Most local web designers charge a one-off build, then bill hosting, email and every change separately. DIY builders look cheap until you do the building. Here is the honest picture.
| Typical local web designer | DIY builders (Wix, Squarespace) | Lightwork | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Build | £400-£600 one-off, typically | You build it yourself | £145-£495 one-off, built for you |
| Monthly cost | £40-£45 for a managed plan | £10-£25, rising at renewal | From £19.99, you choose the care level |
| Domain name | Sometimes included | Free first year, then renews | At cost, in your name |
| Custom email addresses | Sometimes included | Paid add-on, around £5-£6/month | £3/month each |
| Updates and changes | Charged per change or per hour | You make them yourself | Included in your care plan |
| Contract | Varies, some 12-24 months | Cheapest prices need a year or more upfront | Monthly rolling, 30 days' notice |
| If you leave | Varies, worth asking first | Your site stays locked to the platform | You own it. We hand it over, no exit fee |
