What it costs
What a window cleaning website should cost
A window cleaning site is cheap measured against the right thing. Not a single clean, but a customer who stays on your round for years. Here is what the price covers and why that changes the maths.
From £297, live in 7 days, on your own domain.
Window cleaning website cost
The short answer on cost
A window cleaning website cost starts from £297 for a spec-built site on your own domain, live within seven days, with the first three months of care included. That is well below the two-or-three-thousand-pound agency quotes and above the near-free page builders, both of which mislead you. But the price is not really the interesting number for window cleaning. The interesting question is what you compare it against, because this trade earns differently from every other, and that changes the whole calculation.
Most trades sell jobs. Window cleaning sells a round. A single clean is low value, but a customer added to your round is worth that clean every few weeks, for years. So when you weigh a website cost, do not weigh it against one job. Weigh it against the lifetime value of the customers it brings onto your round. On that measure, a few hundred pounds is trivial, and the site keeps paying long after it has covered itself.
What the build price covers
When I quote from £297 to build a window cleaning site, the money buys a structure aimed squarely at the round, not at one-off work.
It buys a site that sells the regular slot. Most window cleaning sites accidentally sell single cleans, because that is the easy thing to put on a page. A site built properly leads with the recurring clean, makes it the obvious and normal choice, and explains the cycle plainly so signing up feels natural. That framing is worth real money, because a round customer is worth many multiples of a one-off.
It buys area targeting. Your profit in this trade lives in round density: ten houses on one street beat ten scattered across town, because you spend the time cleaning, not driving. The build is structured to target the specific streets and estates where you want to grow, so the site helps you build tightly rather than thinly.
It buys speed and clarity, the same fast static foundation every good site needs, so people can find you, understand the offer and sign up without friction.
Why the low ticket price is a trap in the maths
The instinct with window cleaning is “the jobs are cheap, so I cannot justify spending on a website”. That reasoning quietly costs people their best growth, because it compares the site to the wrong number.
A one-off clean might be a modest sum. But the website’s job is not to sell one-off cleans, it is to add customers to a round who each pay that sum repeatedly, indefinitely. A customer who stays with you for five years at a clean every four weeks is worth a great deal, and they started with a single sign-up the site made easy. Judge the website against a one-off clean and it looks expensive. Judge it against the lifetime value of the round customers it wins and it looks like one of the cheapest ways to grow a window cleaning business there is.
Agencies, WordPress, and paying for the wrong things
At the top end, an agency will quote two or three thousand pounds and make it sound like the serious option. For a window cleaner it usually is not. Most of that price is overhead: designers, project managers, a sales team, an office, none of which fills your round any faster. Many agencies at that level also build on WordPress, which then needs ongoing patching and the occasional broken-plugin emergency. A static window cleaning site has nothing to patch and almost nothing to break, so you are not paying for that maintenance drama at all. That money is better kept, or spent on a second pole system and a bit of van signage.
The ongoing cost, honestly
Keeping a window cleaning site running well is cheap and predictable. A domain is roughly ten to fifteen pounds a year and it is yours. My care plan is £49 a month for hosting, backups and up to two small edits, which for this trade means you can adjust your service areas as the round grows or add a commercial section without a separate bill. If you want the site actively grown, that steps up to £129 a month. Both are optional, and there are no surprise invoices.
Weigh it against the round, not the clean
Here is the right way to think about a window cleaning website cost. Do not weigh it against a single clean, and do not weigh it against an agency’s inflated quote. Weigh it against the round.
A handful of new round customers, each worth a clean every few weeks for years, covers the build and a year of hosting quickly, and then keeps paying you long after. That is the quiet power of a recurring trade: unlike a roofer or a plumber, whose website has to keep finding fresh one-off jobs, your website’s wins compound. Every customer it adds to your round keeps earning, week after week, for as long as they stay. Priced against that, a few hundred pounds to build and a small monthly to maintain is not a cost to agonise over. It is the cheapest reliable way to grow the one thing that makes this trade profitable: a dense, loyal round.

Common questions
Questions I get asked.
How much does a window cleaning website cost?
I build them from £297 as a one-off, live on your own domain within seven days, with the first three months of care included. After that it is £49 a month for hosting and small edits, which you can stop any time. For window cleaning the number to compare it against is not one clean but a customer who stays on your round for years, and against that the cost is tiny.
Is a website worth it when window cleaning jobs are low value?
This is the key point. A single clean is worth a little, but a customer added to your round is worth that every few weeks for years. The website's job is to win recurring customers, not one-off jobs, so you judge the cost against lifetime value, not ticket price. One good round customer often covers the whole build, and the site keeps adding them.
Why do some window cleaning websites cost thousands?
Agencies bundle designers, managers and often a WordPress build into a big quote, none of which fills your round any faster. You are paying for their overheads. A window cleaning business needs a fast, clear site that sells the regular slot and targets tight areas, not an enterprise build, and it should not pay enterprise prices for one.
What does the build cost actually pay for?
A site built to sell the round rather than the one-off: making the recurring clean the obvious choice, making it effortless to sign up, and targeting the specific streets and estates where you want to build density. Plus fast loading and clear local information. The value is in a structure that grows a tight, profitable round, not just a pretty page.
Are there ongoing costs beyond the build?
A domain is about ten to fifteen pounds a year and you own it. My monthly plan covers hosting, backups and up to two small edits, so you can update your areas or add commercial work without a separate bill. Nothing is hidden, and there is very little to go wrong with a static site, so no surprise maintenance invoices.
How quickly does a window cleaning website pay for itself?
Faster than the low ticket price suggests, because of recurrence. A handful of new round customers, each worth a clean every few weeks for years, covers the build and the hosting quickly and then keeps paying. Unlike a one-off trade, every customer the site wins keeps earning long after the job that introduced them.
Do I own the window cleaning website or rent it?
You own it outright. The domain is in your name and the site is yours to keep even if you stop the monthly plan. I do not lock people in. The thing that builds and holds your round should belong to you, not be rented back to you every month.
