How much does a bespoke website cost?

Most Molo website projects fall between £6,000 and £58,000+, and our cost guide breaks that range into tiers with what each one includes. The variables that move the figure are page count and how much of it is genuinely unique, CMS complexity, ecommerce or configurator functionality, custom motion or 3D, third-party integrations, and whether the site is multilingual. We quote a fixed scope after a discovery conversation rather than pricing from a page count.

How long does a custom website take to build?

It depends on scope and how quickly content and feedback come back. For reference, the Petras Architecture site ran twelve weeks from kickoff to launch, the OuterWings ecommerce build eight weeks, and the Glass Openings 3D configurator eight months. The most common cause of overrun is not design or development but waiting on copy, photography and sign-off, so we agree a content plan and a named decision-maker at the start.

Is bespoke web design worth it versus Webflow or WordPress?

Those are platforms, not the opposite of bespoke. We design bespoke sites on Webflow regularly. The real comparison is bespoke versus a pre-built theme. A theme is the better use of money if you need to be live quickly, are still validating the proposition, or would rather spend the budget on advertising. Bespoke earns its cost when the site is a primary sales channel, when brand perception affects your pricing, or when the product needs configuring.

What makes a website bespoke rather than a template?

A template arrives with its page types, content model and user journey already decided, and the work becomes fitting your business into them. A bespoke site reverses that order: the structure, layout, components and code are designed around your customers and the decision they are making. In practice it means nothing sits on the page because it came with the theme, and you are not carrying features you will never use.

Do you redesign existing sites or only build new ones?

Both, and redesigns are a large share of our work. Petras Architecture was a redesign, the studio's previous site undersold the quality of its work, and project enquiries increased 3.4x afterwards. A redesign starts with an audit of what already works: which pages earn traffic and enquiries, which rankings must be protected, what to keep. We map redirects and preserve URL equity so search visibility survives the move.

Will I be able to edit the site myself?

Yes. We model the CMS around how your team actually works, so editors get structured fields and pre-built components rather than a blank rich-text box that can break the layout. You can add pages, publish posts, update copy and swap imagery without a developer. Training and documentation are handed over at launch, and where you would rather we handle changes, we can do that on a retainer.

Do you build multilingual websites?

Yes. We build multilingual and multi-region sites with translation workflow, hreflang, localised URL structure and per-market content handled in the architecture rather than added later with a plug-in. That matters for search: each language version needs its own indexable URLs and its own keyword research, because a direct translation of English copy rarely matches how people actually search in another market.

Will the site be fast, and does site speed affect SEO?

Yes to both. Core Web Vitals form part of how Google assesses page experience, and speed affects conversion regardless of ranking. We set a performance budget during design rather than optimising at the end: reserved image dimensions, self-hosted subset fonts, transform-based motion, and third-party scripts justified individually. Petras Architecture scores 92% on mobile performance, which came from decisions made throughout the build.

Is accessibility included in a bespoke web design project?

Yes, as standard rather than an add-on. We build to WCAG 2.2 AA: contrast checked when the palette is chosen, keyboard operability across every interactive element, designed focus states, semantic headings, properly labelled forms, and respect for reduced-motion preferences. It is a legal consideration under the Equality Act, and the same semantic structure that helps assistive technology also helps search engines and AI answer engines understand the page.

Do you work with businesses outside London?

Yes. We are a London-based studio and much of our work is with UK businesses, but we also design and build for clients across Europe and the US. Design and build work runs well remotely, video calls, shared prototypes, and a staging environment you can review at any point, with in-person workshops in London where a project benefits from them.
