These essentials are part of every Illume build. You do not need to pay extra just to make the website secure, mobile-friendly or ready for search engines.
A professional website designed around your business rather than a generic do-it-yourself page.
Enough for a typical Home, About, Services, Work and Contact website.
The site is designed to work properly on phones, tablets, laptops and larger screens.
Visitors can send an enquiry directly from your website.
We connect the website to your existing social profiles so visitors can easily find and follow them.
We structure page titles, headings, URLs, images and metadata so search engines can understand the website properly.
We create the sitemap and configure the site so Google can discover and crawl it. This does not guarantee a particular ranking.
Basic visitor tracking is connected so you can understand how people use the website.
The site uses HTTPS, giving visitors an encrypted and secure connection.
We optimise the website so it loads quickly and works smoothly.
We configure the appropriate cookie-consent and privacy functionality for the services installed. You approve your business's legal wording.
We build with sensible contrast, structure, labels and keyboard-friendly behaviour in mind.
You can review the agreed website design and request two structured rounds of changes before launch.
We take care of the technical steps needed to get the completed website live.
You should know what you are paying for without needing to understand web-development jargon.
This means connecting your existing Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube or other profiles to the website. It does not include running your social accounts or creating posts.
Every site is built in a search-friendly way. We organise page titles, headings, URLs, image descriptions and other essentials so search engines can understand the content. Ongoing SEO campaigns are separate.
SSL is what gives your site the secure https:// connection. It protects information travelling between your visitors and the website and avoids browser security warnings.
We configure the technical consent/privacy tools needed for the services on the site. Because every business is different, you remain responsible for reviewing and approving your legal/privacy wording.
We create an XML sitemap, make sure search engines are not accidentally blocked and submit/configure the site for Google discovery. Google decides what it indexes and where pages rank.
Choose extra functionality only when it adds value to your business. Fixed-price add-ons show the exact amount; “From” prices are reviewed because the amount of work can vary.
Add exactly the number you need, from 1 to 20 extra pages on top of the 5 pages included with the base website.
We research the local searches that matter to your business and optimise the site around them, including your Google Business Profile.
Setup or optimisation of your Google Business Profile if you do not need the full Local SEO Setup.
Already included with Local SEO Setup.Let customers choose an available time and send booking details through your website.
Add a secure online payment flow so customers can pay through the website.
A combined booking and payment setup at a lower price than buying both separately.
A dedicated area for publishing news, updates, guides or articles.
A structured section for showing completed work, projects or customer case studies.
A more detailed enquiry form that collects the information you need before preparing a quote.
Connect a newsletter or email sign-up service so visitors can join your mailing list.
Show customer reviews or make it easier for visitors to reach your chosen review profile.
For more involved scroll effects, motion, interactive sections or other design work beyond the standard animations included.
Connect the website to an external platform or service where extra development work is required.
Add an online shop, product catalogue, basket and checkout. Final cost depends on the number of products and required features.
Add one extra structured revision round to the two already included with the website build.
Need something not listed here? Tell us in your project brief. Bespoke functionality is quoted separately rather than forcing it into a generic add-on price.
The build price is the same either way. Managed care is optional.
Illume keeps the website hosted and looked after for you.
You take control of the completed website after the build.
These examples show how the modular pricing works. Your project builder calculates your own selection before you submit it.

£1,247estimated buildYes. £499 covers the standard professional website shown on this page, including up to 5 pages. You only add extra cost when you choose individual extra pages or optional functionality.
No. The base website is designed to be a complete professional website on its own. Add-ons are only for businesses that need extra pages, local SEO, bookings, payments, e-commerce or other additional features.
For fixed-price items it gives you a clear estimate. Items marked ‘From’ can vary with complexity. Illume reviews the request and confirms the final build price before you are asked to pay anything.
Only when the finished website goes live. It covers managed hosting, SSL, technical maintenance, monitoring, support and up to 5 minor content changes per billing period.
Yes. Handover is included in the build price. Once the project has been paid for and completed, you can take the Next.js project source and manage hosting and maintenance yourself with no Illume monthly fee.
No. Domain registration and renewal are separate because the domain should normally remain registered in your own name/account. Illume can help you choose and connect it.
