Quick answers
- How much does a small business website cost with EKKO?
- Every website is priced individually after a short scoping call. Our startup presence package is ideal for startups and small businesses that want a professional online presence: up to 4 pages, basic SEO, a contact form, mobile-first design, fast hosting and analytics. You get a fixed quote before we start, so there are no surprise costs.
- Can I get a good business website on a small budget?
- Yes. EKKO builds affordable, bespoke, mobile-first small business websites designed to convert enquiries. It is hand-built around your business, not a recycled template, and designed to look professional from day one. Contact us for a custom quote tailored to your budget.
- What is the difference between a template site and custom website development?
- A template site reuses a layout thousands of other businesses already have. Custom website development means the pages, structure and features are built around your business, so the site can grow with you and be extended with a CRM, bookings or automation later.

Why businesses choose EKKO for custom website development

- Mobile-first, because most of your customers arrive on a phone
- Written and structured for Google, not just for looks

Affordable websites for sole traders and small businesses
Sole traders, trades, clinics, salons and local service businesses make up a large share of our clients. You do not need an enterprise budget to look credible online. Our startup presence package is designed specifically for small businesses and startups that need a professional website without overcommitting.
Websites for startups that need to launch fast
Startups need to look established on day one. Our startup builds can be live in 3–5 days. Add landing pages, waitlists, dashboards, CRM and automation as the business finds traction.
Affordable does not mean cheap
A cheap website is often slow, poorly coded and invisible to Google. An affordable EKKO website is built properly from day one: fast pages, clean code, search-friendly structure and a design that earns trust. The price is low because we work lean, not because the work is cut-rate.
Grow into a full system when you are ready
Your website is usually step one. When enquiries pick up, we can connect a custom CRM, automated follow-up, a WhatsApp AI receptionist and EKKO Review Flow, all on the same foundation, so nothing needs rebuilding later.
