UK Website Cost Calculator

A website costs more than its build price. Over three years you also pay for hosting, a domain, changes and your own time. Put your figures in to compare the routes side by side, with Valacia priced beside them. Nothing you type leaves your browser.

Every box starts empty. Take your figures from the quotes and invoices you already have, and leave a box blank to count it as zero.

Valacia Business is £59 a month, or £649 a year with one month free. It adds online bookings, each confirmed by email, with a deposit or the full price taken by card when you ask for one.

It also adds a link to your till, marketing email campaigns and two Site Seats for your people, with more available. Its domain is counted as for Pro. A card payment taken with a booking carries the payment fee shown on the pricing page, which this total leaves out.

The monthly fee you have been quoted.

You manage Valacia yourself, from a phone, a tablet or a computer, so your hours count on Valacia just as they do with a builder. Value an hour of your time fairly, because it can be the largest figure here.

The Formulas

How This Is Calculated

Every route below is a plain sum over thirty-six months, and you can check each one on paper.

Valacia, On Our Published Prices

(plan price × 36, or yearly price × 3) + domain a year × 3 + hours a month × 36 × your hourly value

You manage it yourself in Valacia Studio, and we host it on Google Cloud.

Three years of Pro comes to £648 and of Business to £2,124 paying monthly, or £594 and £1,947 paying yearly, because a year is priced at eleven months.

The free trial is not counted.

A Builder You Run Yourself

monthly fee × 36 + domain a year × 3 + hours a month × 36 × your hourly value

Your hours count too, at whatever you say an hour of your time is worth. A blank box counts as zero. For what you get beyond the cost, see Valacia compared with website builders.

A Freelance Or Contract Build

one-off build + hosting a month × 36 + domain a year × 3 + changes a year × 3 × price per change

Hosting and changes keep being billed after the build is paid for, so both are counted for all thirty-six months.

A Pay-Monthly Website Someone Else Changes

monthly fee × 36 + domain a year × 3

Because the provider makes the changes, your own hours are not counted here. The figure is only as accurate as what the fee covers.

Our prices are published in full, and each one is the total you pay.

Before You Decide

What A Calculator Cannot Tell You

The total is only part of the decision. Rankings, your own time, price changes and the freedom to leave matter just as much.

Where You Will Rank

Nobody can promise you a ranking. No figure here stands for one. What a website can be held to is the groundwork: pages that load fast and that search engines can read and list.

On Valacia that groundwork, the technical SEO, is included, and where you rank still depends on your market.

What Your Own Time Is Worth

Only you can price your own time. If you enjoy working on the website, those hours may not feel like a cost. If every one of them is an hour taken from your business, they can be the largest figure on the page.

What Happens When The Price Changes

We email you at least thirty days before the price of an active Valacia subscription changes, and you may cancel first at no charge. The wording you can hold us to is clause 5.1 of the Valacia Terms.

Whether You Can Leave

A monthly Valacia plan has no minimum term and no cancellation fee. Your domain stays registered in your name. A three-year total means little if you are locked in for all three.

FAQs

Questions About Website Costs

How Much Does A Website Cost In The UK?

The route you take decides it. On our own prices, after a 14-day free trial, Valacia Pro is £18 a month and Business is £59 a month: £648 or £2,124 over three years, paying monthly.

A builder, a freelance build or a pay-monthly website costs whatever its provider charges, so the calculator takes those figures from your own quotes.

What Is The Average Cost Of Website Design For A Small Business?

No single average is worth trusting, because the cost depends on what the website has to do, who changes it and who hosts it afterwards. Our prices give you a fixed point. Put the quotes you already have into the calculator and compare them over three years.

Why Three Years And Not One?

One year flatters a one-off build price, because hosting, a domain and changes have barely begun to add up. Three years gives the running costs time to show, and it is still a period a small or medium-sized business can plan around.

Do You Publish Other Providers' Prices Here?

No. Prices change and vary by contract, so any figure we filled in for another provider would quickly go out of date. Use the figures from your own quotes and invoices.

Is Anything I Type Sent To You?

No. The calculator runs in your browser. What you type is not sent to us or stored, and it is forgotten when you close the tab. No shareable link carries your figures.

Why Does Valacia Count My Own Hours?

Because you manage a Valacia website yourself, in Valacia Studio, from a phone, a tablet or a computer. We host, secure and back up the platform, and the wording and the photographs are yours to change. Leaving your hours out would flatter us.

Which Route Should I Choose?

That is your call, on your own numbers. Put them in, set the three-year totals side by side and decide.

If you want a website you manage yourself, at a fixed monthly price with nothing to pay up front, Valacia fits, and its plans are on the pricing page. If you would rather somebody else made every change, compare the freelance and pay-monthly routes.

A business that needs software designed around the way it works is looking at a custom SaaS application, priced on our custom SaaS page.
