The verdict in three sentences
A premium B2B showcase redesign in London costs, in 2026, between 12,000 and 28,000 EUR across three major line items: design, integration and content. A London agency day rate sits between 550 and 750 EUR, and the average timeline is 8 to 12 weeks. A freelance collective cuts the bill by 25 to 35 %, at the cost of tighter project management on your side.
The line-by-line pricing grid
The first mistake a B2B buyer makes is thinking in one global price. A serious quote reads line by line: it is the only way to compare two agencies and to know where to cut if the budget is constrained.
| Line item | 2026 range (EUR) | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Discovery & strategy | 1,000 - 2,500 | Workshops, sitemap, benchmark |
| UX/UI design | 4,000 - 9,000 | Wireframes, mockups, design system |
| Next.js integration | 5,000 - 12,000 | Front-end, CMS, responsive, perf |
| Content & copywriting | 2,000 - 4,000 | Writing, on-page SEO, proofing |
| QA & go-live | 800 - 2,000 | Testing, fixes, deployment |
| Total | 12,800 - 29,500 | Full turnkey project |
The two items that truly move the number are integration (number of templates, animations, CMS wiring) and content (volume of pages to write). An 8-page site with client-provided content stays under 15,000 EUR; a 20-page site with full copywriting climbs toward 28,000 EUR.
Full-service agency vs freelance collective
The supplier choice affects price as much as scope does. Here is the 2026 order of magnitude for an identical project.
| Criterion | Full-service agency | Freelance collective |
|---|---|---|
| 15-page project budget | 22,000 EUR | 15,000 EUR |
| Average day rate | 550 - 750 EUR | 400 - 550 EUR |
| Timeline | 8 - 10 weeks | 9 - 12 weeks |
| Point of contact | Single project lead | Coordination on you |
| Post-launch support | 250 - 600 EUR/mo | 200 - 450 EUR/mo |
| Continuity risk | Low | Medium |
The agency charges for coordination, continuity guarantees and a single point of contact. The collective is 25 to 35 % cheaper but assumes someone on your side manages the freelancers. For an SME with no in-house tech lead, the agency often remains the best risk/price ratio.
Mini case study
Take Anthony, marketing director of a B2B software vendor in London (35 staff). His current site generates 40 leads/month at a 1.1 % conversion rate. He targets an 18,000 EUR redesign at a 600 EUR agency day rate, i.e. 30 days of work. By lifting conversion to 2.2 %, he doubles leads to 80/month. At an average value of 250 EUR per qualified lead, the extra monthly gain reaches 10,000 EUR. The investment pays back in under two months of additional leads. Even conservatively (1.7 % conversion), the return stays under four months.

FAQ
Why a 12,000 to 28,000 EUR range for a showcase site?
The gap comes from page volume, animation level and the share of copywriting. An 8-page site with provided content costs half as much as a 20-page fully written and animated site.
Is the London day rate justified versus the regions?
In London the agency day rate is 550-750 EUR versus 480-640 EUR in the regions. The difference is mainly team seniority; for a standard project a regional agency offers excellent value.
Should I budget for maintenance from the quote stage?
Yes. Plan for 250 to 600 EUR/month of support. Over three years, recurring costs (maintenance, hosting, SEO) can equal the initial redesign cost.
How long does a premium redesign take?
Between 8 and 12 weeks: 1-2 weeks of discovery, 2-3 of design, 3-4 of development, 1-2 of QA. A rush is possible but adds around 25 % to the quote.
Is Next.js relevant for a simple showcase site?
Yes for a premium site: performance, technical SEO and scalability toward features (blog, client portal) justify it over a classic CMS.
