If you're a business owner in Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk, or the surrounding area, you’ve probably asked yourself: “How much does a new website actually cost?” It’s a fair question — and one we hear often at Dimension Creative.

The truth is, there isn’t a fixed price for a new website. It depends on your goals, the level of design and functionality you need, and the type of website you’re after. Let’s explore what really goes into web design pricing in 2025 and how you can find the right package for your business.

Why website design prices vary

When you start researching, you might see quotes ranging from a few hundred pounds to several thousand. That’s because no two websites are quite the same. Here are the main factors that influence the cost:

Scope and complexity
A simple brochure-style website is quicker to build than a fully customised e-commerce store or membership platform. The more pages, integrations and interactive features you need, the higher the cost will be.
Template or bespoke design
Some businesses prefer to use an existing design framework, while others need something built entirely from scratch. A custom design takes more time and creative input but gives you a completely unique look.
Features and functionality
Adding blogs, booking systems, payment gateways, search filters or multi-language support all increase the amount of development work required.
Content and assets
If you already have your text, images and videos ready, that helps keep costs down. If your web designer needs to create or source these, that will be factored into the price.
SEO and performance
A modern website should be fast, responsive and search-friendly. If your package includes search engine optimisation or local SEO support, it may cost a little more but will bring long-term benefits.
Support and maintenance
Some designers include post-launch support for updates and security, while others deliver the site and hand it over. Ongoing care plans are usually billed monthly or annually.
Location and expertise
Working with a local web design agency in Suffolk or Norfolk can often be more cost-effective than hiring a London-based firm, while still giving you access to professional expertise and personal support.

Typical website costs in 2025

Here’s a general guide to help you understand what different types of websites might cost in the UK this year:

Package type	What’s included	Estimated cost*
Starter / Brochure Site	Around 4–7 pages, mobile-friendly, with a contact form and basic setup	£1,000 - £2,000
Business / Intermediate Site	More pages, blog, gallery, social integration and moderate customisation	£2,500 - £5,500
Advanced / E-commerce Site	Online shop, advanced integrations and custom functionality	£6,000 - £10,000+

*These figures are only guides and can vary depending on your requirements.

If you see a price that seems unusually low, make sure you understand what’s included. A well-built, secure website with proper SEO foundations is a long-term investment, not just a one-off purchase.

What should be included in a good website design package?

A professional website design package should give you everything you need to launch confidently and make a strong impression online. At a minimum, it should include:

Initial consultation and project planning
Clear website structure and user-friendly navigation
Mobile-responsive design
Basic on-page SEO setup (titles, meta descriptions, image tags)
Speed and performance optimisation
Post-launch support or training

At Dimension Creative, we also provide branding and digital marketing services to complement your website. This means you can handle everything — from your logo to your online strategy — under one roof.
