Market ranges
What a website costs, by who builds it.
Published 2026 ranges from across the industry. Where your project falls depends on the drivers below.
Cost factors
Six things that move the price.
01Number of pages
Each service, location and product line is a page to plan, write and design. Page count is the single biggest lever.
02How custom the design is
A theme in your colors costs far less than a design made from scratch, and motion and video raise it again.
03Who writes the content
Content is the number one cause of late launches. Paying for copywriting costs more up front and usually saves weeks.
04Features and integrations
Booking, e-commerce, CRM follow-up, calculators and member areas each add build and testing time.
05The platform
WordPress, Shopify, CRM Connect or custom code change the monthly running cost more than the build cost.
06Timeline
A rush means more people on the job at once, which usually adds around a fifth to the price.
After launch
The monthly costs nobody mentions.
The build is a one-time cost. These keep going, and they belong in the budget from day one.
Before you choose
What to ask any web designer.
Who writes the content?
If the answer is you, ask how long they will wait for it. Late content is the top reason launches slip.
What happens to my leads?
A form that emails an inbox loses leads. Ask where form fills go and how fast someone is answered.
Who owns the site and domain?
You should. Make sure the domain, hosting account and site files are in your name.
How fast will it load on a phone?
Speed is a ranking factor and a conversion factor. Ask for PageSpeed scores on sites they have built.
Website cost FAQs
How much does a website cost in 2026?
Anywhere from nothing for a do-it-yourself builder to $30,000 or more for an agency-built site, and $50,000 or more for large or e-commerce builds. Most small business sites built by professionals land in the low to mid thousands. Use the calculator above for a range based on your pages, design and features.
How much does a small business website cost?
A professionally built small business site of five to ten pages typically costs a few thousand dollars, more with custom design, copywriting, SEO setup and a CRM wired into the forms.
Is there a monthly cost for a website?
Yes. Hosting, the domain, security and maintenance are ongoing. Budget for a monthly care plan as well as the build, and ask what is included before you sign.
How long does it take to build a website?
A small site usually takes six to twelve weeks from kickoff to launch; larger sites take four to six months. Content arriving late is the most common reason a launch slips, which is why we offer to write it.
Can I build a website for free?
You can build a basic site free on a DIY builder, but you will pay for a custom domain, remove the builder's branding, and spend your own time. For a business site that has to bring in leads, that time is rarely free.
Why do agency websites cost more than freelancer sites?
You are paying for strategy, content, design, development, testing and support from a team, plus accountability after launch. A good freelancer can be great value for a simple site; complex or lead-critical sites usually need more hands.
