How much does it cost to build a website? Or "how long is a piece of string?". With so many variables in content and functionality, no formula can be applied based simply on the size of the website. On the other hand, the size of the budget available is obviously going to affect the expectations and outcome. Therefore, we thought it would be useful to have some articles for clients and other interested parties about typical website costs. For starters, here are some ball-park comparison figures for building and running websites in the UK: Thameside Media on the price scale As Thameside Media is based outside of Central London, and the team is based around the two company directors and a select group of freelancers, we have relatively low overheads.
