Care Home Website Design Prices
Fixed prices for care home and home care websites. A custom-designed website for a care provider starts from £2,400, a site you update yourself from £3,900, and hosting from £20 a month. This page explains what they include for a care provider, what changes a quote and how they compare.
What a Care Home or Home Care Website Costs With DigitalPod
Our prices are published and the same for every sector. What varies is what the site must contain, and care needs more than most: a page for each type of care, fees and funding guidance, an inspection page that meets the display rules, accessibility for older visitors and a careers section. A single home or home care branch fits that into the starting price, while groups and heavy recruiters usually need the dashboard.
The starting price buys a custom-designed site of up to around ten pages, hand-coded for speed and built with accessibility in mind, with your rating displayed correctly and the search engine foundations for "care homes in [town]". The admin dashboard adds a secure area where your team posts vacancies, news, menus and activities and updates availability without waiting for a designer. Logo design is quoted alongside, and every figure is fixed before work begins.

Three Typical Care Homes Website Projects
New home care agency
A launch site for a domiciliary or live-in care agency awaiting registration: home, services, how care is arranged, team, careers with an application form and contact, with the registered wording switched on the day CQC confirms.
Established care home replacing a brochure site
A rebuild for a single home with a dated site: pages for residential, dementia and respite care, fees and funding, the CQC rating displayed as the rules require, real photography, a careers page and redirects from the old pages.
Care group with several homes
A provider with three or four homes that wants a page and rating for each, a careers portal with vacancies by location, news and activities from every home and an admin dashboard so managers update their own pages.
What the Starting Price Includes for Care Homes
- A design created from scratch around your home or service and the families you care for, approved before any code is written.
- Up to around ten pages, typically home, types of care, life in the home, fees and funding, team, inspection reports, careers and contact.
- Your CQC rating, date and link built in as Regulation 20A requires, or your Care Inspectorate, CIW or RQIA report linked if you are elsewhere in the UK.
- Visit and call-back forms, a careers application form and a tappable phone number, all tested so enquiries and applications reach the right person.
- Accessible, fast, mobile-first pages with the search engine foundations for "care homes in [town]" and "home care [town]", matched to your Google Business Profile.
- Launch onto managed cloud hosting from £20 a month, or the complete code handed to you to host elsewhere.
What Changes the Price of a Care Provider Website
- The number of homes or branches: each location needs its own pages, rating, team and vacancies, so a group of five is a bigger build than a single home.
- A careers portal with vacancy management, application tracking or links to your recruitment system, which usually means the admin dashboard package.
- Virtual tours, video and professional photography of each home, which we can arrange or build around what you already have.
- An admin dashboard so managers post news, menus, activities and availability themselves, from £3,900.
- Integrations with care management software, a CRM, review platforms or a family communication app, quoted on scope.
- Logo and brand design, quoted alongside the website, and copywriting if your team is too busy caring to write the pages.
Every website is quoted individually, so the final figure depends on what your care provider actually needs. Our website design brief template helps you list those needs so that we can give you an accurate fixed price.
How Our Prices Compare for Care Homes
Care providers are offered websites in one of three ways: bundled into a marketing package or directory listing, built by a care marketing agency on a monthly retainer, or a template platform. Bundled sites follow a shared pattern and stop when the subscription does, taking the rankings with them. Retainers suit a group, but a single home pays every month for a site that rarely changes, and a template leaves the accessibility and display rules to you.
Agencies commonly quote £6,000 to £20,000 or more for a small business website, which few single homes can justify, while experienced freelancers and small studios typically charge £2,000 to £6,000. Our care home websites start from £2,400 for a fixed price, designed and hand-coded in-house with the accessibility and rating display built in, and the finished site is yours. Our guide to how much a website costs in the UK covers every option in detail.

How a Project Runs
- Your requirements. On a call, you tell us about your business, your customers and what the website needs to do, and we give you a fixed quotation.
- Logic and visuals. We plan the site structure and create visual mockups for your approval before anything is built.
- Development. We build the website, keep you updated and give you a realistic completion date.
- Testing and launch. You review the finished site on a test server, we refine it, and then we launch it or hand over the files.
Most websites take three to six weeks from brief to launch, provided the content is ready. Our guide to the website design process explains each stage, and the timescales guide shows what a typical schedule looks like.

Care Homes Website Price Questions
Is £2,400 enough for a care home with several types of care?
For a single home, yes. A page each for residential, nursing, dementia and respite care, plus the home, fees, team, careers and contact, fits within the ten or so pages the starting price covers. The quote rises for a group of homes, a careers portal or integrations with your care software, and we fix the figure before starting.
What does a website for a group of care homes cost?
It is quoted individually, because a group needs a page, rating and team for each home, vacancies by location and usually a dashboard so each manager updates their own pages. Most group projects start from the website with admin dashboard package, from £3,900, and rise with the number of homes. Tell us how many homes you have and we will give you one fixed price.
Does the careers section cost extra?
A careers page with role descriptions and an application form is part of the starting price, because every care provider needs one. What costs more is a portal: vacancies you post and close yourself, applications stored and sorted, or a link into your recruitment system, quoted on scope and usually within the admin dashboard package from £3,900.
Are there ongoing fees?
Only hosting, if you choose it, from £20 a month for a managed cloud server, security updates and quick changes such as a new rating, a vacancy or a change in availability. There is no licence fee and no monthly package, and because you own the site and its code you can move it elsewhere at any time.
How much does a virtual tour add to the price?
It depends on what you have. If you already have a video or 360-degree tour from a photographer, embedding it on the right pages is included. If you need one produced, we quote it alongside the website, and we build the pages around it so families far away can walk through the home before they visit.
Our main prices page and FAQ cover payment terms, hosting and ownership in more detail. For what the website itself should include, see care homes website design, or startup care homes website design if you are launching a new business.
