How much should a website actually cost in Chandler's Ford?
If you've been calling around Hampshire agencies, you've probably heard quotes ranging from £500 to £5,000 for the exact same thing. Here is the honest truth about what you are paying for.
| Provider Type | Typical Cost | Pros & Cons |
|---|---|---|
1. DIY Builders Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy | £20 - £50 /month Forever |
|

Why is there such a big difference?
It usually comes down to overheads. A web design agency in Winchester or Southampton has office rent to pay, project managers to feed, and sales commissions to cover. When you pay £3,000 for a brochure site, about £500 goes to the developers, and £2,500 goes to the "machine."
At Fixels, we operate locally in Chandler's Ford. We don't have a sales team. We don't have a fancy office in Ocean Village. We focus purely on writing clean, high-performance code. That's how we can offer the same quality for 70% less.
What about "Cheap" £200 websites?
Be careful. If you see a price like £199, it is usually a "template flip." They buy a generic theme for £30, change the logo, and hand it to you.
The problem? Google hates them. They are slow, the code is bloated, and they rarely rank on Maps.
Our sites are hand-coded using Next.js (the same tech Facebook and Netflix use). It ensures your site loads instantly, which is the #1 factor for ranking locally in 2025.
