What a café’s website costs in the UK

Your menu, your opening hours, a few good photos of the room: £30 a month with rowbo puts them on your own .com. Hosting and updates are in that, and the page comes off your Google listing. The alternatives are a DIY builder or a one off build, paid again on every change. The table prices them, dated.

What you get for £30 a month

A real multi-page website, built from the Google listing you already have.
Your own .com, registered and pointed at it, in the price.
Hosting and updates, so there is nothing else to renew and nothing to install.
Your photos, your hours, your services and your reviews, already on the page.
A site Google can index and ChatGPT can read.
Live in a couple of minutes, and free to look at before you keep it.
No setup fee, no minimum term, and you can cancel any month.

A DIY website builderUp to £16 a month with Wix Core, billed annually, and monthly billing adds 16% to 28%.You build it, you write it, and you make every change after. Carrd is £1.25 a month for a one-page card, not a website.

A one off buildAbout $45 for a small Fiverr job, and typically $500 to $5,000 for a full build.You write the brief and wait. The domain, the hosting and every change after it are yours to arrange and pay for.

Some prices are listed in US dollars in our research, at the £1 to $1.27 rate. The DIY and agency prices are UK list prices, billed annually. Ours is £30 a month, billed monthly.

What the £30 covers after the build

With rowbo the £30 covers hosting, the domain, updates and the changes you ask for. Nothing renews separately, and nothing arrives as a bill you were not expecting. Everywhere else those are extra. Hosting and the domain renew each year, and website maintenance runs £25 to £100 a month. Monthly billing costs 16% to 28% more than annual at Wix, and Squarespace lists its UK prices without VAT.

What changes the number

A single page is a smaller job than a site with a menu and a gallery of the room. Table booking, a page you can update yourself, and photos of the food all add to a one off build. On a monthly plan the page count is rarely what you pay for. What you pay for is who does the work, and whether the domain and the hosting are in the price. With us they are, and the menu comes off your Google listing.
