How to use this cost guide
Compare what is handed over, not only what the design looks like. A useful proposal identifies the work, who supplies the inputs and the charges that continue after the initial delivery.

Items to include in a UK redesign brief
Approval responsibilities
Name the person who signs off business facts, policy text and specialist claims.
Migration
Account for old URLs, retained content and redirects before the new site replaces the old one.
Editing and booking
Define routine updates and test the real booking or enquiry journey in staging.
An example of two different scopes
A UK service-site redesign may involve approved specialist wording, an existing booking system and URLs that already receive search visits. Rebuilding the appearance alone is a smaller scope than migrating that information, testing booking and training the editor.
This is an illustrative comparison, not a Tangensys price or client quote.
Prepare a brief that can be priced
- Agree design, content and functional sign-off separately.
- Request an itemised GBP proposal with licence and hosting terms.
- State who approves launch and what support follows handover.
Confirm the total commitment
Ask for the one-off work, recurring service and third-party charges as separate lines. The agreed GBP proposal and actual invoice terms should be clear before payment.
A lower initial fee may exclude writing, implementation or maintenance. Compare responsibility and sign-off checks before assuming two prices buy the same result.
Practical detail
A hypothetical total-cost calculation
These deliberately hypothetical amounts demonstrate how to compare a proposal. They are not Tangensys rates, market averages, exchange-rate conversions or a quote. Actual pricing follows the written scope.
| Cost layer | Illustrative arithmetic | What to verify |
|---|---|---|
| One-off work | GBP 1,200 | A defined site build, editing handover and launch scope |
| Three recurring periods | 3 × GBP 50 | Separately agreed maintenance or updates |
| External charges | 3 × GBP 25 | Only the included illustrative assumptions; actual provider/media charges require review. |
| Modelled total | GBP 1,425 | Before taxes and any excluded media, licences or additional work. |
Compare the same period and responsibilities. Replace each assumption with the actual approved proposal; a lower headline setup price can omit work that another proposal includes.
Read the price through the scope
What changes the estimate
For a UK website, the main questions include content, page types, editing needs and supported integrations. Explain the current setup and desired result before comparing fees. Missing inputs may require a separate review or discovery task.
What the headline can omit
Distinguish visual design and a complete launch with content and testing. These commitments should not share an unexplained price label. Compare the same outputs and period, including any work your own team must complete.
What needs an owner
The proposal should identify content approval, privacy and cookie review, release and future maintenance. A quoted deliverable is easier to judge when you know who supplies inputs, approves the result and maintains it.
A practical proposal comparison
Take two actual proposals and mark each cost as initial, recurring or external. List the included deliverables beside the number. If one option excludes essential implementation, add that responsibility to the comparison instead of assuming the lower headline is the total.
Then inspect the real mobile contact journey and the client editing task. Keep taxes, licences, hosting, media and optional work visible where relevant. The hypothetical calculation elsewhere on this page teaches the method; it is not a published Tangensys rate.
For overseas work, the delivery base remains Noida, India. Currency, invoicing and communication arrangements are confirmed in the actual proposal. Do not infer a UK or US office from a country page.
Planning questions
More practical questions
What should we ask when two quotes look very different?
Ask each provider to identify the same deliverables, exclusions, inputs and recurring responsibilities. Separate advisory work from completed implementation. A useful comparison explains the difference instead of assuming the cheaper or more expensive figure is automatically better.
Does the build fee certify legal compliance?
No. We can implement agreed requirements, but your business or adviser approves legal text and compliance decisions. Any accessibility evaluation or specialist review must be explicitly scoped.
Do you publish fixed packages?
No. We quote against the actual requirements and explain what is included, excluded and dependent on your team.
What is included in the quoted price?
Compare content writing, images, revision rounds, forms, redirects, hosting, licences and handover. Identify what your team supplies. The written quote specifies the deliverables and commercial terms.
When will we get a quote?
Within 2 working days after reviewing the requirement. Further discovery may be needed before a complex implementation can be fully scoped.
Does the price include ongoing work?
Only when explicitly stated. Maintenance, monthly campaigns and additional content are separately defined.
How do we get a useful estimate?
Share the current website or system, the goal, priority features or channels and any preferred deadline. We identify the scope and inputs needed to quote.
