"How much does a website cost?" is the first question on almost every project. The honest answer is: it depends. But there are clear ranges, and understanding what drives them keeps you from overpaying —or paying too little for something that doesn't work.
What the price depends on
- Scope: a one-page landing is not the same as a corporate site or an online store.
- Design: custom (unique to your brand) vs. a generic template.
- Content: whether you provide it or we write and optimize it for you.
- Features: payments, bookings, integrations, multilingual support.
- SEO and performance: the most underrated factor, and the one that most affects your results.
Reference ranges (2026)
- Landing page (1 page): USD 300 – 800
- Corporate site (5-10 pages): USD 1,000 – 4,000
- E-commerce (basic catalog): from USD 2,000
- E-commerce (medium/large catalog): USD 3,000 – 8,000
- Platform or SaaS: USD 8,000 – 25,000+
These are reference figures and vary by country and scope. What matters isn't just the number, but what it includes.
What NO price should ever leave out
Responsive design, speed (Core Web Vitals), analytics, and above all, technical SEO. If a quote doesn't mention organic SEO or performance, they're selling you half a website: pretty, but one nobody will ever find.
The trap of going cheap
A USD 200 website may seem like a bargain, but when you factor in: inadequate hosting, no SEO (no one finds you), no security (vulnerable to attacks), no support (if it goes down, you're on your own), and a forced redesign in 2 years because the technology is obsolete... it ends up being more expensive than one built right from the start.
Monthly maintenance costs
| Plan | Price | Includes | |------|-------|----------| | Basic | USD 50-100/month | Backups, updates, monitoring | | Professional | USD 150-300/month | Everything above + SEO improvements + minor changes | | Premium | USD 300-500/month | Dedicated attention, 2h SLA, frequent changes |
A website is an investment, not an expense
A fast, well-ranked site pays for itself: it attracts customers without you paying for every click. That's why it's worth seeing it as an asset, not a cost to minimize.
If your corporate site generates 10 leads a month and each lead is worth USD 100, that's USD 12,000 a year in revenue. Investing USD 3,000 in a site that multiplies those leads is an obvious decision.
