Coulsdon web design is easy to search and harder to compare. The adverts use the same words: local, mobile, affordable. The difference shows up in the questions a designer can answer before a deposit. You are not buying a brand campaign. You are buying pages a customer in Coulsdon can use, at a price you can see.
Use this list with us as well. The offer itself is on the website design page. The homepage is the short version of web design in Coulsdon. This article is how to choose, not a second price list. Figures are also in the cost guide.
What you are buying
A designer for a small Coulsdon firm plans the page list, writes or edits the words with you, builds the pages, and puts them on a host you can log in to. They connect the form and the phone link. They do not need to be a full marketing department. If the offer is ads, social feeds and a website for one small monthly fee, ask which of those three will actually happen this month.
For a local firm, the designer should also understand the Google profile. The website and the listing have to name the same business. That is part of local SEO, not a separate career.
Questions worth asking
How many pages are in the price, and what happens if you add one? Who registers the domain? What do you pay in the second year, and to whom? Can you change the phone number yourself? Where do form messages go? Will old addresses redirect if a site already exists? Is there a monthly fee to keep the design, or only the hosting renewal?
Our answers are fixed. Starter is £150 for up to five pages. Business is £295 for up to fifteen. Growth is £495 for up to thirty. The first year of domain, hosting and SSL is included. From year two, renewal is about £60, paid to the providers. There is no monthly design lock-in. Most small sites are ready within two to four weeks of the text and pictures.
How to read an example
Open it on your phone. Can you find the service? Is the phone number a link? Are the photos of a real business or of a handshake? Does the page say where the business is? A homepage that never names a service is a weak example, however current it looks. A demo is allowed if it is labelled. It is not proof that a Coulsdon business used it to get calls.
Be wary of a guaranteed ranking, a price that excludes the mobile layout, and a site you cannot edit. Be wary of a designer who wants a page for every town before they know where you work. The red flags for thin location pages are in service-area pages versus one homepage.
The published prices
We publish the three bands so you can see the ceiling. We do not add SSL as an extra. If you already have a domain and hosting, you can keep them. If the page list does not fit five pages, we will say so. Purley businesses use the same bands. There is no Purley office. We are at 109A Brighton Road, Coulsdon, CR5 2NG. That does not stop the site from naming Purley when you work there. See web design for Purley.
How we answer
You own the site. Care afterwards is optional. Send the services and the towns and we will answer this list in writing before you decide. If you are still comparing the word “website design” with “web design”, the planning article is website design in Coulsdon. They are the same build. The page list is what changes the price.
