Web Design In Glasgow, fixed price from £1,500

Fixed-price websites from £1,500, designed and built by a Glasgow web design studio on Washington Street.

Fast, mobile-first, search-optimised, and tied directly to the print collateral we make for you downstairs. One team, one invoice, one point of accountability.

Two of our recent builds, The Thai in Shawlands and Guppi Bola, replaced old WordPress sites. We work with clinics, trades, hospitality, events and professional services firms across Glasgow, from the Merchant City and the West End to Shawlands, in person at our Finnieston studio near the SEC or over a call.

Recent builds

Real sites for real businesses, two of them in Glasgow and two of them replacing WordPress. Each links to the full case study.

01

The Thai

Bar and restaurant, Shawlands, Glasgow

A WordPress site whose menu was a PDF, rebuilt on Next.js: 42 dishes as searchable HTML with allergen filters, 28 blog posts moved across behind 25 redirects, and bookings taken on the site with a staff diary behind them.

03

Replacing an old WordPress site

Most of the Glasgow businesses who come to us already have a site. It is slow, hard to edit, or propped up by plugins nobody wants to touch. Here is how a replacement works.

01

What we do

We review the site you have, note every URL that ranks and every page worth keeping, then rebuild on a modern stack. Your content moves across and permanent redirects are mapped, so your search rankings are kept rather than reset.

02

What you keep

Your domain, your content, your blog posts and your URLs. The brand you already have comes with you: for The Thai we took the navy and gold off the printed menu rather than inventing a new look.

03

Fixed quote

A written, fixed quote after the site review, from £1,500. Content migration, redirects and handover training sit inside that price rather than arriving as extras later.

See the full website redesign service, or read how it went for The Thai and Guppi Bola. Not sure whether yours needs a redesign or a rebuild? Send us the URL and we will tell you.
04

What you get

Every project ships with the essentials. No upsells for the things that should be standard.

  • 01Responsive design that works on phones, tablets and desktops
  • 02Fast hosting on Vercel or Cloudflare, sub-second page loads

  • 04Free SSL certificate and automatic renewal

  • 07Full ownership of your code, content and domain
05

How we build it

A four-stage process designed for non-technical clients. You see progress weekly and never get a 50-page Word document of jargon.

01

Discovery

A 2-hour workshop in our Washington Street studio (or over Google Meet). We map your customers, goals and the pages you actually need. Free for projects over £3,000.

02

Design

Wireframes first so we agree the structure, then two rounds of visual design in Figma. You see every page before a single line of code is written.

03

Build

We build on a live staging URL from day one, so you can watch the site come together and flag changes early. Weekly progress calls keep everyone aligned.

04

Launch & Care

We submit the new site to Google Search Console, set up analytics goals, and stay on call for 30 days of post-launch shakedown. After that, optional care plans take over.

06

Who we build websites for in Glasgow

Most of the sites we build are for owner-run businesses that need enquiries, not awards. These are the sectors that come through the studio most.

01

Clinics and health practices

Dental, physio, aesthetics and private clinics. Treatment pages that answer the questions patients actually ask, online booking, and contact forms that treat patient details with care.

02

Trades and construction

Electricians, joiners, roofers and landscapers. A site that shows finished jobs, names the areas you cover across Glasgow and Lanarkshire, and turns a search on a phone into a quote request.

03

Hospitality

Restaurants, bars and cafés. Menus as real web pages Google can read, table bookings on your own site, and printed menus to match, as we did for The Thai in Shawlands.

04

Events and venues

Organisers, venues and exhibitors working the SEC, the Hydro and the Armadillo. Event pages, registration links and enquiry forms, with the stand graphics printed by the same studio.

05

Professional services

Accountants, solicitors, consultants and agencies from the Merchant City to the West End. Clear service pages, team profiles that build trust, and a client portal when you need one.

06

Shops and studios

Florists, retailers and fitness studios. Online ordering, delivery by postcode, class timetables and memberships, as in our builds for Flora & Fable and Aligné Studio.

Not on the list? Tell us what your customers need to do on the site, and we will tell you what it costs.

07

Why Glasgow GFX for web design

Most Glasgow web design agencies stop at the screen. We do not. The same studio that builds your website is the one printing your business cards, brochures and pull-up banners downstairs, so brand consistency between your digital and physical touchpoints is automatic, not an afterthought.

That integrated approach is why clients like The Thai, Aligné Studio and Flora & Fable hire us to handle the whole picture: website, brand identity, printed collateral, and the ongoing changes that come with running a real business.

One team, one project manager, one invoice. When the launch deadline is tight, you do not want three suppliers blaming each other. And if the brief grows past a website into bookings, customer accounts or a portal, that is web app development, built by the same team in the same studio.

The studio is at Unit 204b, 36-38 Washington Street in Finnieston, G3 8AZ, a few minutes from the SEC, the Hydro and the Armadillo. That makes us an easy meeting for businesses in the city centre, the Merchant City and the West End, and a short trip from Shawlands and the rest of the Southside. Lanarkshire businesses can meet us at our Hamilton base by appointment. Wherever you are, you get a progress update every week, a live test link from day one, and a fixed written quote before anything starts.

What a website costs elsewhere in Glasgow varies a lot, from a freelancer on a template to an agency on day rates. Our guide to website costs in Glasgow sets out the range honestly. Ours are fixed: £1,500 for a website, £3,499 for a business site with a CMS, £8,000 for a single-purpose web app and £10,000 for a multi-user one, with the first year of hosting free and the code in your name.

Frequently asked questions

The questions Glasgow business owners ask before signing off a website project.

How much does a website cost in Glasgow?

A website from Glasgow GFX starts at £1,500 for up to 7 pages of custom design. A business site with an editable CMS starts at £3,499 for up to 20 pages. Single-purpose web apps start at £8,000 and multi-user web apps with accounts, roles and payments at £10,000. The first year of hosting is free. Every price is fixed in writing after a free discovery call at our studio at Unit 204b, 36-38 Washington Street, Glasgow G3 8AZ, or on 0141 345 5841, with no day rates and no scope creep.

How long does a website take to build?

A website is typically ready in 3 weeks, a business site with a CMS in 6 weeks, and a web app is scoped during discovery. You get a progress update every week and a live test link from the start. The biggest delay on most projects is waiting for client content, so we send a content checklist on day one.

Can you redesign our site without losing Google rankings?

Yes, and replacing old WordPress and template sites is a large part of what we do. We record every URL that ranks before we start, move your content and blog posts across, and redirect each old URL one-to-one to its new page, so your rankings are kept rather than reset. The Thai in Shawlands moved 28 blog posts across behind 25 redirect rules, and Guppi Bola cut over on the same domain with no downtime. Redesigns start at £1,500 for a five-page rebuild.

Who owns the code and the domain?

You do. The code, the content and the domain are in your name once the project is paid for. Nothing is rented back to you, there is no lock-in, and if you ever want another developer to take over you hand them the code. If your current domain was registered by someone else, we help you move it into your own account.

Is hosting included?

Yes, the first year of hosting is free on every website. After that there is a hosting fee, set out in your written quote before you sign, or the Care Plan at £190 a month, which covers hosting, backups, security patches, uptime monitoring and 4 hours of changes. We host on Vercel or Cloudflare for speed, or Azure on UK servers when data rules call for it.

Will my site work on phones?

Yes. Every site we build is mobile-first. We design the small-screen layout before the desktop one, because most Glasgow searches now happen on a phone. We test on real iPhone, Android and tablet devices before launch.

Do you do SEO?

Basic on-page SEO is included with every build: clean URLs, meta titles and descriptions, Open Graph tags, JSON-LD schema, an XML sitemap and Google Search Console submission. Deeper ongoing SEO (link-building, content writing, technical audits) is a separate monthly retainer starting at £450 per month.

Can I update the site myself?

Yes. From the Business tier upwards we set you up with a friendly CMS (Sanity or Payload) so your team can edit copy, swap images and publish blog posts without touching code. We include a 30-minute training call before launch.

What if I just need a small change later?

You have two options. Ad-hoc changes are billed at £45 per hour with a 30-minute minimum. Or pick up our Care Plan at £190 per month, which includes 4 hours of changes, hosting, backups, security patches and uptime monitoring, with hours rolling over for two months.

Do you build booking systems and web apps as well?

Yes, in the same studio. Online booking, customer accounts, quote tools and staff portals are web apps: single-purpose web apps start at £8,000 and multi-user web apps with accounts, roles and payments start at £10,000. You see a working version in days, not months, and the app can be ported to iOS and Android later. For a simple booking page for a one-person business, our hosted booking website is £40 a month.

Where are you based, and can we meet in person?

Our studio is Unit 204b, 36-38 Washington Street, Glasgow G3 8AZ, in Finnieston, minutes from the SEC. Phone 0141 345 5841. We meet clients at the studio, at their premises anywhere from the Merchant City and the West End to Shawlands, or over a video call, and Lanarkshire clients can meet us at our Hamilton base by appointment. An appointment is recommended, as we are sometimes out on deliveries.
