Web development in Purley: what the build actually includes
Quick answer: Web development in Purley, on this site, means building the pages, the form and the contact routes a local business needs, then handing over a site you can keep. Starter is £150 for one page. Business is £295 for up to five pages. Growth is £495 for eight to twelve pages, which is where a blog, a shop or bookings usually sit.
A search for web development Purley often comes from someone who has been offered a template, a monthly bundle, or a rebuild they cannot explain. The useful question is what the site must do next Tuesday: take a call, collect a quote request, show five services, or sell a small range of goods.
What web development means here
For most Purley firms the development is ordinary and that is a virtue. A fast page, a readable service list, a form that arrives in the right inbox, and a phone number that can be tapped. We choose WordPress when it fits, or a simpler build when a one-page site is enough. The platform follows the job.
Development is not a pile of unused plugins. Every addition has to survive the person who will update the site after launch. If you will not log in, we should not leave a dashboard that only we understand. You should have the hosting login.
The desk picture on this article is an example. The screen is blank on purpose. It is not a screenshot of a client's live site, and it should not be described as one.
Forms, calls and simple tools
A quote form should ask for the job, the place, and a way to reply. It should not ask for a life story. On a phone, the call button matters as much as the form, because a lot of Purley enquiries happen after someone gets off a train or finishes a school run.
WhatsApp can sit beside the form. It is not a replacement for a page that explains the service. A message thread with no public prices or service list still leaves the next customer guessing.
If the job is appointments, say whether the form requests a slot or writes into a diary. Pretending a slot is booked when it is only a message causes no-shows. Booking is described on booking websites.
What you own afterwards
You should leave with the domain in your name, the hosting login, and pages you can read without a developer beside you. We do not register the domain to the studio in order to make the first year look cheap. First-year domain, hosting and SSL are included. Year two is around £60 to those providers, or you pay your own hosts directly.
The content is yours. Photos of your real work should be yours too. An illustrated high street is an example on our articles. Your site should use your shop, your van or your work, not a picture labelled as your premises when it is not.
If you later want updates, backups and checks, that is website care. It is separate from the build. There is no monthly fee hiding inside the £150, £295 or £495 price.
Which package is development
Starter, £150, is development of a one-page site: responsive layout, a contact or quote form, basic on-page SEO, and the first year of domain, hosting and SSL. It is the right scope when you sell one main service.
Business, £295, develops up to five pages, with basic local SEO, social links and two revision rounds. That suits a firm with a few real services and a contact page. Growth, £495, is eight to twelve pages, a blog setup, more on-page work, conversion tracking and three revision rounds.
A large shop or a diary with deposits and several staff is quoted before the build. The quote names the tool and its own monthly cost, which is a different bill from ours. Read the packages on web design.
Going live
Before launch we check the form, the phone link, the address and the pages on a phone. A successful look on a large screen is not the test. Purley customers will open the site on the pavement.
Tell us the services and the towns you cover, such as Kenley, Sanderstead, Coulsdon or South Croydon, only where you actually work. We will cut a list that is longer than the work.
Start with a consultation. A one-page site is often ready in about a week after the words are agreed. Business and Growth usually take two to four weeks. The studio is in Coulsdon, and day-to-day work is remote unless a workshop is worth the travel.
