How much does a logistics website cost?

A logistics website typically costs £4,000 to £8,000 for a small haulier or courier and £8,000 to £20,000 for larger firms with sector pages, quote tools and portal links, based on UK quotes. Running costs add about £75 to £300 a month.

What do B2B logistics buyers check?

B2B buyers check services, coverage areas, fleet and capacity, accreditations, sector experience and case studies before shortlisting. Security credentials such as Cyber Essentials matter for some contracts. A clear quote request form with the right fields saves back-and-forth.

What do tracking and portals cost?

Linking to tracking or a customer portal from your transport management system is usually cheap. Building custom tracking into the website costs thousands and needs ongoing care. Start with links and add integration only when customers need it.

Where should a logistics firm spend first?

Spend first on clear service and sector pages, a well-designed quote form and proof such as accreditations and case studies. These shorten the buyer's shortlist decision. Visual extras matter less than accurate, specific information.

When can a logistics firm spend less?

A firm working for a few long-term contracts can spend less, with a clear site that confirms legitimacy and capacity. Spend more when you want new contracts from search or tenders.

What does this look like in practice?

At Global Bridge Labs (GBL), a UK logistics SME with 14 staff had a generic contact form. Replacing it with a quote form asking for route, load and frequency, plus sector pages, cost about £3,500. Quote requests arrived complete, and response times to new prospects fell from days to hours.
