The verdict in three sentences
A premium brochure website redesign in London costs in 2026 between 6,000 and 18,000 EUR for 8 to 15 pages, the gap driven mostly by the level of bespoke work and content production. A simple reskin (visual refresh over the existing structure) costs around 30 % of a full redesign but does not fix technical debt. For a 10-to-50-person SMB owner, the real question is not the sticker price but the cost per generated lead over 24 months.
2026 price grid for London
The figures below are a 2026 order of magnitude on the London market, excluding paid acquisition. A mid-size London agency day rate sits between 450 and 650 EUR.
| Service | 2026 range (EUR) | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Graphic reskin (structure kept) | 2,500 - 5,000 | 2-3 wks |
| Custom 8-page redesign | 6,000 - 10,000 | 6-8 wks |
| Premium 12-15 page redesign | 11,000 - 18,000 | 8-10 wks |
| Motion / animation option | +1,500 - 4,000 | +1-2 wks |
| Copywriting + on-page SEO (per page) | 150 - 350 | included |
Recurring costs weigh as much as the initial project over three years.
| Recurring item | 2026 range | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| EU/UK hosting (OVH, Scaleway) | 20 - 45 EUR | per month |
| Domain .co.uk / .com | 10 - 18 EUR | per year |
| Maintenance retainer | 90 - 250 EUR | per month |
| Managed SSL certificate | included - 60 EUR | per year |
| Offsite backups | 8 - 25 EUR | per month |
Reskin or full rebuild: what you actually gain
A reskin is cheaper but leaves the technical foundation untouched: if your site runs on a 2019 overloaded WordPress theme, the LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) will stay above 4 seconds. A full rebuild on a clean base targets a 40 % lower LCP and a "good" Core Web Vitals score on mobile.
| Criterion | Reskin (~30 % of cost) | Full rebuild (100 %) |
|---|---|---|
| Indicative cost | 2,500 - 5,000 EUR | 6,000 - 18,000 EUR |
| Fixes technical debt | No | Yes |
| Expected LCP gain | -10 to -15 % | -40 % |
| Sitemap / SEO overhaul | Limited | Complete |
| Estimated lifespan | 18-24 months | 4-5 years |
Mini case study
Mark, owner of a 32-person industrial SMB in East London, is hesitating. His current site generates 8 leads/month at a 1.1 % conversion rate. He picks a premium redesign at 12,500 EUR, plus 150 EUR/month maintenance. After the redesign, conversion rises to 2.0 %, about 15 leads/month. At 120 EUR of value per qualified lead, the monthly gain is 7 leads x 120 = 840 EUR. First-year total: 12,500 + 1,800 = 14,300 EUR. Break-even lands around month 17, after which the site nets over 8,000 EUR/year.
