How much does a website cost
Tick what you need and we give you the range, the breakdown of what drives that number, and the timeline. No sign-up and no email. If you then want a real quote, we talk it through with your case in front of us.
Where these numbers come from
They are not an average off the internet. They come from what building a site costs in our shop: the reference we publish is 2,500 dollars for an informational site of up to twelve pages in one language. The formula splits that into a fixed part, which is design, structure, technical SEO, tracking and deployment, and a part that grows with the pages. That is why a five-page site does not cost half of a ten-page one: the fixed work happens once.
A second language adds close to ninety per cent on top of the base, because it is not translation: it is duplicating pages, routes and reciprocal language tags. Moving a site that already exists adds for the address mapping and the redirects, which is where rankings get lost when it is done badly.
What the range does not include
Hosting and maintenance, which are a monthly fee rather than a one-off. Photography and video. Translation of material you hand over in a third language. And the online store, which we do not quote from a calculator because it depends on catalogue, payments and inventory.
One opinion, for what it is worth
The question worth asking before rebuilding a site is whether it needs rebuilding. In half the businesses we audit, what holds them back is not the design: it is that the form goes nowhere, the button leads nowhere, or the map listing is half filled in. That costs far less than a new site and moves more.
What to do with the result
If the number works for you, the next step is seeing whether your case fits: how we build sites, what maintenance covers and the four packages, which already include the site. If it does not work, say so on the call and we will tell you what we would do in your place.
Questions
How much does a website cost in the United States?
For a service business with an informational site of up to twelve pages in one language, the reference we use is 2,500 dollars to build. It goes up with a second language, with migrating the old site and with the number of pages. An online store is a different thing and gets quoted separately.
Is maintenance separate?
Yes. Building it is a one-off payment, and hosting, deployments, security updates and minor changes are a monthly fee. Handing over a site with nobody to keep it alive leaves a problem due in six months.
Why does a five-page site not cost half of a ten-page one?
Because much of the work is fixed: design, structure, technical SEO, tracking and deployment happen once. What scales with pages is layout and copy, which is the cheaper part.
Who owns the site when it is done?
The domain, the content and the data belong to the client from day one. The site code is theirs as soon as they pay for the build. There is no waiting period and no balance left to pay.
