One of the first questions business owners ask us is simple: “How much will my website cost?” The honest answer is that it depends on scope — but you deserve real numbers, not a vague “it varies.” Here is a transparent 2026 pricing guide based on what businesses actually pay.
Typical Website Cost Ranges (2026)
- Basic small-business website (3–5 pages): $500 – $2,500
- Professional business website (10–20 pages): $2,500 – $8,000
- eCommerce store (WooCommerce/Shopify): $3,000 – $15,000+
- Custom web application: $10,000 – $50,000+
Freelancers sit at the low end; established agencies sit higher because you are paying for strategy, design, testing, security, and support — not just code.
What Actually Drives the Price
Five factors move a quote up or down: number of pages, custom vs. template design, functionality (booking, payments, member logins), content and SEO, and ongoing maintenance. A brochure site is straightforward; a site that takes payments or integrates with your CRM takes more engineering.
One-Time vs. Ongoing Costs
Beyond the build, budget for the essentials: domain (~$15/yr), hosting ($5–$50/mo), SSL (often free), and maintenance/updates. Skipping maintenance is the most common — and most expensive — mistake we see.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a cheap website worth it? A $99 template can work to start, but it rarely ranks, converts, or scales. Treat your site as a sales asset, not an expense.
How long does a website take? Most small-business sites take 3–6 weeks; complex builds take 2–4 months.
