A London agency quote, without the London agency
UK web pricing has less to do with the work than the postcode. A brochure site is £500 from a freelancer in Devon and £15,000 from an agency in Shoreditch. This one is published, fixed, and the same wherever you are.
- Currency

- Time zone
- UTC+7. Replies land before your morning, not after it.
What the UK asks of your site
PECR is stricter than the GDPR on cookies
UK GDPR governs personal data, but it is PECR that governs storing anything on a visitor's device. Consent is required before non-essential cookies are set — which is why most UK sites open with a banner.
No cookies means no banner
This build sets none and loads nothing third-party, so there is nothing to consent to. That removes the banner, the consent plugin, its annual licence, and the layout shift it causes on first view.
Accessibility is rising up the agenda
The public sector has had binding accessibility regulations since 2018, and private-sector expectations follow. Accessibility basics are built in and scored on every delivery — though a Lighthouse score is a signal, not a WCAG conformance audit.
You own the code
Full IP transfer on final payment, repository included. No proprietary builder and no annual licence, so switching supplier is a clone rather than a rebuild.
What a UK site costs, and where this sits
Most UK small-business sites land between £1,500 and £6,000 from a freelancer or small agency, with £300 to £1,500 a year on top for hosting, licences and maintenance. London is its own market.

London, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Bristol, Leeds, Cardiff and Belfast — the work is remote, so the postcode stops affecting the invoice.
