The detail behind the number
What affects website cost
A handful of decisions drive most of the price. Understanding them helps you budget with confidence and brief your designer clearly.
Website type
A simple brochure site costs far less than an ecommerce store or a fully custom build. The platform and complexity set your starting price.
Number of pages
More pages mean more design, build, and content work. Most small business sites sit between 5 and 15 pages.
Features and integrations
Blogs, booking forms, payment gateways, multilingual support, and third-party integrations each add development time and cost.
Content and SEO
Professional copywriting and SEO setup improve results but add to the budget. Ready content keeps costs lower.
