Buyer guides
Straight answers,
real numbers.
The questions UK business owners actually ask before they commission a CRM, an AI system or bespoke software — answered directly, with indicative price ranges, realistic timescales, who each option suits and, just as importantly, who it does not.
Websites & Ecommerce
What a UK business website costs, how long it takes and when bespoke is worth choosing over an established platform.
CRM & Business Systems
What a CRM really costs, how bespoke compares to the big platforms, and the right approach at your size.
Private & Secure AI
Using AI on confidential material without losing control of it — costs, architecture and compliance.
Bespoke Software
Custom builds, connected systems and moving off spreadsheets, with realistic budgets and timescales.
About these guides
Why do these guides show prices when the rest of the site does not?
Because buyers researching a bespoke CRM, private AI system or custom software need a realistic budget before they can start a conversation. The ranges are indicative and based on projects we have delivered — we quote a fixed price after a scoping session.
Are the price ranges accurate for my business?
They are honest bands, not quotes. Scope drives the number: user roles, integrations, data migration and whether customers need their own login. Every guide lists the specific factors that move the price.
Do you ever recommend not building anything?
Regularly. Each guide includes a 'who this does not suit' section for exactly that reason. If a configured off-the-shelf tool is the better answer for your size and process, we will say so.
Can we speak to someone about our specific situation?
Yes. Send us a short description of your process and the tools you pay for today, and we will tell you which of these routes fits and roughly what it costs.
