Q: How much does having a website designed cost?

A: Not as much as you think!

You need to control your business costs, we know that, and so we're transparent about how we benchmark our pricing. Below is an idea of what you can expect when you ask H18 to work with your business to produce your website or online shop.
For more information, please feel free to contact us!

Trinity::Egg Package

Entry-level design, development and basic CMS

For boutique businesses that are just setting sail and need a simple web presence, this might be the ideal design and development product. It comes with a nice 'n' simple CMS that allows the owner to keep content and keywords up to date without any technical overhead.
And because it's built with Trinity, it's very easy to extend in the future when your business's online presence needs specific features.

Trinity::Hen Package

What most people need

In addition to the standard CMS offered with the Egg package, the Hen package gives you a subscriber management module, a blog and a dynamic contact form with which your prospects can get in touch.
This is the stepping stone to our more dedicated packages and is suitable for for businesses or organizations who are initially more commited to using the internet as a key marketing tool, rather than simply "having a website as part of `the armoury`".

Trinity::Rooster Package

Before you go bespoke...

Now you're talking. In addition to everything on offer so far, take advantage of up to 5 extra dynamic, fully content-managed modules that allow you to run a gallery, portfolio, slideshow, video showcase, music player, RSS feed, weather report or anything else you can imagine - we have lots of modules that simply slot into your Trinity instance...
Truly, ask us what we can build you, and we'll answer "Anything!"

Bespoke Rooster Package

Mix it up, mash it up

Going bespoke is a big step! We'll create a beautiful set of features for your application that might even contribute to the evolution of Trinity herself, let alone the success of your enterprise! We'll furnish you with all of the bespoke functionality you need to make your users sit up and notice your business.
Again, because it's Trinity-based, you can rest assured that it's scalable, user-friendly and cost effective :-)

Packages

Affordable ways to get a bespoke-designed website online quickly

It's important to your business that you make the right decisions, and one of those decisions will naturally be what your website design budget is.

We understand this and are therefore quite transparent about our pricing structures. Most bespoke website design projects are developed using our in-house development engince "Trinity" that helps us put web applications together fast, meaning more of your budget can be allocated to the designn elements of your website.

We only ever deploy websites and online shops that run on open-source technologies such as PHP, MySQL and Linux.

Client Testimonials

Words from happy customers

Before deciding on a company to redevelop my existing basic Green Jelly webshop I contacted quite a few web developers and designers in the local area and further afield. When talking to H18 it became immediately obvious that they clearly understood what I wished to achieve where other companies had missed the point. As I was looking for new branding, H18s ability to provide design for both online and offline materials was a distinct advantage.

H18s initial suggestions for the look and feel of site were excellent and helped in deciding on the boutique style of the shop. I have been really impressed at how Jim has taken the graphic design from a few basic concept ideas into a fantastic logo (which has received lots of positive comments) and brand identity which is reflected across the webshop and in printed materials. Matt on the technical side looked at Green Jellys specific requirements and developed the CubeCart application to meet the additional needs of the site, increasing the features available and making it more flexible.

The result of H18's work is a professional e-commerce website which has far exceeded my expectations. The standard of work at H18 is excellent and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a new website or graphic design company.

Sharon Heinrich / Green Jelly / February 2010

I work in the creative industry producing videos for all different clients. My main concern for a website was making sure it represented what my company is about. It needed to give of an energy and a wave of creativeness! On the internet, people do judge you on your 'front cover' and I needed a company to produce a website that would do this for me.

H18 were just the company, I stumbled across them by accident but after calling them I knew they were for me. They understand exactly what their customers need, they listen and suggest relevant ideas and work with you to produce what you want. But then they surprise you by completing your project to a much higher standard than anticipated!

I would highly recommend H18 to anyone seeking a new website and am positive they could create something for everyone from simple to complex, they are efficient, quick, responsive and great to get on with.

Tom Voller / Wild Lion Media / October 2009

H18 is the talented team behind the Hopscotch Kids e-commerce website. They ensured that the online shop reflected the look and feel of my children's boutique by researching the market, visiting my shop and asking about my style. I have been very impressed with the excellent service, quality and professionalism. I met with several other designers and H18's design ideas and development skills are definitely ahead of the competition.

Both Matt and Jim are extremely creative and were fantastically knowledgeable about what was achievable. They were also friendly, approachable and had lots of patience! The team worked extremely hard to ensure the finished site was exactly what I wanted. They are passionate about good design, amazing service and outstanding quality.

I have already recommended H18 to other businesses and am confident that others will be equally impressed!
