If you’re a small business owner relying solely on Facebook or word of mouth to promote your services, you’re not alone. Many local businesses start this way. But here’s the truth: having a proper website is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity.
The good news? It’s more affordable than you think.
So, How Much Does It Really Cost?
The cost of building a website can vary wildly depending on features, design, and who’s building it. Some agencies quote thousands of pounds—but that’s not the only option. At www.amazingwebsites.co.uk, the SME branch of Real World Projects Limited, you can get a professionally designed website from under £250. Yes, you read that right—less than the price of a week’s worth of boosted Facebook posts.
Our mission is simple: to give small, local businesses an affordable and reliable way to get online and stay competitive.
Why a Website Beats Just Having Facebook
While Facebook is a useful tool, it’s not a replacement for a website. Here’s why:
- Credibility: Customers expect you to have a website. It adds legitimacy and professionalism to your brand.
- Control: Unlike Facebook, you’re not at the mercy of algorithm changes or platform rules. Your website is 100% yours.
- Search Engine Visibility: People Google services near them. Without a website, you’re invisible to many potential customers.
- Branding: Your website is a blank canvas for your brand—design, layout, content, and customer experience are all tailored to you.
- Better Conversion: Websites allow for structured calls to action—“Book Now”, “Get a Quote”, “Contact Us”—helping you convert visitors into paying customers.
- Analytics: Understand your audience with visitor data, page views, and behaviour insights—none of which Facebook provides effectively.

The digital world moves fast, and customers are increasingly choosing businesses they can find and trust online. A proper website is an investment that pays for itself many times over—through visibility, professionalism, and increased conversions.
