£499 + £79/month
Why Most Cheap Websites
Cost You More In The End
Templates That Look Cheap
A £20/month site builder template is recognisable from across the room. Visitors equate template aesthetics with a hobby business and bounce before they read a single word. Cheap upfront, expensive in lost enquiries.
Zero SEO Foundations
Most budget builds skip schema, meta structure, semantic HTML and page-speed work. The site loads, but Google has no idea what it is about. You stay invisible to the searches that matter.
Hourly Billing On Every Edit
Cheap build, expensive aftercare. A £30 invoice every time you want a phone number changed adds up faster than a fixed monthly. Our £79/month covers minor edits in-house.
How we deliver

Grow (optional)
Switch to the £129/month Growth Plan when you want continuous SEO work, content updates and conversion improvements layered on top.
What affordable should
Actually mean
The UK web design market is split into two extremes. Freelancers and site-builder templates at £0-£500 that look cheap and rank for nothing, and traditional agencies at £3,000-£8,000+ that bill weekly meetings, hourly aftercare and a 12-week project plan into the price. Most small businesses cannot justify the agency bill and cannot survive the freelance result.
Launch Labs UK sits deliberately between the two. A fixed £499 buys a custom-designed, mobile-first, SEO-ready, lead-capturing website built in 7 to 10 working days. The £79/month management keeps it live, secure, backed up and edited. That price works because we have productised the build, not because we have cut quality. Every site ships with the same structural fundamentals as a £3,000 agency build, just without the agency overhead being passed on to you.
If you want continuous SEO work, content additions, competitor monitoring and conversion improvements layered on top, the £129/month Growth Plan covers it. Most small businesses start on the basic plan, see the leads come in, and upgrade when they are ready to grow.
This is the same offer that powers our small business website design page, just framed around price rather than audience. If you are an existing business with a dated site, the website redesign path uses the same £499 fixed pricing.
