For example, a CMS template (which may power hundreds of blog or service pages) is designed as part of the overall system, not priced as individual pages. Each project includes essential pages such as legal documents, thank you pages and 404 pages where required. A small business website in the UK typically costs between £1,500 and £10,000, depending on the number of pages, design complexity, and features such as CMS, booking systems, or e-commerce. At Dove Design Ltd, most business websites fall between £2,500 and £5,500, depending on the scope of the project. Please see our Pricing page for more information

The platforms we use typically outperform WordPress on speed, security and hosting, and you can edit pages visually without plugins or developer help.
