Starting prices and terms published on providers' websites, checked 26 October 2026: nine Glasgow web design businesses plus national website builders and monthly-plan providers (one builder's UK prices are from an independent price guide, as its own page did not show them). Ranges are starting prices for a small site, not quotes — your brief may cost more or less anywhere, including here. Brightray hosting is via the optional care plan.
Websites and an AI voice assistant for small businesses.
A website that brings in enquiries, set up for Google and AI search, plus an AI voice assistant (AI receptionist and smart voicemail) that answers the calls you miss.
Website + AI voice assistant
Your website brings in the calls and the AI voice assistant answers them, 24/7. We set up both for you.
Ring 0141 461 4870 to talk to our AI receptionist. It’ll take your details and we’ll call you back.
Asked and answered.
How much does a website cost in Glasgow?+
It depends who builds it. Published starting prices for a small site from Glasgow web designers ran from about £299 (plus a monthly fee) to £1,250 when we checked in October 2026, and several larger agencies do not publish prices at all. Brightray is a fixed £500 for up to 5 pages or £950 for up to 10, quoted before any work starts.
Is a pay-monthly website cheaper than paying once?+
Up front, yes — many plans start at £0. Over time, not always: at £49 a month a plan costs £1,176 over two years, and some plans have a 24-month minimum term or take the site down if you stop paying. A one-off £500 site you own, plus our optional £25/month care plan, comes to £1,100 over the same two years (£800 in the first), and you can cancel the care plan at any time.
How quickly can you build my Glasgow website?+
Around 7 days from the point we have your text and photos. Most of the elapsed time on any web project is waiting for content, so we keep the build itself short and send you a preview to check on your own phone before it goes live.
Should I just build it myself with a DIY website builder?+
If you enjoy design and have the time, a DIY builder can be a sensible start at roughly £8–£29 a month. If you would rather spend that time running your business, a fixed-price site built for you and set up for local search is usually the better use of money.
Do you work with Glasgow charities and community groups?+
Yes — charities, community groups and churches get 20% off, taking a standard site to £400, and the cost can be spread over a monthly Direct Debit rather than paid up front.
Do you cover the rest of the west of Scotland?+
Yes. We are based in Bearsden and work right across Glasgow and the west of Scotland, including Milngavie, Clydebank, Paisley, East Kilbride, Hamilton and Cumbernauld. The whole process runs by call, WhatsApp and email, so location is never a barrier.
Let’s build yours.
