How much does an author website cost in the UK?

Reviewed 7 October 2026 · UK-focused guidance

Direct answer

An author website quote should reflect what the site needs to do: present the author and books, capture email subscribers, support media enquiries, send readers to retailers and provide a search-friendly home for long-term content.

Core pages

Most author sites benefit from a strong home page, book pages, author biography, contact or media page and a clear path to buy or learn more.

SEO and discoverability

Clean titles, descriptions, structured data, image alt text, crawlable book information and useful author content are more valuable than decorative effects alone.

Ongoing ownership

Confirm who owns the domain, hosting account, website files and analytics access after launch.
