How Much Does a Website Cost?
A straight answer instead of “it depends.” Here’s what a website actually costs in 2026, what changes the price, and exactly what you get — with a fixed quote before any work starts.
What Different Websites Typically Cost
Real starting ranges for the kind of work I do. Every project gets a fixed quote — these are just the ballpark.
One-page site — from $499
A focused landing page or single-scroll site built to convert.
Business website — from $999
A multi-page WordPress site with services, about, and contact.
E-commerce store — from $1,800
A WooCommerce store with products, checkout, and payments.
Web app — from $1,499
Custom software when a standard website isn’t enough.
What Shapes Your Quote
Four things decide where a website lands in that range. Here’s how each one moves the number.
Number of pages
A one-page site costs less than a 12-page site with services, a blog, and landing pages.
Design complexity
A clean, conversion-first build is leaner than heavy custom animation and bespoke layouts.
Features & integrations
Booking, payments, multi-language, or CRM connections add scope beyond a standard site.
Content & SEO depth
Whether you bring the copy or need it written, and how much SEO groundwork you want at launch.
You always get a fixed quote before any work starts — no hourly billing, no scope creep, no surprises later.
What’s in Every Price
No matter the budget, every site I build comes with the essentials — not bolted on as extras.
For the work I do, a focused site starts around $499 and a full business website around $999, scaling with pages, features, and design. You get a fixed quote up front so you know the exact number before any work begins.
Because “a website” can mean a one-page site or a 30-page platform with booking and payments. Price tracks scope — pages, design complexity, features, and how much content and SEO work is involved.
The build is a one-time cost. Optional extras like hosting, maintenance, or SEO can be monthly if you want them, but they’re never required to get and keep your site live.
A deposit confirms the project and the balance is due before it goes live. Revisions are included so you’re happy with the result before launch.
Yes — a focused one-page site is the leanest option and still does the important job of turning visitors into enquiries. I’ll tell you honestly where to spend and where to save.
Fixed price, always. You approve a clear scope and quote before I start, so there are no hourly surprises or creeping invoices.
