Website prices vary a lot. A wide range does not help you plan, so here is what sets the price.
Three sizes of business site
These are the three site sizes we build, with our example price and build time for each:
- One-page site: $1,500–2,500 (2–3 days)
- Business site, 5 to 8 pages: $2,500–4,000 (about a week)
- Site with booking, payments or a CMS: $4,500–7,500 (about a week)
These are example ranges. Your free AI Plan sets one Price for your site. You pay the Price in your AI Plan up front. You own it when it launches: the code, the designs and every asset.
Other builders charge more or less. Use our ranges to check what a quote includes.
What makes a site cost more
Five things move the price:
- More pages, since each new kind of page needs its own design
- Extra things it must do, like booking or payments
- Links to the tools you use, like your calendar
- Words and photos, if you do not have them yet
- Pages in a second language, like Spanish
Ask for each one as its own line in the quote.
Costs after launch
A site keeps costing money after it goes live. Ask for each of these in writing:
- Hosting, which keeps the site online
- Your domain name, which renews each year
- Email at your own domain
- Updates and fixes
- Tools you add, like analytics or chat
These prices change, so check each company's site for today's price.
In a Membership, we run and fix what we built. That is part of the price.
Red flags in a quote
- A price far below the others. Ask what was left out.
- One total with no lines. You cannot tell what you pay for.
- Unlimited changes. Ask how many rounds are included.
- Silence on what happens after launch.
- Silence on who owns the code and the designs.
How to get more for your money
- Write down what the site must do before you ask for quotes.
- Launch with what you need now. Add the rest later.
- Buy in steps, each with its own price.
- Plan who will write the words, and when.
- Pick a builder who will look after the site after launch.
