How Much Does a Website Cost?

A straight answer instead of “it depends.” A focused site starts at $499 and a full business website at $999. Here is the table, what moves the number up or down, and what you get at each level, with a fixed quote before any work starts.

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 surprises.

included at every price

What you get, before you add anything

Ten things in every project, whatever it costs. Most quotes either leave these out or bill them separately.

  • 12 months of supportUsually a monthly fee

    Bugs fixed free, small tweaks handled and questions answered by the person who wrote the code, for a full year after launch.

  • SEO built in from day oneUsually a separate package

    Page structure, titles, meta descriptions, schema markup and an XML sitemap, done during the build instead of sold back to you later.

  • Speed tuned for real phonesUsually an upsell

    Compressed images, caching and clean hand-written code, so the site opens fast on mobile data, not just on office Wi-Fi.

  • Analytics from launch day

    Visitor tracking set up before you go live, so you can see where people come from and what they actually do on the site.

  • Enquiries where you read them

    Contact forms with spam and bot protection, WhatsApp buttons and click-to-call, pointed at your inbox or your phone.

  • Built for phones first

    Designed on a phone screen and then scaled up, because that is where most of your visitors already are.

  • You own everything

    Domain, hosting and every admin login in your name, handed over at the end. No page builder lock-in and no developer holding the keys.

  • A fixed price before work starts

    Scope, timeline and figure agreed in writing. No hourly billing and no invoice that grows while the project runs.

  • You talk to the developer

    The person who writes your code answers your message. No account manager, no ticket queue, no telephone game.

  • Content you can edit yourself

    Pages, text and images stay editable after handover, so routine changes never need a developer or another invoice.

Every item above is in the price. Nothing here is an add-on, and nothing here appears on a later invoice.
