How Much Does a Website Cost in Hull? A Plain-English Guide for 2026

The short answer

There is no single price for a website, because "a website" can mean a single page with your phone number or a full online shop with stock control. What you are really paying for is time: how many pages need designing and writing, and how much the site has to do.

At DevsMint, a Hull web design studio, we keep it simple: £99 per page, with hosting included free. A typical 5-page small business site (Home, Services, About, Reviews, Contact) is £495. Anything that needs extra functionality, like online booking, a shop or a customer portal, gets a fixed price before we start.

The rest of this guide explains what changes the price, so you can compare quotes from any Hull web designer fairly.

What actually drives the price of a website

1. Number of pages

Each page needs designing, writing and checking on phones and desktops. A one-page site is the cheapest option and works for some trades. Most local businesses need 4–6 pages so each service can have its own page, which also helps you show up for more searches on Google.

2. What the site needs to do

A brochure site that shows your services and takes enquiries is the simplest kind. Prices rise when the site needs to:

• take bookings or appointments
• sell products and take payments
• let customers log in
• connect to other software (your CRM, accounts or calendar)

These are usually quoted separately because the work varies a lot between businesses.

3. Who writes the words and takes the photos

If you supply the text and photos, the build is faster. If you need copywriting or photography, that is extra time. Either way, the words matter more than most people expect: Google ranks pages on what they say, and customers decide on what they read.

4. Hosting, maintenance and updates

This is where quotes differ the most. Some agencies charge a low build price and a monthly fee for hosting, security updates and small changes. Others charge more up front. Neither is wrong, but you should know the total cost over two or three years, not just the first invoice.

We include hosting, SSL and backups free with every site.

What to check in any website quote

Before you sign with anyone, ask these questions:

1. What is the total cost in year one and year two? Include hosting, domain, updates and any monthly fees.
2. Is the site built for phones first? Most local searches happen on mobile.
3. Will it be set up for local search? Page titles, your town in the right places, a Google Business Profile, and fast loading.
4. How do I make small changes later? Can you edit text yourself, or does every change cost money?
5. Who will I actually speak to? A named person who builds the site, or an account manager?
6. Can I see sites you have built for real businesses? Ask for live links, not just screenshots.

DIY builder, freelancer or agency?

• DIY website builders are cheap to start, but you pay a subscription for as long as the site exists, and the time you spend building it is time not spent on your business.
• Larger agencies suit bigger projects with several people involved, and their prices reflect their team size.
• A small local studio like ours sits in between: a proper custom site, a fixed price, and you talk directly to the developer.
