What do our small business web design packages include, and what do they cost?

Three fixed packages. The AED figure is the contract price; the £ figure converts it at the European Central Bank reference rate of 10 November 2026, so treat it as approximate. Quotes can be issued in GBP.

Selling online

Why are these prices lower than most UK agencies?

London agencies often quote minimums of £8,000 to £12,000 for a new site. Our numbers are lower for reasons you can check, not because corners are cut:

  1. Fixed scope. Page count, sections and revision rounds are written into the proposal, so nothing is padded for unknowns.
  2. A tested section library. The starter packages are styled to your brand from sections we have already built and tested. A bespoke design is a separate, higher price, and we say so.
  3. A small founder-led studio working remotely from Dubai. There is no UK office rent inside the price.
  4. You supply the words, the photos, the domain and the hosting. These are the parts agencies often mark up.
  5. What it is not: a monthly rental, a builder subscription or "unlimited revisions".

Packages

Which package suits a sole trader, a partnership or a limited company?

Your situationPackageWhy
New sole trader with one serviceOne-Page Website Launchone page answers who you are, what you do, where, and how to contact you
Established local firm with several servicesSmall Business Websitea page per service plus About and Contact gives Google something to rank for each service

A limited company, a partnership and a sole trader all buy the same packages; what changes is the legal information the site must carry (see the legal section below).

The market

How does a studio in Dubai work with a UK small business?

Dubai keeps UTC+4 all year. While the UK is on GMT (late October to late March), a UK morning of 09:00–14:00 is 13:00–18:00 in Dubai, so half your working day overlaps ours; during British Summer Time the gap narrows to three hours. The UAE working week runs Monday to Friday, like yours.

Calls happen on Google Meet or Zoom, every decision is confirmed in writing, and you have one named contact from brief to launch. You review the build on a private staging link rather than in a meeting room.

The market

What happens in the 24 business hours after I send a brief?

We read the brief, check what the package covers and what it doesn't, and send an itemised proposal: pages, sections, inclusions, exclusions, timeline and price. If something you asked for sits outside the package (a booking calendar, a second language), it appears as its own priced line, so you can drop it or keep it. Business hours are UAE working days, Monday to Friday.

What if you don't like the first design?

You tell us what to change and we revise it within the package's revision rounds: one round on the one-page site and the web app, two on the five-page site. Anything outside the written scope is quoted before we do it, so the price never moves without your agreement.

The market

How long does a small business website take to build?

About 5–7 working days for one page, 2–3 weeks for five pages, and 3–4 weeks for the web app once the scope is signed off. Content is the usual cause of delay, so on day one we send a checklist of what each page needs.

What do I need to provide before work starts?

  • your logo, or a note that you need one (logo design is quoted separately);
  • the words for each page, or a request for a copywriting quote;
  • photos of your work, premises or team;
  • access to your domain, or the name you want to register;
  • your choice of hosting (we can recommend and set it up);
  • access to your Google Business Profile, if you have one.

How do I pay, and in which currency?

A 50% deposit to start and 50% at launch, by bank transfer (an international SWIFT payment from a UK bank works). We quote in GBP on request; the AED price is the contract figure the £ amount is converted from.

The market

Will my small business website rank on Google in my town?

The packages do the groundwork: on-page SEO on every page, schema markup, an XML sitemap, Search Console and a link to your Google Business Profile. They are not an SEO campaign. Local rankings in the map pack depend mostly on your Business Profile, its category and your reviews. If you want a campaign, our SEO sprint starts at US$1,800 (≈ £1,359). Nobody can honestly promise a ranking, and we don't.

The market

What must a UK business website show by law?

These duties sit with you, the business owner; we build the pages that carry them:

  • Limited companies must show the registered company name, the company number, the part of the UK where the company is registered and the registered office address on their website (Companies House trading disclosure rules).
  • Every business selling online must give its name, a geographic address and an email address, plus its VAT number if it is VAT-registered and any trade or professional body it belongs to (Electronic Commerce Regulations 2002, regulation 6).
  • A privacy notice that tells visitors what personal data the site collects, why and for how long (UK GDPR, ICO guidance on the right to be informed).
  • Consent before non-essential cookies such as advertising trackers (PECR; the ICO publishes the current guidance).
  • Selling to consumers online: the pre-contract information and the 14-day cancellation right of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.

We are not lawyers; for anything unusual, check with a solicitor.

Can I update the website myself after launch?

Yes. The five-page package includes a content editor for text and images. During the 3 free months we also make up to 30 minutes of small edits a month for you.

What happens after the 3 months of free maintenance?

During those months we run a monthly health check (uptime, SSL, form delivery, backups), apply security and software updates, and fix defects in our own work. The period ends by itself: no auto-renewal and no card on file. Ongoing care afterwards is optional and quoted.

The market

What will a small business website cost to run each year in the UK?

After launch you pay your domain and hosting directly to the providers, in your name; we add no monthly fee. The starter packages include 3 months of free maintenance, and after that care is optional and quoted. Google's AI Overview (UK results, 12 November 2026) put freelancer-built sites at £150–600 a year to run, citing Red Eagle Tech.

Who owns the website, the domain and the code?

You do, once the final payment is made: code, design files and content. The domain and hosting are registered in your name from day one, so you can move to another developer at any time without asking us.

Packages

Is a one-off package better than a monthly website plan?

UK plans run from £29.99 to £99 a month (published prices, November 2026). Over three years that is £1,080 at £29.99 and £3,564 at £99. Our five-page site is ≈ £512 once, plus your own hosting. Plans usually bundle hosting and small edits, which is worth something, but the provider usually keeps the site when you stop paying. The tradesmen page sets the comparison out in a table.

Can I add online payments, booking or a shop later?

Yes, as quoted add-ons: a Shopify store from US$1,400 (≈ £1,057), a custom e-commerce store from US$2,500 (≈ £1,888), a booking system from US$1,800 (≈ £1,359). We integrate the payment provider you choose and name it in the proposal.

The market

What does an affordable small business website not include?

Copywriting is the most common surprise: the packages assume you supply the words. Also outside the price are the domain, hosting, paid plugins, a logo, photography, an online shop, payments, bookings and a second language. Each can be quoted, so the proposal shows the total before you commit.

Should I build it myself on Wix or Squarespace instead?

A website builder suits you if you enjoy doing it and accept a monthly fee for as long as the site exists. Ours suits you if you would rather spend the time on your business and own code you can move. Either way, judge by the written scope, not the headline price.

The market

Can I see small business websites you have built?

Our portfolio shows builds we created and operate ourselves, labelled as such. We have no UK client logos to show yet and we don't borrow anyone else's.

How do I check a remote web designer before paying a deposit?

  1. Ask for a written scope with the page count.
  2. Confirm who owns the code and the domain.
  3. Pay in stages, never 100% upfront.
  4. Know the name of the person building your site.
  5. Read which country's law governs the contract.

Can my website be bilingual?

A second language is an add-on. We build English and Arabic sites routinely; for Welsh, Polish or any other language you supply the translated copy and we build the second version with its own URLs.

Who builds my website, and where are you based?

WebStackRank is founded and run by Muhammad Waleed, who builds in Laravel and Next.js (about us). We are a studio in Dubai, UAE. We are not based in the UK: we have no UK office, no Companies House number and no UK reviews yet. What we offer instead are mechanisms: a written scope, staged payments, code ownership and an itemised proposal within 24 business hours.

Frequently asked questions

UK packages run from about £299 to £2,500 or more plus VAT (Google AI Overview, November 2026). Our fixed prices are ≈ £204 for one page, ≈ £512 for five pages and ≈ £1,026 for a basic web app.

What is included in the five-page Small Business Website?

Up to 5 pages styled to your brand from our section library, a content editor, a contact form, WhatsApp and Maps, on-page SEO on every page, GA4 and Search Console, 2 revision rounds and 3 months of free maintenance.

What is not included?

Domain, hosting, paid plugins, copywriting, logo, photography, an online shop, payments, booking and a second language. Each can be quoted.

Why are your prices lower than UK agencies?

Fixed scope, a tested section library, a small remote studio with no UK office, and you supply the content, the domain and the hosting.

Are you a UK company?

No. WebStackRank is a studio in Dubai, UAE, with no UK office or Companies House registration. We work remotely and can quote in GBP.

How long does it take?

About 5–7 working days for one page, 2–3 weeks for five pages and 3–4 weeks for the web app, counted from when we receive your content or sign-off.

Do I own the website?

Yes. After the final payment the code, design files and content are yours; the domain and hosting are registered in your name.

How do I pay?

50% deposit to start and 50% at launch, by bank transfer.

What happens after launch?

Three months of free maintenance (health checks, security updates, fixes and 30 minutes of edits a month), then optional care quoted separately. It never renews automatically.

What about VAT?

Whether VAT applies to a website bought from a studio outside the UK depends on your own registration, so ask your accountant before you pay the deposit. We don't give tax advice.

How many revisions do I get?

One round on the One-Page Website and the Basic Business Web App, two rounds on the five-page Small Business Website. Extra changes outside the written scope are quoted before any work starts.

Is there a monthly fee?

No. You pay once for the build: ≈ £512 for five pages. Your domain and hosting are billed to you by the providers, and care after the 3 months of free maintenance is optional.

How much of my money is at risk if it goes wrong?

At most the 50% deposit, which starts the work after you accept a written scope. The second 50% is due at launch. The domain and hosting are in your name from the start, so nothing is held back from you.
