Website Design Payment Plans: Choose How You Pay

Why website cost and timing matter

When you launch and run a small business, there are certain inevitable expenses and ongoing costs. The expense and the ongoing cost of a website is often why small businesses choose to rely upon a Facebook page or a similar free alternative.

It doesn't have to be that way. Your business can benefit significantly from an effective website, one built to be found by customers. One built to help you convert visitors into leads. One that showcases what you do and how much you care.

Because a website is such a fundamental tool for a thriving small business, we don't think you should have to worry about the cost. We want to offer you a way to pay that suits your business's cash flow.

Two ways to pay for a website

Some businesses prefer paying upfront and in full, because they have periods of having cash in the bank. Some prefer to pay on an ongoing, monthly basis, because their finances are more distributed.

As a small business, we know what it is like. In fact, a web agency can fluctuate between the two states quite frequently. Therefore, we want to offer you a choice of how you pay so that the cost of a new website for your business fits your business.

1. Pay during the project

This route allows you to pay for the website during the lifetime of the project, and by the end, you have paid for the whole website.

You would pay 25% of the total project cost before the work begins as a deposit. Then, 50% when you approve the initial design of the website. Finally, the final 25% is due just before the website is launched.

If you intend to pay for website hosting and maintenance, you will pay £49 per month thereafter.

2. Spread the cost

With this route, you would pay a 25% deposit, with the remaining website cost paid evenly and monthly over 24 or 36 months.

If you choose to add website hosting and maintenance, the £49 per month is added to the website monthly cost as a single direct debit.

No interest or extra charges

The intention is not to profit or make additional money from people who choose to spread the cost. Therefore, there is no interest added to the cost or extra cost associated with paying monthly. There is also no extra or additional cost to pay during the project.

I have mentioned the cost of website hosting and maintenance. We only offer this to clients for whom we build a website, and this is optional. If you want to pay for the hosting and maintain the website yourself, that is your choice.

Any cost of hosting and maintenance will be clearly listed in the cost of the website and certainly would not come as an unexpected surprise.

What if your situation changes?

If you choose to pay monthly for your new website, you might find your situation changes in the future. If you sign up for 36 months of payments, during those 3 years your business will grow and probably flourish. You might find you no longer need to or want to spread the cost.

You are always able to just pay off the whole remaining balance or part of the balance if you would like to. There is always the option for dialogue and a discussion to find the best solution for you and your business.
