What does a small business website cost?
Website quotes vary more than almost any other business service, because the word covers everything from a template filled in over a weekend to a bespoke build with integrations.
What does a website actually cost?
Anywhere from a builder subscription to five figures, depending on whether it is a template, a designed template, or built. Ours are $3,000 to $4,500 for a custom five to eight page build, then $250 to $450 a month.
We publish that because a range you can check is more useful than a promise to quote on scope, not because it is the right price for every business.
What actually drives the price?
Whether it is templated or built, how many integrations it needs, whether content and photography exist already, and whether anybody is responsible for it afterwards.
Content is the most underestimated. A build waiting on copy and photographs that nobody has time to produce is the most common reason a website project stalls.
How do I compare two quotes?
Ask both what happens after launch, who owns the accounts, and what a change costs in six months. Page count is nearly useless as a comparison.
