Pricing and how engagements work
Every piece of work gets a fixed scope and a quote before it starts. You pay for the work the business needs, not a retainer it does not use. Where a price depends on your situation, this page explains what drives it.
What drives the cost of each service
Ranges are a guide for planning. Your quote is confirmed in writing after the consultation, before any work begins.
| Service | What affects the price | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| Website design and build | Number of pages, who writes the content, and features such as bookings, payments or integrations. | Fixed quote after scoping |
| Domains | Domain type, such as .co.uk or .com, registered through Cloudflare or Namecheap in your business name. | £6 to £22 a year, paid to the registrar |
| Hosting | Traffic, platform and how much is managed for you. Fully managed hosting includes backups and uptime monitoring. | £10 to £40 a month, or £29 to £99 a month fully managed |
| Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace setup | Number of users, how much email and file history is migrated, and security hardening. | Fixed quote. Licences are billed by Microsoft or Google |
| Cyber Essentials preparation | Number of devices and cloud services, and how many gaps the analysis finds. | Quoted after the gap analysis, plus the IASME fee from £320 plus VAT |
| Vulnerability scanning and penetration testing | Number of websites, applications and internet-facing systems, and whether scans are one-off or quarterly. | Quoted per scope |
| AI adoption and training | Number of teams and roles, the tools involved, and whether you need a policy, a rollout or both. | Quoted per audit, workshop or rollout |
| Custom tools and automation | Number of users, systems connected and how much of the process is covered. | £2,000 to £25,000, usually delivered in 2 to 8 weeks |

From first conversation to handover
- 01
A free consultation
Thirty minutes to understand your situation and find the practical starting point. No prepared brief required.
- 02
A scope and a fixed quote
You receive a written scope, price and timeline. Nothing starts until you have agreed it.
- 03
Advice, then delivery
Where something you already own can be improved rather than replaced, we say so. Then we do the work and keep you updated in plain English.
- 04
Handover you can use
Documentation, training for the people using it, and only the ongoing support the business actually needs.
You do not have to commit to everything at once
Most businesses start with one pressing problem: a website that is not bringing in enquiries, a client asking for Cyber Essentials, or staff using AI tools without agreed rules. Solving that first builds the foundation for the next step.
Two free starting points cost nothing but a few minutes: the Cyber Essentials readiness check and a 30-minute consultation.
Pricing questions
Is the first consultation really free?
Yes. The 30-minute consultation is free and there is no obligation. You leave with a clearer view of the sensible first step, whether or not you work with us.
Do you offer fixed prices?
Yes. Once the work is scoped you receive a fixed price in writing. If the scope needs to change during the project, we agree the change and its cost with you first.
Do we have to sign up to a monthly retainer?
No. Ongoing hosting, maintenance or security support is available if it is useful, but it is never a condition of a project.
Who owns the domain, accounts and software licences?
Your business. Domains, hosting accounts and licences are registered to you and documented at handover, so you can change supplier without losing access.
