How much does a website cost in the UK?
UK agencies typically charge £3,000 to £5,000 for a five-page brochure site and £5,000 to £15,000 for a premium bespoke build. Kirosconsult sites are £699 for Essentials, £999 for Trade and £2,499 for Practice, once-off and paid in two, with the domain, hosting and email for the first 12 months.
What happens after the first 12 months?
Your domain, hosting, mail and backups roll onto a care plan. It is the only recurring cost, it is published on the pricing page, and it does not jump in year two. If you would rather take the site elsewhere, we export everything and help you move it. No exit fee.
Are privacy and legal pages included?
Yes, as standard, on every build. We write them from our tested templates for the United Kingdom: a privacy notice (UK GDPR), a cookie notice, website terms, an accessibility statement and a branded error (404) page. They do not count towards your pages. Custom legal wording, or changes your own solicitor asks for, are billed at our hourly rate (£35). We recommend your solicitor reads them before launch.
Can I pay monthly instead of once-off?
On Essentials and Trade, yes: £69 or £99 a month for 12 months, and then the site is yours. Hosting is included for those 12 months, and afterwards you choose a care plan. Two payments are made up front (the first month, plus one held as a deposit that covers month 12), by card or Direct Debit through Stripe. Over the 12 months it comes to a little under a fifth more than paying once-off. It is for businesses (limited companies); sole traders, ask us. Practice, Storefront and Signature builds are once-off, paid in two.
What if I miss a payment?
We send reminders first. If a payment is still outstanding after 21 days the site is paused, and if it is still outstanding at 45 days the agreement ends. Your domain stays in your name and your text and photos stay yours. You can also leave early at any time: keep the site by paying the balance still to come, or leave without it by paying half of what is left, which falls every month.
Who owns the site?
You do, once it is paid for. The domain is always registered in your name, and the text, photos and code you pay for are yours. If you choose the monthly plan we keep ownership of the site itself until the 12th instalment is paid, and then it is yours. We keep a copy so we can support you, not so we can hold you to ransom.
Can you build to my regulator's rules?
For solicitors, mortgage brokers, clinics and treatment businesses, yes: the Practice band includes the compliance pack (SRA price pages, FCA wording, the CQC rating and ASA-safe copy). It is a build standard, not legal advice, so your own compliance lead still signs the wording off.
Is VAT added to the price?
Quotes are for businesses, and your quote shows the VAT position line by line.
Where are you based?
We are a small studio in Durban, South Africa. UK clients get the same fixed price, a written schedule, and calls at UK times by arrangement.
How long does it take?
Essentials goes live about five working days after your content lands, Trade about ten, Practice about three weeks. Signature builds take four to six weeks. You get a written schedule before anything starts.
