Frequently Asked Questions
Everything local business owners ask us before getting started.
How much does a website cost for a local business?
There are two fixed-price packages: Essentials at £595 for a professional website of up to 5 pages, and Premium at £995 for a larger, more bespoke website of up to 8 pages with a blog, enhanced SEO setup, copywriting assistance and image sourcing. Both are one-off prices covering design, build, SEO setup, accessibility, testing and launch.
Is there an ongoing monthly cost?
Only if you want one — the care plans are optional. The £29 per month plan covers hosting, SSL, backups, security and performance monitoring, SEO maintenance, analytics, content updates and 30 minutes of development time. The £49 per month plan adds 2 hours of development time, new pages, SEO, performance and conversion improvements, a monthly website review, priority support and proactive recommendations.
How many pages do I get, and what if I need more?
Essentials includes up to 5 pages. Premium includes up to 8 pages, and additional pages can be added. If you are not sure how many you need, get in touch and we will map out the pages together before you commit to a package.
How long does it take to build a website?
Most projects have an average turnaround of under 14 days from kickoff to launch, depending on the package and how quickly content and feedback are provided.
Do you build websites with WordPress or a website builder?
No. Every site is 100% custom-coded rather than built on WordPress templates or drag-and-drop builders, which keeps pages lightweight and fast.
Do you offer local SEO for Google search?
Yes. Both packages include an SEO-friendly structure, page titles and descriptions, image optimisation, Google Maps, and Google Analytics and Search Console setup. Premium adds an enhanced SEO setup, and both care plans include ongoing SEO maintenance.
What areas do you serve?
Tom Early Web Design is based in Northampton and serves local businesses across Northamptonshire and the East Midlands, including Northampton, Kettering, Wellingborough, Corby, Daventry, Towcester, and Milton Keynes, with in-person meetings available.
