Oxford is a city of big employers and small businesses. The 100 largest employers, including the universities, the hospitals and BMW’s Mini plant, hold about 60% of the jobs, yet about 84% of Oxford’s businesses have fewer than ten staff. A firm that size rarely has someone to run a website. The Website plan is built for that: we write and build the site, keep it secure and backed up, and make it easy for customers to call, WhatsApp or send an enquiry from their phone.
Three decisions matter most for an Oxford website. Name the parts of the city you cover, such as Headington, Cowley, Summertown, Jericho or Botley, so people nearby can tell you serve them. If you trade from a stall or shop, put your days, opening hours and how to find you on the first screen. And give each main service its own clear section with prices or a quote route, because a visitor comparing three firms on a phone will not dig for it. On-page SEO is part of every plan; if you want ongoing work to climb local search, see our SEO service.
Oxford industries we build for.
Oxford City Council’s business sectors page describes an economy shaped by the universities and a century of car making. Education provides 28.5% of the city’s jobs and health 18.5%. Oxford is the largest centre of publishing in the UK outside London, and BMW builds the Mini at Plant Oxford in Cowley. We build websites for the small businesses around them: independent shops and market traders, restaurants and cafés, salons, clinics, garages, accountants and law firms, and the trades who work across Oxford.

Buy it piece by piece and watch it add up.
Every part of the Website plan is something UK businesses pay for on its own. On 28 October 2026 we read the price pages of UK sellers and noted the starting price for each part. Add them up and you get the bill below.
Your plan: £0 upfront, a custom website free for 14 days, no card needed. Then £149 a month at the founding price, kept for life by the first 100 businesses. From £299 a month after that.
How we worked it out: each figure is the starting price on the seller's own page, read on 28 October 2026. Design: Dsgn One. Hosting: SiteGround UK, renewal price. Care plan: ThriveWP. Chat assistant: Zendesk UK. SEO: Solve. AI search: Vixen Digital. The first-year total adds the design fee to 12 months of the rest. Where a figure says + VAT, the seller shows it without VAT; we show the others as the seller publishes them. Our prices exclude VAT where applicable. Prices change, so follow the links to check today's.

Web design in Oxford: questions, answered.
How much does web design cost in Oxford?
Buzzozo’s Website plan is from £149 a month: the founding price for the first 100 businesses, locked for life. After the first 100 it is from £299 a month, and Website + CRM is from £599 a month. There is £0 upfront, and your first 14 days are free with no card needed. Bigger or more complex sites are quoted.
Do I need a web designer based in Oxford?
No. Buzzozo is a UK company that works by phone, WhatsApp and email, and we do not have an Oxford office. What makes a website local is what is on it: your services, the parts of Oxford and the villages around it you cover, and your own photos. A ten-minute call or WhatsApp is all we need to start.
Is the free 14-day website really free?
Yes. We design and build a real website for your Oxford business and put it live on our hosting for 14 days, with no card needed. Continue on a plan from £149 a month and it stays live. If not, it comes down and you owe nothing.
What do I get for £149 a month?
The design, writing and build of your website, fast green UK hosting, an SSL certificate, security monitoring, daily backups, speed optimisation, software updates, on-page SEO and an AI-search-ready build, contact forms with click-to-call and WhatsApp, your domain in your name and UK support. Bought separately from UK sellers, the design, hosting, care plan and AI chat assistant in our table came to £3,293 for the first year when we checked on 28 October 2026.
Can you build a website for a Covered Market trader or independent shop in Oxford?
Yes. Oxford City Council describes the Covered Market, open since 1774, as a hub of around 60 independent specialists, and Gloucester Green outdoor market trades from Wednesday to Saturday. A stall or small shop needs the same things online as any business: what you sell, when you are open, where to find you and a quick way to get in touch. If you want to sell online as well, we build online shops too.
Will my website help me get found in Oxford?
Every site includes on-page SEO: titles, descriptions, page structure and schema, with your services and the parts of Oxford you cover written out clearly. It is also built for AI search, with FAQs and llms.txt, so Google and AI assistants can understand what you do and where. Search providers choose their results, so nobody can honestly promise a position.
Tell us about your Oxford business. We'll build the site.
About ten minutes of your time: your business details, what you offer, and any photos you have. We handle the design, the words and the hosting.
- Day 0
- A short call or WhatsApp about your business.
