How Much Does a Website Cost for a Beauty or Wedding Business in the UK?
How much does a website cost UK? It’s one of the most common questions I’m asked by beauty and wedding business owners planning a new website.
If you’ve been researching website costs, you’ve probably noticed one thing very quickly — the prices are all over the place. From a few hundred pounds to several thousand, it can be hard to know what’s realistic, what’s worth it, and what you actually need.
As a website designer specialising in beauty, wedding and creative businesses, this is one of the most common questions I’m asked. In this post, I’ll walk you through what affects website pricing, what’s typically included, and how I price my own website projects — so you can make an informed decision without the overwhelm.
Why Do Website Prices Vary So Much?
There isn’t a single “right” price for a website, because no two businesses — or websites — are the same. The cost usually depends on a few key factors:
The size of your website (number of pages and features)
The level of customisation required
Whether branding, copy or imagery is needed
Ongoing support, hosting and maintenance
Experience of the designer
A DIY website or basic template setup will naturally cost less upfront, but often requires more time, stress and fixing later on. A professionally built website is an investment — one designed to support your business, attract the right clients and convert visitors into enquiries.
How I Price Website Projects
I charge for website design by the hour, rather than offering fixed “one-size-fits-all” packages. This allows flexibility and ensures you’re only paying for what your business actually needs.
To keep things simple and stress-free, I also incorporate the cost of key essentials into your project, including:
WordPress setup
A premium website template
Hosting
SSL security
Website build and setup
This means you don’t need to source multiple services or worry about the technical side — everything is handled for you in one place.
I work exclusively with WordPress and templates, which allows me to create beautiful, bespoke-feeling websites without unnecessary complexity or inflated costs.
What Do Clients Typically Invest?
Most website projects typically fall between £1,200–£1,600, depending on the size of the site, the level of customisation and the support required.
A recent standard website project came to £1,100, which included the full design process, WordPress setup, premium template, hosting, SSL security and launch support. This is a good example of a straightforward build, while larger or more content-led projects tend to sit at the higher end of the range.
This approach allows each website to be priced fairly based on the time and care it requires, rather than a fixed one-size-fits-all package.
During our initial conversation, we’ll talk through:
Your business goals
What your website needs to do
Any existing content, branding or imagery
Where you’d like support
From there, I can give you a realistic idea of time, cost and next steps — no pressure, no hard sell.
Is This Approach Right for You?
My website design services are best suited to beauty, wedding and creative business owners who want:
A calm, guided process
A professional, polished online presence
A website that feels aligned with their brand
Something that not only looks good, but works for their business
If you’d like a website that reflects your expertise, attracts the right clients and supports your growth, investing in professional design is one of the most impactful decisions you can make.
For beauty and wedding businesses, pricing depends on functionality, branding and content. You can see what’s included in my bridal & beauty website design services here.
