Annual licence or subscription
Most GP website providers charge an annual fee that covers the platform, hosting and a level of support. Published prices in general practice commonly sit in the low hundreds to over a thousand pounds a year depending on inclusions.
Setup, design or migration fees
Some providers charge a one-off build or migration fee on top of the annual price. Ask whether content transfer and redirects are included or billed separately.
Content updates
A site is cheap to buy and expensive to neglect. Check whether updates are self-service only, included as a managed service, or charged per change.
Accessibility work
WCAG 2.2 AA conformance and an accessibility statement should be part of the product, not a paid extra after a complaint.
Domain and ownership
Confirm the practice owns its domain and can take its content elsewhere. Exit costs are a real part of the total cost of ownership.
Contract length
Multi-year lock-ins reduce the headline price but remove your ability to leave if service drops.
Where another provider does not publish a price, we say so rather than guessing. See the provider comparison framework for a neutral checklist you can send to any supplier.
