Pricing

Real numbers, before you call us.

Most agencies make you book a call to find out whether you can afford them. We would rather you knew first. Below is indicative pricing for every service we offer, how our three engagement structures work, and what you get for the money. Every figure is confirmed as a written fixed price or defined retainer at a free discovery call.

How we charge

Three ways to work with us.

The structure follows the nature of the work, not our billing targets. Read the full detail on our engagement model.

📦

Front-loaded project

Fixed price

A defined scope with a fixed price agreed before we start. The bulk of the work happens fast, with structured testing, handover and a support period afterwards. Best for websites, Zoho implementations, custom applications and AI builds.

  • Fixed scope, fixed price — no surprises
  • Accelerated delivery timeline
  • Structured testing and handover
  • Post-launch support period included
⏱️

Ad hoc support

£50/hour

For occasional work on top of an existing setup, or specific one-off tasks outside a current scope, we work against a pre-purchased block of time at £50 per hour. Used as you need it, visible in your portal, topped up when it runs low.

  • Pre-purchased time block
  • No minimum ongoing commitment
  • Every hour visible in WorkFlowCommand
  • Access to the same team and skills

Platform choice

Zoho is our recommendation. It is not your only option.

Zoho is where we hold partner accreditation, and for most businesses it delivers the widest capability for the licence cost. That is why we lead with it — not because it is the only thing we know.

Already invested in another platform?

We implement, develop and support the other major platforms, and we would rather work inside the system you already own than tell you to rip it out. If you want an independent view on which platform genuinely fits before you commit, that is a conversation we have regularly — and we will tell you when the answer is not Zoho.

Nothing off the shelf fits how you operate?

Then we build it. Bespoke applications, client and supplier portals, operational platforms, and integrations between systems that were never designed to talk to each other. Source code and technical documentation are handed over at the end, so the system is genuinely yours and you are not tied to us to maintain it.

  • Custom applications
  • Client & supplier portals
  • Systems integration
  • Operational platforms

Total transparency

See exactly where every pound and hour goes.

Whatever you pay and however you pay it, every client gets WorkFlowCommand — our client portal. Live project tasks, time tracking, account balance, campaign performance and complete project history, visible whenever you log in. No waiting for a monthly update, no chasing for a progress report.

Pricing FAQs

The questions everyone asks.

Do you publish real prices?

Yes. Every service area on this site carries indicative pricing, and every proposal is a written fixed price or a defined monthly retainer agreed before work starts. We do not quote before we have scoped, and we do not send open-ended hourly estimates.

Is there really no upfront cost on the Launch Plan?

Correct. The Launch Plan is £99 per month with nothing to pay up front. It covers your bespoke website, your domain, Zoho Workplace business email on your own domain, hosting, security and support. There is a 12-month initial term, after which it runs monthly.

What does a retainer include that a fixed project does not?

A retainer covers your headline service continuously, plus draw-down access to every other discipline we offer — websites, SEO, paid advertising, Zoho and the other CRM platforms, systems development, automation and AI. Instead of commissioning a new project every time a need arises, you draw on the architects, developers and specialists already working on your account.

Do you only work with Zoho?

No. Zoho is our flagship recommendation and where we hold partner accreditation, because for most businesses it delivers the widest capability for the licence cost. It is not a condition of working with us. We implement, develop and support Salesforce, HubSpot, monday.com, Pipedrive, Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Zendesk, and we will work inside the platform you already own rather than tell you to replace it. If you want an independent comparison before committing, that is what our CRM consultancy is for.

Can you build something completely custom?

Yes. Where no off-the-shelf platform fits the way you operate, we design and build from the ground up — bespoke applications, client and supplier portals, operational platforms, and integrations between systems that were never designed to talk to each other. Custom application builds start at £9,500 as a fixed price, and the source code and technical documentation are handed over to you at the end, so you are not tied to us to maintain it.

Are the prices on this site exclusive of VAT?

Yes. All prices shown are exclusive of VAT. Software licences, advertising budget and domain registration fees are paid directly to the relevant provider and are separate from our fees unless a plan states they are included.

Can I change or cancel a retainer?

Retainers run on a rolling 30-day notice after any initial term. You can scale up, scale down or stop. We would rather keep clients because the work is delivering than because a contract makes leaving difficult.

How do I know what I am paying for?

Every client gets WorkFlowCommand, our client portal. Live project tasks, time tracking, account balance, performance data and full project history are visible whenever you log in — not summarised in a monthly email.

All prices exclude VAT and are indicative as at November 2026. Software licences, advertising budget and third-party fees are separate unless explicitly included in a plan.

Not sure which fits?

Tell us what you are trying to achieve and we will tell you honestly what it costs — and whether we are the right people to do it.
