Pricing

Pricing

Every partnership is different, so we don’t do one-size-fits-all pricing. Your investment depends on the scope of work, the pace of delivery, and the outcomes you’re working towards.

Most of our growth partnerships start from £500/month, covering a dedicated account manager, quarterly strategy sessions, and a set number of hours for design, development, and optimisation work.

Book a discovery call and we’ll scope a plan that fits your business and budget — no obligation, no hard sell.

Process

How our partnership works

1

Discover & align

We start by understanding your business inside out — your goals, your challenges, your audience. We align on priorities and agree on what success looks like, so every piece of work has a clear purpose.

2

Plan & roadmap

Together we build a quarterly roadmap — a prioritised plan of improvements, experiments, and strategic initiatives. No random tasks — everything ties back to measurable business outcomes.

3

Execute & iterate

We get to work on the highest-impact items first. Design improvements, content updates, conversion experiments, technical enhancements — all delivered in focused sprints with regular check-ins.

Why us

Why partner with us

Dedicated account manager

You'll work with the same person every time — someone who knows your business, your brand, and your goals. No support tickets, no starting from scratch every conversation.

Quarterly strategy reviews

Every quarter we step back and look at the bigger picture. What's working, what's changed, where the opportunities are. Your digital strategy stays aligned with your business as it grows.

Data-driven recommendations

We don't guess what to work on next. Analytics, heatmaps, user feedback, and conversion data guide every recommendation — so your investment goes where it'll have the biggest impact.

FAQs

Common questions

Will my website be mobile-friendly?

Every website we build is mobile-first and fully responsive. With over 60% of web traffic coming from mobile devices, this isn’t optional — it’s fundamental to how we design. We design for smartphones first and scale up to desktop, ensuring the experience is excellent on every device.

What's the difference between this and a web design project?

A web design project has a defined start and end. Strategic Development is an ongoing partnership — we work with you month after month to continuously improve, optimise, and grow your digital presence. Think of it as having a dedicated digital team on call.

What makes Lightly Salted different from other web designers?

Every website is bespoke (no templates or page builders), we’re genuinely sustainable (1% for the Planet members, 50 trees planted and 1 tonne CO₂ offset per project, 100% renewable-energy hosting), and you work directly with the founders.

What kind of work is included each month?

It varies based on your roadmap and priorities. Typical work includes design updates, content creation, conversion optimisation, performance improvements, analytics review, and strategic planning. We agree on priorities together at the start of each quarter.

How do you measure success?

We define success metrics together during the discovery phase — these might include conversion rates, organic traffic, page speed, lead volume, or other KPIs specific to your business. Every quarterly review measures progress against these agreed goals.

Do you offer ongoing support after launch?

Yes. Our Digital Growth Support and hosting & maintenance plans provide ongoing help with updates, improvements and questions.

Do you design Shopify websites as well as WordPress?

Yes. While WordPress is our primary platform, we also design and build Shopify stores for businesses focused on e-commerce. We’ll recommend the right platform based on your specific needs.

Can you help with SEO as well as web design?

Every website includes on-page SEO foundations. We also offer dedicated SEO services for businesses investing in long-term organic growth.

Am I locked into a long-term contract?

No. Our partnerships run month to month. We earn your continued business through results, not contractual obligations. Most clients stay because the value speaks for itself — but you’re always free to pause or stop.
