Pricing
Every price, in plain sight.
We work without meetings, so you deserve every number before you start — the build, the ongoing costs, the optional extras, and the third-party fees other companies bury. This page is all of them.
Business Websites
£300 to start — £250 build (paid once) + £50 first year of hosting. Delivered in 14 days.
- Ongoing cost
- £50/year hosting from year 2 — secure hosting, SSL, daily backups, security updates, and your contact form. Reminder 28 days before renewal; cancel any time from your dashboard.
- Optional: domain & mailbox, managed by us
- £40/year — we register your domain, set up a professional mailbox (e.g. support@yourbusiness.com), and manage renewals. Renewal then totals £90/year (£50 hosting + £40 domain). Prefer your own domain? Bring it at no charge.
- What's included in the £250
- Custom design for your brand, all standard pages, blog, contact form, SEO setup, mobile responsive, admin panel from day one, and template privacy, terms and cookie pages with a GDPR-focused cookie banner.
Web Apps — pick a foundation
One-time build prices. You see your exact fixed price live as you choose, and pay to start — no quote round-trip unless your project is genuinely unusual (over £8,000, 10,000+ users, or something we should scope personally).
Basic app
from £1,500Booking, appointments, a directory or listings, or a straightforward online tool.
Internal dashboard or CRM
from £2,000A private tool for your team to manage data and workflows. User roles & permissions included.
Membership or community portal
from £2,200Members log in for content, profiles, or a community space. User roles & permissions included.
Online store
from £2,500Sell products with a cart, checkout, and order management. Online payments included.
Marketplace (multi-vendor)

Included in every app — £0
The essentials a modern app simply has. We never charge for these.
Add-ons — only genuine extras
Add what your app needs; skip what it doesn't. If a foundation already includes one (an online store includes payments, for example), it disappears from the list — you can't be charged for it.
Online payments
Take card payments securely via Stripe.
£250
Subscriptions / recurring billing
Charge members or customers on a repeating plan.
£250
Multiple user roles & permissions
e.g. admins, staff, and customers with different access.
£250
In-app chat between your users
Your customers or members message each other in the app.
£250
Advanced analytics
Standard reporting is already included — this adds deeper insight, trends, and exports.
£250
Multi-language
Your app in more than one language.
£250
Third-party integration
Connect an external tool or API you already use.
£250
Live tracking / maps
Real-time location and maps in your app.
£250
Branded email & newsletters
Send from your own domain — we set up deliverability (SPF, DKIM) with you after checkout.
£250
Sensitive-data handling
Extra security and compliance care for health, financial, ID, or children's data.
£250
Android app (Google Play)
Your app packaged and submitted to Google Play. Google charges you a one-off ~£20 developer fee directly — we set your account up with you. Note: your app already installs to the home screen from the browser at no cost.
£250
iPhone app (Apple App Store)
Packaged and submitted to the App Store. Apple charges you ~£79/year for a developer account directly — we set it up with you. Apple can be strict with very simple apps; we'll advise honestly if yours won't pass review.
£250
AI features
An assistant, smart search, or automated suggestions in your app. Usage runs on your own AI account, paid to the provider directly (typically a few pounds a month at small-business volumes) — we set it up with you, with spending caps so there are no surprises.
£500
App hosting after delivery — your choice
Full handover — £0 ongoing
We hand over the source code and documentation; you host it on your own provider and never pay us again. Your app is yours.
Managed by Amber Multi — from £49/month
We host, monitor, and maintain it. Billed monthly, or yearly at exactly 12× the monthly price — we don't discount annual billing, and we don't inflate monthly billing. Nothing to pay until your app goes live; your exact plan is confirmed at delivery and you start it from your dashboard.
Third-party costs, named up front
Some services charge their own fees. They're always paid on your own accounts, which we set up with you — never marked up, never hidden inside our prices.
Apple Developer account
~£79/year, paid to Apple
Only if you add the iPhone App Store version
Google Play developer account
~£20 one-off, paid to Google
Only if you add the Android app
AI usage
Typically a few pounds a month at small-business volumes, paid to the AI provider
Only if you add AI features — with spending caps we set up for you
Your domain name
Typically £10–£15/year, paid to your registrar
Only if you register and manage it yourself — or let us handle it for £40/year including a mailbox
What we never charge
- A commission or percentage of your sales or bookings — ever. Payments run through your own Stripe account.
- Meeting or consultation fees — there are no meetings to charge for.
- Surprise extras — your price is fixed at checkout and cannot change mid-build.
- A markup on third-party fees — app-store accounts and AI usage are paid on your own accounts, at cost.
- A fee to leave — cancel website hosting any time; web apps can be fully handed over.
