Services & pricing

Start with what your website actually needs.

You do not need to jump straight into a large bespoke build. Choose a sensible starting point, then add complexity only where it earns its place.

Projects from£495

Four clear starting points, from a focused refresh to a fully bespoke build.

Holiday rentalsDirect enquiriesSmall hospitality businesses

Choose your starting point

Four levels. No forced upsell.

All prices are starting points. We agree the scope and price before work begins, so a simple project stays simple and a complex one is quoted properly.

Website Refresh

Make the site you already have work harder.

from £495

Best for an existing site with a sound foundation that simply looks dated, feels clumsy on mobile or makes direct enquiry harder than it should be.

Design and usability review
Targeted visual refresh
Mobile layout improvements
Clearer enquiry or booking journey
Image and page-speed tidy-up
Basic on-page SEO checks

Not a full rebuild. We will tell you if your existing site is too limited to justify refreshing.

After launch

Care & updates from £39/month.

You can look after the finished site yourself, or keep us involved for the routine jobs that otherwise sit on the list for months.

Ask about website care

Routine content changes
Small text, image and practical-information updates.

Backups & checks
Regular backups and basic checks that the site is behaving as expected.

Hosting & SSL support
Help with the technical basics where hosting is part of the arrangement.

Someone to ask
A direct route for website questions instead of figuring everything out alone.

Useful additions

Add what earns its place.

Some projects need more. These are quoted separately so they do not inflate the price for everyone else.

Additional languages

Structure and build for translated versions of your website.

Extra properties or units

For owners with more than one gîte, cottage, room type or rental.

Copy & content support

Help shaping existing copy, page structure and guest-facing information.

Brand tidy-up

Logo, typography and colour refinement when the website needs a more coherent identity.

Advanced booking workflows

More involved enquiry, availability or payment integrations where technically suitable.

Search & analytics work

Additional search optimisation, tracking or content work beyond the core build.

Third-party costs: domain renewals, paid booking software, premium plugins/services, professional photography and other external subscriptions are not included unless specifically stated in your quote.

Launch portfolio rates

A limited number of early client projects can qualify for introductory pricing.

If your project is a strong fit for the Stay Direct Studio portfolio, ask what launch pricing is currently available. We would rather reduce the fee deliberately for the right early project than pretend the permanent price is lower than it really is.
