                "question": "How much does web development cost?",
                "answer": "Static websites start from £1,200 + VAT. Websites built on Bones start from £12,500 + VAT. Both are fixed prices agreed before work starts. Web applications such as CRMs and client portals are quoted after we have scoped what they need to do."

                "question": "What is the difference between web design and web development?",
                "answer": "Web design is how the site is organised and looks. Web development is building it and the systems behind it. We do both, starting from an agreed structure."
