A clear scope before a confident quote.
Website pricing and delivery dates are agreed after a conversation. These decisions shape the proposal; they are not a universal package or a promise that every item is included.
| Decision | What to agree | What affects the scope |
|---|---|---|
| Pages and content | Priority services, buyer questions and content responsibilities | Number of distinct journeys, writing, imagery and approvals |
| Design and mobile use | Brand direction, layouts and meaningful interactions | Design requirements and the devices to check |
| Enquiries and bookings | The next action, fields, recipient and confirmation | Existing tools, access and integration work |
| Search and migration | Useful URLs, metadata, redirects and crawlable information | Existing site structure and pages that need to move |
| Editing and handover | Who updates content and how they are trained | Editing roles, documentation and ongoing support |
| Commercial terms | Milestones, acceptance, ownership and ongoing charges | Hosting, domains, licences, third-party services and maintenance |
LOOK AT WHAT WE BUILD
Explore the work. Ask about the decisions.
StartSimple’s public work includes websites and the connected VCMP product family. Use the live work to assess the presentation and journeys you can see, then ask how the relevant experience applies to your project.
Portfolio examples demonstrate published work. They do not establish a promised revenue uplift, ranking or delivery time for a new project.

Before a redesign switches over

- Agree editing access, handover and follow-up monitoring.
FROM AN IDEA TO A USEFUL CONVERSATION
Build a brief in a few choices.
You do not need a technical specification. Start with your business, the action a customer should take and the kind of project you want to explore.

Before you commission a website.
What does StartSimple’s website service cover?
StartSimple delivers bespoke website design and development, including brand-led design, responsive customer journeys, scoped business-tool connections, technical SEO foundations and an agreed handover. The proposal defines the deliverables.
Does AI website build mean a self-service website generator?
No. This is StartSimple’s bespoke design and development service. Your business goals, content, customer journey and required connections shape a project-specific brief and proposal.
How much does a bespoke website cost?
StartSimple quotes after discussing the scope. Page and content requirements, design, integrations, migration, editing needs and ongoing support affect the proposal. There is no universal fixed website price on this page.
How long will our website take?
The schedule depends on the agreed scope, content readiness, approvals and integrations. Milestones and responsibilities are agreed in the proposal; there is no universal launch-time promise.
Can you redesign our existing website?
Yes. StartSimple can review what to improve, connect or rebuild. A redesign should account for existing URLs, forms, booking links and domain access, with a migration and launch plan.
Can the site connect to bookings, CRM or AI tools?
Connections are scoped against the capabilities and access of the tools involved. Agree data ownership, permissions, charges and failure handling. An AI agent or wider automation is a separate capability to include explicitly in the brief.
What happens after launch?
Handover, documentation, editing access, hosting and support arrangements are agreed as part of the project. Confirm responsibilities and ongoing costs in the proposal.
Can you guarantee Google rankings or ChatGPT recommendations?
No. StartSimple can improve accessible content, technical search foundations and factual clarity, then measure results. Search rankings, AI citations and commercial outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
