Frequently asked questions
Common questions about affordable UK web design, answered straight.
Cheap as Chips is meant to feel straightforward. That only works if the boring practical stuff is clear too.
- Pricing, scope, timings, revisions, hosting, and add-ons
- Written in plain English for normal business owners
- No guaranteed rankings. Package limits and ongoing costs are clear.
Are the prices fixed?
They are public ranges with tight caps. The quote depends on the actual scope: Launch is £99–£149, Standard is £150–£399, and Growth is £400–£699. The point is to keep the pricing honest and the service productised. If you want the rough fit first, the small business websites and refreshes pages spell the routes out more plainly.
When does the turnaround clock start?
Once the deposit is paid and the core content is in. If the project is waiting on missing photos or approvals, the timeline waits too.
What counts as extra work?
Extra pages, heavy copywriting, bigger rewrites, new features, ecommerce, booking systems, and anything outside the agreed scope are quoted separately before they are added. In other words, if the job starts sounding more bespoke than budget, it probably is.
How many revision rounds do I get?
Launch includes 1 revision round. Standard and Growth include 2 rounds. Monthly care is for small ongoing edits, not redesigns.
Do you sort hosting and domains?
Help is available, and simple hosting starts from £4.99 a month. We keep hosting and domain costs separate so the build quote stays honest. Domain email setup is also an add-on unless we agreed otherwise.
What if I stop replying halfway through?
If there's no reply for 14 days, the project might be paused. If it drags past 30 days, it might need rebooking or a fresh quote so the schedule stays fair for everyone else.
Can you guarantee rankings or leads?
No provider can guarantee rankings or leads. The agreed work covers clear pages, sound search foundations and a site people can use properly.
Can you set up my Google Business Profile?
Only when the business is genuinely eligible, such as a shop customers can visit or a service business that meets customers in person. Online-only businesses are not eligible, so the service only sets up a profile where the business qualifies. Eligible setup is an add-on from £60 and is quoted before work starts.
Still unsure?

Choose “Not sure” if the job sits between a new website and a refresh. The examples page is there if you want to assess the work first.
