If you are looking into a new website for your business, one of the first things you will probably want to know is how much it costs. Fair question. The trouble is, many agencies either avoid answering it completely, or throw out fixed package prices that don’t reflect the real work involved.
At Eldo, we prefer to be straightforward. Every website is quoted based on what you actually need, but to help give some guidance, here is what businesses in Hampshire can typically expect in 2026.
Showcase Websites
For startups, sole traders and smaller businesses, a showcase website is often the ideal starting point.
This type of website is designed to look professional, explain what you do clearly, and encourage people to get in touch.
Typical costs are around £1,000 to £2,500+VAT depending on size, content and functionality.
Perfect for businesses that need a strong online presence without overcomplicating things.
Standard Company Websites
For growing businesses needing more pages, better SEO foundations, case studies, blogs or stronger lead generation, a more advanced company website is often the better fit.
These projects typically fall between £2,500 and £5,000+VAT.
This is where many Hampshire businesses sit, especially companies wanting a site that can properly support growth over the next few years.
Large Bespoke Websites
Larger websites with custom functionality, integrations, advanced layouts or complex structures naturally require more planning and development time.
These projects usually start from £5,000+VAT and can increase depending on scope.
If your website plays a major role in sales, operations or customer experience, investing properly often pays for itself many times over.
What Affects Website Cost?
No two projects are identical. Pricing can depend on things such as:
- Number of pages
- Design complexity
- Content creation needs
- SEO requirements
- Booking forms or custom features
- Existing website migration
- Speed of turnaround
- Ongoing flexibility for future growth
That is why proper quotes are tailored, not guessed.
Cheap Websites vs Good Websites
A cheap website can look attractive at first, but often ends up costing more later through rebuilds, poor SEO, slow performance or limited editing options.
A properly built website should:
- Represent your business professionally
- Work well on mobile
- Load quickly
- Be easy to manage
- Generate enquiries
- Last for years
Worth a Conversation Whatever Your Budget
Every business is different, and so is every budget. If you have a figure in mind, it is always worth having a chat. In many cases, we can suggest a sensible route forward, whether that means starting smaller, phasing the project over time, or focusing on the areas that will make the biggest difference first. A good website does not always need to happen all at once.
