations typically land at 8–12 weeks. We give a realistic timeline at the scoping stage, not a sales-pitch estimate.
WordPress is the right call when your team needs to publish and edit content frequently without developer involvement — the CMS is familiar and the editor experience is well-understood. Next.js is better when performance is a priority, the site has app-like features, or the content model is too structured for WordPress's page-based approach. We make this decision per project and explain the reasoning.
Yes. A redesign that preserves your URL structure, 301-redirects any changed paths, carries over structured data and canonical tags, and maintains or improves Core Web Vitals will not lose organic equity. We include an SEO audit and redirect mapping as part of any migration or redesign engagement.
